Sittay's Mediterranean Kitchen -- Greensburg, PA An Unassuming Jewel with Soul, Spice, and Serious Flavor I went into Sittay's Mediterranean Kitchen in Greensburg with my family for a casual lunch, and from the outside, this very clean, modest, and unassuming little restaurant doesn't try to shout for attention. But once you step inside, you feel it -- you know there is care here. And once the food arrives, there is absolutely no doubt about it: this place is something special. We started with the appetizer platter, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the best I've ever had. The grape leaves were perfection -- tender, delicate, and layered with flavor. No bitterness, no heaviness, just beautifully seasoned, comforting bites that tasted like they were made with tradition and love. Then came the falafel, which truly shocked me. I've never been a huge fan of falafel because it's usually dry, dense, and in desperate need of drowning in sauce just to get it down. Not here. These were moist, tender, and overflowing with flavor. Honestly -- the best falafel I have ever had. The entire platter was so fresh, so vibrant, and so alive that my entire family kept going back for "just one more bite"... and then one more again. Next up were the pita wraps, and my gyro was an absolute work of art. Overflowing with perfectly seasoned meat and tucked into soft, warm pita, it was generously filled to the brim -- no skimping here. It makes perfect sense why they charge a small sharing fee because one could easily be split between two people. That said, I strongly recommend getting your own... and then taking half home for later (if you have the willpower). My sister ordered the sleek with shrimp, and WOW. I'm typically not a fan of sautéed greens -- it's usually a texture thing for me -- but this completely changed my mind. The shrimp were tender and perfectly cooked, and the greens were flavorful, balanced, and beautifully seasoned. Even as a self-proclaimed non-fan, I was blown away. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the heart behind the counter. The ladies in the kitchen were clearly cooking with love and pride. You can taste the tradition in every bite. Our server was a bit quiet at first, but she quickly warmed up, became very helpful, and offered a recommendation that turned out to be one of the highlights of the entire meal: the seasonal Pumpkin Mamonia. Now let me explain what mamonia is for those who don't know -- because this dessert deserves its moment. Mamonia is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert, similar to a semolina pudding. It's warm, creamy, gently sweet, and infused with spices and aromatic notes like cinnamon and nutmeg. The pumpkin version at Sittay's takes this already-comforting dish and turns it into a fall masterpiece -- velvety, lightly spiced, and incredibly comforting without being overly sweet. It was, in my book, a home run... or the Mediterranean equivalent of one. Unique, cozy, elegant, and absolutely unforgettable. If it's on the menu, do not skip it. As for the baklava, the flavor was tremendous. For anyone unfamiliar, baklava is made of delicate layers of flaky phyllo dough, filled with chopped nuts (often pistachios or walnuts), then finished with a fragrant honey or sugar syrup. It's crisp on top, sticky-sweet inside, and the perfect finale to a Mediterranean meal. My only small surprise was the portion size; for $7, the piece felt a bit smaller compared to how generous everything else was throughout the lunch. That said, the seasonal baklava was divine in flavor -- rich, fragrant, and beautifully made. At the moment, Sittay's does not offer cocktails or wine. There is a tap house next door, but beer wasn't what appealed to my family that day. A simple white wine -- perhaps a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc -- would be a lovely addition and a perfect complement to their vibrant Mediterranean dishes, especially for indulgent holiday lunches with family. All in all, Sittay's is a hidden gem in Greensburg -- one of those rare places where the food, the heart, and the hospitality come together effortlessly. Make the trip. Take the time. Try something new at Sittay's. You will NOT be sorry. read more

This review pains me as I enjoy food not common to this area. I am a foodie and enjoy trying new things. Don't get me wrong in what I'm about to say, the food was great! The service was good! The pricing was good ! My problem is , I discovered ants in my drink! Kinda takes your taste buds out of the game when your brain says you drank bugs! Brought this to our waitress attention and she gave me another glass of of soda , that I had no intention of drinking. So we pressed on as the food was good. The waitress brought a sky tab for payment and brought more ants to the table. I called the waitress over and she apologized and took this to the owner or manager and came back to us with offering free baklava! The person in charge couldn't be bothered to come and address the situation even as we were the only people in the restaurant. I won't ever go back, even though the food was good. After standing up, I noticed VEVO insect lights plugged into every outlet around the dining room. So they know they have issues , Apparently Mediterraneans don't have people skills! Sorry! Just my experience at a restaurant of a cuisine I tried for the first time today! I wouldn't have given a negative review if this issue was addressed better! I don't blame the waitress, I blame the person in charge! read more

Handsome husband and I stopped by Sittay's for the first time this past weekend. The food was DELICIOUS. Baba ganoush was excellent. Beef and lamb were both perfectly cooked and large portions. We got our food quickly. The server was excellent- she was willing to help guide us through the menu to help us accommodate a dairy allergy. We would definitely like to return! read more

A very small and inviting place that seems to be quite busy on a Friday night. We had a reservation and I'm glad we did! The service was great and the people that work there are very friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and I especially loved the appetizer platter with hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, etc. So fresh and delicious. I had the chicken kabob with rice pilaf and an amazing tzatziki sauce. My only complaint was the pita was a little cold and dry. I love a homemade, warm pita, so that was a miss for me, but this place offers some very much needed variety! Can't wait to go back and try more items. Oh and BYOB. Love being able to bring my own champagne or wine. read more

Fresh, clean, tasty, filling, authentic, homemade. These are the words that bubble up in my mind as I recall my one visit to Sittay's. A women-owned Syrian joint in Greensburg of all places. What a great experience, I cannot wait to get back and try out more of the menu, but from what I've already tried, the hummos, the baba ganooj, the spicey meats... all great. read more

Sittay's is always a worthwhile spot and I am so glad they're in our area. I am thrilled about the tallow they've been using, it's definitely a welcomed change in my opinion. I have never had anything I've disliked when I've visited and I've been here a few times. Do not sleep on the garlic sauce, ever. The potato mtafia with the sauce... you're welcome. One of my very favorite things is the sleek plate. They're always kind, prompt, you never feel rushed and it honestly kind of feels like you stepped right into their home kitchen to share a meal. Absolutely recommend this spot anytime you're close. read more

Sittay's never disappoints. I had the tabbouleh, hummus, and the lamb kebab, and everything was absolutely perfect. The lamb was incredibly fresh--honestly, so good that even the tzatziki (which was excellent) wasn't needed. The rice was seasoned just right, full of flavor without being overpowering. And as always, the hummus and tabbouleh were done to perfection. On top of the amazing food, the staff was warm, gracious, and attentive, and everything was served with great timing. A truly enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. read more

This was an unreal food experience! I have traveled extensively all over the US, including Hawaii. Tucked away in the humble town of Greensburg you will find a lovely lady in the kitchen cooking homemade food. The young ladies who were working for her as waitresses where on spot, they didn't miss a beat. I had the spanakopita and humus which was super filling and so tasty. My adult son is coming to visit me next month, and I will certainly bring him to Sittay's. This restaurant is not to be passed by!! They even won an award for best restaurant 2025. The dining room had a beautiful large window looking out to the street, and the room was warm and cozy on a chilly January evening. read more

Service was great. The restaurant is very nice. The food was okay. The chicken shawarma had a fantastic sauce, but the chicken itself was very fatty and chewy, which ruined the dish for us. We also ordered hummus, which was good. Not sure I would go again given the quality of the chicken. read more

Such a hidden gem! We split the app platter, and everything was fresh and tasty. Grape leaves and baba ganoush were standouts. I had the chicken wrap, with chicken kebab. Wrap was toasted, and again- so fresh. Will definitely make it a point to stop by next time I'm in the area! read more

Our third time to Sittay for a reason. Servers are friendly and helpful. Each time we are trying different menu items. Food is consistently delicious and homemade. Portions are good. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

For Mediterranean food in Westmoreland County this is the place to go. A great way to sample things is their Appetizer Platter. You get their baba ghanoush, falafel, tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves and my favorite, their hummus served with pitas. The waitress was super nice and the service was quick and efficient. You can save a little if you pay with cash versus a credit card, so keep that in mind. The decor is clean and bright and modern. Always one of my favorite spots in Greensburg! read more

Chose Sittay's based on other reviews. Every bite was amazing. Had the appetizer platter, spanakopita, a side salad, and gyro wrap (not pictured). Smoky baba ghanoush. Creamy hummus. The biggest grape leaves I've ever had, and amazing falafel. Service was FANTASTIC and the atmosphere was comfortable and clean. read more

Sittay's Mediterranean Kitchen - Appetizer platter, side salad and spanakopita. Everything was fantastic! - Mediterranean Near Me - Greensburg, Pennsylvania

To start off, walking in, we were greeted immediately! The restaurant was delightfully decorated and extremely clean including the restrooms. We were asked if it was our first visit, which we informed our server that is was, and she explained everything on the menu and even suggested few things. We had the appetizer platter, lamb kabob, chicken shawarma and pistachio baklava. Everything down to the flat bread was absolutely delicious. Only suggestion is to warm up the flat bread. The service was impeccable and you felt like you were visiting family! We will be frequent visitors for sure! read more

Great Mediterranean food. Service is stellar. Holly was our server and she excellent. Suggested the loubee and it was excellent. My brother lives in Greensburg and goes here all the time, so when I visit I will be back for sure. read more

Look no further for authentic Syrian cuisine! I was looking to find a place with good food who could handle a large and loud party of 10, and Sittay's answered the call! We chose to eat family style, getting 2 vegetarian and 2 protein platters, with some extra sides. These were great options to taste the whole menu, and was happy to see such vegetarian friendly and GF options as well! Tabouli and meat grape leaves were top favorites. My family raved about the hummus days after-rich & creamy with no grit like other hummus. In house garlic aioli is also a must. As Greeks, we know how good food should taste, and appreciated the authenticity of flavor in every dish-especially the tzatziki. Great atmosphere for any gathering or a quick bite on the go. Whichever route you choose, Sittay's Mediterranean Kitchen will surely have you coming back for more. Surely we will be ! read more

Fresh delicious food. Tried the appetizer platter, and the Baba Ganoush was my favorite. I agree with other reviews that I wish the pita was softer and served warm, but everything else was terrific. The waitress recommended the potatoes for something warm, and they were so bright & tasty! Took a bunch of leftovers home, and ate the yummy, delicate, drippy and crunchy pistachio baklava. Service was fairly prompt and friendly. Ambiance was upscale casual in an open dining room. Mmmm read more

I don't live in Greensburg but it seems like this is the only Mediterranean restaurant in the area. My brother and his fiancee had never tried this type of food before, so we all went here for dinner one night. I have had this type of food myself quite a few times in different places and although I do like it, it rarely blows me away. The food tends to be pretty standard. That said, Sittay's does cook everything well so you won't be disappointed. We shared an appetizer platter and I got a beef wrap. Brother loved what he ordered. They have a picture of Walter White in their kitchen which is pretty funny though. read more

We enjoyed our lunch but ordered way too much. The prices were low so we thought that the portions would be small. No problem! Delicious leftovers! read more

Not traditional Mediterranean AT ALL w how things are preapred, put together or how they tasted. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could just because it wasnt terrible necessarily. The food is ok but highly disappointing if you have a lot of experience with Mediterranean. The menu is very limited. We ordered the Gyro Wrap but they were out of gyro meat so we got a chicken wrap instead. Everything is way overpriced in my opinion, ESP the Baklava Pistachio. I'm glad we tried it out but definitely won't get food from here again. read more

Got so excited I almost forgot to take a picture. Beautiful and delicious. Husband got a chicken shawarma and had lots of chicken and he liked the way the bread was toasted. read more

The first time I went here it was great! Great service. Food tasted fresh and was delicious. The grape leaves were not oily and had good flavor. The hummus is delicious and fresh. The chicken I got was juicy with great flavor. Service was excellent. Went here a month ago and got the Kibbi and it was dry, cold, and not great. It was closer to the end of the night and I'm assuming they make It ahead of time and it sat out and they tried throwing it in a microwave for 30 seconds? Not sure. I will not be getting it again. It did come with tabouleh which was fine. Wasn't overly seasoned or too oily. Sometimes that can just be saturated with oil and it wasn't. That I would order again. Service was okay, but what happened? read more

This was my second visit and it was even better than the first! We ordered a little bit of everything and it was ALL delicious! Try the potatoes with the garlic sauce and the chicken with the hot sauce. read more

I get the grilled lamb with garlic sauce every time. So fresh and perfectly prepared. Grape leaves and hummus are solid.

Atmosphere is very pleasant although music needs to be turned down. Good crowd. Nice meal choices. Hubby had gyro wrap he says was good. I had beef kebab. Nicely grilled but a couple of pieces were not fully cooked. Rice had fresh toasted almonds so good! Tahini also very good. Delightful eatery I highly recommend coming! read more

I am no stranger to Mediterranean food and this place is a must try for authentic Mediterranean and Syrian dishes. Excellent and loved it!!

AMAZING!! My dad and I stopped in after i found Sittay's on here on Yelp. We had a perfect dining experiences. The dining room was very cute and clean, the service was great (our waitress was so kind and attentive), and the food may have been the best Syrian food I have ever had. It was all authentic. Everything was perfect: The grape leaves were kept moist in lemon oil and served warm. The hummus was impressive and so smooth. The Baba ghanouj had that smokey flavor that really makes baba. My dad had the kibi which was just to his liking. The tabouli was so fresh. Lastly, the spanakopita filling was to die for. Sittay's is a MUST stop if you are in the area... I would even make the hour trip just to dine here again. read more

Sittay's is a go to for fresh food with great Mediterranean flavors. The service is always good here. Lunch and dinner are equally tasty. I love lentils and the soup here is a meal by itself. I have taken friends here not familiar with Middle Eastern foods and they loved it. Very reasonable prices as well for freshly prepared. read more

I was so excited to learn this place popped up when I moved back home from out west. We've been here multiple times over the past year and it never disappoints! I know I can always come here and get FRESH, delicious food that doesn't make me feel like my mouth or stomach is heavy. It's also great for variety if you are vegan or carnivore as they have lots of options to accommodate even celiac friendly. Truly a gem in Greensburg and so happy we finally have tastier and healthier options than the bigger food chains. Always happy to support local businesses! read more

Today, I went to this establishment with my boyfriend, who swears by Mediterranean food. The second we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and were given a table to sit at. The restaurant is quaint but it is still spacious enough to not feel claustrophobic. It is also very clean and the has a modern look to it. The young waitress was very kind and attentive. She immediately brought us our drinks and took our orders. I had the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and it was delicious! Warm, crispy, fresh, with a bit of a tang. My boyfriend got the Chicken Kabob with pilaf rice and tahini sauce. He LOVED it! The rice was made to perfection. It was savory, hardy, and very flavorful! The grilled chicken was very juicy and the grill marks were top notch! This restaurant is best for lunch and dinner. It is very casual and the service is fast! Fair prices, great portions, and the food is fresh. I highly recommend. My boyfriend and I will definitely come back in the future! read more

The best babaganous ever- nice smoky flavor. Very good tabouleh. So good we ordered a large one. Everything was done well including the service- they were polite, efficient and hard working. My first time there but I would likely give a 5 to them after a couple of visits. I'd go back, I'd recommend it. I'll try to go again. Ambience was clean and modern. read more
