    I'm rating Casbah again to put an exclamation point on the fact that it's just always good. Always. Stopped in on a spur of the moment decision to celebrate a milestone last night (short notice, last minute reservation). Food was delicious as always, and our server, Paige, was a boss. Food= 5/5, Paige = 6/5. (Thanks for the carrot lava cake tie-breaker vote, Paige. Game changer.)

    What a treat! Free valet but you do have to tip! Worth it. So worth it. It looks like its on the side of a strip mall from the outside and the inside had two different areas. We were seated in the well lit area and it was beautiful. Our service was great. I got a wine flight. I enjoyed all 3. But the mushroom lasagna was unreal. I think the mushroom was dehydrated and it was like crispy bacon. The best Ive ever had. And the bread service had two different butters which I am always a fan of. We loved it! It is on the pricier side but thats why I say its a treat!

    Have not been here for over 20 years since celebrating an anniversary for my parents...stopped for a bite after shopping with a friend....greater as soon as we walked in and asked our seating preference...seated indoors and waited on immediately...given menus and ordered a Cosmos (what a girlie drink) ...when I saw a Shrimp and Calamari appetizer, I knew it was for me....did not disappoint...soft music and low lighting...bathroom spotless also

    While I've been to Casbah for brunch a couple of times, we recently did dinner for the first time. I requested seating at the lower level, which turned out to be a great choice as I think the ambiance is way nicer downstairs. They seemed to suggest they use it more so as an overflow for walk-ins. We had some of their non-alcoholic mixed drinks, which tasted good and came with nice presentation that is often lacking. We had the Burrata as an appetizer. We didn't want the accompanying Prosciutto, but the server replaced it with hummus and pita, which was a very nice gesture. We had the Short Rib Ravioli, which was rather hearty, and the Branzino. The bread pudding was a bit unique in that it seemed more along the lines of crispy toast; however, I was really pleased with it. It was creative and a winner! I'd love to have it again. One change or addition I would have liked was a bit more olive oil in flavors and accompaniments given this is a "Mediterranean" restaurant. Also, I think they would be well served to polish the presentation a bit since dishes seem to come with splatters. Good date night spot!

    The food is fantastic and never disappoints. Our server, Iris was wonderful, gave excellent suggestions and pairings, and didn't rush us. The ambiance is charming. The front dining room feels like dining in a canopied garden, even in February! Casbah isn't just dining out.. it's an evening out. Before I forget... the salted caramel after your meal.... they sell them! Get a dozen to go!

    Casbah is a great option for special occasions, date nights, and visitors. The ambiance is rustic, intimate, and would be suitable for smaller groups (with reservations). If you sign up for the restaurant groups mailing list, they send you a credit for an entree valid at most of their restaurants. We chose here and were not disappointed. They offer fun seasonal offerings in addition to pastas and their main menu. During our visit they had a winter pasta festival theme with 6 smaller pasta dishes. They all looked great. It's actually a mailing list I enjoy reading the emails from. We tried the Spanish octopus appetizer, ricotta cavatelli, and Lemon Lumache (winter special). Everything was great. Service was good, nothing over the top. Would try again.

    Aperol Spritz

    I started with an Aperol spritz, which was great. The food was superb! The burrata appetizer with cherry tomatoes and prosciutto was so good that I ate it before I had a chance to take a picture of it. The roasted half chicken with potatoes, carrots, squash, mushrooms, pistachios, and thyme. Juice was out of this world! The server, who was excellent and accommodating, had recommended the chicken and I'm glad I listened to him. The chicken skin was crispy and tasty, and even the salad and vegetables were seasoned perfectly. Even the bread was so good that I took all the extra bread home! The restaurant is so quaint I felt like I was eating in Europe. The valet parking on site made it very easy to get in and out.

    Decided to celebrate our 11th anniversary at a place we hadn't been before - Casbah. We were seated downstairs which was cozy and intimate. Our server was very attentive and the pace of the meal was perfect. We had a hard time narrowing down our food choices, but I think we made some excellent picks. Started off with the crispy calamari and rock shrimp, roasted beet salad, and grilled artichokes. For our mains, my husband ordered the red pepper casereccia with scallops while I opted for the Scottish salmon with lentils and green beans. Everything was so delicious, and we managed to eat it all! Despite being completely full from our meal, our server brought us salted caramels which was a nice surprise. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Casbah!

    Dined here for a friend's birthday and ordered the tuna tartare to start. It was delicious! The calamari was a great portion size to share. Then I had one of their pasta options for my main. Always a good option for more upscale shadyside dining.

    Burrata

    Love this place!! Cocktails were delicious. We had the hummus, meatballs and burrata for starters - meatballs were my favorite. Service was wonderful and the seating is so pretty

    casbah was underwhelming. the ambiance was great and the service was pretty standard as well. however, the food was definitely not worth the price tag. nothing blew me away, nothing made me think, wow i definitely need to come back and try the other items on the menu! overall, it was expensive and fine.

    The spread.
    Christina W.

    I really enjoyed the ambience of this place and great food. We were seated in the basement which turned out to be nice and cool with great decor and lighting. It felt like we were in a speakeasy bar. The waiter was incredible. He did not only check in on us frequently, but he was very thorough in his recommendations. We ordered the spread which consisted of three different dishes and chickpea bread. My favorite was hummus followed by the pepper thing. I don't remember exactly the names. I didn't get to try the main dish as I was completely full after the spread, but they had a variety of pescatarian dishes and a few vegetarian. If you are a vegan, it would be a bit difficult to find something unless you want to go for some salads. Overall, I enjoyed dinner. I'd recommend to come with empty stomachs to enjoy several dishes.

    The food at Casbah is always amazing. We always get the filet and it's great. The burrata and meatballs are also really good every time.

    Do they take walkins?

    They 'take' walking, but there are almost never any open tables, especially on the weekends.

    Is it BYOB?

    No, they have a full bar available.

    4.5 stars. Alihan's Mediterranean Cuisine opened in 2013 and serves Turkish cuisine for lunch,…read moredinner, and special events. The menu lists many meat, seafood, and vegetarian options, and the chefs can accommodate customers on gluten-free and vegan diets. Examples of menu items are lentil soup, babaghanoush, falafel, shepherd salad, lamb chops, many kebabs, sea bass, sautés, house-made desserts such as baklava, and non-alcoholic beverages. My husband and I ate one lunch here. Indoor and covered outdoor seating was available. The employees promptly greeted and seated us, and I appreciated that they recommended specific menu items to help me choose. After a reasonable wait, the foods were brought to our table. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Grilled Shrimp - 5 stars - Several large, juicy shrimp were on skewers and had been perfectly cooked. Sides were mixed vegetables and a mix of rice and bulgur. Chicken Shish Kebab - 4 stars - The chunks of chicken were large and juicy and had a mild seasoning. On the side was rice pilav. Turkish Tea - 4.5 stars - This black tea was a good size and was served hot. Packets of sweeteners were available. The total price was $55 plus tax and tip.

    Even though Pittsburgh is pretty cosmopolitan, this was apparently the first Turkish restaurant in…read moreDowntown Pittsburgh when it opened in 2013. It didn't surprise me when I entered the premises because it had an old school ambiance with chandeliers, white tablecloths, and personalized plates. Given how chilly it was outside, I didn't have any trouble getting a table without a reservation. It was a matter of moments after I ordered when a basket of presumably Turkish bread arrived with a house tapenade made with olives, walnuts, and olive oil (Photo 8). That was delicious and the bread provided a soft, absorbent vessel. For an appetizer, I went with the $11 Grilled Veggies which was a generous plate of zucchini, eggplant, onions, leeks, green & red peppers, carrots, and tomatoes. The flavors were enhanced by a marinade of herbs and balsamic glaze (Photo 9). It stretched into a side dish for my entree, the $35 Grilled Lamb Chops Kebab. Four plump, tender ones came with an order along with a side salad and a scoop of rice (Photo 7). I thought all the food was pretty good with the tapenade and lamb chops the standouts. I'd come back should Pittsburgh call my name again. FOOD - 4 stars...Turkish delights, hearty portions AMBIANCE - 4 stars...old school and refined SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very quick, little interaction TOTAL - 4 stars...go Mediterranean in downtown RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?
