Well, years after trying out Selami's, I'm finally fulfilling my promise to myself to try this spot out. To my knowledge, they are owned by the same people and the menu is the same; this is just a different location. Still, I got to try out a bunch of new items, some that I haven't seen in any other restaurant in Pittsburgh. I got to try out the Mersin Tantuni wrap, chicken Adana wrap, 2 side sauces, and their rice pudding. Starting with the very familiar, the rice pudding was great. Super creamy, a nice dusting of cinnamon on the top without it being overwhelming. Reasonable portion. Nicely packaged. I liked it! The chicken Adana wrap was also so, so good. This was my favorite of the 2 wraps. The chicken is perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Really enjoyed it. This was my first time trying the Mersin Tantuni wrap. It's finely mixed meat with vegetables in a wrap. The wrap itself is unique -- not really like pita, and more like a paratha if you're familiar with those. The beef is cooked well and definitely has quite a kick of spice to it. Not a ton of vegetables, but still, very nice wrap. It was great to dip the wraps (especially the spicy beef one) in the yogurt based sauce. This sauce was more liquidy than other yogurt sauces I've had at places, but still good. The other sauce was also pretty tasty and mild. All in all, this is a great place. Lots of delicious food options here, and the food is definitely high quality.

I didn't try the kebabs, those might have been 5 star. For soups and baked goods, I'd say it is very solid Turkish food with some stuff you don't usually see on US menus, but also that it's not exceptional. Tripe soup: tripe was cooked perfectly and not too smelly, broth was thin but did what it needed to. Lentil soup: very different spices than the Levantine style, but rich, smooth, and very Turkish-tasting. Borek were nothing special, too fried for my taste, but that might just be how the "cigarette-style" is. Pita was fresh and tasty.

Located deep in the heart of Pittsburgh not too far from the university, lies a small Turkish restaurant serving up some of your more typical Mediterranean affair as well as classics for the more inclined, such as Iskander kebap. Service wise I can't speak much on as I did takeout but the food was ready when they said it would be, it was hot on pickup and they gave me no trouble with paying and going. As for my chosen dish the Iskander Kebap, it is a very decent version of the dish. I could definitely use more of the smokey notes from the meat, or bright and savory ones from the sauces, but you're not going to leave her dissatisfied. I don't know what the competition is like up in PGH, but if you're close by here, I don't think you'll regret checking them out.

Great spot that is also open late near Squirrel Hill! I got the chicken kabob plate and it did not disappoint! Big portions well worth the money.

The food was very delicious. We had the tabouleh & meat platter, it was so much food we took some home almost enough for a third person. The baklava was one of the best we have had, it reminded me of a baklava we had in Istanbul. The place does need some TLC but the food is amazing. I would definitely go back.

Always have a good meal here! After a long road trip, we were craving some Turkish food, and decided to get takeout from Turkish Kebab House! We absolutely love this restaurant as it is always consistent and the food is delicious! We haven't eaten in yet, but we are looking forward to hopefully doing so soon! The service is awesome, our food is always ready on time and everyone always has a smile!
