I really love Alihan's. Celebrated birthdays at their main location. So when I heard about their breakfast spot, I knew I had to check it out. Of course, it did not disappoint. I got to try their menemen, ayran, and sweet pogaca breakfast pastry. Everything was wonderful across the broad. Truly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The menemen was so flavorful. Tons of tomatoes, some spice, some other vegetables, fresh eggs. And the lovely fresh bread that accompanies it is just out of this world. So soft and perfect. Soaks up that delicious sauce. You must try this. The pogaca, I initially thought might be basic or overpriced, but I was proven wrong. It was so, so good. Another must try. So soft as well. I had the sweet version with honey. The honey is excellent. Even on its own this pastry is amazing, and it's just next level with the honey. Finally, the ayran. It was at this spot that I discovered I love ayran. It is just so perfect. Amazing portion, great price too. Best balance of saltiness and creaminess. So so so good. I can't recommend this place more highly. Definitely have to try it out for authentic Turkish breakfasts in Pittsburgh! read more

Alihan's had been on my "to-go" list longer than I'd like to admit. Don't be like me--go sooner! Maybe my new favorite breakfast place? Don't sleep on the Turkish breakfast for two (choose the menemen--trust me.) Turkish coffee is a necessity and spending the extra couple dollars on the Sultan version (comes with a piece of baklava and Turkish delight) was absolutely well worth it. The veg was fresh and the flavors delightful. The cheeses were incredible and I could never decide what my next bite was going to be, I wanted it all. Alihan's has been moved to my recommendation list for Pittsburgh and I'm so looking forward to my next visit! read more

I got a recommendation from a local that was Turkish. I immediately looked it up and got their the next morning. I love checking out local regional food. I ordered their two person traditional breakfast with some Turkish coffee. The olives, cheeses and bread was delish. Their egg dish also hit the spot. It was too much for me to eat in one sitting and was perfect for a late afternoon leftover. The deal is perfect for two people and I highly rate the whole experience. The staff were kind and the cafe was quaint and all in Turkish style! read more

This place is very delicious! The service was excellent, our server was kind and welcoming. The ambiance was nice, I loved the decor and the overall vibe, it was great.

I got the Smoked Salmon Crêpe (4/5) and the menemen (5/5). The crepe was pretty good but small, so I am really glad I got the menemen too. The menemen and bread were excellent; the bread was super soft and went wonderfully with the flavorful menemen! We went through two baskets of bread with our dishes, so the menemen and bread was an incredible value too. I am excited to come back and try other items! The service was good (4/5) but slightly slow. The restaurant has a nice cafe vibe (4/5). There were only one or two tables open late on a rainy Sunday afternoon, so there might be a wait sometimes, but it would be worth it. read more

It is a go! Elegant Turkish coffee service. Very friendly and accommodating service, really good food and coffee, with an ambience of a rustic coffee shop. I had a Turkish coffee and menemen (a Turkish tomato, egg and sausage dish) and it was excellent. My girlfriend had the oatmeal which she said was very solid. Also, the restaurant is Halal if that's something that you were looking for. There is the sister restaurant for lunch and dinner across the street, but I did not try that place. read more

The food was great I had them eat lover's omelet. Honestly, I'm looking forward to having the left overs. Hubby had a big waffle loaded with strawberries and blueberries. There was a light glazed sauce poured over it. He loved it. The service was perfect. The place was fairly empty as it was about 10AM on a Wednesday. The restaurant isn't really themed at all but it is very clean. This group also owns another restaurant right across the street. read more

What a delicious experience! We really enjoyed our Turkish breakfast for two. It included bread and condiments, a couple of Turkish cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and a yummy egg, sausage and potato dish. The Turkish coffee was exactly what I needed too. Just wait a couple of minutes to let the grounds settle and then you have a morning boost with more caffeine than two espressos. This is a great experience when you have a little time to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. You won't be sorry. read more

Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast - Turkish breakfast for two. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We came to try the Turkish coffee. My hubby also had the summer salad. The staff here is very friendly and they kept their modest and informal restaurant clean. They sell Turkish breakfast items but also salads and light lunch items. You can get a variety of teas as well. If you want the Turkish coffee, understand it's an experience, not a grab and go like at Starbucks or Dunkin. It is served in a traditional cup which is small, but the coffee is potent like a Cuban cafecito. The salad with shrimp was good, but the dressing was very light and oily. We are more used to a vinegary taste with oil based dressings. But it was a good portion with fresh ingredients. Not their fault, but there are vagrants in the vicinity, and one happened in while we were there pretending to be a customer. He didn't get to stay long, so no worries. It's downtown after all. If you're in the area and looking for a good Turkish cafe, Alihan's is a good place to try. read more

Breakfast here this morning was excellent! We ordered the Turkish breakfast for two and it was plenty of food and a really nice variety. I'll be dreaming about the honey and butter. All the veggies tasted fresh and the menemen was so good, especially with adding sausage. An issue for me was that there were no bathrooms - both were out of order. I asked if there was somewhere I could wash my hands and they brought me hand sanitizer, but it's not really the same. It seemed family friendly, but they did not appear to have high chairs. We'll definitely come back again since the food was so good! read more

Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast - Turkish Breakfast for 2 with Menemen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Regardless of your religion, belief, or creed, I think we can all agree that Turkish breakfast will be served in paradise and if we're lucky, Alihan's will do the catering! I legitimately have no negative feedback to give. The interior was beautifully decorated and really made you forget you just walked off the street in downtown Pittsburgh. Everything was ornately designed even down to the dining ware they used. I haven't felt that fancy since the first time I learned what fine china was. The food made me emotional, having to leave felt like going through an unwanted separation. I ordered the menemen specialty and a sultan coffee that came a Turkish delight. Everything was fresh and hit you with overwhelming flavor. The portions were easily enough for 2 meals (and the leftovers helped ease the separation anxiety). The service was fantastic. You can feel the passion that the owners/staff have for sharing their food and their culture, which adds to making the overall experience feel like a lot more than just stopping for a bite. If you are in Pitt, I cannot recommend enough stopping here! You won't be disappointed, but you may need to step back and re-evaluate your life after. read more

Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast - Menemen hazelnut french toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A delicious and unique experience! I have now eaten here several times, both for lunch and breakfast. I like the variety of options for both menus. A favorite for breakfast are the hazelnut crepes. They are packed with flavor and the strawberries were huge and sweet. My favorite lunch item is the shrimp sandwich. The shrimp were huge! And the avocado was the perfect consistency. One thing I will say is that if you order online, maybe call to confirm the order was received because even though I had an order confirmation and payment was made, when I arrived to pick up the order, they had no record of it and said they "sometimes have system issues". They did offer me a complimentary coffee while I waited to make up for the issue. Overall a great dining option with a lot of unique flavors. Definitely recommend it. read more

My friend and I stopped by Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast for brunch. Upon entering, the place was packed, even though it was a Monday morning. Despite the nearly full restaurant, service was reasonably fast. Our server promptly took our orders, and we got our food and Turkish coffee in a very reasonable amount of time. I ordered the omellete, which came with two sides. The omellete was cooked perfectly and had the perfect amount of browning while still being soft and moist. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for both locals and tourists. read more

So happy I found this spot while on our trip to Pittsburg! The location is perfectly placed central to a lot of things! We stayed at the Hotel Monaco and it was only an 8 minute walk from there. This place is small and intimate and looks to be locally owned. The workers there were very pleasant. I went with my sister and we ordered quite a few things. Everything tasted so good! My favorite was the burrata salad! My sister also ordered the Turkish coffee and it came in a cute little cup. So cute. read more

The food is wonderful. Menemen, especially. We went on a Friday morning around 1030, and it was relatively busy so I didn't expect quick service. You seat yourself and wait. I had a pot of Turkish tea while waiting for my food and with some honey and lemon, it's great. We got the Turkish breakfast for two which comes with all that's seen in the photo. You may order over easy eggs instead of scrambled for the menemen. Also, if you order spicy sausage there will be a surcharge. Ambience is really nice it's got a cozy vibe and a coffee bar. I recommend the spot if you're trying to scratch an itch for Turkish food/tea. read more

Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My friend and I walked here from our hotel for a late breakfast on Veteran's Day. They weren't very busy when we got there (around 12:30 or so) and it took a while for a server to greet us and get our order placed. After 35 minutes with no one coming back or even bringing out our coffees we ordered, I had glanced back and a different server saw me and came over to see if we needed help. I asked her if they normally serve the drinks with the meal or if they come out beforehand because we had thought we would at least have our coffees by now. She said she would go check. A couple of minutes later our actual server came over and asked me to "remind her of our coffee order" and I said we ordered the traditional Turkish coffee and a sultan's coffee and she nodded her head and said "yes, it's on its way" or something like that and walked off. It was a little strange, but there seemed to be a slight language barrier. A few minutes after that she comes back, with no coffees, and asks us to now also "remind her" of our breakfast order because she "accidentally mixed up tables." We had only ordered the Turkish breakfast for 2 with meneman and the 2 different coffees, so I'm not sure what there was to "mix up." We also were seated near the only 2 other tables that had people at them (and this is a very small space). The table to my left was one man by himself and the table to my right was a group of 3-4 people who were already done eating before we arrived. It made us feel like she had just forgotten to put in our order entirely. About 5 minutes later she comes back with some of our food and asks if we want to move to a bigger table, so we do. The rest of our food and coffees came out and she also brought out some hot teas for the "inconvenience" (her words). The food was INCREDIBLE and we loved every bite. It was nice being able to have little bites of different things and feel full when you leave, but not bloated. The table had a really flavorful hot sauce out already and it was a great addition to the meneman. The drinks were all wonderful- I was glad to have the extra tea because our server never came over to ask if we needed anything else or check on us after we initially moved tables/started eating, so we never got water refills or extra napkins. Only one other person came in to eat after we arrived, so it was not because it was busy. We sat around for a few minutes after we were done and the other server that had said she would ask about our coffees came over to bring us our check so we could leave. While the food was really delicious, I don't think I would ever come back here based off of the bad customer service and wait time we experienced. Maybe other customers have better luck when eating here, but there are plenty of other breakfast spots in the city to eat at. read more

My first experience with Turkish food was out in Philadelphia. I was delighted ever since but very hard to find Turkish cuisine, specifically. I was so happy to have found this coffee/ breakfast spot!!!! We went twice, it was packed for Sunday brunch!! Hard to find parking, long wait and not a very good dry erase board where you put your name on. As names are called the names above get erased but other people start writing their names and then those names get called before you do after waiting so much longer. A terrible wait list system! We finally go a table. Ordered but switched tables from a six seater to a two seater, since there was a family of four waiting to be seated. Whom were ahead of us but the dry erase system bumped them off to the bottom as others wrote their name above theirs too! The waiter said it was good and thanked us for making the larger table available but I guess he failed to notify the kitchen because our order went to the other table lol thank goodness I caught wind of it and waved the waitress to our table. We ordered sunny side eggs 3, Turkish beef sausage and roasted potatoes, Turkish bread with cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes, and chocolate crepes. It was amazingly delicious!!! The second time we drove here and it was a Monday morning, was able to find a parking spot not too far from the cafe. No wait we were sat down immediately. We both ordered omelets, cheese, and a veggie. They were served with some Turkish bread. Both were well seasoned and cooked right. It was very filling. We also tried the yogurt drink and that was so refreshing. I love plain yogurt and this was perfect! We had a hot chocolate and a coffee all very good! The restroom was clean and all the tables and chairs were clean as well. Will definitely come back when I'm this area. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by a waiter we had at a local fine dining spot in Pittsburgh. I was intrigued when I learned the restaurant is Turkish. The server was pleasant but the service is completely lacking. I would have preferred walking up to a counter and ordering. Despite the restaurant being 90% empty I had to flag the server down after patiently waiting for her. She never checked on us after our food came and I had to flag down another server to get the check. Pretty much complete service failure despite almost no customers. I ordered a smoked salmon crepe but they were out of salmon ( it happens). Switched to an omelette which was fine but nothing special. Turkish bread (no different than other French or Italian bread) was soft and good. No butter or jam offered/ served. Turkish coffee was good but amazingly they don't give you a spoon. Love stirring my coffee with a knife ! No one asked if we'd like a second coffee as no one came by. Prices are reasonable. Music slightly too loud for breakfast but that's a personal preference. I was overall disappointed and would not recommend this restaurant for breakfast. read more

The food was good but customer service is HORRIBLE. They sat me next to the area they are juicing and ALL of the gnats were everywhere.

I cannot rave about this place enough. I tried it for the first time summer 2023 when I was visiting my best friend. I fell in love with Turkish breakfast. To the point that I talked about it so much to my boyfriend, that when we found ourselves in Pittsburgh this summer, he made sure we visited this place first day we were in the city. We got the breakfast for two with menemen and a pot of Turkish tea, followed by Turkish coffee. They never disappoint. The whole meal is just impecable. The bread is my absolute favorite! The service is always incredible. We are there almost every day and the owner always said, "welcome back" when we came in each morning. It's always the highlight of my time in Pittsburgh. read more

Excellent service, no wait at all and server was extremely friendly. Felt very welcome and the music inside made the atmosphere feel warm. Got the menemen with added beef sausage, very good dish!

I stopped by here with my wife and twins on a Sunday morning earlier this year. Every Sunday we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we went to Alihan's Coffee and Breakfast. The inside of the restaurant was quite beautiful with bright yellow walls, wood looking flooring and some fun lights. For a place with coffee very large in their name I did find the to go place to order a coffee somewhat cramped and small. In any case I ordered myself a large pistachio latte and my wife a large plain latte. After only a couple of minutes wait I had my coffees and we were on our way. Unfortunately my coffee from here ended up being quite disappointing. I felt like the coffee itself was super mild and I couldn't taste the pistachio either. As someone who likes strong coffee, that is not a good combination for me. My wife has similar coffee tastes and also thought that there wasn't enough coffee flavor. The bottom line for me is that I wouldn't stop back here again in the future, at least for coffee. With that being said I did enjoy the look and feel of the shop and thought that their breakfasts looked good and so would be willing to give that a try. read more

They will try to charge you "Large Party Service Fee" for only 4 people. Also, they will ask if you want to refill the bread basket and charge you for it without letting you know. Sneaky. The waiters and waitress were fine but the manager should learn how to tone it down speaking to customers. She made my group feel uncomfortable at times. Also, when I asked her for ice, she came back with a cup of ice that was in a used cup. When I poured it in my own cup there was floating orange pulps. Anyways, the Menemen was very good, add the sausage! read more
