It's such a small space with only a few tables, but the service was super fast. We tried the labneh to start, which was really good. We shared the traditional lamb shish kebab platter, which came with a salad and rice. Then we got a dish with mixed meat and eggplant which was very flavorful. The food was enough for the both of us and we even ended up taking some home. The cashier was also our waiter, and he was super kind, especially with our kid. They had high chairs, although the highchair was definitely loose and needed tightening. It seems like most people will come here for takeout, which I would definitely keep in mind and do for the future.

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.

We also got a make your own bowl. I'm a vegetarian so i ordered the Vegetarian Ghallaba. Lightly spicy but very flavorful. Think of stir fry with peppers mushrooms carrot and chickpeas.

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.

If you are vegetarian, or vegan this place is heaven. Omnivores - you will love it too, but good healthy veg restaurants are few and far between. For veggie folks - the baba, hummus, ezme, many salads, lentil soup are all sublime. But a great option is " Imam Bayaldi" - half a stuffed eggplant that is a rare find and super delicious! Their tabooli is absolutely the best I've ever had, I think it's the parsley they use - not at all bitter. For meat eaters - the lamb is delicious! The chicken options : Doner, saute, adama are all super tasty! There is a lamb stuffed option of Imam Bayaldi also. Portions are generous, service is spot on. I don't know that I'd order a fish option - might be good but that's not something I'd order at this type of restaurant.... I don't care for their Fallafel - disclaimer : I've made my own from scratch for decades, and I don't deep fry mine - which every restaurant seems to do, this one included. This restaurant is BYOB.

The person in charge couldn't be bothered to come and address the situation even as we were the only people in the restaurant. I won't ever go back, even though the food was good. After standing up, I noticed VEVO insect lights plugged into every outlet around the dining room. So they know they have issues , Apparently Mediterraneans don't have people skills! Sorry!
