Istanbul Grille Reviews
Cannot emphasize enough how amazing the food is and how friendly the staff was. When I was having trouble selecting from many new foods, they made the experience so welcoming and explained everything in depth. I highly recommend you give this place a try, they’ll walk you through everything! Every item that I tasted (which was many) was absolutely delicious!

Istanbul Grille is a highly praised restaurant known for its authentic, fresh, and flavorful Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. Located in the basement of the US Steel building, it offers a casual and welcoming atmosphere with friendly and kind owners who treat each guest like family. The restaurant is famous for its large portion sizes, providing great value for money, and is a popular spot for both lunch and dinner. Guests enjoy a diverse menu that includes vegetarian options like the cold plate with beet salad, lentil salad, baba ghanoush, and beans, as well as meaty delights such as chicken salad with beets, chickpeas, white sauce, and spicy sauce, and gyros with chicken and lamb. The food is consistently described as fresh, healthy, and flavorful, with many reviewers noting that every meal has been excellent with no bad experiences. Visitors appreciate the variety of tastes beyond typical Middle Eastern fare, encouraging exploration of the diverse dishes offered. The restaurant is cash-only, so guests are advised to come prepared, especially during busy times when lines can form. Regular customers highlight the generosity of portions, helpful staff, and the overall high quality of the food. Despite moving from its original location downtown to the Steel building, Istanbul Grille remains a favorite for many, with some praising its consistency and authenticity that makes it a stand-out in the Pittsburgh area. Overall, it is considered one of the best places for delicious, healthy, and affordable Turkish and Mediterranean food.
