Pita BBQ is nothing short of a Mediterranean miracle—an oasis of sizzling flavor and generous hospitality in a world where portion sizes are shrinking and taste often takes a back seat. From the first moment you open your takeout box or step into the restaurant, the aroma alone is enough to make your heart skip a beat. Smoky, savory, spiced perfection fills the air as the shawarma turns slowly on its spit, glistening like edible gold under the warm lights.
The beef shawarma is a masterpiece of balance and indulgence—tender, marinated strips of beef grilled to the edge of caramelization, each bite bursting with bold spices and that unmistakable Mediterranean tang. The texture is perfect: juicy, flavorful, and never dry. When wrapped in warm, pillowy pita bread with a drizzle of creamy garlic sauce and crisp vegetables, it becomes the kind of meal that makes you momentarily forget the rest of the world.
Then there’s the chicken shawarma—bright, fragrant, and irresistibly juicy. The seasoning dances between smoky and citrusy, each bite delivering a burst of warmth that reminds you why Mediterranean cooking is one of the world’s great culinary traditions. Together, the beef and chicken create a dynamic duo of flavor—a perfect balance of richness and zest.
But what truly sets Pita BBQ apart is generosity. This place doesn’t play around when it comes to portions. Where other restaurants (*looking at you, Chipotle*) might give you three sad strips of meat and a shrug, Pita BBQ loads your plate like they’re feeding royalty. The meat-to-rice ratio is gloriously unapologetic—mountains of perfectly grilled protein sitting atop fragrant rice or tucked into a pita wrap that can barely contain the abundance.
And everything—*everything*—tastes fresh. The hummus is creamy and silky, the garlic sauce is punchy but balanced, and the pickles and salads add just the right amount of brightness. It’s clear that the people behind Pita BBQ care about quality, not just quantity.
Every visit feels like a feast, a celebration of flavor, generosity, and heart. Pita BBQ doesn’t just serve Mediterranean food—it serves joy, wrapped in pita and dripping with deliciousness. In a world full of fast-casual shortcuts, Pita BBQ is the real deal: bold, authentic, and downright unforgettable.

Food is good staff was great... Garlic sauce is amazing... Combo and rice NY Style.. Definitely worth exploring the menu however. Picture is intermission trying to figure out if I'm going to be able to finish it ‼️👍‼️Note: spoon is my personal take with me to eat out with spoon.

We have visited this restaurant three times, and every time has been delicious. There were four of us dining today, two ordered the Gyro and shared an enormous order of fries. The other two both ordered the lunch combination platter. WOW... All of the food was terrific, and the portions are so very generous. We enjoyed catching up with our friends, we were not rushed at all and the owner even brought us a complimentary balaclava assortment for dessert. Great place, great owner. We will definitely be back!

So I just post how awesome the lamb chops were and today I headed back there and tried the lamb kabobs. Omg just as good as the lamb chops. Make sure you ask for roasted jalapeño's they are great and not crazy hot. I posted a picture of the crazy amount of food you get in these orders. I for sure can't finish it. One thing zI like to say is I have eaten at many Mediterranean food places and they are pretty much all the same. What sets this place apart from the rest is your getting top of the line quality food as if you made it at home. The lady that cooks there is top notch cook or chef whatever you want to call it. If you have not tried this place your really missing out on real Mediterranean home-made quality food. I usually don't post reviews but this place deserves it and I hope they stay around.
I ordered the Chefs Special and it was absolutely delicious! 1/2 Chicken was perfectly done. The Lebanese salad was fantastic ! +Rice, +Potato, +Hummus, and Pita bread
So much food !
The owner is also a gentleman of excellent character. I also was impressed on the restaurant’s cleanliness.
Happy I was in the area

First and foremost, the food is absolutely stellar. I love the taste of the char of the chicken, and you get it here. I got the chicken shawarma and the flavors combine so well between the fresh veg and the garlic sauce that you honestly have a 5 star flavor experience that leaves you wanting to come back. Customer service was INCREDIBLE with compelling recommendations and welcoming vibes. Mohammed was an absolute peach. I will absolutely be back.
