“I live a block or two away and am so blessed. urban pita is so amazing. Their ingredients are fresh, their staff are friendly, and the place is spotless. I can’t give this place the hype it deserves.“

“On 5/1/25, I was in a car accident near Shish Kabob House in Tucson. The driver who hit me was followed by a friend or family member—who happens to be the owner of that business. Instead of doing the right thing, both are now lying to insurance agents about what happened. There were no other witnesses, and I’m still trying to track down any video footage from nearby businesses or apartments. It’s frustrating and disheartening to see a local business owner protect personal connections instead of standing up for what’s right. How can we support local businesses that don’t show that same respect and accountability to the community they serve? if she can so easily lie to an agency that can turn around and prosecute if/when the proof is shown, why would the community be so supportive of her. I highly recommend that this person doesn't get the community support she so much thinks she deserves! I wouldn't ever support an owner/operator of a restaurant knowing the lack of community support given back when I know what can be done in back of house in food industries to make sure she's got her butt covered in the event of a state inspection. please be careful with this person!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better! Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!! I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes. The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat out of it, which btw, is flavored so beautifully that you don't really need the tzatziki sauce but definitely worth putting on bc the flavors of both go together so well! I HIGHLY recommend going to Istanbul if you want outstanding Mediterranean food in a good atmosphere! This place definitely get 👍👍 from this food enthusiast!!“

“I ordered the Adana Kebap and was amazed by the generous portion and delicious flavors. The lamb, rice, pita, salad, and grilled vegetables were all perfectly prepared. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tucson. Can’t wait to return!!“

“Best food ever check them out you won’t forget the taste Middle Eastern food try this place WoW man so delicious thanks for the hook up ��“

“First time here, a very pleasant surprise, we ordered the sampler plate for 2 and it was delicious, you get 4 chicken breast, 2 stakes, @ 10 homemade sausage links and 2 ground beef patties, with 2 types of rice with 2 different sauces. Seriously for 2 people!! The way it was prepared and the flavors in all the different meats. It’s a 40min drive from our house and I have already booked a dinner date with some friends so I can introduce them to this hidden treasure. Don’t let the look device you when you get there. It’s definitely a regular location for us moving forward.
I can’t wait to try the goulash.“

“Very good Middle Eastern/Med food. Best fries in Tucson. Wrap sandwiches are excellent.“

“We have a wonderful experience! Food was great, staff was so kind, very quiet and peaceful ambience. Our server, I think her name was Sira, was great!! The chef had hors d'oeuvres brought out as well which was very nice. We were celebrating a life event, and we are so thankful that the manager surprised us. We can't wait to go back, very thankful to all the staff for the experience.“

“Just tried this place for the first time last night....food is FANTASTIC!! The crew (young) were incredible; engaged and helpful explaining their menu. Great personality and customer service. The dining area was super clean and the 3 young men working, were actually working in between customers and not goofing off. We will definitely be back!!!“
