“The food was amazing, such interesting combinations, very fresh and tasty. Loved the atmosphere. Price was very fair for what we had and as we weren't in a rush we were very happy. Sadly, only one staff member on the floor with occasional help from the kitchen staff. The poor girl was literally rushed off her feet. Not fair on her or the customers so please put an extra staff member on to help. I will return though... Thank you.“

We had our favorite dishes --- Calamari & Rock Shrimp, Swordfish and the Red Pepper Casarrece. We enjoyed the drinks especially the Negroni. We just love Casbah for all of our special occasions.“

“Slowly has become my favorite coffee in the city. They have a killer matcha and their lattes never disappoint. What really sold me is they make homemade lavender syrup the way I do at home and it just warms my soul. I love the staff. They are all so friendly and passionate about their work. Middle of the road for prices ($4-$6) for a speciality drink. Highly recommend.“

“We love this place. The food here is amazing and fits in the budget. They make fresh breads and pastries with unique combinations. Also, the staff and the ambience really makes you feel welcomed. Anytime in Pittsburgh, make sure to visit this restaurant and bakery.“

“10 out of 10, Pittsburgh needed a place like this. The toppings were all so delicious, think of it like a Yinzer Cava.Vegetarian options: Best Falafel in PittsburghKid-friendliness: Daughter (5) loved it, fries were next level (dip them in the hummus)“

“This is the best place for super-fresh salads! The plum tomatoes are like a little bit of summer. I don't usually eat the tomatoes on salads because they're usually either tasteless or downright nasty. Gali's somehow finds good-tasting tomatoes even during the winter. Everything is fresh and crunchy and their salad dressing is very good.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are a bit heavy, but you can get in with a wheelchair.“

“This is my favourite restaurant in Pittsburgh. For starters, it's halal which means I can eat any item on the menu. The food is tasty and delicious. I've had their food at the restaurant and as take out and the quality is the same over time which is a very big green flag! The people working there are all lovely and friendly as well.“

“Waitress was friendly.. food was very good .“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. Economically priced.“

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

“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.“

“Great grape leaves and kibbee ❤️“

“Falafel to fall for! Great food out of a great-looking truck. Freshly made and great tasting. We hope you come back to Mingle on Main in Saxonburg. We'll be looking for some of the best Greek Mediterranean food around!“

“Their entrees are huge and come with a salad. I love the thickness of the dejaj bil khudar -- the green peas, tomato soup, and the chicken breast mixed up so well! I wish the rice was a bit less bland but it blends very well with the meat. The food came out in less than 10 min. I believe this is a family-run restaurant. Super impressive given there were many large parties. The host was fast in filling up water and offering to-go boxes. We went during Christmas season. The place was filled with festive decor, warm and cozy.“

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

“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!“

“Very cute place authentic even the owner. He said his 107 year old dad makes wine. We ate here for my birthday and everything was delicious. Hard to find places like this that owner is hands on and great food. The mousakka and Greek shepards pie and lamb was good. The owners charm made it even nicer and personable.“

“Got the byo bowl with chicken kebab, it was amazing. I already ate one skewer before taking a picture. It was a fully loaded, hefty bowl for only $15 and so delicious! I suggest the babaghanoosh, hummus and gyro sauce on top. My picky toddler loved the cheese pizza slice and rice pudding so I was happy she ate.“

“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“

“Excellent food and service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“My first time eating here; a friend recommended it. I've enjoyed Middle Eastern food for 50 years and have traveled through the Middle East. I ordered the Baba ganoush-falafel rolled sandwich and it was surprisingly good and tasty! It was a good size and generous in the ingredients including some long Middle Eastern pickle strips which I loved and is uncommon in Pittsburgh, but authentic. The whole sandwich was nicely warmed which is also unusual in Pittsburgh where usually only the falafel pieces (if anything) are warm.“

“My stepson ordered us food while we were visiting. I really love this food! We had the Jasmine's special. Chicken was delicious and tender. The rice was very good. I'm not a fan of chickpeas but I ate them and loved them. We also had the special with steak. Very good. Hummus was great too! I will definitely eat there again.“

“Their food is really good but I hate their hours. And they’re not committed to their hours posted. They close whenever, regardless of hours posted. Picture is 4:56pm on Friday website says 5:30pm close time and note on door says 6pm close time. Regardless still not open.“

“We often go there with a group of 89 or 10 people, including two children under the age of six. The staff always accommodates us and serves us well. They also permit one to BYOB with a small cork fee. I am not a big fan of Middle Eastern food but I think, the food is fresh and wholesome and they have many many vegan selections.“
