Alihan's, you are the best restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh 😋 We invited 10 families ( 30 persons ) to Alihan's. Martina was wonderful. She took care of everything. We had a buffet, food was fresh, hot and delicious. The servers Gulnaz, Madina, Sweet Peace were so friendly and kind. Really Alihan's combines quality food and a family friendly environment. We definitely will host our guests again 😊 Thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My family and I visited Alihan’s Turkish Cuisine earlier this evening. This was our first time trying this cuisine, and the entrée prices were reasonable.
We were served by a young female server who provided excellent service from the moment we walked in until we left.
Our entrées arrived later than expected. It appeared that she was working the entire shift on her own, as we did not see any other staff assisting her.
She was managing more than six tables at the same time, which likely caused the delay.
Despite this,
her communication skills were fantastic, and we received everything we ordered except for a small mango drink. This seems to be an issue of communication with the kitchen and ensuring adequate staffing during busy hours.
We were a group of seven, including three children. We ordered three Adana kebabs, along with one chicken shish kebab and one lamb shish kebab. The Adana kebabs were well done and definitely worth the price. However, the chicken and lamb shish kebabs did not meet the same standard.
As a friendly suggestion to the kitchen staff and owners, some adjustment in how the kebabs are prepared and served would improve consistency.
Additionally, there was a cleanliness issue. One of the cold appetizers (I do not recall the name) was served on a plate with visible dirty spots. We did not complain at the time, but this is something that should be addressed.
We are leaving this review so the restaurant can focus on accuracy, cleanliness, and proper staff management. My sincere thanks to the server for her dedication and outstanding service. With better staffing and attention to detail, this restaurant has great potential.
Thank you for the meals and the excellent service provided by your server.

It is hard to decide which was better...the food or the service. Everything was excellent, and the staff were attentive, helpful, and cheerful. A wonderful atmosphere as well.
Martina recommended the perfect meals. Our Uber driver was from Turkey and said Alihans was the place to go! Everything we tried so delicious!
