The restaurant is perfect the taste is perfect and the staff also recommend a Turkish mixed dish.
I was at this restaurant today. I would say best Turkish restaurant in Pittsburgh, hands down. Amazing food, great staff and amazing atmosphere.. Our family had four meat Platter and it was outstanding!!. 10/10. Would recommend.
I noticed that I haven't been to very many Turkish places recently. Wanting to change that, I decided to try Turkish Grille tonight with delivery from Uber Eats. I got the kazandibi and the haydari yogurt dip.The kazandibi was both a huge success and a huge disappointment to me. It was extremely disappointing because it arrived completely jumbled and mixed up. However, this was probably the delivery driver's fault, so I won't blame Turkish Grille for that. What I will deduct stars for is the portion size. This was truly minuscule! For a whopping $7.50, I got kazandibi that was half the size of my palm, and I don't have big hands.While the portion size was way off in a bad way, the flavor was very good. It tasted a bit like caramel. The texture was great: perfectly silky and all around delicious. It's just not worth it for the portion.The haydari was also pretty good and came in a fair portion. It's got a very creamy texture; no chunks. You might get little bits of walnuts, but they are pleasant. It's salty and a great dip so can't complain there. The pita bread was just okay. Again, pretty small portion, but not terrible. It didn't have much flavor and I'm not sure if it's homemade or store bought, but it's alright.All in all, can't recommend this place. At least not for takeout or delivery. The portions are quite small and the prices are too high for what you get. Flavors are there, but it doesn't make up for the lack in portion or high prices.
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Small and cozy.Waited on by a lovely man, who we thought might be the owner. Very gracious.Started out with several cold appetizers and then went on to hot to try a little of everything. Each one that came out was better than the last!! So GOOD!Then we shared the mixed grill platter. ? Nothing was dry or tough. The seasoning was delicious and the stand out was a perfectly grilled and seasoned lamb chop!My fav though, was this warm and, I think, freshly-made bread. I haven’t had any this good since college; my friend’s grandma made it fresh on the bottom of her oven. HEAVENLY!!!
Delicious, fresh cuisine. Prompt, friendly service. Very reasonably priced.. Great byob option.
Small and intimate. I can see that it might be louder with more customers. Brick and wood. Pictures of Turkey and decor traditional to the country-as would be expected.

The stand out was a perfectly grilled and seasoned lamb chop! This gem will be going into my regular restaurant rotation!
The restaurant was empty when we arrived. Our appetizer platters proved the highlight of the meal. They arrived quickly and were quite tasty. Then the problems began. Someone was using power tools during dinner and the noise was so loud we couldn’t hear our own conversations. We asked the waiter to have them hold up the noise so we could talk and enjoy our food but the construction continued during dinner. This was rude and ruined the whole experience. No explanation was even offered. I won’t return.
We had a wonderful time, and the food was amazingly fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. For a part of 9, the staff was very accommodating.
TLDR: would definitely recommend if you’re in the Pittsburg area!Overall had a great experience here and would come back. The food was fresh and the people were super friendly. Their lamb is very popular and for good reason - it’s arguably their best meat offering. Here is what we ordered:Lentil soup: good flavor but would’ve like it to be hotterFalafel: not bad, and the hummus it comes with is good tooBaba ganoush: yum! Flavorful and good texture, especially great when paired with the falafelZucchini fritters: really good, they are crispy and fluffy without being glueyLamb chops: cooked well (not over cooked), tender, and flavorfulMixed grill patter: Adana kebab, lamb chop, and diner kebab were all flavorful, not dry, and not tough; the chicken kebab was a little bit on the dry sideKunefe: nice and crispy on the outside and the syrup is not overly sweetBaklava: flaky, sweet, and a great way to end your meal
We came for dinner on a Monday evening and waited 45 min for our food, which was extremely overpriced. The lamb shish was $17 for 6 pieces, and the veggie kebab was barely seasoned.
