The place was good. The people who know the place are expected to be a family. Their manner was very good. Their treatment was kind
Food : This is not shawarma or the right way to make shawarma it was more like burrata
The sauce in the chicken is very obvious. The way the sandwich was made was more like burrata.
Notes: The sandwich must be reduced in size or wrapped correctly to become shawarma The chicken is clean, the sandwich is clean and the bread is new
You just have to focus on putting pickles + garlic sauce and a little fried potatoes and making the shawarma sauce less clear and browning the meat or chicken more to make it shawarma. You can also add a little parsley and tomatoes and reduce the size of the sandwich or make it thinner.
This is just my comment, I hope you accept it. Thank you for your beautiful spirit that fills the place.

Amazing food, so amazing I ate here every night of my trip. Gyro, hummus with pita. If I could give 10 stars I would. Next visit I’ll be back!

The last 2 times we've been here, they did not have chicken shwarma. Why? It's was Sunday at 1pm. Another time, they ran out of rice, and I had to get fries. I used to love coming here, but their inconsistencies has made me look for alternatives Mediterranean Restaurants. We ended up going to Yafa nearby instead.

Just picked this up on a whim while staying at a hotel nearby, and wow! I was so impressed - the hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel were amazing, and the baklava was to die for. Highly recommend!

I would recommend this place to anyone.
What a great this meal. We ordered the kufta plate, shawarma fries, falafel and kanafeh. Can recommend any of those options, and would trust everything else on the menu to taste just as good. The kufta was beautifully spiced, the salad was fresh and tart, and the yellow rice was perfectly savory. The shawarma stayed tender, and the chili toum packed a huge punch of flavor. The hummus had a delightfully light and creamy texture with high quality olive oil to match it. The falafel kept a fantastic crunch (we ate about 25 minutes after we picked up the food) and tasted like cumin and herbs. Even the freshly grilled pita seemed particularly excellent. The kanafeh had a perfect balance of sweet, tart, crispy and rich. Thank you for a wonderful meal, Elias Pita.
Vegetarian options: The falafel is excellent. If you visit this place with a veg or vegan friend they will be juuuuust fine
Dietary restrictions: Halal compliant, open for intarsia at midnight (I believe) and very vegetarian friendly
Parking: Entrance is down the sidewalk from the parking, along the street. Plenty of spots though
The best, I mean best Mediterranean food in the local area. You can eat in or order to go. Everything I have tried has been amazing. The garlic sauce is an absolute must, so good.

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago when my parents were visiting from out of town. When we were ordering, several items were out of stock so that was disappointing. They also did not have any cold water, ice, or cups for the fountain drinks. I enjoyed my meal, I ordered the Falafel Plate that was pretty delicious! My wife ordered the Shish Kabob Plate and also enjoyed it! Other than not having everything on the menu in stock, everything tasted good but I probably wouldn’t dine in again.
Just plain great food, reasonable prices, generous servings. The atmosphere is fine---it's just not "date night" stuff.

The food at Elias Pita was decent, though nothing extraordinary. I've been a regular customer, but I've noticed that they've started practicing shrinkflation. Prices have increased, but the portion sizes and food quality have declined in both taste and quantity. While I understand that rising costs affect everyone, including grocery markets, this decline is disappointing. On a positive note, the place is clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming.
