I paid around $10 for a huge platter that could probably last a few days if I wanted to. there's a nice market next door with a huge selection as well! the food options are numerous, but what I ordered was the chili chicken, chicken tikka masala, naan, spinach paneer, and rice. the chili chicken was by far my favorite and definitely recommend getting that. the naan was HUGE, fluffy, and perfectly buttery. there are mediterranean and south asian options.
on top of having perfect food, the staff is so friendly. it's a super fast paced food joint and they're really nice when you're ordering, which is ideal. this will definitely be my regular spot whenever I am in Pittsburgh read less

My mouth waters when I come in here...everything looks and tastes amazing! They give you huge portions, so come when you're hungry. The restaurant is cafeteria style- you stand in line to order, then you pick from a wide variety of dishes what you want to eat. It's crowded around 1:00-3:00, so come as early as you can. They also have a market next door so you can shop while waiting for your food. I recommend trying the chicken schwarma or get a little bit of everything. The saag paneer is one of my favorite veggie dishes they serve. The chicken biryani and lamb curry are good, too. Besides the food, the staff is great too. When you're shopping in the Strip and need a quick lunch, stop at Salem's! You won't be disappointed! read less

Now I'm not restricted to buying their lamb chops and tabouli when I shop for Halal meats at the market next door. Their meat is excellent, too--local sourcing, fresh, cut while you wait! read less

The place is a nostalgia trip for someone who grew up in the Middle East and their food makes it worth the wait. Got the meat shawarma meal and was blown away by the amount of food we got. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the meat was beautifully done. I got the spinach side, which I would definitely recommend above all else as (for my Indian friends out there) is very close to Palak Paneer! The combination was unheard of but a welcome one.
Their market is a go to place for all your middle Eastern cravings like canned hummus and baba ganoush, but do it before your meal. Otherwise you'll end up in a food coma too beautiful to want to move a muscle. read less

But the people working there are very nice and the food is always excellent. I cannot believe I've never rated it before! This is my second visit in a week. When I worked in that area I went much more often, but I still try and make it a point to visit now. Great ready made food and fresh, cooked to order food as well. The clientele is a real meting pot of Pittsburgh, it's nice to see. I have never had anything here that I have not enjoyed. With the grocery side and the butcher shop, the meats are very fresh. I usually have some of the hot foods or gyros or shawarma. But a friend said you MUST get a burger and a cheesesteak sometime. Well I tried the burger and he wasn't wrong! It was huge and delicious. I have yet to try the cheesesteak however. Tonight I had a regular size hot meal which was enormous! I brought more than half home. I have a healthy appetite and I've never finished a normal size meal. Don't hesitate, go here. read less

Amazing. Arabic/middle eastern restaurant and store. TRY THE NA'AN , it's to die for.

I ordered the Meat Shwarma and a side of Meat Samosa. The Shwarma came with literally tons of meat which I believe was gyro meat on top of lettuce tomatoes and red onions with a side of gyro sauce. The meat (ground beef) samosa came with I believe tahini sauce. The samosa was excellent and just a tad bit spicy. For the price of the order I was well satisfied. It could have fed at least 3 people. Just tried the chicken Shwarma and veggie samosa too!
Trust me if your into middle eastern and mediterranean foods this place is by far the best I've had in and around the city. read less

I originally went to visit the market, which was kinda small but had some interesting things. Then decided I wanted to try the food.
It was lunchtime but the line to order moved quickly. It took about 20 minutes to get the order though.
I ordered the shawarma wrap and my husband ordered the tandoor chicken kabab. The wrap was good and was stuffed with chicken and veggies. It came with a white garlic sauce that I didn't care for.
The real star was that tandoor chicken kabab. Easily the best chicken I've ever eaten. It had a great flavor and was very hot and moist. I stole it from my husband and ate it all.
Prices were very good for the portions and quality. I can't wait to go back and try more! read less

Amazing quality, taste and portion sizes. The inside was clean and the staff was very polite and accommodating. Recommended 100%
