This is the best Mediterranean food i was able to find in Pittsburgh. It's miles better than any of the others, but hard to find hidden in a basement on Forbes ave in Squirrel Hill.
The place is family-run, so most evenings there's a collection of school-age youths in the corner doing homework.
As a vegetarian, i can't comment on the quality of any of the meat dishes, but the veggie stuff is fantastic. I usually just ordered the mezza, with dolmas or falafel depending on my mood. The hummus alone is fantastic, but add in olives, feta, and the other classic Mediterranean goodies, and it's just divine.
The mezza was usually more than enough for two people to share, and if we added another appetizer there were always leftovers.
The service could be a little slow at times, but the food more than made up for it.
Mediterranean Grill could never compete with a place like La Med in Berkeley, CA, but for the culinary wasteland that is Pittsburgh, it was an absolute gem.
