We came here for a birthday celebration- they are part of the Big Burritto corp ... of which - we have always had a great meal/experience. This was our first time at the restaurant! Street parking .. we got lucky with one right out front. We did have reservations and got seated right away- make reservations if you plan on going! It is quite a busy restaurant... We sat down and were greeted rather quickly. Places drink order and apps. The brought us sourdough bread with two different butters. Personally I liked the regular butter with sea salt. Apps came out - falafels and red pepper hummus with pita ( man that was good)! I opted for the swordfish, my sister got the halibut (should have went with that because it looked fantastic)... even the salmon looked fantastic - all the food was delicious! I would def go back again ... and look forwarded to doing so! read more

We stopped by for lunch on Monday and there only a handful of other parties in the restaurant. They seated us immediately. There's not a lot of places that are open for lunch on a Monday so I'm glad Casbah does lunch! Our server was lovely and asked us if we wanted a second bread basket. The pastas we got were good and my ricotta cavatelli was a generous size. We split a dessert because it looked so good! read more

Casbah was a great find and amazing WIN! Do not sleep on this one!!! We went for lunch, on my wife's birthday. She had the best Cosmo she ever had. I had a Black and Gold Rush, that was a bourbon special, celebrating the Steelers, during the 2026 draft. For lunch my wife had beautifully seared scallops. I had the most wonderful cheese board!!!! Wow! Then we both ordered the red wine flight. All 3 wines were spectacular and generous pours. Please ask for Sam to serve you. She was so sweet and attentive. We sat outside and loved the vibe, but indoors looked beautiful too! read more

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.) read more

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! read more

Nestled on what I would consider restaurant row in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh lies Casbah, a truly magnificent gem of Mediterranean cuisine!! Upon entering we were whisked past a large tent of small one to one romantic tables downstairs to a gorgeous wine cellar grotto with large rounded booths for fine dining, camaraderie, and collusion!! Brandon, our guide for this evenings feasting was also a bartender, so be it food or drink, we were covered!!! The Moroccan Spiced Mint Tulip was an excellent drink starter, strong and refreshing!! Around the table were a House Gin & Tonic, a Moscow Mule, and a Sparkling Cosmo for the lady of our group. All were simply smashing! Staunching the powers of these drinks were a trio of delicious appetizers. Shredded Elysian Lamb with warmed cherry tomatoes served with freshly made flat bread. It was like having a taste of comforting warm stew. The lightly batter kissed shrimp and calamari were perfectly paired with a very tasty lemon aioli dipping sauce. Closing out the trio was a dish of veal & pork meatballs in a wonderful tomato garlic sauce!! Quite happy but wanting more, Brandon moved us on to the main event. I opted for a flight of old world red wines to carry me through the rest of my dinner journey, each different yet complimentary in their own right. I chose the Lobster and Pappardelli for my entree. Quite astounded finding so many large chunks of savory lobster under every noodle. The sauce was garlic and oil based colored decadently with Sun Dried Tomatoes! Other fantastic dishes that graced our table included Short Rib Ravioli with a mushroom and shallot sauce that was transcendent not to mention the generous amount of ravioli. My eldest had a double thick pork chop served over prosciutto risotto. He left only the bone on the plate. The lady had a roasted half chicken served with crispy potatoes, carrots and mushrooms delicately coated with a fresh thyme jus.. In a word, Extraordinary!!! Happily sated with the soft low light ambiance, robust drinks, and belly warming food we were now ready to be put out of our sweet misery with dessert!! A small glass of Amaro, warm and herbaceous, accompanied my first ever carrot lava cake. The perfect spiced note to end a meal with. Also enjoyed were the Creme Brulee as well as the Raspberry & Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding!! Casbah truly shattered all expectations in service, atmosphere, and exquisite cuisine. An exotic and amazing place where perhaps the only sin would be not to come and visit!!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

We were celebrating our son's engagement and Casbah was the right pick. Great atmosphere in the cozy downstairs dining room. Zoe was super helpful and accommodating in helping us with some great choices. The filet, pork chop, orechetti and meatballs were delicious as were the kale salads. Cocktails were great, too. Too full to order dessert but heard they're good, too. Valet parking made it very easy. read more

Casbah used to be great, but it's slipped. We were there several times a year but took a break for a while after some mid meals. Back last weekend, server took the butter and labneh away when I still had a piece of bread on my plate, noticed he did on his way away from the table (because I said "welp, I guess no butter for me") paused, and kept walking. Never brought it back. One of our apps was cold. They re-fired it while we both shared the other one. Not a huge deal, but then my entree was cold (my partner's was hot.) I took a few bites but room-temp pork and risotto isn't super appealing. His lasagne was delicious. They did take the pork off of the check. I just feel like a restaurant of this caliber that's been open this long with a mostly fixed menu should run like clockwork. read more

We have been coming here for 25 years. One of our group maintains: "still my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh." The kitchen has never failed to render the menu perfectly whether it be dinner or brunch. Front of house team is relentlessly gracious and always knows the menu and kitchen well. The double-cut pork chop with risotto is considered by the restaurant to be a "signature dish." It is well worth your time. Very highly recommended. We return again and again for a reason. read more

It was a throw back to finer dining times of 70s/80s. Nice decor and large comfortable interior well designed. The staff were attentive professional and very nice. The food was unique, well prepared, generously proportioned and very tasty. A unique and thoughtful menu. Really enjoyed it here for a night out in Pittsburgh. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Casbah - The spread. - Greek Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Casbah for dinner. We each ordered a spread to cover all 3. - Hummus: Good hummus and consistency what I would expect - Baba Ghanoush: It was ok, a little bland and a tad bit chunky - Red Pepper Muhummara: By far the best of the three. Good flavor, spice and consistency The spreads were served with a chickpea pita. The pita was such a treat. Also went with the summer salad prior to the entree. It was soo good, the acid from the vinaigrette paired with the sweet cherries, granola in such a great way. Our server recommended the roasted half chicken. I don't usually order chicken at a restaurant but I rolled with it. I am glad I did. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp skin while being moist on the interior. The flavors from the thyme jus mixed in with the potatoes, carrots and squash made this a great choice. We skipped dessert because of the great courses that we had. read more

Ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. Airy outdoor, but not outdoor vibe. Service was amazing, our server was excellent. Food left a lot to be desired. I had pasta and scallops. It was bland and flavorless. I ordered 2 cocktails and they were not good. Also, seems like an elderly person hangout. Walkers, wheelchairs, scooters everywhere lol Would have loved it if the food was good, but it was not. read more

Wonderful brunch experience at Casbah. The service is fantastic. Our server, Gale, was excellent and answered all of our questions. He also made some great recommendations, as I was between two entrees. The complimentary pastries are amazing. My smoked salmon first course was delicious (and huge). My steak and eggs were excellent - the spinach that came with it tasted great. Price is great too considering you also get a cocktail. My mimosa was great. I would absolutely love to come again next time I'm in Pittsburgh. read more

I recently visited Casbah for their annual Festa di Pasta: Tomato & Corn. It was busy at 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, so I'm glad we made a reservation! We started with wine and the calamari and rock shrimp appetizer. It was delicious and a large portion with an amazing lemon aioli and some sort of sweet and sour sauce? Highly recommend. I ordered the Crab Linguine and my friend ordered the Street Corn Lasagna. She loved the lasagna, but I wasn't crazy about the linguine. It was definitely super fresh, but not too much flavor beyond the sweet corn and buttery sauce. It took a bit longer than expected to get our entrees, but the beautiful patio made up for it. It feels very open, but still closed from weather and they have a lot of nice plants and artwork that liven up the space. We skipped dessert, but they offer their homemade caramels with the bill -- delicious! read more

All around, great food and great service. We tried the three spreads and they were excellent. Especially the red pepper one- it was bright orangey with a nice Smokey flavor to it. The tartar was good quality and combined with the toasted bread, creme fresh and some caviar. It was. A blend of crunchy texture and salty flavor. To add, the calamari was the best I've had. It was different from the other ones I've eaten. The pieces were very tender and more salted under neath the fried crust. As my main course, I had the pork chops and it was nicely cooked as I expected from a fine dining restaurant. Once thing that I didn't enjoy was the lemon cream on creme brûlée. I ate around it because I found it too intense. We sat outside but under a tent on a nice day. But what could've been better was the ambiance. The tent because of the wind and the birds would, from time to time, make creaky noises that caught us all by surprise. Otherwise, it was a great time for me and my friends read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Wait staff pleasant. Pacing of meal was great. Cocktails and food were fresh tasting and flavorful. Had a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. The Mixed Italian Olive were alright, but no flavors really stood out. It was nice to try a variety of olives though. The Hummus with Chickpea flatfbread was amazing, and would definitely order again. read more

After hearing praise about this spot for the last year or so, I finally ventured over to Casbah for my birthday dinner with 2 of my bestie gals. It was absolutely phenomenal and worth all the hype. The service is great. The space is classy, beautiful, and intimate. The food is spectacular. I had the duck and it was to die for! The best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy skin and juicy duck meat. I've been dreaming of it and need to get back here ASAP & also try their brunch. For the appetizers we had 3- calamari & shrimp, the meatballs, and the crabcakes. All were amazing. Paired my meal with a red wine flight and it was magic! You need to try this spot for yourself read more

The food was quite good (4/5). Of the appetizers we ordered, the grilled artichokes were my favorite, followed by the calamari and shrimp. I had the lamb shank, which was massive! It was way more food than I was anticipating and good; the quantity definitely helps justify the price point. I also had a bite of the duck, which was also good. The service was incredible (5/5), and the interior and vibe of the restaurant were also amazing (5/5). read more

I was visiting the town of my birth - I was born a few blocks away from the restaurant - and we went to Casbah Saturday night. We had some delicious bread with labneh, doused with olive oil. It was very tasty but I couldn't quite get the taste of the olive oil, so I asked for a separate dish. It was excellent olive oil - spicy and just peppery enough! I started off with the Veal and Pork meatballs with crispy Brussel sprouts. The meatballs were seasoned so tastefully, and were tender with a great consistency. The crispy Brussel sprouts were unusual but complimented the meatballs very well. I ordered the Short Rib Ravioli. I had the dish in NYC last month and the pasta was too 'Al dente' - I had to chew it more than the short rib inside! I asked our server about the consistency of these raviolis, he said they were very tender. He was correct. The pasta was cooked perfectly and there was a generous portion of savory, tender short rib in each ravioli. However, this dish was different in that he sauce wasn't a Brown Butter, or Red, or Carbonara. It was a deep, rich beef broth - it reminded me of the gravy from my Mother's brisket. The raviolis had quickly absorbed the broth and were a darker color, and as juicy as you could imagine! It was a different spin on a dish I've had several times, but it was excellent. read more

I will be leaving Pittsburgh on Sunday, so I had a dinner with my Italian family in this elegant restaurant. We shared different types of food: baba ghanoush, grilled artichoke, Tuna Tartare, mafaldine with pesto and short rib ravioli. My favorite dishes are tuna tartare (the toast is crunchy and the tuna is fresh) and pesto mafaldine (pasta is al dente and the sauce smells good). A man can be never more exhilarated to be around with his new family in a foreign city! ​I will never forget these blissful moments from my dearest family with their best blessing! read more

We ate at Casbah this past Saturday and can't say enough about the food and service. I would highly suggest requesting seating in the wine cellar and ask for TJ to be your server. Not only was he professional and polite but TJ was very personable and treated our table like we were the only ones in the restaurant. He made the meal truly special. The food was extremely well prepared, and the flavors were exactly what we were hoping; none of the dishes disappointed. We had the duck, lamb shank and the risotto dishes. The lamb literally fell off the bone when I picked it up. The duck was prepared perfectly, and though I did not taste the risotto it was very much enjoyed. The meal was delicious, and the experience was perfect for the birthday occasion which led us there. read more

What a lovely dining experience. The service was not well paced and not intrusive. Food was excellent. My pictures didn't turn out well as it was a little dark. On to the food!! Starters included the cheese sampler, olives and calamari. All delicious-I'm not a calamari fan in general but friends felt it was not crispy. Mains included lobster pappardelle, mussels, ricotta pasta - all yummy. It was hard to decide what we were going to order. The whole menu sounded delicious. We did order the flourless chocolate cake for dessert which we didn't feel hit the mark. It was a little dry. All in all a great experience. Would definitely return! read more

Casbah is an all time favorite. I've come here numerous times and they never disappoint. Service is spectacular and friendly, always knowing the right foods and cocktails to recommend. This is the perfect place to drop by when you're spontaneously in the mood for fine dining. They have a huge restaurant so walk ins are usually available. They are also in a great location with lots of street parking and lots nearby. [Burrata] [Tuna Tartare] are my favorite appetizers. Their Burrata and tuna tartare portion size is huge (esp the Burrata) leaving us feeling pretty full before the entree. I've also enjoyed the sea scallops, calamari, and octopus. Nothing that left a deep impression but still pretty good. [Long Island Duck] is my favorite entree on their menu and I think it's the best duck I've had in town. It's grilled to perfection with a soft center. Scottish salmon is also pretty good. I like how their entrees have a slight Mediterranean touch to it, which I feel like makes these classic entrees more interesting. I don't usually get their pasta so I don't remember it that much. Dessert menu changes up every now and then but each one I've had is delicious. I vaguely recall a lemon cake a while back that blew me away. Drinks are also great. Hoping to come back for their brunch next time. read more
