On a cold Pittsburgh day, if you're looking for something to eat that feels like a warm hug, this…read moreis that place. Kavsar is a family-owned restaurant that feels like a hidden local gem and a great escape if you want to try something new. This was my first time having Uzbek food and I really enjoyed it. I ordered the Lagman with beef, Samsa beef, the Kavsar boat with chicken, and a bottle of water. It was definitely a lot of food for one person, but I wanted to try a little of everything and I'm glad I did. Everything tasted fresh, hearty, and homemade. One tip: don't get too full on the main dishes. Save room for the Honey Cake for dessert. It's absolutely worth it and something you don't want to miss. If you're in Pittsburgh and want a cozy spot with great food and welcoming vibes, Kavsar is a fantastic place to check out.

Nice street, interesting area, I don't often frequent but will return if the opportunity presents itself .. everything deserves a taste! Come back. Also, they support their community, so support them! Doesn't have a lot of tables, so if it's busy you may have to wait. Don't expect alcohol in a place like this.

I recommend one line of the red sauce if you don't want alot of spice. The wings were sweet chili and Chipotle BBQ which were delicious and just the right amount of spice. 1 order of fries is enough for two people to share. I love this place and I will come again. Cons: Bathroom and general eating area needs cleaned.

*WOULD RECOMMEND* If…read moreyou want something fast, good, and cheap, this is the perfect place. Halal Pitt is a new food cart on Pitts campus and their food is soooo cheap, at most $8 for a platter and that includes drinks. With the platter you get your protein (chicken, falafel, lamb) , rice, and lettuce. You MUST get their white sauce with hot sauce, it is a great on top of everything. Flavor wise, the meats are all well seasoned and the rice is flavorful too. For the price you pay, it definitely fills you up. Plus, there's no other Mediterranean food place on campus so this is perfect for when you crave this type of food. *VERDICT* Totally would go anytime

Lots of nice places nearby to sit outside on a warm day. Based on a customer I overheard on a recent visit, they also offer order-ahead if you're in a hurry. Their shawarma wraps are just the right size for lunch (and also under $10). They offer several sides; I've tried the hummus (not too salty, like many hummuses, but a touch bland) and grape leaf wraps (large portion). One time I upgraded my wrap to a platter with rice and pita and it was way too much food (a mountain of rice). I've seen their platters with fries instead of rice and they are also ginormous due to the mountain of fries.

Food:5/5 Before…read moreHanadi, most Mediterranean restaurants tasted pretty similar to me--similar herbs, spices, and sauces. I realized, I was definitely missing out. Though the wait was long (1hr on a busy Sunday), the food came out piping hot. Each dish was flavorful. The chicken shawarma was juicy, and had the right blend of spices and sauces without being overly heavy or soggy. The rice was simple side, but had nutty buttery taste profile complimented by the parsley garnish. And the friend cauliflower reminded me a bit of Indian Dahi Wada in flavor, but was piping hot and crispy. Now Hanadi's is my standard for good Mediterranean food Reasonably priced, fair portions, and good quality ingredients. Service: 3/10 Self order, food came out 1 hour late, but worth the wait. Ambiance: 3/10 Don't go for the ambiance, it looks like a humble family restaurant. But makes up for the interior with the quality of food. It was clean and tidy,
