“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.“

“One of my favorite places in Tucson! The food is delicious, and the service is warm, friendly, and outstanding.“

“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!!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Everything is good. Great location. Fresh food. Nice atmosphere. Decent menu selection. Fair prices. Friendly workers. The pita bread stood out to me as above average. If I had to say anything negative, the portion on the steak swarma is a bit small, but hey inflation man, I get it. Still 5 stars though because of everything else. Chicken swarma had a good amount, about twice as much as the steak. Pro tip, get the chicken.“

“The dishes were delicious, aromatic & flavorful we had beef & lamb which were both super tasty in the tomato sauces. The eggplant sauce with mine was super nice & our appetizer garlic fries were freshly fried too & crisp which is great cause fries are always hit or miss for me. Great friendly staff & thered nice outdoor seating here.“

“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!“

“Great Food and Service. Good Appetizers“

“This food is pretty good! got the chicken shawarma plate. Was done really fast, was kinda questionable how fast it came out. But the flavors are amazing, and definitely a lamb dish next time.“

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

“What a wonderful evening provided by the folks at Passaggio. The food was excellent. Everyone we came into contact with was warm, friendly are were interested in providing excellent service.

My wife and I will most definitely come back. ❤“
