Amel's Restaurant - Pittsburgh

I had the filet with shrimp, the amels salad, and for appetizers… meatballs. The meatballs were good, had some great seasonings on them, along with the bread they gave us… delicious. The Steak was a Little mediocre, as far as steaks go… but it’s on the high end of mediocre… so it’s still pretty good. Just didn’t seem to “wow” me or knock me out of my socks. The shrimp was good with that, and the mashed potatoes along with green beans and all the other sides… were excellent. The salad was just as good as the steak. I would definitely come back and recommend if I was nearby, but it wouldn’t factor in as a “I’m gonna drive two hours to eat here”. The staff was all very very friendly and I do think you will be seeing me again.

I tripped over this place coming home from work ... Decor in place is unique with Jasmine's on walls . I ordered Beef Shawarma wrap with side of Fattoush salad . Service on point , I will be definitely back for the lamb and Jasmine rice next time ..

Wonderful little restaurant with great food and an awesome food selection ! Definitely recommend if you're in the south hills area !!!

The food quality and quantity is always consistent. Great wine choices. The waitress was awesome even though the place was packed. The Spots are always 'spot on ' (pun intended). The hummus smooth. Falafel was a little dry. All the dinners came out at the perfect temperature. No leftovers! Highly recommend stopping in for cocktails and/or dinner. (Although the lunchtime barmaid was rather slow on my previous visit).

Amel’s is a restaurant that I have been meaning to go to for 20 or 30 years. Well, I finally made it and I am really sorry that I didn’t go sooner. Service was very good. Hostess, bartender and server were all friendly and efficient. The list of beers on tap was diverse and had something for everyone. It was served at the perfect temperature. The menu is extensive with several entrees that I wanted to try but I had to pick one. I went with the Chicken Taboo which was a grilled breast seasoned with Eqyptian spices. The chicken kabob’s were also very good. Their tabouli was the best I ever had. Prices were reasonable. Not cheap but not out of line for what you get. I’ll be back.
