Reviews For The Garden Restaurant

My friends and I came here from Long Island, New York on vacation, and we absolutely loved it. There were plenty of delicious options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, which was perfect for our mixed diet group. As a vegetarian I’m not used to having so many great options in a menu so it felt like a whole new world opened up for me! The restaurant also had a cute and modern homey style. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly. She was happy to explain any unfamiliar food items to our friend who had never had Mediterranean food. To top off the amazing experience, we even ended up meeting the Mayor of Scranton here which was completely unbelievable! Overall it was amazing and we are sure to return next time we’re in Scranton!

Visiting from Texas and stumbled upon The Garden Restaurant in Pittsburgh — what a find! The Mediterranean food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. I tried the chicken kabab and hummus platter, and both were spot on. The staff were super welcoming and made me feel right at home. Great vibes, great service, and a perfect spot to try something new. Highly recommend if you're in town!

Delicious Greek food—lamb, falafel, grape leaves—it’s all amazing. The cozy spot has a few indoor tables and outdoor seating, and it's BYOB, perfect for a date night with a bottle of wine. They also offer flavored lemonades and smoothies.

Our server was on a whole other level, none that I've experienced at any other place. She was fantastic! It was our first time having Mediterranean food and it was delicious. Will be visiting again when we pass through Scranton in the future.

I had an amazing experience at The Garden Restaurant. I tried the salad, hummus, baba ghanoush, carrot soup, Lebanese Flower tea, Dubai chocolate, and Turkish coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious. The baba ghanoush and Dubai chocolate were especially outstanding. The presentation was stylish, service was quick, and the staff were very attentive. The Turkish coffee was perfectly brewed. I highly recommend this place for its flavor, quality, and warm hospitality. Looking forward to visiting again soon! Thank you Joe,
