I came here as this was the First (and best!) Stop in the Pittsburgh Food Tour that I had booked. Y'all it's a Mecca (pun intended) and if you are a Pittsburgh local and a foodie, you absolutely owe it to yourself to come and check this magical store in person.
I think what surprised me most about the space was how efficient it was and also it was full of unexpected surprises. Behind that unassuming facade is an actual Pita bakery, a butchers, an industrial kitchen space and a grocery store. I was privileged to be given a look behind the scenes, thanks to the tour otherwise I reckon most folks walking in would only see the store + butchers and a glimpse of the fresh in-house Pita making, behind the glass windows.
There was tons of Middle Eastern grocery stuff, mostly focused on Lebanese brands as that where the owner is originally from but there was so much other grocery stuff on the shelves that I didn't recognize.
Also, the sheer variety of olives was amazing - There was one from Greek that actually tasted sweet!! We sampled lovely freshly made hummus and feta which tasted gorgeous- the only thing they didn't have was camel-milk chocolate, but who knows that might be coming soon.
Absolutely recommend coming here - it's a feast for the senses!!
