I got the chicken baryani, daal and nan. The rice was exactly what I wanted and chicken was seasoned and spiced perfectly. Nan was fresh, soft, and perfect. Daal was even better the next day! The best part, food won't upset your stomach like other places. Trust me guys, they care about their food and it shows! I can't wait to try everything on the menu...

I drove about 25 minutes to pick up my order well before closing and was told by the owner that they not only didn't have the order but couldnt make anything for me if I waited. I left after this exchange and watched a family go in and were subsequently greeted and seated at a table. I don't know what the problem was, but one thing is clear, I won't be going back and would warn anyone else against wasting their time as I did.

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.

It is unassuming from the outside and seems tiny when you enter, but don't let that fool you! First, they have an entire extra room of seating in a space next door (that seems to have been recently remodeled). The menu has a nice variety of options listing hot and cold appetizers, main entrees, sides and desserts. They specialize in Uzbek Cuisine which is quite different in some areas, but also similar to other cuisines with certain dishes. There are a variety of dumpling entrees and also fried dough/fried pocket items. One of the favorites among my family is the fried pelmeni which are small, beef filled dried delights. Perfectly fried, bite sized and packed with flavor. They are served with sour cream and a sweet chili sauce, but you don't really need any dipping sauce because they are so good on their own. Another appetizer we love is the cheburek, a beef filled fried pastry similar to something like an empanada. For entrees, I've had the Uzbek plov several times. Rice with carrots raisins and lamb. The lamb is tender and perfectly seasoned. It is one of those dishes that I am stuffed but can't stop eating because it is so delicious. The pelmeni soup is another highlight. Perfect for a cold day or to give you an ultimate comfort food meal. Service is usually pretty attentive (although if you end up in the extra room it will be on the slower side but still good). There is street parking right in front of the restaurant, but if there isn't space, there is also a municipal lot about a block away. The one down side is that if they are busy, it can take quite awhile to get food. But the wait is worth it! If you are looking to try something new and different, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

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.
