“Can’t believe I didn’t try this place sooner! Calamari tasted a lot better than it smelled (and in fairness it could’ve been the marinara I smelled). But idc, was super delicious. And the bartender and owner were super friendly.“

“The food is amazing! The Pita House is one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town! I have never been disappointed.“

“I normally love PP but they were out of shepherds salad. That’s a must have for me on my on my pita. Location isn’t all that conducive to eating there so I got it to go. The place seemed pretty slow but the workers didn’t seem not engaged in doing much else.“

“I definitely enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is intimate but lively. I had the stuffed flounder which was delicious! Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals from chicken Alfredo to the Gyro Salad and Souvlaki salad. The Greek wines were well selected and the staff was attentive. I will definitely return!“

“Food was interesting and mostly ok. Most of the business seemed to be take out. Pretty good selection to choose from and there was a lot of traffic around evening rush hour for take out. Ambiance and decor were very simple and very basic. Nothing elaborate.“

“they have more add ons. great strawberry citrus.“

“I love everything that Omar’s have to offer! I usually order online to pick up and it’s always ready on time or earlier. The platters are filled with delicious flavors. My favorite is the lamb platter and add chickpeas or corn. Pickled turnip is also great. Omar signature sauce + white sauce combo is so good I can take a bath in it!!! (JKJK) The employees are always helpful, working hard to get that fresh food out. This is our weekly dinner spot and I am lucky that they are right down the street from my house!“

“Been coming here for many years—great food and polite and helpful staff!“

“Astounding menu paired with excellent and reasonably priced wine. I'd suggest picking a bottle for the table, sharing each others' dishes, and experiencing the best atmosphere you'll find in the states. ask for Yanni!“

“Superb food. Superb service. A really fun source for delicious Middle Eastern takeout. The only reason I'm giving them a 3 for atmosphere is because it's a food truck. These dishes could be served in a fancy sit-down restaurant for three or four times the price.“

“This is my spot! Been coming to La Casa for over 40 years and the food has always been on point. It's a great feeling knowing we have a local family owned small business in Alexandria that is successful. Thank you for the many memories you all have provided over the years through great food, and atmosphere. Keep up the great work. Thank you.“

“Great middle eastern food. Thriving for the original taste. Employee are ok. Manager is a nice man. I been visiting this restaurant for a long time. Today the Sunday, I passed by around 4:30 pm. I was annoyed, I was planning to eat some chicken. The door was close as soon as I tried to open. Don’t know if it was intentionally or not based on a history of bad behaviors by this manger. Anyway thanks.“
