What Ale J dislikes about Istanbul Sofra:
I had a decent meal in here. The food portion is big and they can customize some of the options be gluten free. I would had a better experience if the waiter was more knowledgeable about gluten allergy and celiac. Also, It is good to know what culturally accepted the say! View all feedback.

Literally the best Turkish food in Pittsburgh, and reminded my friend of his life in Istanbul. You best believe I will be back as many times as physically possible.

The service at this restaurant is exceptional! Olive, the owner, is incredibly kind and genuine, making her one of the best restaurant owners I have encountered in a while. With years of experience in the service industry myself, I truly appreciate her dedication to providing a wonderful dining experience for her customers. The care she puts into the food, the staff, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is evident in every aspect of the visit. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning many times in the future.
