Salem's is a very casual spot in the Strip that never disappoints. I got the traditional shawarma with beef and a side order of fries. My boyfriend got the hot bar. Service was fine, no complaints there.

Something about the sauce or the way the beef is seasoned in the shawarma makes it delicious and something I often crave.

The fries are that crispy double fried kind of fry, which also hits the spot.

  This place is just incredible! Great prices, great food, fast, and friendly.

I had a medium combo with chicken tikka masala (among the best I've had), saag paneer, and chicken biryani. Love that you can get a Greek salad instead of rice as well!

Will absolutely be back, this place is clearly an institution for good reason.

  I Always enjoy Salem's fresh food options with great flavor and large selections, especially when combined with the offerings from the grill!

  We showed up at opening (11 am), put our order in and I'm glad we did when we did. We beat the rush but man, the energy in this place when people started to roll was unmatched. That's when I knew this place was legit. I got the lamb Shawarma and my buddy got the lamb gyro. Portions were right, flavor was next level. Get the naan bread. Ask for extra garlic sauce. Everything looked fire. Highly recommend this place. Their takeout system looked like a well oil
Machine. Well be back 100%

  Salem's is always a hit! One of our favorite spots to get takeout for when we want Halal food.

Food: We both got the traditional shawarma and it was so tasty! The meat was so sweet and plentiful in the wrap. We also got fries and the portion was insane for the value!

Service: The workers were attentive and our food was ready when we arrived. The place was bustling so I'm surprised it was ready so fast.

Ambiance: While for this order I got takeout, Salems is always a great spot to eat at. Plenty of seats, it's always clean, and the smells of food are great!

  Great food at an amazing price. I enjoyed the experience as well it felt very Mediterranean.

  I recommend Salems as a must-visit destination in Pittsburgh, offering a unique glimpse into the city's rich culinary landscape. Situated in the vibrant Strip District, Salems embodies the essence of our diverse community, providing a welcoming space for all to explore and enjoy authentic immigrant grocery options. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the flavors and traditions that make Salems a true gem in our city.
Take out, dine in and enjoy the market for grocery shopping!

  Great food. Place always seems to be busy. I've had the Chicken Biryani (level 3 was pretty spicy, and I like spicy), Veg Samosas, big, so good, and chicken tandoori kabob. Good and good portion. Chicken was prepared well.
Don't skip this one.

  I stopped by around 5:30pm yesterday with a group of 6 people. There's tons of open seating available. It's definitely a place you for food versus vibes.

You order and pay at one of their kiosks and they call your number once your food is ready. I got the lamb shawarma and it was a ton of food and inexpensive. It was also delicious! I tried some of a friend's fried and they were breaded and amazing.

Salem's has tasty inexpensive food and I heard their catering is very reasonably priced, too.

  Delicious, Mediterranean food located right in the Strip District. Order ahead or find a spot to eat in their dining room area. Touch screen ordering and cafeteria style meals! Everything made fresh and great quality. Had the small hot bar meal with white rice and chicken gyro plus cheese naan. Pretty quick service and delicious food for a good price.

  Our family loves Salems! The food is really good and the workers are so nice. The chicken Marsala and the beef bacon burgers are my favorites.

  Wow! The food is awesome and you get a lot for what you pay. The only down side is if you order fresh if the grill it takes a while because they are busy. We WILL be returning!

  Very good and tasty food , reasonable pricing. very humble and courteous people to serve and help , casual atmosphere

  Delicious, affordable, friendly quick service - what's not to love about this place?! Salem's stellar reputation is well earned.

Two things that I think deserve an extra shout out are the French fries and whatever the garlicky sauce is on the shawarma.

Always love stopping for a delicious lunch and some grocery shopping at Salem's, can't wait for their move to the Hill.

  I've been eyeing this place for a few months now, and I finally got to go today with a group of friends. The food selection is great, and there are many of my favorite flavor profiles. I ordered the medium hot bar entree with biryani rice, goat curry, tandoori chicken, and a side of butter naan. Unfortunately, they messed up my side and I received what I believed to be chicken curry instead of tandoori chicken. They messed up 3 of my friend's meals as well. That was the only downside of this place.

The food was absolutely fantastic. I loved the spices, the goat meat was juicy, and the butter naan paired well with everything. They also give you a TON of food. You won't leave hungry. I'll definitely be returning to try other items.
