| - I'm rather sad after two years of living in Pittsburgh I made my first visit to Alli Baba last night.
I must say I was very impressed. The dinner menu includes around 10 entrees and 15 "a la carte" items. Everything I sampled of my friends was very tasty, well seasoned and very satisfying. The hummus, baba ghanooj, salads and soups were all obviously made in house, not too garlicky but had a good punch of acidity that I often miss in this type of fare.
If I was closer to Oakland I would frequent this place for lunch. I feel like it is similar in quality to Istanbul for lunch, but crushes Istanbul's Larryville location for dinner, without question.
Beer only, Wine is BYOB without a corkage from what I could tell.
Lastly, @ Jenny. I also had the Moussaka. It was very tasty, and if you think something like this (or lasagna, souffle, etc) is not going to be reheated from a big platter they made earlier that day... you're fooling yourself.
