This place has gotten me through a lot of days where I didn’t have time to cook in Pittsburgh, but needed a healthy option. The chicken kebabs are solid. The staff is super friendly and the food is always ready really fast. I usually park next to the mattress store or the church When I’m picking up.

I had a very mixed experience dining at this restaurant. I visited with my spouse, and while the food was delicious and the ambiance calm and soothing, what happened afterward was disappointing. After enjoying our meal, I paid the bill and left. Surprisingly, the staff took the bill back from me before I left. I assumed everything was in order and didn’t think much of it at the time.
However, a couple of weeks later, I checked my credit card statement and discovered that I had been overcharged for the dine-in. I contacted the restaurant to request a copy of my bill for clarification. They initially promised to look into it, but a few days later, they informed me that they do not retain copies of bills for more than a week.
Without the receipt, I am now unable to file a complaint with my bank to dispute the overcharge. This experience has left me wondering whether restaurants can modify bills even after they have been settled by the customer.

Great food and quantities. Didn't realize we would also get *baskets* of fresh hot special bread, sauces, and seasoning. If we lived closer , we'd definitely come back again. Prices were reasonable too.

Verily, I bring tidings of Selami's Turkish Kebab House, a noble establishment in the realm of culinary delights.

Four stars and a half, I bestow upon this house of savory meats, for 'tis a feast fit for the Steward of Gondor himself. Though the price may cause one's purse to feel the weight of Mithril, it doth not rival the treasuries of Erebor in its expense.

The flavors, dear traveler, are as rich and varied as the lands of Middle-earth. Each morsel a journey, from the Shire to the very fires of Mount Doom, awakening the senses like the call of Boromir's horn.

Yet, I must speak of a minor grievance, as one would whisper of the coming of Sauron. The portions, while satisfying, leave one wishing for the bottomless bounty of an Ent draught. But perhaps 'tis a blessing, for my form has grown round as a hobbit's belly after second breakfast.

Though I hail from the distant lands of Korea, as foreign to these dishes as an Elf in a Dwarf mine, I find myself drawn to these kebabs like Gollum to the One Ring.

In conclusion, I say unto thee: journey to Selami's, for there you shall find a fellowship of flavors that will carry you through many an adventure. May your plate be ever full and your goblet never empty!

It took 45 minutes for us to get our food. The waiter was hanging out with his friends watching videos on their phones. They also got our order wrong which resulted in a longer wait. I had to flag down the waiter for the check because he was too busy on his phone. It felt like I was in a comedy sketch for bad service

I’ve gotten dinner here about a dozen times or so. I typically get the same things every time and the quality is great and consistent. The hummus is very creamy and I love the sprinkle of sumac on herbs on top. The red sauce with the kebabs is so good, also a big fan of their piyaz. Friendly, efficient service. An entree and 2 appetizers ends up being like 3-4 meals for me so I think the prices are great for the portion sizes.

We had lunch there yesterday for the first time. Service was attentive and questions answered patiently and different foods explained.
The food was well prepared and presented. I was impressed to notice the dish was cool on the end where the salad was and comfortably warm where the rice and chicken kebab was. First time at any restaurant that I have ever experienced that! My husband enjoyed his chicken wrap. A fresh pita was served with mine along with several containers of sauces and spices.
There wasn’t a separate smaller lunch portion so I had plenty leftover for another meal at home.
The only slight negative for us was wanting a bit more air circulation in the room.
The dining room was set up with attractive table linens and the decor was pleasing and clean.
Overall a pleasant experience and good food.

I loved the overall experience! Highly recommend this place to anyone trying Turkish food for the first time. I consider it more of a fusion Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant. It was fantastic. Taste, presentation and affordability. Am looking forward to trying the other locations but will be going back to this one and have already recommended it to friends and family!
