My special recommendation to everyone explore new and unique food and culture, and yes it’s is my family restaurant:)  Amazing menu for children and adults. Friendly service. Kavsar Halal Restaurant is a unique place for an ideal meeting of friends and family. If you want me to help you with reservations and get treated like Sultan lol let me know and I will set it up :)

Look, you don’t come to Pittsburgh and not eat a Primanti’s sandwich. These guys come stuffed with what can only be described as a deliciously disgusting amount of fries inside each bite. You might hate yourself after polishing off one of these sandwiches, but Primanti’s is a religion in Pittsburgh.

Eating dinner on Mount Washington is a rite of passage — you’re not a true Pittsburgher until you’ve dined against the backdrop of the most gorgeous city in the whole world. Splurge on the filet at Altius and you’ll be treated to a luxuriously divine cut of meat that matches your view.

Noodlehead is the kind of place you go to when you want to feel bougie but still don’t want to spend more than $10 on dinner. The rustic-meets-modern interior coupled with a Thai-fusion menu and no dish over $9 makes Noodlehead a winner in any book. Try the Chiang Mai Curry for a fun play on yellow curry, or stick with the tried-and-true Pad Thai for a phenomenal $9 dinner.

Hot-off-the-presses waffle cone. Need I say more? Once your tacos get served up hot off the grill, head over to the salsa bar, where you’ll find every sort of salsa and topping you can possibly imagine.

It was named the best cake in America for a reason. A dense, fluffy cake sandwiched with layers of luscious pastry cream, enveloped in a thick buttercream hug and liberally doused in candied toasted almonds. If it’s someone’s birthday in Pittsburgh, you best believe their cake is this one.

President Obama frequents this diner whenever he’s in Pittsburgh and you should, too. These crispy, delectable hotcakes stuffed with fruit and covered in whipped cream are something of a sin, and there’s nothing better to drown your hangover in. Nothing.

Walk down Atwood on any afternoon and you’re bound to be intoxicated by the smell of fresh frying donuts. You can stick with a fan favorite like the French Toast or Samoa donut, or go crazy making your own combo. Whichever poison you choose, there’s no better way to ruin your diet in the ‘Burgh.

Burgatory has a cult-like following in the 412, and for good reason. Think thick, juicy burgers piled high with peanut butter and habanero jelly or crispy fried leeks, with a spiked Burnt Almond Torte shake to wash it all down. The best of the Burgh in one stop.

Yeah, you read that right. As if offering 26 varieties of grilled cheese sandwiches wasn’t enough, The Yard manages to pack homemade mac ‘n cheese and bacon bits in between two slices of thick buttery bread for the best grilled cheese you’ll ever taste.

The Strip District is Pittsburgh’s hidden gem, an outdoor market packed with more fresh food venders than you could ever imagine. Walk into the screen door at Enrico’s and let the warm smell of baked goods overtake you as you decide between chocolate or hazelnut biscotti (both, duh).

These crispy, sugared Belgian waffles will make you want to kiss the Eggo in your fridge goodbye. Waffalonia serves up Dave and Andy’s ice cream (#5) on top of your waffle, and in true Belgian tradition, the Speculoos ice cream is the only way to go.

This pizza is the kind of stuff you dream about: a warm, crisp crust, topped with savory garlic sauce, ripe tomatoes, mounds of spinach, and finished off with a dusting of glorious feta cheese. Make sure you invite some friends over so you don’t accidentally finish the whole thing yourself.
