Leena's Food

Some of the best falafel in pittsburgh! Don't let the location fool you. It's delicious!!

I heard about this place a while ago and have been wanting to try it for a long time and finally stopped today for lunch to go. While the ambience might be a little lacking since this is situated inside a gas station it is definitely worth a visit!. The good is authentic, generous portions and friendly service. The owner & his brother were very friendly and welcoming....they let me try falafel since I had mentioned I never had it before. It was very good but I decided to go with the Gyro platter to go. This consisted of a generous portion of gyro meat over rice, a side salad, side of hummus, 2 pitas on the side and a generous portion of cucumber sauce. Let me tell you this cucumber sauce is amazing big hunks of fresh cucumber in it....the best I have had. I really enjoyed the side salad. The spices were just right on it! Would stop by again. Cash only!

This restaurant is the epitome of a hidden gem. It is attached/connected/inside a gas station, so, the location is easy to miss, and also easy to dismiss. (It used to be a Marathon station, and is now a Shell. You can currently still see the blue "Marathon" stripe around the building.) The food from Leena's is fantastic! The gyro is tender and flavorful -- definitely a favorite. The portions are generous, and service is fast.This is a great place to pick up a meal for lunch or dinner.

The owner is very nice. The food is average at best. The portions are on the smaller side, especially for the prices. I have had falafel all over the world. These were lacking on the full spice and flavor profile. There were 7-8 tiny falafel "discs". The sides of the platter were just ok. The fries were the best part of the meal. The restaurant is inside a gas station. It could use a deep clean and a refresh.

Hole in the wall place with really great food! Handsome husband and I had the falafel platter, the gyro platter, baba ganouj and baklava. The gyro is amazing. Order the platter- it's a good portion size fit an affordable price. The baklava is also delicious. The owner's wife makes it homemade. The pitas he includes with orders are also made locally in Pittsburgh. It's family owned and the owner is super friendly and courteous. Heads up that he prefers if you pay in cash! He charges a small fee if you pay by card. Will definitely return and support this local business! Next time I want to order the stuffed grape leaves to try.

Wow, Mohammed's food is excellent! I had the falafel platter which was enough for dinner last night and lunch today. It was so very good. Husband had the gyro and he was very impressed. And he had baklava for dessert which Mohammad's wife makes. Again, so very good! It's in the gas station that others have called out. I'm hoping it's low overhead for the owners. Don't miss this little place. It's a home run!

I have a relationship with Leena's that goes back to 2005 when their original food truck would park near Benedum Hall at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by years of weekly visits to their restaurant in Oakland. While I was sad that they left the city for Murrysville, I'm still so glad I get to enjoy their gyros.Thankfully my wife can bring them on her way home from work on occasion and they are just as perfect as I remember them (with their amazing hot pepper relish). The owner and his family are some of the most genuine and courteous people you will ever meet as well.

A hidden gem inside a gas station!Gyro SandwichBest place to get a gyro and grape leaves and don't get me started on their baklava! If you're in the Murrysville Pa. area you must stop in and try their food. They are very sweet people and have the kindest hearts. We will definitely be back!

Food was fantastic, huge portions, owner is super friendly. Bought gyros and they were some of the best we've ever had. Get the baklava!

Awesome food, so excited we have a great place for falafel close to north huntingdon. The cousins were welcoming and gave us a few things to try. I will definitely be back!!
