Middle Eastern Food in Downtown Pittsburgh

“Excellent food — delicious and fresh. We loved the chicken adana kabobs and the cold appetizer platter. And the homemade bread is excellent! Staff was friendly and helpful too. This is where we bring all of our guests in Pittsburgh!”

“My mom and I stopped here for dinner before a concert and had a great experience! We started with the Turkish tea which was delicious and served in the most beautiful cups ever! We then got some babaganoush and hummus which were both delicious and had a nice serving size. I had the lamb Adana kebab for dinner and was so impressed with the portion and quality of the food - there will definitely be leftovers! Overall, had a great experience and can’t wait to come back.”

“Salads were very fresh and flavorful. We had babaganoush, tabbouli and hummus --- all delicious with warm pita bread. We had lamb, chicken, falafel on a family style platter --- all very authentic flavors and so so good. The staff was so engaging, friendly and efficient. We were pampered and well fed.”

“Everything we ordered was outstanding. The Taboulleh was crisp and fresh, the Chef Borek perfectly flaky, and the Shrimp Saute with Lemon Sauce was bright and flavorful. The rice pilav was the ideal pairing. The Seafood Ravioli with Shrimp was rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being heavy. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. You can tell every dish is made with care. Highly recommend Alihan’s for anyone who loves fresh Mediterranean food done right.”

“We enjoyed a lovely dinner here while staying at the Renaissance hotel. The food was incredible, the waitstaff kind and attentive and the portions were generous enough to share. I highly recommend the appetizer platter so you can try all the amazing dips (and marvel at the delicious Turkish bread). We ordered the lamb kebab, doner kebab and falafel plate and shared it all. Will definitely go back next time we are in Pittsburgh!”

“I don’t usually leave 5 star review unless they truly deserve 5 stars and this place does. They offer fantastic food. I ordered Adana kebab (ground lamb with spices and red pepper) and chicken kebab (pieces of chicken breast marinated and grilled) and they both were amazing! I followed with tea, Turkish coffee, and baklava. Baklava was freshly made and tea was done and brewed right 👌 customer service is excellent, front lady very smiley, welcoming, and honest. I wish everyone appreciates what they offer.”

“Tasty Turkish food. We had delicious Cold Mezze, Chicken and Lamb Adana / Kofyer Kebabs. Nice ambience.”

“This was our first time at this restaurant. We will definitely go back. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Our server was very helpful and friendly and we got to the theater in plenty of time. Chicken Shish Kebab Lamb Shish Kebab Mediterranean Salad Very nice atmosphere also.”

“Great salads, Turkish falafel, and kebabs, particularly great wait staff who know the menu backwards, and quick service! Zero complaints and we made it to our show on time. Thanks!!!”

“We had an exceptional meal on 2/3. The cuisine used all fresh ingredients and was full of flavor. We tried the specialty dinner Iskender Kebab, lentil soup called Mercimek Chorba and an order of mini falafel. Everything was delicious. We finished off our meal with Turkish coffee that is now a new favorite of ours and some rice pudding and tiramisu. Would highly recommend if you are in Pittsburgh. Our server was very attentive and kind. We were traveling with our 2 year old and she was in love with the fresh Turkish bread.”

“Legit Middle Eastern food. If you like hummus you have to try it”
