An amazing meal and a gorgeous restaurant! I dined here for the first time recently with a friend…read moreand we were impressed. Here's what we got: -The Flirting Camel cocktail - made with real camel's milk! The first sip was interesting, and just got better and better. So unique & creamy. -Fairouz in the Morning mocktail - my friend's drink - she enjoyed it! I took a sip and it tasted like fall! -Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) - absolutely delicious! I love stuffed grape leaves. -Hummus - so yummy & smooth. My friend had the cucumbers and I ate all the pita because she's gluten free. -Kefta Kebab - my friend and I both got this as an entree and it was divine! So flavorful! -Cream & pistachio baklava - probably the best baklava I've ever had! This was a really great experience! Everything was fresh and truly delicious. Our server was great and everyone was so nice. They were also really accommodating of my friend being gluten free! And the space is absolutely gorgeous I will say it's a little pricey - my friend and I split the two appetizers, but my check was around $80 with tip & tax, which is a lot for one person. The Flirting Camel drink is expensive, but understandably so because they import the camel milk. Overall the meal was worth the price! And I had leftovers from my entree. I would love to go back and try the lamb! it was so good & so unique! Fairouz in the Morning mocktail - my friend's drink - she enjoyed it! I took a sip and it tasted like fall!!

This is a family establishment that's been open since the 70s (pretty incredible)!! The food and service were great too. They were extremely kid friendly with our infant. For Sunday brunch they have a prix fix menu with a variety of options from a traditional Syrian breakfast (with potatoes and egg scramble) to a hearty tomato shakshuka. They also have super unique cocktails like a fig martini. They also have different types of mezze, and the labnee dip was great. I can't wait to come back to try dinner!

Very nice Mediterranean restaurant. I visited this place on the day before Mother's Day, and it was…read moresurprisingly not super packed. It's got a nice location on the central road in Squirrel Hill, but it's a bit hard to find parking. When I got there, I got to try their shish tawouk (chicken kabob), mujadara, salad with feta, and iced mint tea. The tea was pretty alright. Refreshing and a nice mint flavor; I think they might make the blend in house. They also brought out some nice pita before we started the meal. For my main course, I ordered the shish tawouk. You usually get this meal with the rice pilaf, but they were out, so I got to try the mujadara. I'm actually quite glad! The chicken was tender, and the portion was very fair. They served it with a nice tomato sauce, but I also asked for some garlic sauce on the side. The sauces both seem to be homemade, and definitely go well with the chicken. The mujadara was surprisingly delicious. They top the dish with crispy sweet onions. It's a mix of lentils and some other grain. Very good! One thing to mention generally is this place closes quite early, usually around 8 or 8:30 PM, so do keep it in mind. It is also very clearly a family endeavor, with the mom managing most of the tables and the kids always helping out. Very nice place!

We were looking for something different for dinner recently and thought we would give this place a…read moretry. I've been to this plaza before to eat at another restaurant. We were confused as to where the actual restaurant was. There is a sign on Route 8, so we parked there, looked around, walked downstairs, only to find it was offices. We then walked upstairs and found that the entrance was actually on the other side of the building but accessible from the front. It's an interesting place when you walk in. We were quickly greeted and seated. It seemed as though the owner and family were working. The menu was interesting, not real large but sufficient. We had, who I believe is the owner, come to our table and ask what we typically like to eat and then she was making suggestions. We thought she was just being helpful. My wife finally looked at her and said, I'm sorry are you also taking flour order now? She replied well that's what I was trying to do. To me that was a little off putting. We all took her suggestions and ordered. The food came out fresh and warm. It was good. We all tried each others meals. We felt that what my wife ordered was the best. The place isn't huge inside but it was fairly busy. It was a little pricey but not bad.

I got to try the chicken shawarma platter with rice and falafel and toum as well as the namoura. The chicken shawarma was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, perfect seasoning, juicy chicken. Very good, and great portion size. The rice itself was simple and fluffy, just perfect. I loved the white sauce; super garlicky and went amazingly with the chicken. And the falafel too...very good, very crispy. Loved it. The namoura was great as well. Absolutely huge for the price, very tasty too. I think it would have went even better with some ice cream or something like that. Very good. All in all, you have to stop by here for lunch one of these days. Amazing food!

Absolutely terrible across the board EXCEPT for the chicken shish kebab. That was actually insanely…read moredelicious. But also is $23 for MAYBE 2oz of chicken and bagged veggies. Not worth it whatsoever. Also the "grilled" veggies that came with it. Maybe put on it for 10 seconds. Just look at the tomato... Gyro was bland and dry. Tzatziki was under flavored and SUPER RUNNY. Happens when you don't use enough/proper yogurt, drain cucumbers improperly, or let sit out too long. Lamb shish kebab dry and overcooked I don't even know what soup we got but that was horrendous I would like to mention the baked good did look great but I had zero desire to spend anymore of my money here Inside was very spacious so seating shouldn't be a concern if you actually waste your time going.

I've been to Gyroland multiple times for dine in, once for an event, and have gotten takeout twice…read more Above all else - I find Gyroland's food to be consistently amazing. Some restaurants have a quality difference between dine in and takeout and I've not found that to be the case here. My fave items on the menu are: - lamb shish kebab - adana kebab - pide with Turkish sujuk - lahmacun - hummus Parking is really easy since they have a lot and they have multiple tables inside. For events, they have an area on the side of the restaurant to set up a long table which was great to fit a larger group. The only reason I removed a star for this place is because I've not had the best luck with desserts. The pastries in the case look beautiful but I've tried them multiple times and didn't enjoy them.

Ali Baba's on Craig Street always hits the spot…read more The four of us pretty much worked our way through half the menu. We started with the maza platter loaded with hummus, baba ghanoush, artichoke hearts, taboulleh, feta, and olives, plus stuffed grape leaves. Added an order of mujaddara and spinach pies, then moved on to the lamb and chicken shish kebabs. Somehow we still had room for baklawa to finish things off. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you come here. The staff is friendly without being overbearing, and the Craig Street location has a relaxed neighborhood feel that makes you want to stick around. Good food, good people, good spot. Ali Baba's is one of those places that never disappoints.

A true Pittsburgh institution. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in all of this city. And,…read morethat's saying a lot considering what a foodie town the Steel City has become. In all of the years they have been in business (family owned since 1972), the quality and service has never waivered. I am an absolute nutter for Mediterranean food, specifically Syrian. The food is 100% legit, authentic. Made with love, care, & pride. My goodness that tabooli is INCREDIBLE! All fresh ingredients, all the time. Just the right amount of lemon so it doesn't overpower the rest of the flavors. The spinach & lentil soup reminds me of an old boyfriend's Sitty's kitchen. Her soup was the best and the stuff you get at Ali Baba is nearly identical. Kebab dinner platters and grape leaves are fantastic. If you're visiting Pittsburgh, check out North Oakland and this little gem. It's off the beaten path and not touristy but the food is solid and delicious.
