Istanbul Grill

Love this spot in the steel building. The food is always so fresh and flavorful. The workers are also super friendly and helpful.My favorite thing to get is the chicken salad with beets, chickpeas, white sauce, and spicy sauce. So much flavor with every bite. I have also had the chicken and lamb gyros before, both of which were great. They give you really big portion sizes, which can be split into two meals. One of the best bang for your buck places in the downtown area because of how much food you get.

I heard this iconic place is now back open, they moved location. Went to check it out and I can report the food is authentic and as good as it has always been. Josh and his sister Ilkcan are the cooks and take pride in their culture and what they serve.It is in the basement food court of the USX building near few other restaurants.Great fresh variety and high quality Turkish food. Come early as they get a line of people.You will not leave hungry, the owners are very friendly, patient and kind. The food is fresh and this is by far my favourite Mediterranean food place. For the cost, you cannot go wrong here. Great service, tasty healthy food at a reasonable price.

I really only try posting every time I have something new that I think are amazing and had to try. Like the zucchini that were so carefully cooked to perfection and taste so good! Adding the yogurt sauce was a plus! Chicken is a great choice. The creamy beets, hummus and couscous. Additional favorites.

The Istanbul grill just opened back up in the US Steel Tower basement. Fresh homemade food! A "bowl" w/ or without meat is around $12-14 depending on add ons. A nice break from pizza and burgers. *Cash only*

This place is a gem. Hands down the best meditteranean lunch you can get downtown. The beef doner is INSANE! Everything is priced super fair, and they give you lots of food. This is my second day in a row grabbing lunch here, and i will definitely be returning soon. Service was fantastic and very quick, no need to order ahead.

Delicious food, friendly and fast service. Cash only. Some of the more authentic middle eastern food i've had in Pittsburgh.
