| - Tyma'z is one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in Pittsburgh that no one has ever heard of. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to eat there while living in the 'Burgh, but my mother took me last year when I visited, and again over the summer.
The little family-owned joint is tucked away in a residential area of the North Hills, across from a cake decorating shop and not much else. As other reviewers have pointed out, the restaurant can be hard to find since the exterior isn't flashy and the parking lot is tiny. Anyway, the interior is cozy and the entire staff are attentive and accommodating. The menu has a nice array of traditional Syrian food and other Middle Eastern treats.
Order one of the appetizer platters for a great selection of foods like grape leaves, falafel, tabbouli, and hummus with pita. The grape leaves are to die for and the hummus is delicious! I've had the Sleek (kale, black eyed peas, and cracked wheat) and Shish Tawook (lemon mint chicken) and both were out of this world. If you're craving really authentic, unique Middle Eastern food, definitely make a trip out to Tyma'z!
Bonus: They have plenty on the menu for vegetarians!
