“ Alihan brings the true spirit of the Mediterranean to life with an exceptional blend of flavors, hospitality, and atmosphere. Every detail reflects authenticity—from the fresh ingredients to the warm, welcoming service. A perfect experience for anyone craving the essence of the Mediterranean. ”

“ Food was terrific. We sat outside and service was a little scattered. We didn't have one dedicated server, and one often didn't know what the others had already taken care of (or not). That could have been a consequence of choosing an outside table or just the way they operate. Even so, our food was delivered quickly and the only time we waited was when we were finished and ready for the check. As for the food, everything was delicious. If you like strongly flavored things, the grilled veggie appetizer is a winner. The baklava, mentioned in other reviews, was easily the best I've ever had. Not dripping in sugar, but buttery and crispy and just sweet enough. The Turkish tea and coffee are both quite strong! ”

“ Bustling restaurant. Authentic Mediterranean. Great location to have dinner before a show. Right in the heart of the Cultural district and across the river from the stadiums. We had Babaganoush - smooth smokey and flavorful. Served with freshly toasted hot bread. Grilled vegetables were nicely charred and delicious. Tried this dish. Iskender Kebab. (Authentic traditional Turkish meal with hundreds years of history: Doner layered on homemade butter bread, topped with our special marinara sauce and served with chargrilled tomato & pepper and yogurt). It was delicious. Order rice to go with it. Such a treat.., Will surely be back soon ”

“ A true Turkish delight! Alihan’s Mediterranean Restaurant feels like a quick trip to Turkiye right in the heart of Pittsburgh. From appetizers to main courses, everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. The lamb shish and hummus were standout dishes. Service was quick and the staff incredibly welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is warm and cozy—you feel right at home. If you love Mediterranean cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Fully deserving of 5 stars! ”

“ The kebabs were okay, lacking a bit of flavor, but could definitely be improved. The atmosphere, however, was great – really enjoyable and cozy. ”

“ Great food and excellent service! Ordered Chicken Kofle Kebab, and it was so good!! Will definitely come back again when I’m in Pittsburgh next time! ”

“ We had great experience at Alihan's. Delicious food, excellent service and experienced staff who took time explaining all the meals to us. Calm atmosphere made us feel very comfortable and unrushed. Will be definitely back! ”

“ Was walking around the city looking for a decent place for lunch outside the cold winter. Stumbled upon this Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. Had the beef with rice and it was lovely. The beef was tender with flavours and the rice was the star component for me with this dish. Had a Turkish tea which was very refreshing to end the lunch (or so I thought...) Upon looking at the desert menu, kunafe was available. Am a big fan of the dish and decided to chat with the waiter. The waiter said this is freshly made to order and has a 15mim wait. The fact that it’s made fresh, got me sold. It was fragrant, crispy, packed with flavours. The ice cream topped up the sweetness. The staff and waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend anyone who’s in the city looking for a nice cosy ambience and great service with delicious food to try the place. ”
