Middle Eastern Restaurants in Pittsburgh, PA

“Excellent establishment! Everything you want in a great dining experience - delicious and authentic food, superb customer service and clean, well appointed atmosphere! Will definitely be back. We had 4 different dishes with a variety of protein and side order options and nothing disappointed. It’s hard to find truly ethnic food and Rosewater delivers. And close to all theaters and quick service keeps you on schedule. You will not be disappointed!“

“Was there for a take out . OUTSTANDING. Everything was perfect“

“Pretty solid spot for Middle Eastern food. They offer a fairly good menu for a food truck and the prices are right. They are also quite generous with their portions and sauces. I tried the small gyro dinner and falafel.Well, the small gyro dinner wasn’t small! It was a great meal size. I thought the meat was well cooked and seasoned decently. Good texture as well. They included some salad as well, although it was mostly lettuce, but also had some tomatoes. Nice and fresh.There was also rice served with the meal, and it was buttery. I really loved the tahini sauce they served with the falafel I believe, and I even poured some of it onto the rice for extra nutty flavor.The falafel itself was also pretty good. Decent size, crispy, crunchy. A little too dry for my liking, but great price. Not bad.But, I was very disappointed with the tzatziki sauce. It was oddly acidic and not really creamy. Tasted almost like a canned sauce.Other than that this place is great! Greta prices, portions, and pretty high quality food. I’d love to try more items from here as well.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of healthy and Mediterranean diet options“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. I've been going here for decades. The lentil soup and rice is my favorite and so delicious; it's my comfort food. Yummy!“

“What a find! Flavorful, decorative and clean atmosphere, and very economical. Was looking for a walkable place from PPG that's good for a group and it's literally right across the street. The menu is build-your-own so everyone can get what they want (think Chipotle for Mediterranean food - but much better quality and flavor!). It's very economical too, which is rare for this area. They even brought our group free lentil soup samples that were SO good! They have a kids menu as well. Will be coming again!“

“delicious lebanese food! the falafel was so crispy, the salad was fresh & the coffee tahini milkshake was delicious!

Dietary restrictions: vegan friendly—including delicious tahini milkshakes! the falafel bowl works without tzatziki“

“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!!!“

“Service was great, very friendly. Food was hit and miss. Loved hummus and falafel. Kabobs and chicken were little dry. We ordered Flavor Savor Special and Aladdin's Favorite Combo. Overall very good experience and good value for money. I recommend this place.“

“This local, family owned and run Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant is worth the trip. The daughter was a delightful, helpful server, and her mother does the cooking in the kitchen. The ambience was simple but pleasant, and the tables, dining room and bathrooms were clean. The tabboolee (I’ve seen it spelled other ways, too, but this is how their menu spells it) was some of the best I’ve had. It was absolutely fresh and homemade with a perfectly balanced lemony dressing. The salad was really, really good having some sort of it grated feta on top, something we had never had before. Our favorite was the moussaka. It was awesome with a fluffy and creamy bechamel type sauce on top. We couldn’t stop making happy yummy oohs and ahs while eating it. The portions were very generous at a fair price making the meal a great value.“

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

“I am visiting Pittsburgh and was craving for good coffee and desert. Went to Christos… wow what an amazing small cozy restaurant. Food , warmth, service and gentlemen there were amazingly pleasant and welcoming. I went back ti have dinner and my fav Jackie O coffee and desert. I enjoyed sitting there feeling like I am somewhere in Europe far away from the city in peaceful place. Food was delicious ❤️. Thank you will come again!!!!“

“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.“

“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“
