Went back here for a weekday takeout lunch during work, which is only a short walk away. Quick…read moreservice and no wait. I got the falafel rice bowl, which was ginormous. Left me not needing much food for the rest of the day! The falafels were very dense and yummy. The bowl had a bit of salad, hummus, and some chick peas mixed in. All tasty though I think they could stand to use a bit less of the orange sauce that covered much of the bowl. The shop is small with no seating, so it's best for takeout. Luckily it was a nice day and Schenley Plaza is not too far away. Make sure to ask for napkins, which they forgot for my lunch.

I got the Casablanca and hummus delivered. The Casablanca is one of my favorite pizzas (5/5)! It's…read moregot a very unique flavor; the almonds give it a nice crunch, the dates a touch of sweetness, and the Moroccan spicy pepper sauce a little kick. I got the 16 inch, which was massive, especially for the price. The hummus was good (4/5) but a little runny. The pita was great (4.5/5); it was nice and thick but still soft. Overall, the food was great! I am excited to try some of the other pizzas, kebabs, and other items! The food got here 45 minutes before it was supposed too, which was a little inconvenient but better than 45 minutes late. The driver was very nice and polite and let me know he dropped it off and asked what I wanted him to do since I was not home.

One of my favorite spots for lunch in Oakland, with a central location in Schenley Plaza. The line…read moreis never too long and the food is ready quickly. 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.

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.

Deceptive menu pics and descriptions + nothing Turkish here and it is unreasonably expensive for…read morewhat you get: --Unlike the menu claims, what they serve as Adana Kebab is NOT lamb + flavor was not remotely Turkish. Not authentic at all. -- What they call Turkish rice can't even be called decent rice -- Persian menu items however were good -- Lentil soup was a good soup but it was not an authentic lentil soup at all. Don't expect the traditional flavor -- Unlike the pics, salad mix in your Adana will arrive in a tiny, disposable clear plastic -- You will eat at tables covered with sticky, clear nylon table "cloths" -- Your water will be served in disposable plastic cups -- Your food will be served in acrylic-plastic cups, including the hot soup -- Now the value: Soup is $10, Adana is $22, Kobideh is $25, a cup of Cay / hot tea is $3.50 (almost all Persian/Turkish restaurants serve this as a complimentary item -- Lastly they will charge you an extra 3% for paying by card Decision is yours...

Nice find. Some items on the menu were better than others, but the overall quality was very good…read more We ordered takeout, and the online ordering process was fairly straightforward (though it didn't accept PayPal or Apple Pay). The space is tiny and unassuming, and the restaurant seems to be a family run operation. The interior is much more nicely kept than you might guess based on the outside of the building. The staff were very friendly, and all of our food was well packaged. I strongly suggest taking a look at the "Persian Cuisine" section of the menu; in many cases, that section is more interesting than the Turkish grill. In terms of food, things ranged from excellent to pretty good. The hummus was good and nicely textured, but not exceptional. The kashke ve bademjan was excellent, particularly when paired with the nicely toasted flatbread it arrived with. The Mediterranean salad and Tabouli salad were both nicely done, with a nice level of lemon acidity and some shredded cheese on the side. The veggie kebap was fine, but generally flat in flavor: it really needed some of the sides and some hot sauce to fill things out. The red lentil soup was simple with a subtle spicing but ultimately deeply flavorful. The ash reshteh (noodle soup with beans and spinach) was generally good but would have benefited from toppings that would have probably been provided in a dine-in environment. All told, this was a nice little establishment with some excellent Mediterranean and Persian style cuisine. They seem to churn out some high quality food from what seems like a very small kitchen. I could imagine eating in or ordering takeout, but note that the interior space is fairly small with a limited capacity.

A true Pittsburgh institution. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in all of this city. And,…read morethat's saying a lot considering what a foodie town the Steel City has become. In all of the years they have been in business (family owned since 1972), the quality and service has never waivered. I am an absolute nutter for Mediterranean food, specifically Syrian. The food is 100% legit, authentic. Made with love, care, & pride. My goodness that tabooli is INCREDIBLE! All fresh ingredients, all the time. Just the right amount of lemon so it doesn't overpower the rest of the flavors. The spinach & lentil soup reminds me of an old boyfriend's Sitty's kitchen. Her soup was the best and the stuff you get at Ali Baba is nearly identical. Kebab dinner platters and grape leaves are fantastic.
