Creamy, dreamy and delicious! Amel’s has a homemade feel to every dish they make. The Mediterranean meals are authentic and affordable. The seafood risotto is one of my favorite seafood dishes in Pittsburgh. This is generally on the specials menu, which is ever-changing with classics and chef favorites. It comes with a house-made salad too. The portions are huge. Who doesn’t love leftovers for lunch?! For a starter, you must try the hummus with ground lamb. The first dip with fresh pita into the bowl of hummus is unreal. Going with someone who isn’t necessarily a fan of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine? No worries, because they have various options for all, such as a classic cheeseburger or Philly cheesesteak.
