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.

This is definitely a neighborhood favorite as I observed lots a togo orders being picked up. Everything is cooked to order and smells as good as it tastes. My friend and I ordered the big G breakfast which consisted of French toast, eggs, turkey sausage and grits or potatoes. Everything was delicious and fulfilling.

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.

You are definitely going to need something drink to wash them down. Lamb and rice 3/5 decent amt of food for the price. It's lil bit than halal guys but I would give halal guys version a 2.5 /5 Cheeseburger 2/5. Overpriced . The best thing I.

I discovered this place when trying to find something to eat after a performance at the PMT theater…read morebasically across the street. 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!

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.

*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

Got my chicken over rice and it was absolutely delicious! For those who are interested, it is meat cooked served with rice, pita, and a side of salad. The white sauce and the hot sauce is a must! The price is very reasonable and comes with a drink. I would say this is a new gem in the Oakland area. I cannot wait to go back again. They also have a variety of other options too. Must try!!
