Kassab's Restaurant

My moussaka was wonderful and creamy. The lamb dinner was okay. The falafel was tasty. The ambiance was just okay. We went on a Tuesday evening and there was only one server but they did a great job handling the dinner rush. The walnut baklava was the best I've ever had! Theres a pay parking lot a storefront down from this place. Great place to eat before going to City Theater!

I stopped by here a couple of Monday's ago with my wife for lunch. We happened to be out for the morning and so I fired up Yelp looking for a place to eat and we decided on Kassab's. This restaurant is located right on E Carson St in the South side. Whenever we entered the restaurant at shortly before noon, we were the only patrons there. As you would expect then we were promptly greeted and given our choice of tables. The inside of this restaurant had a number of tables, murals on the exposed brick wall, a bar and then a display case for some of their baked goods.For lunch on this day I decided to go with the moussaka while my wife went with the falafel sandwich. Since I had ordered an entree, I got a salad while my wife did not and that came out first. It consisted of some heavily dressed lettuce and then a couple of slices of both tomatoes and cucumbers. The dressing had a slight mint flavor which I enjoyed and was refreshing on the salad. I also enjoyed how heavily dressed it was but can imagine others who would not. Once I had finished with the salad the rest of our food came out. My moussaka ended up being decent and I really enjoyed the bechamel on the top. Then while I liked both the meat and eggplant, I wish that there had been a bit of a thicker layer of each as most of the moussaka ended up being bechamel and potato. My wife enjoyed her falafel pita with her favorite part being the crunchy falafel.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. It has been a long time since I have had moussaka and so it definitely hit the spot for me and I would be interested in trying more of their food in the future.

The most delicious lentil soup I've ever had. Highly recommend. The prices are amazing and the service is great. I liked the bar area.

The artwork on the walls in this place is just stunning... Although it's a bit dark and dingy, the staff is very warm and welcoming. You will be treated like family from the moment you enter till the moment you leave. And the food... Come for the spanakopita and stay for the Gyro... Both absolutely enormous and incredible. Probably the most authentic gyro I've ever eaten, and yes, it was the size of my head... if you love, good Mediterranean food, and are in the south side of Pittsburgh, do not miss this place!

My boyfriend and I tried Kassab's for the first time this weekend and were so pleasantly surprised! When we walked in the restaurant was empty, but pretty small. We were seated right away and the waiter was very attentive and polite. They do have alcoholic drinks as well but we went for lunch so we didn't get any. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma and my boyfriend got the Filet Kabob. I was amazed with the flavors in my Chicken Shawarma. It was so delicious and also ginormous! I tried my boyfriends Filet and it was tasty too. I will definitely be going back! If you've never had Lebanese food and want to try something new you should definitely stop in.

What a gem! If I had my ukulele I would play a sweet song called "Yalla!" It's obviously a love song bc I love this place. Great service. Heavenly food! Exceedingly fresh and flavorful beyond words. I did all vegetarian... (but they have a plentiful meat selection)Mezza platter ! Huge! Spinach pie! Hot and fresh (not frozen malarkey)Dolma was such heaven, I wanted to sing a song! Something with Fairuz, of course. Pitas & fatoush (salad)Everything was delicious and delightful.I adore the painted mural of the Lebanese couple... and the lady is making Man'oushe with Zataar. What a charming place !

Had a fabulous lunch at Kassabs in the south side! We started with a mezza platter and grape leaves. The hummus was exceptional, very creamy and homemade flavor! The grape leaves were also delicious but I wish there was more meat inside!For our entrees we got salads- one house salad with filet and one fatoosh salad with chicken. Both were so good- the filet was done perfect on the house salad but I wish I would have gotten it on the fatoosh salad- the dressing on that one was just perfect, lemon and olive oil. All in all I would return for that fatoosh salad with chicken or steak, and for the great service.

Tasty as hell, the chicken shawarma set me right. Nice vibe inside, clean and fresh feeling.

I've been going to Kassabs for decades and their food quality has remained remarkable! I think they have the best Hummus in the city! I recommend their sleek with a side of house make yogurt!

We recently had a nice meal at Kassab's before attending the first show of the 50th season of The City Theater. We shared several appetizers because everything looked so good. My favorite was the vegetarian stuffed grape leaves. They were larger than I've had from other places, and the flavor was perfect. We also had the green bean and tomato dish, which I've forgotten the name of. It was good, but in my opinion could have been better with more garlic. We also had the sleek and it was delicious! The service at Kassab's was just as I'd prefer - unobtrusive yet attentive. Our orders were taken, drinks were kept filled and the food was served promptly. Our entire experience was very good, and I highly recommend Kassab's if you're in the area and like Lebanese food.
