Jolina's Mediterranean Cuisine

I enjoyed dining here with a friend on a quiet weekday afternoon. Jolina's offers good table service, and our server took the time to describe the various fare. Our entres were nicely presented and generous portions, each prepared with a masterful blend of spices; authentic Lebanese cuisine. The babaganou and grape leaves are favorites! Platters come with flavorful rice pilaf, salad and your choice of meat or kabobs, or a sampling of all. Each table was adorned with springtime and Easter decorations. There is metered parking on Brookline Boulevard, and it is BYOB, which I will keep in mind for my next visit. I plan to return to try some other menu items. Definitely a find for those who like good middle Easter food!

Can’t believe we never tried this place before tonight, living less than ten minutes away. Got the sheesh tawook, chicken shawarma, and mazza platters. Everything was *excellent*. The falafel in the mazza platter was so good! We did take out and it was ready in ten minutes and they were so nice when we picked it up. Inside looked nice; we’d definitely eat in sometime. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you, Jolina’s!

Mmmmm... very good. Google keeps providing great suggestions on areas we've never been. Very cute, clean little restaurant with excellent food and excellent service. I think it is just one man here and he is very efficient! Cute, quiet atmosphere, and good portion sizes. As you can see by the pictures the presentation is great, and the last picture speaks for itself! No doggie bags needed! Very nice traditional experience. We had 2 Turkish coffees, so I will probably be up until next Tuesday, but it was also very good. We will definitely be back.

Wow! Jolina's Mediterranean is amazing. The food certainly exceeded my expectations! Everything was absolutely delicious. Our service was outstanding and the atmosphere had a calm and welcoming vibe. I will be back to visit sometime soon and try more items from the menu!

Takeout ordered - Vegetarian Mazza, Pita, Kanafee, Bakalava. Good spread. Adequate quantity. Tasty. Very friendly and informative lady in the restaurant, and I look forward to an experience dining in the restaurant. Takeout doorway has a step and so not accessible by wheel chair. Not sure if dining area has an accessible entrance.

Meal was delicious! Lamb falls right off the bone. Amazing place!

I loved, loved, loved the food here! Best Baba Ganoush I've had in any Middle Eastern restaurant- the flavor was so fresh and vibrant! The portions are large and left overs can be brought home for another meal! We had the Chicken Shawarma, Fatoush salad and Artichoke salad, as well as the best homemade iced tea which had a lovely sweet flavor that was not too sweet. The prices are very reasonable, the service excellent and the food comes out fast! It is a small establishment so plan to arrive before peak times to get a seat! The food is flavorful and very memorable!

The food here is really delicious! It's one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Pittsburgh. The prices are amazing as well. Yesterday, I tried their spanakopita, rice pudding, and kunefe. All of it was truly delicious. Their spanakopita was excellent. It was crispy, filled with loads of spinach, a nice amount of cheese, and the portion was great. I also appreciate that they weren't too buttery (although they did clearly did butter up the filo, it just wasn't excessive). You get 2 of them for just 6. If you order for takeout or delivery, heat them up after you receive them. The warm spanakopita make for a fantastic light dinner or snack. The kunefe was somewhat untraditional, but I still loved it. Normally, kunefe is made with a cheese. Here, there is no cheese, but you still get the sugar syrup, shredded philo, and what seems like nuts. It was also delicious and maybe even better than some of the traditional versions I've tried. Crunchy, nutty, and sweet. For just 3! The rice pudding was also tasty and comforting. They pack a lot of the pudding into a container! It was very heavy when I picked it up. The flavor and consistency was perfect: lightly sweet and lusciously creamy. Such a great take on a classic. Also for just 3 (and an incredible portion)! Overall, this is a great place to get some snacks or a light dinner. I'd like to come back and try some of their meats. But, their desserts are delicious and spanakopita is incredible. Prices are great and so are portions.
