| - Without a doubt, Istanbul Grille is one of the best restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh.
Their specialty is fresh Turkish cuisine - chicken shawarma, tabbouleh, bulgur and wheat rice, incredible fresh vegetables, artfully seasoned salads, grape leaves, and much more. There's no menu, you order cafeteria-style, which gives you an opportunity to sample all the options.
What really makes this place special, though, are the staff. Josh (the owner) and his colleagues are extremely friendly and caring people. I don't think I've ever had lunch there without seeing them give someone a discount or freebie. They treat regulars and "newbies" alike very well and are just wonderful people to be around.
Also, the tabbouleh is amazing. Now if they'd just serve Turkish coffee...!
