Looking for high quality, flavorful food? Try Salem's. "Cafeteria Style" only describes how to order...the tandori chicken was deliciously spiced and tender and the lamb shawarma was tasty. There is free, off-street parking, which is a bonus for The Strip District. A stop in Salem's Market after a meal is also recommended. Looking forward to returning soon!
Outstanding food! If you are looking for a good, clean meal in the Pittsburg area, this is the place! We had mostly vegetarian items and they were great. If i lived in Pittsburg id eat here 2-3x per week!
Had a hankering for a good gyro, and Salem's did not disappoint. Good sized gyro, seasoned very well, great sauce, and plied high with meat.
Excellent spot if you want to have great tasting food and massive portions. Meat is consistently well cooked and seasoned. Big fan of the lamb curry and grilled chicken (pictured)
The market attached is also great, run by really friendly people. Prices looked fair and wide selection of meat/spices
Absolutely fantastic Mediterranean food. Loved by locals. The gyro and garlic naan are some of the best in town. The bread is so good. The naan portion is big, and good to split with 2 people.
Service was good. Food was served quickly considering how busy it was. My only complaint was that my food came out cold. Tables and floors are also kept clean, no crumbs or sticky mystery messes.
Atmosphere is nice, the dine in area is recently renovated. Plenty of tables, bar seating around the restaurant, sleek touchscreens and two in-person ordering stations ease congestion.
I can’t get enough of Salem’s!
Veggie curry over rice is excellent and I’m not even a vegetarian.
There’s a spicy chili chicken I like to call crack chicken because it’s sooooo addicting and delicious!
Staff is super friendly and helpful as well if you aren’t too familiar with the cuisine.
I have been going to this restaurant since 2015. It almost never disappointed me. The quantity of the food is always more than you can eat. The prices are so affordable. The taste is great. The market offers great Arabic and halal products. The only comment is that I feel that a new administration took over. Since then I feel like the place is becoming more and more westernized every time I visit it. The sense of home this place used to give is shrinking. The prices started to go up, the place to pray is not available anymore, etc. I truly hope they bring back the old spirit this place used to have.
I’ve always loved how I can come into your place of business and see my food set out and being prepared. I’ve always gave you a 5 star but this new set up messed up the experience of coming to Salem’s to get my food. The food is good as usual but I was super disappointed that the experience of seeing your food and greetings from your staff. I’m not a fan of the new set up but service is great and the food is delicious.
Had the privilege of visiting America February 23. I was posted in Pittsburgh. I was lucky enough to find some great halal spots in the area but Salems grill was one of the better ones that i discovered. Had a UK halal spot vibe to it. I was craving steak, I heard Americans know their steak. It was very good. Only downside was…It was served on a plastic foil plate with plastic utensils. I went to the server and told him i was eating steak. I need proper utensils. He apologised and said they couldn’t give me proper utensils, strange. Good food though.
This is our first time to Salem's Grill in Pittsburgh's Famous Strip District. We were in town celebrating my Fiancée's Birthday. We each had the medium hot bar meal. The Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, the Lamb Curry and the Veggie Curry were Outstanding. Cynthia and Mustafa were very kind and attentive. They treated us like guests in their home. We topped off dinner with the Chocolate Bomb and the Chocolate Tart from the dessert case. Both were too die for! A meal here is a must when visiting the Steel City!
