“Shaymaa is amazing! Her food is delicious, portions are generous, and her customer service is great! She makes an effort to work with your requests and make any adjustments to suit our family’s needs whenever we order. We especially love the chicken kabseh and the chicken shawarma sandwiches - but there isn’t an item we’ve ordered that we haven’t loved!!“

“Chicken shawarma is awesome. I did not like the meat shawarma is not something i would recommend at all, they used too many spices including cardamom which you cannot taste the meat. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma a lot. However, i have half of my meat shawarma and after I was feeling not good.
The service is nice and the people are friendly, prices are fine and the restroom is clean. They have a collection of soda and drinks, free parking.
Small couple tables not a big space but chill and clean.“

“Good food. very fresh and excellent flavor. clean and inviting atmosphere.“

“I love this place, it’s my favorite!“

“This is my third time eating at Pita Pita. and I keep coming back for a reason! The first time, I had just the falafel, and it was the biggest—and best-tasting—falafel I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with seasoning, and compared to other places in the area, this one stands out as the absolute best. On my second visit, I tried the mixed lunch, and it was simply delicious. The variety of meats, the creamy garlic sauce, and the refreshing salad with a hint of mint made for a healthy yet satisfying meal. The presentation was just as impressive as the flavors. Now, here I am again—two days in a row! Yesterday, I had lunch, and today, I’m back for dinner. This time, I ordered the mixed dinner, six falafels, and a side of that incredible garlic sauce. As I sit in my car taking photos of my meal, I can’t help but feel pure happiness. Five stars all around for both the food and the customer service! Pita Pita has officially earned my Golden Seal of Approval Award 🏆.“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“I recently visited rhis restaurant and ordered the Mixed Grill. It came with chicken, kebab, and chunks of meat, all perfectly cooked. The sides of hummus and salad, along with the fresh bread, were delicious. The restaurant was spotless, and the owner was incredibly friendly. There's a great variety of dishes to try, and everything looked fantastic. Highly recommend it!“
