We made a pre-show (a wonderful production of "South Pacific") reservation for a Friday evening dinner at Alihan's after seeing a few ads in the Post-Gazette. We like Mediterranean food but had never eaten in a Turkish restaurant & weren't quite sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. White table cloths and a friendly reception told us we had made a good choice. After sharing a delicious "Chef Borek" appetizer of goat cheese & leeks baked in phyllo and served with a tomato marmalade, we each enjoyed grilled kabob-type dinners - one chicken & one lamb. The accompaniments (bulgur wheat and rice pilaf) were excellent. The meat was ground and did not actually come on a skewer. Tasty, but next time we will choose non-ground options. It's a BYOB place, but we were each offered (and gratefully accepted) one generous glass each of complimentary wine with our entrees. We enjoyed a dessert of baklava, along with Turkish tea and coffee. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. We will certainly go back - show or not!
