Labad's

Best gyro I've ever had. The meat is hand carved and incredibly delicious. The veggies are fresh and their homemade spicy peppers are fantastic. You can't leave without their made fresh daily baklava. Love this family owned spot in the strip.

We've been coming for a few years now. The hummus, baba ghanoush, baklava, gyros.. all the things are amazing. Those particular things are homemade. They stock lots of middle eastern cuisine fixings, tea, seasonings, etc. The men who run this place make it, though. William, whom you'll easily recognize by his amazing mustache, and Larry who's also extremely nice. From what we've read in City Paper these guys are brothers. They are easily one of the best little spots down in the strip. I want to tell you to buy the baklava, but I also want there to be baklava left for me!

Got Baba ghanoush at Labad's and it was the best I had outside of Israel. It was smoky and creamy and very flavorful. The man at the store was extremely helpful and walked me through several of their food items and how fresh they are and how long they are kept at the store. I will definitely come back to try their Tabouleh, tzatziki and other fresh items.

Very cool Lebanese store in the strip but for me, it honestly cannot match the variety or value of Pitaland in the Brookline suburb of Pittsburgh. I came here as it was the 3rd stop on my foodie tour and we got to sample a plate of hummus and pita bread. I like my hummus more intense - this was fairly bland and the one bright spot was luckily the intense Greek olive oil used (after living in Europe for a couple of years, I can now totally tell you the difference in taste between Greek, Italian and Spanish olive oils!) The owner had an interesting mustache but I couldn't take any photos of him. Based on the food I had, it was a-okay hence 3 stars. If I go back and eat something that blows my mind, will update my review. Yelp Review 62/2017

Super amazing gyros (homemade cucumber dressing is to die for)and homemade baklava is the best we'veever had! The hospitality is super awesome and very personable. The grocery store has everything you need and very well priced. I was able to get grapeleaves to roll my own and will be making this place part of our grocery go to's.

This is a cool place if your looking for products from the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, or Palestine). Try the baklava or call 2 days in advance and order some kunafa. Come early: so you find parking.

This is a small shop on The Strip that absolutely had the best tzatziki sauce, ever! Firm and flavorful, perfect texture. Shops like this Mediterranean specialty shop make The Strip what it is: the flavor of the city of Pittsburgh. I cannot comment on more here, but wouldn't hesitate to go straight back for any other unfamiliar Mediterranean recipe components, meal accompaniments or simple advice on either!Nice proprietor and nice shop.

This place is a Strip District staple. His gyro's are VG and there are some to find items in the shop. In the wall freezer they sell containers full of rotisserie gyro meat. I buy to make my own or gyro omelets.

A little while ago we just browsed through this store just to look around. It's always good to do this type of browsing in the Strip District because you never know when you might need something that they have and nobody else does. This sort of happen when I went to Labad's recently. My wife was going through different recipes for our Thanksgiving dinner coming up. One recipe called for Pomegranate Molasses. She tells me she doesn't know where to get this. I didn't either so I googled how to make it but she figured out that it could be at a store middle eastern like this one. I work close by so I walked her on my lunch break. They are a store and a good lunch spot during the week for people working down here and good for visitors on the weekend. I didn't purchase a gyro but they looked really good. I walked in and it was a little busy. I was going to just ask if they had pomegranate molasses but I just happened to stumble upon it. It was in a about a 10oz bottle for $4.99. A little expensive but I had to get it. It smelled good in there and they have a lot of different products to look at if you need something to go with your middle eastern dinner one night. I went to pay and the guy at the cash register was nice and we small talked. I didn't have cash on me and they only let your use a card if your total is at least $10. So I ran to the ATM and got some cash out. I never have cash on me. Anyways I had a good experience here and I'm sure I'll be back.

I was there recently looking for a spice they didn't have. I bought a little tub of humus priced at $5.50 or so. When I paid for it the price was over $6. I was told it was the tax. It wasn't until later I realized there is no food tax in Pittsburgh. Strange
