“This place is truly a hidden gem. It’s very cosy inside and the food is absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly and kind. Even gave us free lentil soups! I had the gyro wrap with fries and my friend had a bowl - both were super well made and flavorful. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, generous portions, nice people“

“The people were just wonderful they were crowded but they let me relax and enjoy my food. They were happy to guide me as well as educate me on anything I wanted to learn about related to the food. I got a recommendation for the Turkish sausage panini. It was filled with cubes of sausage similar to pepperoni but more cumin forward-which I happen to love. It had copious amounts of cheese and cooked to perfection with just a kiss of golden brown on the cheese, with soft ciabatta with slightly crisp exterior. What also pleasantly surprised me that was that it was not greasy. It came with a very lightly dressed side salad which was perfect to break up the richness of the sandwich.
I had a pistachio latte that had notes of cherry flavor. I have also enjoyed the pot pomegranate tea. A light refreshing juiciness with lemon zest- but not too sour. Just delightful. They were busy but I did not have to wait. I am already planning my trip back for the chocolate pistachio crepes! Do you think tomorrow would be too soon?“

“We had a delicious breakfast of crepes and French toast this morning. We want to come back and try the dinner menu. Friendly service! Highly recommend!“

“Bosphorus has the tastiest lamb kebabs, as well as an interesting selection of different types of grilled lamb and chicken, served with a delicious salad, sauce and rice. There are great vegetarian options, too and the owner/server has a great memory for your preferences. Outdoor seating was pleasantly shaded, and indoor is of course also available.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed!“

“My experience at this restaurant was awesome… the food was fantastic, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Recently we had out of town guests, and they raved about the food particularly the seafood options. The 2 different meals they had at the restaurant were both exemplary and I was very proud to tell them we eat there often. We first ordered our meal for takeout and then we went to the dining room for the second meal. Thank you for the many years of continued dining excellence.“

“Love love love it

12/23/25 Update:

@ 40 minutes to closing location decided not restock roasted veggies or falafel. Why should vegetarians suffer because you want to start packing up for home an hour before closing ?!“

“My visit was quiet, the food was wonderful and the service excellent. I had mixed lamb and chicken kebabs that were wonderful and served with rice and a small bit of salad. Excellent choice if you want to be full but not bloated and love delicious food.“

“First time ordering at a halal joint outside of NYC and was not disappointed. Beef Schwarma is mouth watering. Appreciated an extra slice of pita for my picky child that was given on the house too!“

“First time eating at this food truck at the Freedom Farms festive and it was delicious! The owner explained that they have restaurants in Lawrenceville and Cranberry in addition to the food truck. Looking forward to eating from this vendor again. Highly recommend.“

“The Forge is a staple for us for date nights and special occasions. They consistently update the menu with new food and drink items that make us excited to return, while keeping some favorites that have been there since the restaurant opened. The ambiance and decor are classy yet fun, definitely instagrammable. The staff is very knowledgable, attentive, and warm. Can't wait to see their future food and cocktail creations.“

“The service is personal and attentive, the food is plated beautifully. I ordered a vegetarian plate with falafel and it was tasty and I'm guessing authentic, but someone might need to correct me on that. I really felt that it must be authentic. Although the restaurant is obviously converted, taking a bit away from the atmosphere, it is spotless. Prices are fair.“

“best food in the food court!“

“This is the only place we go for Lebanese Food! Everything is fresh and delicious. The grape leaves are the best I’ve ever had. The food is incredible. The service is phenomenal. And the portion sizes are amazing. If you have never been, you need to go.“

“This is without a doubt that best coffee I’ve had in Pittsburgh. I go pretty much every weekend and the quality is always great. They are busy, but for good reason obviously, the coffee is great! I’ve always had good service here and love this gem on the Southside.“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight! And enough left for lunch tomorrow.“

“Delicious Food great seeing you at Sewickley Farmers market“

“I placed a takeout order at the Fox Chapel (Pittsburgh) location on 3/29, around 5pm. I live in SE Virginia and my son’s father lives in Aspinwall, we were meeting 1/2 way in Maryland for spring break so I asked him if he’d pick up and take out order for me at the FC restaurant, and bring it with him and our son. (Nothing in my area compares to Aladdin’s!!). When I called, an amazing woman answered the phone, I asked ONLY if they could put the sauce on the side for my Shawarma so it wasn’t soggy 8 hours later when I’d be home to eat! Without second thought, she offered to make both of the Shawarma’s “deconstructed” with everything separate so I could “build” the wraps myself!! I also ordered the Dawali! When my ex handed me the bag and went to the cooler to get my food, I noticed what the crew had done…. They put everything in separate takeout containers and even wrote instructions on the Dawali container for me to heat, when I got home!! Everything was separate and the amount of extra time that was spent on the order was above and beyond!! It may seem simple, but for them to take the time and effort to make sure my food was just as good as it would have been if I ate in the store was really refreshing!! So THANK YOU to the Fox Chapel location for packing my order with such attention and my ex will be bringing a cooler with Shawarma’s and Diwali’s each time we meet in Maryland!!!“

“I love the kind people who work there . Am disabled and they help me out with everything I need would recommend and I have in the past my cousin works across the street and he is very satisfied with the food and prices“

“This restaurant is a delightful surprise. The service and food is phenomenal. Definitely the place to eat if you are looking for great ambience, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Five stars hands down.“

“These guys are great! Their food is absolutely delicious, the gyros are gigantic and they are very pleasant to deal with. You definitely want to try them out!“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“delicious & authentic greek food! best gyros in the burgh & best salads on earth 🌎“

“love they food“

“We always visit Aladdin when we come up to see my son and his fiance in Lebo. The food is fresh and well prepared at a fair price. Mike was our server and he warmed up nicely after a bit with a funny milk story. Thanks to all the staff who make every visit special.“

“It was a pleasure working with Judah and his stuff. The food was good the portions was large the service was awesome. Thanks a lot !“

“My wife and I ordered a build your own vegan pizza featuring well done crust, vegan cheese, red sauce, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and mushrooms. The pizza was phenomenal! Crispy and substantial crust; umami sauce, and fresh veggies. Well done and thank you to the chef!“

“The hospitality was impeccable. I felt so welcomed and appreciated. The staff were uncommonly kind and concerned. The grape leaves were delicious. It is a small space but enough room pairs or a quad. But the hospitality was enough to make me eager to return.“

“Fantastic food! Our family is super picky about food quality and ingredients… we are gluten and dairy free. Alladdins is accommodating to both. Fast and super friendly service. This will be our go to restaurant when in town for a track meet at Spire! Perfect fuel for our athlete“

“We loved our food and the service was friendly I hope to come back“

“Long time authentic Greek restaurant with old charm and delicious food! This is such a nice spot to get authentic Greek and right next to the cultural district. I have ate here a couple times and the food is always delicious. The owner/head chef Cristos greets you, takes your order and loves to tell stories and answer questions. He was once a personal chef to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. If you’re looking for great food and a charming atmosphere with character this is the place!“

“Really nice place for a good time and tasty food! I am actually quite impressed with how tasty the food was here. This place serves a variety of food items, from American burgers to Middle Eastern wraps. It seems like they are best known for their saj, so that's what I ordered. I tried the Arabic chicken shawarma saj with French fries.

It was delicious! The price was quite fair for the decently large portion. The chicken was cooked well and had nice spices with it. There was a sauce to put it all together. It was creamy and truly delicious. Some nice pickles for crunch, and the wrap itself was also pretty good. Very nice!

The French fries were kind of mediocre. They didn't have a ton of flavor to them and weren't that crispy. I would have probably been fine without them, or if I could, would have traded them for another side.

All in all, the main course (the saj) was delicious! I definitely recommend this place for some cheap food and a nice experience.

“I love a good established dive in any city, and Mike & Tony’s is no exception.

This is a no-nonsense, counter-service, cash-only joint that slings some of the heftiest, tastiest gyros I’ve ever had.

And can we talk about the fries? If my eyes don’t deceive me, they double-fry them—crisp, golden brown on the outside, with that deep, savory flavor that can only come from a fryer that’s seen some things. Has the oil been changed this decade? Who’s to say—but I mean that in the best possible way.

If you find yourself in downtown Pittsburgh, don’t miss this place. BRING CASH. You won’t need much—prices are super reasonable, and the portions are more than generous.“

“I had no problems with my meatball/bacon pizza and Italian hoagie. Everything tasted good. The hoagie had a lot of meat on it. I’m glad I finally tried them after all these years. Larry & Carol's Pizza“

“I travel for work and tried to give this place a shot. Food is fresh and good. The guys at the counter were nice and efficient. Prices are more than reasonable. Had a combo platter with Falafel and chicken with white sauce and a side of green. Like it all especially the thin falafel.“

“So glad to have a Mike & Tony’s in the neighborhood! Consistently delicious gyros and tasty apps. We love the spinach artichoke dip and the Gyro salad. The happy hour deals can’t be beat and they always have great beers on tap. This place has a family friendly atmosphere too if you want to take the kiddos.“

“Love the gyros, prices are very reasonable, but I hate that its cash only. They have an ATM in the store which is very convenient, but having to pay a fee to get cash is a pain.. Store has been the same vibes every since they opened, you just can't dine in anymore. All in all, definitely worth it.“

“Over Eden hosted an incredible surprise 30th birthday party for me last night. The food and drinks were incredible and so reasonably priced for the amazing atmosphere that was provided. Our server Cody was so attentive and friendly, patiently took photos and made sure all of our guests needs were met. I tried tastes of the Cajun fries, artichoke spinach dip with pita, calamari and friend shrimp (LOVED the shrimp so fresh), pierogis (if you get angry when ordering them at other restaurants and being handed mrs ts these are perfect home made pillows for you), and the Korean short rib. This was the best birthday of my life and highly attributed by this venue and their staff.“
