“Fresh natural decor, open layout and engaging music. The small pita included perfectly spiced protein and fresh veggies with a wide array of veggy sauces and dressings. Great taste and value.“

“Superb dining restaurant!“

“I was welcomed by Lady Erika and coupled with a Perfect Steak & Cheese pita today. WOW, what a superb delight. I highly recommend their cuisine and customer service. Great place to dine, but with it being so cold today, I dashed home to savor their pita. Talk about being good; I could not stop til it was all gone! Oops, let's keep that just between us (smile).“

“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.“

“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.“

“This cozy, family-owned bistro in Old Town Alexandria specializes in authentic Greek & Mediterranean dishes with Italian influences. I visited on a slow Sunday evening, and the staff was very polite and prompt in bringing drinks and taking the orders.

Each table is provided water, bread, and olive oil for dipping. The entree I chose is a Baked Moussaka, and my friend the Chicken Souvlaki Platter. Both meals were prepared and served in a timely manner. The food was fresh with quality ingredients. The Moussaka had a mixture of potato with the sirloin which made an interesting spin on a traditional lasagna dish. The chicken on the platter was juicy and tender.

The meal was in the mid-twenties in price which seems typical for this type of restaurant. The portions being a little smaller than I'd like for the price, but not disappointing. I believe this is an ideal place for a lunch or dinner date, especially if you are looking for authentic Greek cuisine.“

“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.“
