24 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Upper Saint Clair

“Finally managed to enjoy the main restaurant experience and it was well worth the wait. Everything about this place is a complete joy. The service is friendly, attentive, and genuine which adds to the already cozy atmosphere. The menu seems to change out on a monthly basis so selection is always going to be an enjoyable challenge. We had four in our party and, after our sharing the calamari appetizer, everyone went their own direction. Everything sounded amazing but I decided on the filet and it was outstanding. After dinner we decided on two desserts which we shared. I rarely get dessert but the food was so incredible I couldn't miss out. This place is such a treat and well worth the price. Whether you're marking a special occasion or getting together with friends, this place is a must. There's limited seating so be sure to book well in advance. Highly recommend! Enjoy!“

“Been here a several times and food is always super good. Very happy with the veg options.I had drinks and food there again the other night and it drove me to write this review... i need to say, the staff is truly phenomenal. Julie and Dani know their stuff and are so incredibly welcoming. Food was super good as usual but I really felt compelled to sing these praises this time.Go to The Forge if you want great service and atmosphere + the good food and drinks are a bonus!!!!!!!“

“After searching for a breakfast spot in the Pittsburgh area, we stumbled on this place and let me tell you that this spot was WOW. Fabulous atmosphere with absolutely delicious Turkish food and super friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try authentic Turkish food.“

“After a long hiatus following Covid closures we finally stopped in for a dinner on Friday night. The service was excellent. The food was as we remembered … flavorful and served hot right out of the kitchen. Mediterranean Chicken and Lubbe are both great. Gyro is OK. Only negative was the atmosphere was a bit bright and had a “cold” ambiance that felt like a cafeteria. Other than that great authentic pick for a good dinner.“

“Best food in Pittsburgh! We eat here about once a week. We order take out, dine in, and order grub hub when we are lazy, and it’s all consistently delicious. Natasha and her parents are so welcoming and have such a good vibe.I’ve ordered for work events and had large quantities made and it turned out amazing .The lamb chops are 10/10 , better than any 5 star restaurant in the city. You can’t get homemade ,authentic , ethnic food like this too many places. I recommend to all of my friends and family.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access and no steps“

“After months of intending to try Palmyra Mediterranean Cuisine, I finally made it for a late lunch this afternoon. While I am a native Pittsburgher, I had resided in NYC for 15 years and experienced some damn good shawarma, and what I was served today is second to none. This is not a compressed mass of processed ground beef and lamb, but rather marinated, stacked, tender cuts of meat perfectly roasted on the spit. You may, if you're fortunate, find shawarma as good, but I am certain you won't find better. Also, the proprietors are genuinely good folks with a demonstrated - however, humble - pride in their in their food, and this is reflected from the first bite to the last. If South Hills Village is remotely convenient to you, make the trip. (Also pictured is the spicy hummus, baba ghanoush, and stuffed grape leaves.)“

“Everyone is always so nice and the food is incredible! I enjoy getting lunch from here, despite it being about a 12 min walk—it’s worth the jaunt. The meat is always really tender (I like the chicken shawarma), they have excellent hummus, and I love their potatoes and green beans. The price is also very good for everything, the portion sizes are big, I always have leftovers.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options.“

“We went there for take out on Sunday night for dinner. Tried a small babaganus, regular falafel, one assorted aladin special kebab platter and one seesh kebab platter. The platters comes with buttered rice. Some of them comes with salad as well. The food taste really great. All the kebabs were very well cooked There, flavorful and tender. Babagsnus was very tasty as well. There was a pita with one of the above dishes but not sure with which dish I got the pita. My complain is about the quantity. The platters cost anywhere between 17 and 21 dollars. Given the price the quantity was not what I was expecting. Also the dips like tahini sauce or garlic sauce were not free which was kind of wired. They will change you 75 cents for that. The ambiance looked ok to me. There were one one couple eating in the restaurant when I went to order. So not sure if it gets busy during some other time of the day. There were ample parking available. The shop also sells cakes like carrot cake tiramisu and baklava. The service was really good. I ordered upon reaching there. It took them under 15mins to hand over my order“

“Last month I visited this jewel of restaurant with two colleagues and were pleasantly impressed by the service and food. The salad was one of my favs with the falafel. The server was kind enough to translate some of the menu and also give some background as well. Worth the drive.“

“I've eaten at Delaney's just one other time and was very happy with the food. I stopped in today for a coffee and treat. I got the almond croissant but was prepared to be disappointed. Too often, when I've purchased almond croissants elsewhere, I find that there isn't enough almond filling.Well, let me just say that I was not disappointed today! The filling went almost to the very end on both sides of the croissant and there was plenty spread all throughout. The croissant is flaky but I wouldn't have cared if it had the density of a bagel. The filling did it for me.Good coffee, service felt a smidgeon slow but it i was in and out in less than 10 minutes so, that was just me. And, the people at the counter were just lovely-- very polite, professional, and pleasant.I would definitely recommend Delaney's for coffee and a treat to start the day. Or for lunch.“

“Mmmmm... very good. ??Google keeps providing great suggestions on areas we've never been.Very cute, clean little restaurant with excellent food and excellent service. I think it is just one man here and he is very efficient! Cute, quiet atmosphere, and good portion sizes.As you can see by the pictures the presentation is great, and the last picture speaks for itself! No doggie bags needed! ???Very nice traditional experience. We had 2 Turkish coffees, so I will probably be up until next Tuesday, but it was also very good. ??We will definitely be back.?Vegetarian options: Lots of Vegetarian options.. all were delicious. ??Parking: 10“

“I love Kassab's. Great food. The sleek is incredible, stuffed grape leaves are wonderful, hummus is really fresh, and their sandwiches are awesome. I often pick the mezza platter for a lunch meeting, and everyone has always loved it. Eating good, and eating healthy!“

“Heavily recommend this place!Whatever you get it's bound to be great tasting and generous.The owner is very kind and will make you feel welcome.I got the chicken tawook and it was delicious, both packed with flavor and juices and very filling too.“

“This hidden gem check all the good boxes! It takes a bit longer to get your food but it really is worth the wait. Our waitress was super nice and it was a very clean place. They have some of the best tasting fries you can get here. Very low noise level and no wait time to get seated. Prices are very reasonable. There is lots of parking in a lot right next door and some behind the building. This used to be Toms Diner. Very nice menu. If you haven't been here you really should try it“

“The food here is always great! I ordered the gyro kit to serve for guests. There was plenty of gyro meat, pita bread and all the necessary fixings. Everything was ready on time and was delicious. I have ordered several times and will continue to order in the future.“

“Aladdin’s never disappoints! We had a real nice dinner tonight. I had the Aladdin’s platter and my wife had the Gene’s Combo platter. BOTH were delicious! I highly recommend eating here in Mt.Lebanon. I can’t wait to come back again! Leah was our server and she was informative about the menu and attentive. I wish they would open a new Aladdin’s in the West Hills area!“

“This is our second time we live over two hours away in Northeast Ohio, And made the trip specifically for the pizza! It is so good. The crush is amazing. The overall taste takes me down memory lane we got the vegan pies. Be sure to give it a try 10 out of 10“

“Great little spot with great selection. First time we got a little bit of everything. Falafel salad and gyro were great. Hummus, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves, chickpea salad, and a few others from the cooler were great. Got a dozen baklava, ate half the first day.“

“Great experience at Alihan's today! My friend and I ordered the iskander kebab and Turkish falafel. We really liked them both! The complementary bread is so soft and chewy. The ambience strikes a nice balance between classy and comfortable. We learned from the staff as they closed out for the evening that they had been understaffed. They were so pleasant and attentive that it didn't show! I highly recommend Alihan's for an all around positive experience.“

“Amel's is top of the line Mediterranean cuisine and my favorite go-to for baba gannouj. They have an extensive menu (including American fare) and always have several dinner specials. My favorites: stuffed eggplant, mazze platter, tabbulee, grape leaves and lamb shish kabob. The beet salad is excellent. Their seafood specials are always fresh and delicious! The swordfish kabob is outstanding if it's on special. Entrees include a stellar Amel's salad and warm pita bread. There's a separate bar with patio seating and a small bar in the dining room. Embellishing a great dinner is a warm and colorful ambiance of many hanging lamps, and the romantic mural on the wall will captivate your imagination! I've enjoyed dining here for years, and it offers good service and a moderately priced menu. Amel's is one of the few restaurants where you can enjoy a late dinner or small plates and cocktails. They are open until 11 pm Monday through Saturday. If you are looking for a big hit for a party try the mazza platter. I thoughtful friend added it to my birthday party menu. It contains, the dips, taboulee, artichoke hearts, stuffed grape leaves and pita. It can also be also vegan friendly and gluten-free, and everyone loved it!“

“This will always be a place I go to anytime I visit family in Pittsburgh. There isn’t a place around quite like this. The owner personally serves you and gives you a little history about the dishes he made for Jackie O. The wine is excellent, not too strong or over powering. The hummus is the best I’ve had. And the Jackie O cake has to be the best cake I’ve ever had also. I don’t eat sweets usually but I could eat Christo’s cake all day. Definitely my favorite Greek restaurant.“

“I had the Hummus Bowl and it was delicious. My compliments to the chef, but the service was horrible. The person at the register was not nice. We told her it was our first time and her response was “there’s the menu”. We tried to ask her questions about the menu and at first she replied with one-word answers and then she left.“

“I was walking by Fifth avenue, and I stopped to get some food from Ash \\u0026 Kris Kitchen truck. Honestly, it was by far the best Gyro I’ve had in Pittsburgh. I met Ash personally and he was super nice and friendly. Highly recommend if can spot the truck.“

“Really outstanding find here. I hope they stay in business for a very long time. I was not familiar with all the cuisines but everything appeared authentic made to order. The teas and coffees were not made from instant like other places. I was probably the only native English speaker there at the time — always a good sign.“
