Food:5/5 Before Hanadi, 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, read more

Consistently excellent. Over the past couple of years they have been expanding their menu. They have a nice dine in space with 3 booths and 4 tables. They also do a big take-out business. The owner is always friendly and helpful. Their Baba Ghanoush, Tabouli, and Hummous are always outstanding. The Lentil Soup is delicious, subtle and surprising. Very convenient location on McKnight Road, although it's on the Southern end of the business strip. Lots of free parking. read more

Hanadi's Mediterranean Food - Mixed plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very quiet establishment. Probably seats 20 people. I was doing takeout. It is in the strip mall by Big Lots across from Red Lobster. Ordered tabouli, fatoosh salad, stuffed grape leaves, & fried cauliflower. The cauliflower seems like Mediterranean version of Buffalo cauliflower. Enjoyed the grape leaves and very fresh tabouli and fatoosh salads. Lots of parking. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

This is such a great Mediterranean place on McKnight. Every time we come here the food is always spot on. It's like a home cooked Mediterranean meal! I got a cauliflower roll and it was delicious. No matter what you order it's going to be good. The family that runs it is very nice too! read more

Great place for dine-in or takeout. Very plain decor, but the food is far from plain! We were greeted and seated when we walked in. Many variations of shawarma and kebab with rice, hummus, etc. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer, beef shawarma plate, and hummus beef shawarma plate. Everything was very delicious and flavorful. The beef was incredibly tender with no toughness. Hummus had a smooth texture. Came with pita and a plate of pickles. Would definitely come here again. read more

Small seating area. Good menu. My food was fine. I liked the yogurt sauce. Only two kids meals: beef or chicken tenders with either side of rice or fries. But kids like it. Service is casual. Cauliflower app was tasty. read more

The food here is always delicious. I'm usually a chicken guy but the beef shawarma rice plate is where it's at. You also need the hummus though. It's very creamy and smack your lips delicious. The people who work here are all very nice and accommodative. Very friendly. The place is always very clean. Highly recommend. Definitely one of our favorites in the area. read more

A great little find. We all enjoyed our food and it's obvious it's freshly made. We would have driven right by, but the reviews had us intrigued. So glad we stopped! read more

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. This place is a family owned small business. You can tell they make their food with love. My friend ordered the chicken mix plate and I ordered the chicken hummus plate. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was great! I'm so glad we stopped in here. I'll definitely come here for my Mediterranean food fix! read more

Hanadi's is a restaurant that serves Mediterranean foods such as grape leaves, tabouli, chicken shawarma, lamb kebab, and baklava. Prices are reasonable. For lunch, I ordered Hanadi's food through a delivery service. Here are my ratings for these foods: Baba gannouj - 4 stars - This appetizer contained eggplant, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice, and it was accompanied with a couple pieces of thin pita bread. Hummus falafel roll - 3 stars - This wrap contained falafel, hummus, greens, tomatoes, turnips, pickles, and parsley. I probably should have ordered the falafel and hummus separately, because I ended up picking out the falafel to eat. Side of rice - 4.5 stars - This rice was cooked perfectly, and it contained flavorful almonds and pine nuts. Fattoush salad - 4 stars - The ingredients were fresh and included romaine lettuce, herbs, lemon juice, fattoush dressing, and crispy pita chips. read more

Nice little Mediterranean place at the beginning of McKnight. Get your grub on before running some errands. We visited on a Sunday afternoon around 2PM. You order at the counter and can dine in, but they don't really wait on you. Basic menu but still enough options to choose from. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer, shish tawook roll, and beef shwarma plate. Tons of flavor in everything! The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was very tasty. The meat was flavorful and tender in both entrees. The fries were very peppered and not my favorite, but still good nonetheless. The cauliflower was fantastic and I highly recommend. Overall not a bad stop. I wish they had some yogurt or mango smoothie options. They do have a refrigerator with bottled drinks if you want something to-go, but they also have fountain drinks. read more

Quick seating at Saturday lunch. Ordered and paid for food right away. Unfortunately the food took a very long time to be served so we were really hungry. The bowl of lentil soup was nice and hot in temperature. Fries are yummy. Beef shawarma has a lot of flavor. Cauliflower side dish is also good. The kids meal chicken tenders are grilled and not breaded. They were flavorful and a bit dry so my daughter didn't eat much of it. Serve your own drinks apparently. read more

Tried the new Hanadi's on McKnight Rd. If you love Mediterranean Food, you must try it. You can eat in and order or do takeout. The meat is so tender and flavorful. The flavor of the beef schwarma hits you on your first bite. Wow! My husband loved his tawaook (chicken) and rice. It was also very moist, tender and flavorful. The rice was all kinds of buttery goodness. Check them out. The two gentlemen were very nice and provided great service. read more

The BEST Mediterranean food in the Pittsburgh region is here...guaranteed! Ayman Hanadi's new location in the North Hills on McKnight Road is worth a drive from anywhere. Recently relocated from Forest Hills (to our great sadness here), his new location offers comfortable seating in a very clean and well laid out restaurant. The food - exceptional! Everything is delicious, from the appetizers to the entrées. Try the best tabouli salad around, the cauliflower (my son loves it!), some shawarma (to die for!), kabob plate (yum!), chicken mix plate, their wraps...try anything and you will love it! Ooohhh...save room for some great baklava, or take some home to savor that sweetness later! Seriously folks...eat here! You are going to LOVE their food! read more

Solid lunch at Hanadi's yesterday. Was in the area and did a lunch "near me" search. This fairly small place is tucked away in an old strip shopping center. Super casual. It looked like the kind of place where you'd order from the counter, but the guy who came out of the back asked us to be seated & handed us menus. Husband & I grabbed a booth. No one else was in the restaurant. I got the chicken shawarma "rolled" - which was basically a pita wrap. The chicken was good, tho I have never had pickles in a shawarma. Little odd but not bad. Husband had the shish tawook "rolled" - same drill. Very similar dishes. We also got the baba gannouj which was very good - creamy & flavorful. If we're in the area, we'd go back. read more

Hanadi's Mediterranean Food - While the food is good they gave me this munchkin miniman size ccup of sauce for all this damn food....RIDICULOUS for $28 - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Absolutely delicious wrap! Everything from this place seems so fresh and tasty. The menu is a bit limited, but it looks like they nail everything they have, which is great. I tried the chicken shawarma Mediterranean roll. It was incredibly good! The chicken was delicate and soft. Not too spicy. There was a great sauce accompanying it. Super garlicky and tasty! The pickles were nice and fresh. The roll itself was pretty good too, not just a standard white tortilla. Nice grill on it for extra crunchiness. Good portion and reasonable price. All in all, this is a great little place. Very nice Mediterranean food options when there aren't that many in the area. I highly recommend the wraps and chicken shawarma! read more

We ate inside. It is friendly. It is a popular take out place. Food was good, but not outstanding.

I'm addicted. All of the food is so fresh and delicious with bursting flavor and stellar service. I've eaten many Grape Leaf rolls, and these are among my favorite! They've got a touch of spice, and a warm, savory flavor. I'll always keep coming back for more! read more

I just found this little gem! REALLY good hummus and they have the brick oven to make that awesome bread that you don't find often! Chicken shawarma was excellent as well! I will definitely go back! Yummy read more

The food smelled like feet!!! Unfortunately it tasted worse. I think maybe tge opened up "baby diapers" and put it on a plate. OMG, this place should be shut down read more

THE best Middle Eastern restaurant in the North Hills -- and beyond. Everything is SO fresh and you can watch your meal being prepared if you want to. Family owned and lovely people. We go there several times a month or get takeout. We've been eating Middle Eastern food for over 50 years around the east end of the city - so we are very familiar and particular - we know quality and Hanadi's is quality! If you have any special needs or requests, they are accomodating. Ex: I took my own large salad bowl when I ordered 2 salads to take to a potluck, when I kind of wanted to imply that my contribution wasn't from a restaurant! But I ended up confessing because so many people commented on how good "my" salad was! ;-) read more

Had the chicken shawarma roll here and it was one of the of the best I had around Pittsburgh. The flavor was bursting with spices with a good ratio of pickled vegetables. I did a take out but there are a few tables available. I will be coming back and trying out their other dishes. read more

Absolutely outstanding. Excellent service, family run, and such wonderful people. This is real food, the good stuff you can't get anywhere else. I tell everyone I can about Hanadi's. This is my first ever review - they've made me do it. We are incredibly fortunate and blessed to have them here in Pittsburgh. I have now tried just about everything and there is so much on the menu. I can only max out my adjectives. Unbelievable falafel and kibbeh. You'd do well to start there. I am normally a meat lover and was amazed at the flavor and texture of the falafel my wife ordered. We have to get some every time we come. Grape leaves, baba ghanoush, and hummus are top tier as well. read more

Delicious, fresh ingredients! Quick service, reasonably priced, and very flavorful food. Hummus was creamy and paired well with the veggies. Tabbouleh salad was fresh, crisp with a punchy lemony dressing. Both the lamb and chicken shawarma were juicy, well seasoned and had great sauces with them. Only complaint is I wish the hot sauce was hotter! read more

I'm still eating while at the restaurant, but have to post a review since it's so good. I had a falafel roll but I think it's some other type of meat?? It tastes so good, I don't mind. The wife had a chicken swarms roll. The sauce was so good - I snuck in a bite. Baba ganoush on the side makes for a nice filling lunch. I highly recommend this newly opened spot in the North Hills. read more

This is a small restaurant with about 5-6 tables. It has the air of a take-out, which I am sure is a big part of their business. Simply put, the food was excellent. We had their kebabs K kibbeh. The lamb kebabs were soft , juicy and very flavorful. The kibbeh was a flavorful delight as well. Would definitely go back there. read more

Wow. This was some of the most flavorful food I've ever had. I got the kebab plate and cauliflower appetizer. The kebabs were tender and seasoned to perfection. As soon as I got my plate of food I smelled the warm spice on the rice and the added nuts provided the perfect crunch. THE CAULIFLOWER WAS AMAZING . It was coated in spices and the sauces on top were a perfect complement. I can't wait to go back. read more
