    Balaclava is wrapped, on the right of it is hummus. Above the hummus is the baba and next to that is the spicy hummus.

    We've been coming for a few years now. The hummus, baba ghanoush, baklava, gyros.. all the things are amazing. Those particular things are homemade. They stock lots of middle eastern cuisine fixings, tea, seasonings, etc. The men who run this place make it, though. William, whom you'll easily recognize by his amazing mustache, and Larry who's also extremely nice. From what we've read in City Paper these guys are brothers. They are easily one of the best little spots down in the strip. I want to tell you to buy the baklava, but I also want there to be baklava left for me!

    Very cool Lebanese store in the strip but for me, it honestly cannot match the variety or value of Pitaland in the Brookline suburb of Pittsburgh. I came here as it was the 3rd stop on my foodie tour and we got to sample a plate of hummus and pita bread. I like my hummus more intense - this was fairly bland and the one bright spot was luckily the intense Greek olive oil used (after living in Europe for a couple of years, I can now totally tell you the difference in taste between Greek, Italian and Spanish olive oils!) The owner had an interesting mustache but I couldn't take any photos of him. Based on the food I had, it was a-okay hence 3 stars. If I go back and eat something that blows my mind, will update my review. Yelp Review 62/2017

    Bought a large, delicious and cheap gyro from a man with a nice handlebar mustache. WIN. Only thing I bought in the store was a small container of sliced almonds for $2. Seems like a great place to buy ingredients for Mediterranean dishes though.

    The hummus was good quality. I would like to try the red pepper flavor. I'd come back if I was in the strip.

    I have enjoyed shopping here since it has opened roughly 16 years ago. They have always had great…read morestaff and the products are usually pretty good quality. I also appreciate the fair return policy, if something is wrong they refund your money and also you can replace the item. They don't give you any grief if you need to return something like Giant Eagle. They have certainly expanded their selection and the quality has always been good. The only issue is that the items come and go just like Trader Joe's. I love the hummus chips that pop up every once in a while, but then they go away quickly. I have always loved the fact that they never use plastic bags, which is very sustainable. It is very good to have them in the neighborhood. Please note: if you park out in the front you will not be able to transport your groceries in a cart out to your car. The store is wired so that the cart gets locked up if you try to leave out of the front door. This can suck if the back parking lot is full.

The selection of products is smaller than what many other grocery stores offer, and the prices are low to moderate. My husband and I shopped at this ALDI in the South Side one time. We saw a decent variety of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, eggs, meats, seafoods, snacks, pantry items, beverages, and other products. My husband commented that the chicken cost less than the chicken at other grocery stores. We purchased several snack foods and beverages for a stay in a nearby hotel. The cashier performed their job well. We did not have to wait in line for long, and the transaction had no errors.

I'm regularly coming in for a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, mayo on rye bread and they make it just the way I ask them because I'm fussy like that.

I truly appreciate that they have high-quality fresh produce, excellent meats, pantry staples, a quality selection of crackers and cookies, Bread Works bread, and the best local ice creams. But they also have ready to bake hors d'oeuvres and fancy little tidbits for a last-minute party. I don't know what our neighborhood would do without them.

I miss this place now and whenever I'm around I am very tempted to get a sandwich. They really do it right here, this is one of the best in the city. They have a great menu selection for recommendations. Everything is made to order so you can add or subtract almost anything you can think of to your sandwich. The selection of groceries and deli offerings are always fresh. The have the Boar's Head brand of deli meats and cheeses, great selection. If you dive into the grocery selection you'll find a lot of special things there, fresh, frozen and dry: Meats, cheeses/dairy, breads, snacks, condiments, baking items, beverages... Some interesting vegan options are here too. This is a very curated and enjoyable market. Shopping here got my household through some hard times during the pandemic. I can't say enough good things, if you are ever in the area you should stop in and check it out.

    We moved to the area around 1 month ago. It was a tough month: Snowmageddon, below zero temps, etc…read more We finally had a good day and we decided to make a trip; we walked the 1 mile trip and found it to be well stocked. We ended up buying some frozen items so I picked up one of their freezer bags. We bought their Orange Chicken, some Ravioli, etc. Their freezer bag is great as we stopped by a pub and had lunch. Service at Trader Joe's is, always, impeccable; we will be back.

    I've become more and more of Trader Joe's fan over the last few years - I love their grocery…read moreoptions and I think their prices are generally reasonable (and depending on the item, are even the most affordable prices!). Since I'm out in East Liberty once a week for work, I'm currently shopping at this Trader Joe's semi-regularly. It shares a large parking lot with other businesses, so parking itself isn't hard to find. Unfortunately other drivers are obsessed with parking as close to the doors as possible so there's always some traffic as they circle that section of the lot. I always try to get away from that circus as fast as possible! The store itself is nice, and it feels bigger or at least better organized than the one in the South Hills. So the foot traffic always seems to move efficiently as shoppers grab what they need. Speaking of shopping, I probably don't need to talk up Trader Joe's options too much at this point. We all know about and have our favorite seasonal deals and products (I admittedly go nuts when the pumpkin flavored goodies hit the shelves!). Their frozen offerings are also pretty good, which I especially appreciate when I'm too busy or tired to cook. My actual favorite item is their low calorie/low carb/high fiber wrap. I use these for at least one meal of mine daily because they're tasty and nutritious! And of course, the staff are always great - Trader Joe's has the best training for their team, hands down. I always leave with a smile on my face thanks to the chit chats we have during checkout. And with that, I'll wrap up my review by taking a drink of my Trader Joe's sparkling water - yum!
