Delicious Turkish food, very flavorful and nicely presented. We shared tasty cigarette borek, hummus and baba ganoush appetizers with wonderful home baked bread for dipping. For our main courses, three of us had lamb Adana Kebabs, nicely spiced and moist. Others had Shish Kebab and Chicken Kebab. We were all delighted with the food and service. The lunch entree portions are a perfect size so one can try an assortment of the numerous cold and hot appetizers. Turkish wines and Efes beer were the perfect accompaniments to our meals. The owner, Mr Akyuz, was a welcoming host. We wish him much success with Istanbloom and look forward to returning soon. Thank you!

Etna

About the restaurant

We are a modern restaurant housed in an automotive garage that dates back to the 1940s. During the pre-interstate period of America, people and families often traveled across storied highways such as Route 40, Lincoln Highway or Route 66, encountering regional foods and a variety of cultural influences along the way.

In that spirit, our seasonal menu will be a ‘road trip’ that explores some of those mid-western, southern, south-western, and western dishes and techniques. Just like a garage, we will tinker with and adjust them to put together something that will make your trip to see us memorable.

Food was very good. Prices weren't bad, but nowadays everything is expensive. Parking was street parking which was a little challenging but was able to find a spot. It was a little noisy inside but overall it was a great experience and will go back.

We had a group of 6 for dinner. It was a quiet night at the restaurant, which we hope was because of the Phillies playing the Pirates that day. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The collard greens were amazing. Waitstaff was a newer intern but did a great job of taking care of us. If we are ever back in Pittsburgh we will visit again.
