Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Well done and great flavors without having a shawarma dripping in your sleeve.... which is what allot of Lebanese restaurants do to compensate for food lacking real flavor. Although I did not order them I would highly recommend the pita chips, they received rave reviews from my coworker's.

This place has the charm, character and flavor of a small shop you're much more likely to see in a place like New York City than Phoenix and I always enjoy eating here. Such a great place. It always makes me feel good to eat there. A small shop with reasonably priced, healthy, fresh, delicious food served by a friendly small business owner. I wish there were 100 more places like this in Phoenix.
(5)Felipe R.
I love this place! It has great food, nice small dining area, and great customer service!
(5)Noor B.
Cute restaurant. The hummus is really flavorful and delicious, and the bread is super soft and nice. The pita chips are so good but I know they must be awful for you. The grilled eggplant is really good - nice and light and fairly healthy. Prices are reasonable. I'd go back.
(4)Jennifer G.
Great experience from start to finish. Pleasant staff. Wonderful gyro and greek fries. Large portions. Reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back!!
(5)Jamie D.
I literally thought I had died and gone to heaven after trasting the Greek fries. Hands down the best seasoned fries I've ever eaten. The staff was helpful and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
(5)Brian G.
I have been waiting for a good gyro place in my neighborhood. Very good gyro!!! I had the pita chips and hummus for the side. It was so good I am tempted to come back and have just an order of hummus and pita chips. I am looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other offerings. Next time you're in the area, skip the burger and go Greek!
(4)Paige C.
This was my first time here. I walked in and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the small restaurant. The staff was very friendly. We order a gyro and chicken pita. They were over all good. Good seasoning on the chicken and gyro meat. I wished they would have used better quality or fresher veggies. The baba ghanoush was great! I would go back just for that anytime! Over all good place when you are in a hurry and need a good bite to eat I will try it again.
(4)Sarah S.
Whenever I know I'll be in the vicinity of Pita Kitchen, I want to make sure that I'll also be hungry! Last couple of times I had a falafel snack. Yesterday with a friend we also enjoyed the Greek Fries. :-) I had wanted to get them but it's a lot for little'ole me to eat. So splitting the order with a girlfriend was perfect. Fries plus greek dressing plus feta cheese sprinkled with fresh parsley. ..o my gosh! So good!
(5)Ayyad K.
I went here as much as I could when working nearby. The food is plentiful, their Mediterranean salads are great!. They have more of a Greek vibe if you look at their decor, but they are really a mix of different Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern cuisine (cannot be disappointed)
(4)Dean-Ryan S.
Really good Mediterranean food here. I have to say, I'm absolutely addicted to their garlic sauce. It's just amazing. I usually get two containers of it and then just drench every single mouthful in it. I actually went and asked the lady at the counter if she could share the recipe and she said it was a secret.. bah! Whatever dish you get here, trust me, get some of this magic pink garlic sauce - you won't regret it. Apart from that I usually get the beef or chicken. I'd vote this place second best Greek in Phoenix, with Greek Wraps coming out well in in front like they always do. I'd usually give a place I really like 3 stars, but Pita Kitchen gets a fourth for the garlic sauce. It is THAT good.
(4)Esther V.
The food is really good the usual place I go to is all the way in Chandler too far. I Love Love Love their Chicken Shawarma Pita and their Greek Fries. I gave it 5 stars because their was nothing bad with it.
(5)Travis L.
I'm not a hummus fan but there hummus might have changed that i had the cilantro hummus. The sitting area is small and was packed while we where there. The food was great in the top Greek places I have ever eaten.
(5)Patrick B.
I'd say 4.5/5 overall because as they say on annual employee evals, "there's always room for improvement." Additionally, 2 of the 3 times I've called in my order, I've been placed on hold for over 5 minutes. The second time resulted in me arriving in the parking lot prior to them taking my order. Food is easily 5/5 though. Everything I've tried has been delicious. The gyros and Greek fries are the best I've had, not that I am a gyro or Greek fry aficionado or anything though. So, YMMV, but I don't think most people would be disappointed.
(5)Miguel R.
The staff here was really polite, nice, and attentive. Compared to other Greek places I've visited in the valley, I've received more food for the price that I paid for the meal here. So I wouldn't recommend splitting a meal with someone if you're both hungry. I had the gyro plate and the gyro meat was good. I like that I got choice hummus as a side.
(3)Scott J.
Great Greek food! One of the best we have ever eaten at.
(5)Sherin C.
Pita chips and hummus yum yum! My three year old even loves it. They are all very friendly, I'm never disappointed. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. Suggestion? Order it to go.
(4)Ramon O.
What an amazing place to eat!!!!! Great prices and great food!!! Staff is very friendly!!! Best hummas and pita chips ever!!!! I've tired other similar Greek places, but this is by far the best. The rice is my favorite!!!! Highly recommended!!!! Opa!!!!
(5)Natalie D.
Glad I found this place ... Salad was outstanding, very fresh NOT like the bag lettuce you get elsewhere...you can tell quality is important to them and it shows...nice job !
(5)Aaron L.
The food is very good, the Greek fries are delicious, and hummus and pita was unlike any others, my gyro was perfect, we will be back
(5)Marc R.
We love coming here to get our favorite gyro combo. Add the Greek salad the dressing is excellent. Also try the pita chips with hummus. Don't forget to finish off with the baklava.
(5)Vanessa C.
Good food but we've noticed the portion sizes have really gone down. A little disappointed.
(4)Faye F.
I love place! The best Greek food in Phoenix I've tried so far! Always fresh, always yummy! Great service. The owner is always checking up on your meal and he is always soo nice!
(5)Andreea S.
I had the gyros... so so tasty! And the tzatziki is very flavourful. Great choice. The service was fast and the lady was sweet .
(5)Scott T.
Pleasant surprise. Didn't expect much since it has a bit of a fast food vibe (e.g., order at the counter, soda machine, etc.) but the food is really good. Excellent Tadziki, flavorful Gyro meat and nice warm Pita. We will definitely be back, much better option than the other places in the area.
(4)Francisco H.
Really good pitas. Meat is well cooked and seasoned. I usually get the Greek chicken salad. The dressing is very good and the portion is more than enough. Small place, but I always find a seat. The people working are nice and courteous.
(4)Roman R.
Pita chips are delicious. Gyros are delicious. Salads are delicious. Just come here for some delicious Greek food!!!
(4)Jason W.
This was my first time visiting and only my second time having Greek food. I was a bit apprehensive, but happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. The service here was prompt, polite, honest and friendly. I was amazed how quickly everything arrived, but there was definitely no sacrificing quality for speed here, everything tasted amazing. It was hard to believe everything tasted as good as it did for the price. I'll definitely be coming back... And soon.
(5)Rebecca M.
This is one of those places I'm always showing off to people who aren't from Avondale. I am consistently impressed by their food and service. The only thing to dislike is that it gets BUSY at lunchtime -- try going at an "off" time and save yourself the wait. My boyfriend and I have ordered just about everything on the menu, and nothing disappoints. The Mediterranean sampler is a steal at $4.25 during happy hour. (They don't seem to advertise their happy hour, but I've been given 50% discounts for appetizers on a few occasions.) Their sauces and marinades are incredible. Be sure to try the cilantro jalapeno hummus and the chipotle sauce.
(5)Judy C.
Delicious, generous portions, service with a smile. Extra nominal charge for extra sauce. Gyros better than tri-tip.
(4)Aaron J.
The food here is amazing! It's one thing to have great food, but when you have great service too it's awesome. Ryan is the owner and you can tell that he cares about great quality food. They make their hummus from scratch and it's delicious! If you're looking for great tasting Greek food this place is hands down the best on the west!
(5)Eugene B.
If you going there please order combo kabob the best dish on the menu I would order it with salad. The pita is pretty good. Do give me about 15-20 minutes or so before food is cooked.
(5)Anthony R.
The food is excellent. The problem is they have out grown the place their in. Every time I come it's packed outside chairs full. I came close to leaving this last time having to stand in a corner. Oh yea their is no place to go to wait for seats. Let's expand already
(4)Sam L.
Let me first start by saying I am a great lover of food. I absolutely will only go someplace more than once if I deem it worthy and only Yelp places that are worth spending your money on. That being said this place is phenomenal! The owners treat every guest as family and I have yet to eat anything short of perfection. My wife and I eat here or take out from here on a monthly basis of not sometimes twice in a month. I highly recommend the steak shawarma and my wife is a big fan of the gyros! There pita chips are AMAZINGLY and their Greek fries have left me dying for more on many occasions. The restaurant is always immaculate even in their busiest of times and their staff is always friendly. For an added treat don't forget to order a baklava. It's doubtful you'll have room for it at dinner, but it's a great pick me up with an evening coffee after you blissful food coma wears off!
(5)Kevin W.
Finally! Our search for great, fast, authentic Greek is over! We had the hummus with gyros & chicken with more than enough soft, warm pita bread; not over salted, and just enough bite to clear your sinus'. You won't regret it!
(5)Heather M.
we are never disappointed at pita kitchen everything is always on.. From the kabob to the gyros and the appetizers. I always rotate what I order because I can never choose a favorite. Even my super picky husband loves it here and it's always his first choice. The cook in the back is always friendly and the lady in front always asks us how our meal as. all of their staff has been friendly and we have never had bad service or bad food. I just wish they could get a nother location or a larger location because lunch time is grinding time!! Always busy and yummy I wonder how they don't run out of food!!! Perfection!
(5)Happy Y.
This place is great!! The food is very good and the prices are reasonable. I could eat Greek food everyday. And for fast, healthy and tasty Greek food, this is a great spot. It's located in a strip mall at 99th and McDowell, and the atmosphere isn't anything fancy. But it has great food at a good price and that's all I'm looking for for a quick and healthy meal on the run. I love their beef kefta and their tzatziki sauce!
(5)Lucia W.
This place is great. The grilled vegetable medley never disappoints, and their greek fries are the best I've had. They don't just give you dry fries with small feta sprinkles, you get small square feta chunks in with your fries. They also use some kind of vinaigrette that's really awesome.
(5)Joe P.
I love this place! Pita Jungle tastes like crap after eating here. They don't skimp on the meat, the food is consistently good. The people working there are very nice. The ice tea is better than the ice tea at Pita Jungle. I never go to Pita Jungle anymore. You guys get 5 stars for being so much better than a popular chain. I also love supporting small businesses, being a business owner myself. They need to get better at being busy, because with food this good... they will be constantly busy. We ordered food to go tonight. It was good but not great like it usually is. They were PACKED, so our meal probably got rushed a bit. I think they are out growing that little spot. Time to buy the hawaiian place next door that is always empty and move in next to Chipotle. 1 good meal, many many great meals. Still a 5 star place in my opinion!
(5)CMaurice W.
Very good food. One thing that I'm a stickler on is cleanliness from looking in the back kitchen not the most spot on place. -but the food speaks good and they always have "A" grade inspection sticker so can't complain much aside from the long waits it's well worth the experience.
(3)Nick W.
Eat here all the time, it's never been bad! The servings are HUGE! You can get hummus, wraps, and some delicous baklava too! It's small on the inside, and can get crowded, but they give excellent customer service. Everyone gets their full attention, and daily specials make for a great, inexpensive lunch! The chicken kabob meal is my favorite, and the saffron rice is worth the trip alone! Enjoy!
(4)Rachael F.
Great place to eat on the westside. It does take some time to get your food but in my opinion it's well worth it! It's a bit pricey but you do get a lot of food. Always very friendly staff.
(4)Anthony V.
Ordered 2 gyro pitas, being from Chicago I'm used to gyros SOO big that you have to take meat out of the pita in order to eat. This place gives small portions for what they charge. Wouldn't give this place another chance. Flavor was good, just don't get a lot for your money.
(2)Courtney B.
Realllllly good med food ! The chicken shawarma is good, and the veg medley is too ! I like the hummus also.
(4)Crystal S.
New resident of AZ from Houston TX and was curious about Mediterranean food out here. I saw that there were crazy reviews so me and my hubby and kids went. Staff was really nice and helpful, prices are reasonable. I ordered the beef skewer no.10 which was good. The seasoning was good, the Greek salad was great. Just that the steak was a little tough, was cooked a little too long. Other than that it was ok
(3)Keri A.
Great Greek! Really good flavors and excellent service.
(5)Lexi A.
I had been waiting to eat here and I finally did yesterday! The food was soooo goood, full of flavor! The staff is wonderful as well, everyone is super friendly! I will for sure be coming back!
(4)Chris C.
Our new local greek joint! the gyros are well made, the lamb is cut just right. The chicken schwarma is on point and the jalapeño cilantro hummus is outrageously delicious The owner of this place is really a nice guy and the prices are great! Thanks for the 10% off when we checked it too!
(5)Lauren Ashley G.
I love this place when I lived in Arizona. It was a great alternative to my California Mediterranean food! I loved my chicken pita with pita chips! Yummy! Juicy chicken. They also have a cilantro hummus which is THE BEST! Also I might add, I think it's the owner that's usually up front but they are always so nice and friendly!
(4)Crystal J.
We went on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy being it was lunch hour. We ordered the gyros. Even our 14 yr old picky eater had a gyro. The gyros themselves were packed full of meat. Had a good amount of the cucumber sauce. They tasted awesome! Gyros are decently priced and a combo with fries and a drink will run you about 9 bucks. We will definitely go back.
(5)Vivian A.
I love this place! Gyro and chicken shwarma pita are absolutely mouth watering. And lately, I've been trying to cut out some meat and dairy from my diet so I had their falafel pita for the first time which was just as satisfying! After reading the enthusiasm and love for the pita chips and hummus on here, I decided to try them, and yes... It's true... Those are out of this world!! Yum! I wish the food was less greasy and that the pita chips were not soaked in oil but... If you've been good and you deserve to indulge, this is a great joint!
(5)Beth S.
So worth the drive from El Mirage! The store is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food was DELISH! Best chicken schwarma since Doobie went out of business out in Mesa. We enjoyed a wide variety of dishes and a week later--my party of 9 is STILL talking about how good the food was. Going back this weekend!
(4)Ashley K.
This is an "OK" Greek place, but no where near the best. Our last few trips have been a big let down and I forgot to call an tell them so I'll tell all: the salads are $10 for a small portion of ragged old lettuce and a few pieces of chicken here an there. The gyro my husband had was also skimping on portion and the pita was hard! Their meals are also pricey in my opinion and you'll get crap fries, compared to the alternative My Big Fat Greek.
(2)Lori D.
I dig this place! Everything I have tried here was very good! The exception might be the hummus which I found to be slightly bland but it was totally edible and I am pretty picky about hummus! The Greek fries are awesome too!
(4)Ryan D.
BEST FOOD EVER!!! This place was the very first place my wife and I ate at when we moved to Phoenix and we've been hooked ever since! The staff is friendly and the owner runs an great restaurant! You can tell the food is cooked fresh when you order it and it's not sitting waiting for you to come. Recommendation: order online if you're getting takeout. Two thumbs waaaaay up!!!
(5)Gilman W.
Great vegetarian options, everything I've tried was amazing. Staff is always kind and accommodating. Everything always taste very fresh, the vegetables always have a nice fresh crunch.
(5)Valerie V.
Their Greek salad is amazing, their chicken kebab is also amazing but the place is a little small and they're usually packed so it's hard to find seating some times. The longest I've waited for my food was about 35 minutes. Other than that I'll be coming back again.
(3)Heather Y.
Quick, friendly service. Clean tables. Ordered the greek salad with chicken. I loved everything other than the spice, which I think was allspice on the chicken. Just not my something I care for. Got a side of tzaiki for my pita bread and it was wonderfully light, fresh and delicious. Friend had the gyro, that was good as well. Will be back to try more menu items. Wish they had a chicken gyro though.
(4)Jill C.
So, back to Pita Kitchen I went this past Saturday. This time with my mom, step-dad, and Baby C! We ordered and sat down at a table. I got the same thing as my visit on the 20th - Gyro pita and greek salad. This time the Gyro was NOT greasy. Very tasty at that. The Greek salad again was awesome. My mom ordered the same thing as I and thought the food was good. And my step-dad ordered the chicken souvlaki. It came with rice and salad. He liked it so much he almost cleaned his plate! Seriously good food here! So good that Baby C enjoyed some Gyro and chicken! :)
(4)Suzzi S.
This place had some of the best Greek food I've eaten. The fattoush salad was amazing and I loved their dolmas. Really inexpensive for really amazing food. Plus, the service is extremely friendly. They make you feel at home. We got our food relatively quickly. The place was almost completely filled so I was surprised I didn't have to wait. I would definitely return here.
(5)Mia J.
I'm sitting at home eating the leftovers of today's lunch. I got the gyro entree and my bf got the chicken schwarma entree...I have both leftovers. Delightful earlier today and just as good now. My only regret is that I live 30 mins away. I'll be back in tho!
(5)Sophisticated T.
Perfect! I loved the Greek salad with gyro and the hummus. Fresh ingredients and great flavor.
(4)MaryMary Q.
Absolutely delicious. I have never had pita chips like these and quite honestly...I am spoiled now! Everything we had was wonderful and we made sure to let the guy who runs the place know it! Will definitely revisit!
(5)Vasile H.
Chicken kababs are amazing..with some of the famous pink garlic sauce.....I usually get the chicken kababs..or the chicken kababs salad...great
(5)Lana J.
Wow, this is how middle eastern food should taste like. And what a great owner. He was so hospitable and kind And he had a nice smile. The best tabouli in Arizona. Almost as good as mine. Food is Yum!
(5)Michael P.
Excellent food, excellent prices! We got the falafel and beef and both were delicious! I'll be coming back here for sure!
(5)Gabe A.
Great food, awesome service, reasonable prices. Been eating here since they opened. Always greeted with a smile and the food is fresh and flavorful. Probably one of the best Gyros I've ever eaten, and the Greek fries are awesome. Great for lunch or dinner, I eat here a couple of times a month.
(5)Michelle T.
Everything was awesome. Tried the cilantro hummus and it is worth getting it Togo. The owner walked around and asked how it was and was ready to clean off the tables. Very clean environment as well.
(5)Jorge H.
So I've been frequenting this fine establishment for the last few years and I gotta say this place never disappoints. There service is amazing they're always smiling and making you feel welcomed and there food OMG there food beats the service which is impossible to comprehend but it does!!! I lve tried a few different items and have always left satisfied today however I went in with a different mindset as in I needed some comfort food. This is where Pita Kitchen excels, I ordered the gyros entree and Greek bruschetta, first time for the latter which came out 1st and I'm so glad it did because it was one of the most pleasant surprises I've encountered in any food establishment in a very long time. Soon after the entree showed up and like I said I've had it many times before but that didn't matter because it tasted like the very first time again which needless to say is pretty epic. I could write a novel and not do this gem of a place justice so I'll leave with the tip that if you love amazing food and great service it doesn't matter what part of the valley you are in, it is definitely worth the drive and some.
(5)Terry F.
Wonderful Mediterranean 'fast food'. The gyros are wonderfully flavorful and packed full of well seasoned meat. Garlic sauce is an option on the pitas and highly recommended by this reviewer. Portions are plentiful and should satisfy the heartiest of appetites - split a combo meal if you are a smaller eater. Service is wonderful and they really seem to like their customers and their business. Would be a regular at this place if we lived in Phoenix.
(5)Francesco C.
Great people and great food. The man at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Not your everyday fast food joint. The food was delicious and fresh. And we are at the end of the night. I would go back, no question!
(5)Stacy Z.
Seriously phenomenal Middle Eastern food. Like ridiculously good. Eat here. Order the Greek fries. Thank me later. This is a little hole in the wall on the corner of 99th and McDowell (same plaza as Hobby Lobby) but located in the smaller strip of stores at the other end of the parking lot. Looks to be run by 2, maybe 3 guys. I've eaten my fair share of Middle Eastern food and this is some of the best I've had in Phoenix. The garlic sauce is awesome. I can't even guess what's in it but I'm sure unicorn blood is involved. I had the steak schwarma and hummus and hubby had the chicken souvlaki. His chicken was so perfectly cooked that we couldn't decide if it was white or dark meat. It had the flavor of white meat but was moist like dark meat. The hummus was delicious and it had a bit of a kick but it wasn't overly spicy or anything. It was all delicious and came with generous amounts of pita bread for dipping. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes and the Yelp check in bonus was a 10% discount off of the bill. Service was super friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back. Well done gentlemen. Glad to have found you in the West Valley.
(5)Wes H.
Delicious food and truly delightful workers. One of the workers noticed I was almost out of their delicious sauce and offered to bring me another! Didn't even know I could get more. Love this place
(5)Jennifer H.
Best Greek food I have ever had!!!! After multiple recommendations, a couple girlfriends and I decided to finally check it out. Oh my goodness..... This place us excellent! The pita chips, crunchy on the outsides, chewy on the inside. The gyro was so flavor able. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Pita Jungle is over rated in comparison. The service was very friendly.
(5)Allison S.
My boyfriend and I live about 2 minutes away from this place so we are frequent patrons. We love it!!! Have always had awesome food. It comes out fresh and the portions are generous! I love the eggplant and the greek salad. The boy loves...everything. Their hummus... I crave it all the days! Absolutely recommended!!
(5)Lizett B.
The chicken kabob plate is always my go to for lunch or dinner! Chicken is perfectly seasoned and very juicy! I usually get the cilantro humus and half salad it's more than enough for one person at a great price. I lo e that they have kid friendly items as well. The place is very clean and well kept and the service is excellent! Very humble and accommodating! I am always recommending this place.
(5)Stuart P.
Great gyro. Fries were awesome. Super friendly service. Place was packed, but not too crowded for comfort.
(5)Laura R.
Great gyros and dolmas. We've done both carry out and dined in and had good experiences.
(4)Evelyn L.
I'm at Pita Kitchen at least once a week, it is seriously that good. Their chicken entrees are really good if you've never had Mediterranean food before. The hummus is really good not sure if the pita is made there or if they buy it pre-made but it's good I always feel like you can't have enough. If want to play it safe and try a little bit of the best just order the Combo Kabob entree, and get the hummus instead of the Greek salad. You'll thank me later. I don't know if I should be reviewing the gyros since I'm not a very big fan. The first time I was there I had Chicken Shawarma pita, it was really good, but I'm not a big fan. So I've never had them again not saying it's bad or anything. The owners are also friendly the man which I think is the owner is always very polite and is whiling to explain anything. It seems to be family owned which is nice to still see.
(5)Roger L.
Food was excellent. Gyro pita and kabob sandwich. Fries hot and crispy, pita bread hot, meat was tasty. Service was a little slow.
(4)RM J.
I did not enjoy the food. Had the gyro entree - meat had annoying aftertaste, rice was bland. Fries were pathetic. Greek salad was excellent. Don't understand the high reviews they have rec'd.
(2)Douglas P.
Ate dinner this week at Pita Kitchen based on many Yelp reviews. Everything about this restaurant confirms the Pita Kitchen's five star review status. We had a large Greek salad, a steak schwarma pita sandwich,, and Greek Fries. The food was excellent, the service friendly and helpful, and the prices very reasonable. Each of our entrees was quickly and well prepared, was well seasoned, and attractively presented. The Greek fries with feta cheese were the best french fries we have ever eaten. We will return to the Pita Kitchen every time we visit the Phoenix area. The Pita Kitchen is family-owned and operated. They earned our five star recommendation.
(5)Ayaunna B.
First time trying the place while on a hummus mission with my cousin. Found Pita Kitchen on Yelp and decided to try. Excellent decision! Fresh food, moist meats (chicken and gyros) and really good dressings. The garlic dip is amazing as well as the Greek dressing. I really like the fresh, homemade taste of the food and the staff was really friendly.
(5)Sheila N.
Loved it! Got the chicken and pita chips with jalapeño hummus.
(5)Nick M.
Love this place, GREAT food and by far the best customer service i have ever experienced. They make you feel like you have been their friend for years even if you'd only just walked in for the first time. The Greek Fries are AMAZING! . This place is a real gem.
(5)Michael P.
Chicken shwarma entree was awesome! Garlic sauce really unique. Our server Jackie was very friendly. We need a Pita Kitchen im California!
(5)Jared R.
I really like this place and can't get enough of it. As one of the few places that is close enough to my work for me to get there and back during my lunch break this is a true go to for me. I tried the chicken shawarma my first time there and have a hard time convincing myself to try anything else since it was so goo. The flavors are fantastic and the chicken is moist and perfectly cooked. The portion on the plate is great too as it comes with plenty of rice and salad along with a warm pita and some tahini sauce. I did try the steak as well and while it was still really good I wouldn't pick it over the chicken unless I needed a change of pace meal. The prices are right inline with what you would expect and I am always greeted warmly and with great customer service, I do take out a lot and the phone service is just as nice and orders ready when they say they are. If you are in the area I highly recommend checking them out.

I love Gyros pitas, I found out this place was for a while and didn't see it, so anyways... Took my wifey for some Gyro's and Greek Fries. She loved it , try the Blakava very tasty. I know some places have their Cons and Pros ... I go for the taste and service. That makes customers come back. This is my third time , and going for more... not to expensive the price is just right and fills you up. Check out the Pita Kitchen.....

Amazing - the Baba Ganouche is scruptious. Pita chips were melt in your mouth good. Chicken and rice absolutely delicious. Super affordable - not a ton of ambiance, but the food is the star of the show here.

Excellently prepared. Great customer service. The schwarma and gyro are great, hummus and greek salad fantastic. I wish I lived closer to eat here every day!

Your Gyro yumminess Hit this place up and was impressed by the fast service, tasty food, portion size, and nice owner. The gyro meat is very tender and is missing the nasty oiliness I've come to expect from other Greek restaurants. The pita fries were new to me I polished them off. Tip: There's an occasional coupon in the West Valley View that makes a visit a great deal.

I've been to Pita Kitchen a few times now. I first found this place about a year and a half ago when I was in town visiting family. Tony Stark from Avengers left me wondering what the heck shawarma was. So I searched Yelp and found this great place. I have ordered the chicken shawarma, with pita chips and hummus each time I have been there. It has been delicious every time. Thank you Pita Kitchen, I will be back next time I am in town.

I admit to being confused by the review posted before mine: to compare this place to the Golden Greek is like comparing McDonald's to the Russian Tea Room! Granted, they both serve Greek food; but no matter what your opinion about the Golden Greek (and mine isn't good: see my review of them!), this place is, like most "Greek" places in the Valley, a pseudo-fast food restaurant, while the Golden Greek serves actual meals. I also don't get the line about the pita bread: the pita bread here is of the cheapest sort: fluffy and thick. You may like that; but "real" pita bread is like the ones served at the Golden Greek and Haji Baba's (for example): thin and doughy. Prices are fair? Yeah, that's about right ... "fair" as in on a scale from "bad" to "excellent": the appetizers (hummus, babaganouj, dolmas, etc.) are priced fairly in comparison to other places, but that doesn't mean they're good: $6+ for a "large" appetizer, which, while "wide" on the plate is not deep, is not "fair". I won't even bother talking about the dolmas, because NOWHERE is that a good deal; it's a top money maker for all Mediterranean restaurants: 5 or 6 dolmas for $ 5.00, when you can get a large can of about 60 or more for the same price (try the market at Baiz or Haji Baba). Now the taste: the hummus was interesting. Tasty and with a touch of cayenne pepper. Very unusual for hummus, but, you know what? It worked: definitely wiped out any expected blandness, but was not strong enough to overpower. Good job there. The babaganouj was strange. Again: tasted good. But it wasn't very "smoky" and the consistency was almost buttery. Both traits very uncommon for this dish. The dolmas were excellent, but obviously straight out of the can. Thankfully, very firm (just the way I like them). The Greek salad was good, but nothing spectacular. For a fast food place like this --- and yes, I'm sorry: I would classify this as a "fast food" joint --- it was especially good. My partner said the chicken shwarma was good, but he was glad he had sides, because it wouldn't have come close to being enough for him by itself (then again, if any of you have read my reviews, you know already that his athletically muscular build hides an enormous appetite ... one day, we went to a buffet and Godzilla was impressed with how much he ate! ... Pretty bad, when you can outeat a Japanese dinosaur). Decor in the restaurant is nice, though, when it's crowded, it's quite noisy: my loss, but obviously their gain ... they're not there to run an empty joint. Seating, however, is VERY limited: we saw two families open the door and leave shortly afterwards: there's only 6 booths and 2 tables, so it doesn't take a lot of people to fill it. Overall, if you have a craving for Mediterranean food and are willing to not expect a whole lot, then this place is more than acceptable. But it in no way compares to the Golden Greek or any other "real" restaurant, regardless of whether the food is better or not.

The owner takes great pride in his restaurant and it shows. He is always pleasant and has a smile on his face even though he works seven days a week. Everything on the menu is delicious especially the chicken Schwarma and the homemade pita chips and cilantro jalapeno hummus. Skip the chains and go to this establishment. Best of the best.
(5)Rose K.
I decided to try this place out because of all the fantastic reviews I read. The reviews don't lie, this place is wonderful. The place is small and very cute. When I walked up to order I was greeted very politely and the man at the register gave me suggestions since it was my boyfriend and my first time there. We both got the gyro one with pita and hummus and the other with the Greek fries(?). The hummus is good, I have only ever had hummus at pita jungle. Their hummus was much different but very tasty. The fries though! They were absolutely delicious. The gyro came in a warm pita, and the meat was hot and topped with tomatoes, onions and their fantastic tzatiki(?). I think the thing that upset me most about eating here was not having enough room in my stomach to eat every last bite. The staff is very polite, and the food is amazing. This place is now one of my go-to places.
(5)Heather J.
My family stopped in for the first time today and were really surprised in how dead the place was. The portions were huge and the food was yummy. The fries were just okay but the gyro and the schwarma were great!
(4)Jimmy J.
Fantastic! I have eaten MANY Gyros and this was the best. The fried pita chips with hummus is a brilliant idea! (also good with ketchup) Quality stuff here, clean place, friendly staff. Give it a try!
(5)Ella M.
Brand spankin' new place on the west side. I was excited when I saw the word Pita because that automatically brings goodies like Gyros and hummus to mind! I was greeted with a smile by the guy behind the counter. The menu isn't big, but there is a good selection of Greek deliciousness. I went with "old faithful" and had a gyro. I decided on the hummus and pita chips as my side (you can choose from the hummus and pita chips or fries) The hummus was good and the pita chips were very tasty. Not too crunchy and not just warmed bread. Now to the gyro. Uh..."I believe I ordered the LARGE cappuccino! HELLO!" (If you get that movie reference give yourself a flying knuckle bump with a massive explosion at the end because YOU ROCK! This thing was HUGE! Fully loaded (I chose no onions because...no me gusta raw onions) with tomatoes and a very flavorful tzatziki. The pita bread was perfect and didn't fall apart as it has at other establishments. Very worth the money and very close by! I'll be frequenting this and now I have more to choose from on 99th and McDowell on my way home!
(4)Tiffany H.
This is my third visit in about a month, and I finally decided to write a review. This place is really amazing, I always saw it because my sister loves the Chipotle next door but I can't stand that place, so I decided to try it out and I have not regretted the decision. I always get the food to go, so I can't comment much on the service, but the worker at ordering is always super friendly, even with my weird order of separating everything.(Sometimes there is too much sauce and the pita gets soggy on To Go orders) The only thing I've ordered so far is the Chicken Shawarma combo with Pita chips and hummus. But that's because it's just so good I can't get myself to order something else because I always crave it.
(5)Kiki L.
Great food, great atmosphere, and great service for casual dining! Best quick Greek fix!
(5)Boyoung K.
I was driving through Phoenix and was looking for a place to eat. I actually saw a sign waving person, and was totally excited because I was CRAVING Greek food for a while. Firstly, this place is awesome because they have AC which is a bonus in Phoenix. Secondly, they have free wifi, and thirdly they have a yelp check in deal...im sold! Most importantly, their food was really good. I ordered a combo kebab and a "spanakopita" and both were really delish! The pita here is nice a warm, and the meat was flavorful and juicy. The spanakopita had a great flaky crusty. I really loved the sauces here too, the garlic sauce was an excellent addirion ro the kebab. I also have to give major props for the service. The person who took my order was really friendly and totally made the experiecne wonderful. If i ever go back to Phoenix, totally stopping by. Thank you Pita Kitchen!
(5)Kristin L.
My husband and I went in here for the first time a few days ago after reading the stellar reviews. We were not disappointed - though I am a huge fan of Pita Jungle's hummus, the hummus at Pita Kitchen is great. Different (it's warm instead of cold, and they don't have red bell pepper, which is my favorite), but very tasty. Oh, and their pita bread? Fresh, warm, amazing. All of the food we tried was wonderful, especially the Greek fries. Oh man, am I sucker for Greek fries! The employees are very friendly and helpful as well. Love this place, we will definitely be going back very soon!
(5)Ana P.
We LOOOOOOVE this restaurant! There are quite a few restaurants at this intersection, but this one is the best. Excellent authentic food, genuine service, family-owned, they go out of their way to make your experience great. Prices are good, service does not lag time-wise. It's just a great place, whether you're eating in or taking out.
(5)Sen L.
This place is legit. The pita bread is warm and soft, not everyone might dig it but DAMN SON the cilantro jalapeno hummus is the bomb. Like my other homre had said earlier, get the Greek Fries unless you don't like fantastical flavor explosion in your mouth. The staff is CHILLL dawg, they answered all the stupid questions I had and were friendly the whole way through. Drinks were served quickly and food up prompt. I don't know why you are still reading this, if you are hungry and ain't a hater for food go get it. oh and it's pretty light on the wallet. peace.
(5)Lou C.
This is the best Greek restaurant I've been to in Arizona. Besides the food, the service is second to none, and the place is always very clean. It's well worth the drive, no matter what part of the Valley you live in.
(5)Joyce F.
oh my! love this place. went there once a week while traveling for work and i wish i was there now. ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich with garlic sauce and hummus. the sandwich is big so i didn't finish it but the garlic sauce is something. the pita chips with the hummus are amazing. crunchy but soft in the middle. to die for.
(5)Mike A.
This place gets it. Although busy at lunch, greeted with a smile. Order was at my table pretty quickly. My order was right, but I saw many folks send theirs back because it was wrong. I am picky when it comes to gyros, these were awesome! My second time there, and I will be back.
(5)Shawn G.
I will not be going back to this restaurant for a long time if ever again. I always order the chicken kabob Greek salad with the chicken chopped to avoid undercooked chicken yet the chicken has been pink on many occasions. In my last salad the "hand chopped" tomatoes were too large. Literally, a whole tomatoe was cut into 4 pieces. The cucumbers were old transparent and soggy and there was not much lettuce. I also ordered the large hummus which was of a pudding consistency with too much lemon added. And i usually get 2 pita breads with my order and today i got 4, all with yellow spots..perhaps they add butter now? I called to inform them of my unsatisfied order and was interrupted while I was going over what was wrong. Only redeeming factor was their offer to remake my food but after having it made so many times with unsafe chicken I could not accept that as a solution. I don't know if they changed cooks but everything was prepared different today. I liked coming here knowing I could eat a healthy meal when I was crunched on time but now it seems that is not the case anymore. Next time I want Greek food I will go to 59th ave and olive.
(1)Derrick C.
Short and simple review: this place is yummy! Great value!
(5)Liz C.
Reimun from Pita Kitchen did everything to make the situation better, Today I tried the #8 chicken and hummus! Delicious....and Reimun made sure that everything was perfect!! Will come back!! Thank you Reimun!
(5)Brian T.
So, I rarely write reviews, because I am either always running late for something or I am just not that easily impressed I suppose. However, what gets my attention is consistency! When the food is consistently fresh, tastes good, and always better than you expect it or remember it, that is noteworthy. So, if you haven't checked this place out yet, then you're missing out. Take it from a natural skeptic. Keep it up PITA KITCHEN! A+++
(5)Mariana V.
Food is exceptional, this is one of my favorite lunch spots! The staff goes above and beyond too
(5)Chris B.
great Gyro !!! my wife and I have been here 2 times and the gyro is very good and the service was good as well. Looking forward to going back and trying something else!!
(5)Keenan M.
Stopped in for some Mediterranean comfort food and boy were me and my wife impressed! Our first couple of experiences eating here where so so which left me apprehensive about eating here again. Today's customer service and food where absolutely fantastic and I commend them for the excellent presentation of their dishes and the overall taste. I love Cane's (especially the Cane's sauce) so I will have some tough decisions to make in the future.
(5)Andre T.
I haven't been here in over a year and this place still rocks. 5 star, still the best Gyro's in town.
(5)Beth C.
Hello, new favorite restaurant! Pita Kitchen lives up to the Yelp hype. No wonder this place is always crowded. I had the chicken shawarma entree with Greek salad. Oh, that chicken. Tender, loaded with seasoning, not dry at all. The rice made for a delicious bed for the chicken. I'm a total salad snob, and I loved the Greek salad. Great mix of flavors and I liked that it took up half the plate. Good, healthy eats! Then there was the pita bread. I have never eaten fresh pita bread before! I think of pita bread as the thick, stiff stuff from grocery stores. No more. THIS is good bread. Warm, pliable, and delicious. My husband had the steak shawarma entree. He loved it. The piece of his tri-tip that I grabbed was quite tasty. He had the fries instead of the salad and said they were average fries, which was just fine by him. The woman at the counter was very helpful as we took our orders--we were obviously newbies. Our food came out within about ten minutes, which said something considering almost every table was full that Friday evening. We also watched a steady stream of customers getting take-out orders. Once we had the food, we understood why.
(4)Jason S.
Never had a bad meal here, until today. Maybe it was just an off day for the pita boys. I always get the #1 combo. Today, the pita bread was dry/hard and the meat was actually hard on the edge. The pita chips and hummus was good. Will return again, normally the food is delicious.
(4)Bridget A.
This is our second time coming here and each time we were blown away from the excellent customer service and delicious food! The chicken Schwarma was exquisite according to my husband and my falafel gyro was amazing! I also liked that there were Greek beers available. we are definitely going to be regulars here.
(5)Melissa C.
This has become my favorite Greek food destination. The food taste so fresh. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The place is so immaculately clean you can eat off the floor and if you go at lunch you may have to because people have started to find this gem and it gets busy. We had to share a table with strangers one day because there wasn't a spot left so I hope the expand. Everything I've had has been wonderful and I literally dream about their hummus. My husband loves that he can have a beer but we can still get in and out in 30 min. They don't skimp on portions at all and I often wish I had shared with my husband. Highly recommend!
(5)Tattoo Trav P.
This is by far the best Greek restaurant in the valley. And I would venture to say the best restaurant in the west valley. Fresh delicious great customer service. Welcoming atmosphere.
(5)Yingyang P.
Awesome food and very friendly staff and always nice and clean ! Got the nr 1,8,3 and the brushetta yum !
(5)Sanford R.
This place is well-deserving of its rating. My wife and I were impressed. For starters the staff is welcoming and exceptionally friendly. They seem like they genuinely care about customers and that is refreshing to see. The food is very good, but maybe just shy of outstanding. I did like everything I tried though from the Spanakopita to the gyros. As far as costs I wouldn't say it's a great deal, but the prices are fair and about average. One thing I really loved about this place was that they actually played unique ethnic music. It beats the annoying pop music that the majority of places play and really added something to the experience. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I am looking forward to returning for a second visit.
(4)Mouly B.
The food is delicious. The garlic sauce on the side tastes amazing with just about everything you order. The service was amazing. I was waiting in line to ask for a side of garlic when one of the servers passing by asked me if there was anything he could help me with and I said I was waiting to order the side of garlic and he said he would get it for me so I didn't have to wait in line. Very helpful staff. The hummus was delicious so was the falafel wrap. The veggies were very fresh. The servers were very efficient. The order was on time. Good place to try. I highly recommend it.
(5)Cynthia Q.
Best pitas hands down! Just try it!
(5)Chris Z.
This is a great casual restaurant. The food tastes amazing. The prices are fair (and don't forget that check in bonus). The staff are always friendly. I've been a loyal fan of Golden Greek for years. And I may have found a new favorite gyro in the valley. If only they could have GG's puffy pitas! The Greek fries are amazing. The reddish/pink dipping sauce is addictive. And the rice tastes great. I do kind of wish that the shwarma wraps had a sour pickle in them but that is probably just a personal preference. I'd recommend this to anyone that wants casual Mediterranean food in the west valley.
(5)Chris M.
Excellent food, value, and service. The Greek salad with chicken is all I have had, because I keep ordering the same thing. Multiple hot sauce options, very fast, and such good quality and quantity. Not sure how anyone would be dissatisfied! Also the guys working are very pleasant.
(5)Viviana G.
Best Greek food in town!!! Everything is made fresh, and it tastes delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. Place is very clean. I crave this food all the time, especially their chicken, rice and salad. Pita chips are out of this world! They are must try.
(5)Lashawn S.
Good food. This restaurant has a bit of a 'fast food' lobby set up, but the food is very good. Prices are reasonable and the staff is nice. We visited during a trip through Arizona. . . I had the vegetarian plate (of course) - The falafel was very tasty - not the best I've ever had, but certainly in the top three! If we're in Arizona again, we know where we're eating.
(5)Judy L.
My husband loved this place so much, he went twice in 1 day. He went there for lunch. When I got home from work and said I was too tired to cook, he offered to pick up food for dinner. I got the combo dinner (gyro and chicken). I am a fan of the chicken, hummus, and pita. The gyro meat....NOT so much. I am never a fan of the gyro always.
(4)Melissa S.
This place has the most amazing food and service. Their gyros are by far the best we have found in Phoenix . And their Greek fries are so addicting they are a must have when you visit this place.
(5)Earl H.
The food is delicious! You have to get the pita bread chips; perfect balance between soft and crunchy. The gyro meat is seasoned well and tasty and everything was brought out fairly quick. I will definitely come back for more :-)
(5)Roland W.
We needed a quick, casual meal before dropping the car off for service. Thanks to yelp Pita Kitchen was just what we needed. Local business, great Greek food, all at a reasonable price. I had the Greek Salad with chicken, my partner had a Chicken Shish Ka Bob. Both were excellent and ample portions.
(5)MariaElena H.
Definitely a winner. We ordered a chicken schwarma and bruschetta because I was not too hungry and wanted to share. The food was more than enough and DELICIOUS! I'm not a fan of tomatoes but thoroughly enjoyed the tomatoes. The service is also exceptional, and I could tell they are appreciative of the business. We were happy to see the small restaurant was packed the entire time we were eating. Can't wait to return!
(5)Jessica D.
First time eating here and I must say the food and the service was amazing! We weren't familiar with the food and the cashier/ server was so helpful. Chicken greek salad, Chicken Kabob and the pita bread were excellent! Thank you!
(5)Tara G.
Stopped here because of the 4.5 star rating. Was not disappointed. We ordered an eggplant pita and a chicken shawarma pita. Both were amazing. The owner was kind and welcoming. I highly recommend them. And if you check in you get 10% off your bill. I had already paid and sat down before I checked in, so I didn't use mine. But nonetheless the prices are quite reasonable and the food is fresh and tasty!
(5)Trent K.
Great schwarma and rice. Tasted as good as haji babas or princess deli in Tempe. Glad to have a place like this on the west side.
(4)Jennifer M.
I can never get myself to try anything new because the #1 with Greek fries forever has its hold on me! I know I'm missing out on a lot of other great options also and maybe one day I'll give in but today is not the day. First off, always, I repeat always go for the upgrade and get the Greek fries! There is a vinaigrette of some sort they put on their fries that give those frenchies an extra pop of delicious flavor. Secondly, I'm never disappointed with my gyro here. The flavors are always on point and the amount of meat they put in the pita is more than substantial. You definitely get more then what you pay for here and I couldn't be happier that it's just down the road from me!
(5)Victoria G.
This place is A-OK. A solid 3 stars. I travel a lot and admittedly I'm a tough critic when it comes to Greek/Mediterranean restaurants. I usually order the same thing (the Mediterranean Sampler, i.e. vegetarian mezze platter) at every place, so I have a pretty good gauge on these things... That being said... This place is good, especially for where it's located. But nothing really stood out as over-the-top AMAZING. However, I'd be happy to go back. Portion sizes seemed on-par with the pricing. Service was slow but friendly. Food quality (i.e. taste, freshness, etc.) was A-OK. You won't go wrong going here - but it's not a standout experience. Just good ole' Greek food in a fast-food setting. My partner ordered a Greek salad with salmon on top. It was all prepared well - but again, very basic and nothing that stood out to us.
(3)B C.
I was definitely a fan. The location is kind of a biscuit to get into because the parking lot is always crazy packed. Inside it was fine when i went. I got the gyro as I always do at Mediterranean places. Also rice and salad.... I liked it and will go back.
(5)Anisa G.
Definitely will come back again, I had the chicken Chipotle pita with Greek fries on the side and it was delicious! ! (:
(5)Matthew S.
So it is 7:30 PM when I order my food revived it at 7.45 not bad. There were 2 other tables dining in. They seem to be more of a grab and go. I have seen 3 people pick up food to go and there are 3 more waiting. Cleanliness it is not very clean. As I look around there are 2 tables that have crumbs on the tables and chairs. I had to wipe down my own table and the sign they gave me as an order number was gross. I used a napkin to touch it. I actually thought of leaving but I allready paid so I am going to try it. Notice my plate had finger marks from oily gloves I assume. Food. 4 out of 5. It was good and I would come back if it was cleaner. I know they want to keep cost down but I would pay more to eat at a clean restaurant. As is I will not be back.
(3)Melissa W.
We had another great meal here. This is a fun place to eat and try something different. The trio is amazing. The staff is great.
(4)Steven T.
Delicious! Best Greek food I've ever had. Food is excellent and the service is amazing. Food is always fresh. My favorite restaurant in town by far.
(5)Misty M.
This place is not worth what they charge, its nothing compared to what the food is really suppose to taste like.
(1)Tricia B.
Best Greek food in town! They are always so friendly and their food is always on point. I would recommend this place to any of my friends. I'm sad I won't be in Phoenix anymore to enjoy this delicious food!
(5)Alfredo S.
I had the "Mediterranean Sampler," I swapped the Dolmas for more Falafels and it wasnt too bad. Hummus had great flavor, and the Falafels were cooked perfectly! Will definetly be back, helps me avoid the drive to Pita Jungle!
(3)DeeJayy F.
I ate here about a month ago. My fiancée wanted Chipotle but I decided to venture out and try a Gyro from here. I ordered it to go but when I got home it was still steaming hot. The meat had so much flavor and wasn't dry at all. The gyro was so large my fiancée ended up eating half and he loved it. It was his first time ever eating one and he is looking forward to going back. Friendly staff and great food make this a wonderful place to eat! My only gripe is that the Baklava was possibly the worst I've ever had. It was extremely salty and just terrible. Skip the desserts!
(5)DeNaya B.
This place IS the bomb! I tried it with my bestie strictly on a whim based on successful Yelp reviews and I must say that this has far exceeded my expectations!!!!!! I ordered the chicken shawarma pita and Greek fries ( it was my first time having them) everything was so good.
(5)Chad R.
Fresh. Delicious. So much flavor happening, glad they are not closer cause I would be here everyday.
(5)Joan A.
Cheap and delicious. What more could you want? Pita Kitchen might possibly be my favorite greek place in the valley. I dont know why Ive only tried it now. Upon walking in, you go straight to the counter to order then find yourself a table. Food came out in good time - around 10-15 mins. Everything I've tried was so delicious. All the hummus came with warm, soft, and pillowy pita bread (the cilantro jalapeno hummus was especially yummy. Not too spicy). The meats were soft and flavorful. I love their entrees cause you can try out several types of food in one meal. I got the steak shawarma plate and you can customize it to your liking. Mines came with the meat, rice, cilantro jalapeno hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce. Oh...THE GARLIC SAUCE. I can't explain how good it is. Get it as a side for anything you order and dip all things in it. Its amazingly good and might be my favorite thing on the menu. Its a good dip for pitas, meats, greek fries...everything! And it's only $0.50!
(5)Lola M.
We had the chicken shawarma, jalapeño and cilantro hummus with pita bread and the Greek garlic fries (with Feta cheese). The chicken shawarma comes with a variety of dipping sauces, I chose the garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is delicious. We love the food here and plan on returning. They offer a 10% discount for Yelp check-ins.
(5)Jose B.
The food is ok nothing special. We went for lunch and food took almost 40 minutes to receive.
(1)Veggie Foodie I.
Pita Kitchen has perfected fries! It's the best fries I've ever had in my life, bar none. They're crispy and packs a lot of flavor punch. I got the Greek fries, but unfortunately can't have feta cheese and defeats the purpose. But, the staff accommodated my allergy. Imagine, if you do get the Greek fries like how it's intended to be, I think you'll be in heaven. Make sure you get the dressing in and on the fries, yum! Haven't had anything else but what is mentioned above and falafel sandwich, which I had years ago and unfortunately think is not memorable. But give this place a chance.
(3)Ilona K.
Love love love this place. Excellent food every time. And the service is always great. I highly recommend the schwarma, either chicken or steak, and the Greek fries. I crave Pita Kitchen often and it never disappoints.
(5)Mohammad N.
On my road trip to San Diego, I knew I was going to get hungry and the excellent reviews drew me to Pita Kitchen. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma to go and was super excited to dive in, but there was one major thing missing. I had asked for the sauce to be on the side and instead there was no sauce whatsoever. I could tell the chicken was well-marinated, but without any sauce, it just was not the same. I was already too far from the restaurant to go back and ask for a side so it was a little bit of a let down to eat a somewhat dry pita. The chicken comes in a hefty portion which I can appreciate, but the lettuce/tomato portion was pretty minute compared to the overall portion of the chicken. I am sure the pita would have been delicious with the sauce, I just wish it hadn't been forgotten in my order.
(3)Sabrina G.
Excellent food, excellent service. We were new to try this and was unsure of some of the menu items. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. We had chicken pittas with the garlic sauce. Good sized portion. We will return to try other menu items.
(5)Katrina L.
This was my favorite place to eat their chicken Greek salad was the best!! And my girls loved the pita chips! However the last time I was there the food just wasn't the same! It will not be my first pick like it used to be.
(3)Diane T.
I must say im BEYOND amazed of the FLAVOR!!! We got The Chicken Chipotle Pita & Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus & Baklava (which we had to get another order beyond ridiculous filled with flavor) and had to save the last for THE BEST GREEK FRIES EVER!!!! If you haven't tried this place you MUST! Also the Staff is beyond nice and welcoming!! If I could give Pita Kitchen 10 stars I would!!!
(5)Steve R.
The best Pita spot in town by far. Ordered the steak shawarma and must admit it was gone in 60 seconds (maybe a lil longer than that) and I wanted another one to take home. Very fresh and soft pita bread, juicy tender steak melted in my mouth, and what a perfect blend of ingredients for a well rounded taste combination. Will definitely be coming back and bringing others here as much as possible. Last, but most important by far would be the bible scriptures on the wall proclaiming the Truth and making it known that their success comes from God. Great job Pita Kitchen!!! John3:16 // Mark8:36 // Luke9:23 // Matthew5:16 #gotJesus?
(5)Rochelle E.
I called ahead hoping to get my food right away. It was ready, but I still had to wait in line for 10 minutes. Then , after I paid they still didn't have my fries or drinks. Took so long to make the fries my gyros were cold. 25 minutes waiting around total. Wow.
(1)Rebecca C.
The tables were very dirty and the staff seemed way to overwhelmed. The food was okay. I ordered the hummus and asked for a mixed platter of it. They acted like they couldn't split it at first. I would not come here again; I would rather buy hummus at the grocery store.

Came here on a Tuesday evening and the place was busy.(in a good way)..the staff was still able to bring out fresh delicious food in a flash. Mario, the head chef, made sure that my experience was never to be forgotten. This place is simply off of the charts and several days have passed and I still can't stop thinking about the tangy tzaziki sauce and how fresh our food was. If I could give 6 stars I would. Easily my favorite Greek style restaurant. Thank you Mario, owners and staff!

My wife and I moved out here to Phoenix,AZ from California about 6 weeks ago. We are used to eating burgers and fries and tacos and decided to try something new. We came across the pita kitchen and from the moment u walk in the staff were great and made us feel welcome. The food was delicious for trying something new. My wife got the chicken shawarma and I got the steak shawarma in pita. We will definitely come here again!!! Mercy!
(5)Sean M.
Delicious steak shwarma!! Great eats before the cardinals games. Make sure to get the garlic sauce. So good and cost friendly
(5)Dustin C.
Been back several times and love the food here. The only problem is getting a table, such a terrible plight for a small business:) keep up the great work
(5)Gina B.
I was not a fan at all. We had the beef plate and steak schwarma. I liked the hummus but our food was just okay. We waited a while for our food and they weren't even busy. We will definitely not be back. It wasn't horrible just had really high expectations based off the reviews and stars.
(2)Jacob S.
I've had a lot of Greek food in my day, but this is currently in the running for "best Greek" in my book. The service is friendly and attentive and the menu is quite appetizing to look at. Once you make your selection, you're given a table marker and told that your food will be brought right to you. I appreciate this, especially since getting my daughter in a high chair is now my top priority at this moment. When the food comes out, the portion size will surprise you (in a good way) and the taste will exceed any expectations you've had. I've been there twice this week and I'll be sure to become a regular at this delicious Greek joint.
(4)Sarah L.
You must try the jalapeño-cilantro hummus. It's so good! I've had it with and without meat and I like it best with chicken. Yum! I am a bariatric patient and requested cucumber in lieu of pita bread; only $1 to substitute. The customer service is A+.
(5)Greg N.
Great food. We ate there last month while visiting family. We will make this stop every time we come through town. We just wish we lived closer. Delicious food for a good value in a pleasant environment.
(5)Sonny S.
DELICIOUS! I have not had such good mediterranean/greek food on the west side since I moved to Arizona 10 years ago. The garlic sauce is simply TO DIE FOR! Greek fries are highly recommended, and the dressing that comes with them divine. Restaurant hummus doesn't usually impress me, but theirs is top notch! Creamy, smooth, with a hint of garlic. The meats were well marinaded and each had its own unique, distinctive flavor. How to improve on perfection? Our entrees each came with a single pita bread. I might suggest offering two pitas with each meal. One was not enough and two would be just about right. Baklava was excellent. My husband - who is half Lebanese - remarked that it tastes just like his dad used to make. And here's the kicker... Here you can get two large, homemade-quality meals for just about the same price as fast food. This is going to be my go-to place for picking up dinner on my way home from work. Bravo!
(5)Sean W.
Pita Kitchen is one of those hidden jewels in the west valley. The Chicken Kabob entree is one of my favorites. If you are looking for great food and service, dine at Pita Kitchen.
(5)Ruben L.
Shawarm now or shawarm later? I am a huge fan of this place. The chicken kabob is so good, especially coupled with hummus. The staff is always friendly and if you are either taking out or dining in the service is superb. There are many places to eat at in the Gateway Pavillions area. Do yourself a favor and go to one that is unique (non burger, non chicken fingers) and let the great tasting Mediterranean food wake up your taste buds. I am not sure if they still have this, but if you check in on Yelp, they offer 10% off your bill.
(5)Lu W.
This is amazing and great food! So so fresh and excellent flavors! We had the sampler platter - superb! I have never had such fresh delicious pita bread and the chicken schwarma pita was so full of meat and flavor! Cannot say enough and the service was also top notch!
(5)Samantha G.
I ate at PK earlier this week.. I was not only happy the staff was so pleasant and accommodating to my no carb diet and willing to substitute more greens for the rice, but the food was DELICIOUS!!! I feel like I am cheating on my diet, but I am not.... Going again tonight with my kiddos!!
(5)Chris R.
I had falafel plate with Greek salad. 1 falafel with no flavor, small salad too much onion. For $10 after 10% yelp coupon it wasn't worth it.
(2)Philip S.
One of my FAVORITE places to eat.. Staff always friendly, food is always amazing! I love the Gyros Pita with some garlic sauce on the side.
(5)Pam P.
We love this place. This is our #1 to go for Greek Food. The gyro salad, pita chips and hummus, Tabouli Salad... YUMMILICIOUS!
(5)Johan A.
After moving from New York City I didn't think I would find a good gyro like I could get off any gyro cart. This place is awesome and it's my go to whenever I get the craving.
(4)Scott M.
The food here is incredible. My wife and love eating here. We always order the gyro and Greek fries. The Greek fries have so much feta cheese sprinkled on there that we use a fork to eat what is on the bottom after the fries are gone. Decent portions. I have tried many other Greek restaurants and this one is in my top two. I will be back.
(5)Ronnie D.
I'm not greek so i cant say that this place is authentic. But the first time my wife and i came here we were absolutely blown away by the food here. Fresh and vibrant flavors. If you want to expand your horizons and try a diffrent cusine, this place will be a good starting point. The restaurant maybe small buy it is clean and have friendly staff. Also, you get a 10% discount on your entire meal when you check in.on yelp.
(4)Tessa S.
Love this place! The staff is so friendly! The food is authentic and full of flavor!!!
(5)Tennille B.
I love this place though tonight was not a good night for them. We waited a really long time for our food and then the foods was over cooked. 3 of us ordered. . My son got his food...5 min I got my side of fries...10 min later I asked for my spouses soup...it was delivered 5 mins later. Then 10 mins after he delivered the entrees. At this point my son ate all of his food as we just started. Salmon & chicken shawarma was over cooked. It was dry and hard to eat. The owner or manger was too busy having sushi with his girl to manage the kitchen 4 groups after us were served their food before it's was and the server didn't know what table got what food. That is my only complaint for them but will try again. If I have another poor service night I may need to find another place.
(3)Rossi M.
Gosh this place is so great. Service was excellent food was delicious and everything was very pleasing will definitely be coming back again. YUMMM.
(5)Dale C.
A friendly staff and good food is always a great combo. I have always ordered the chicken kabob entree and have never been disappointed. Make sure you have 15 minutes to wait for the goodness that is about to be devoured.
(4)Charles F.
Went back a 2nd time this past weekend. Again really impressed. Really wish they would open in Goodyear!
(5)Aislene D.
I love Greek food. I'm always up for trying a new place. I thought this location would be awesome because the decor was pretty but not so much. The people are decent, and the scenery is ok, I'll give them that much. But it seems every time I go to this restaurant they ALWAYS get my order wrong. I've been here a few times and every time it's messed up. The food is ok, not the best. I feel 1 star is a bit harsh for messed up food so I suppose 2 will do. I'm not one to complain to the people who make your food so I just bite my tongue, and accept it as a loss. It's really annoying when you specifically ask not just a couple times, because of a food allergy, for it a certain way and it's wrong. I won't be spending any more time and money here.
(2)Max J.
Great gyros, pita bread and falafel. Very friendly service and clean restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good Mediterranean food.
(5)Chad P.
Simple food, this place is great. Reminded me a little of Kasakhstan. Great taste to the hummus and the main dinner meal ... combo kabob was amazing. I live close to here and never stopped in because I love Rumbies too much. The service here is great and the staff are very friendly and mild mannered. Great atmosphere, not noisy.....thank you.....and not crowded at all, came in at about 7:30pm. The music is very relaxing as well, can't forget that. We will definitely be back. I want to try their gyros next time. This place will come highly recommended at work.
(5)Michael S.
Our first time here. The place was packed and I had to have my wife grab the only table as it literally was cleaned off and I ordered. There were people hanging out waiting for to go orders. We ordered a gyro combo each and pita and hummus. So the hummus was very good and the pitas are very good. The gyro meat was a little dry and crispy on some of the ends. The fries were fries. Nothing gross but nothing special. The price although not very high I felt could be a little less expensive. However, we did leave very full. I was kind of digging the mediterranean music that was playing in the place. I think we would try it again. The service was very friendly.
(3)Leah S.
Usually a pita jungle fan but this place puts them to same. This is some of the best chicken kabob and hummas I think I have ever had! Not truly a quick serve restaurant but worth the wait!
(5)Bill J.
Loved it. My families favorite was the Spanakopita , The Mediterranean Sampler was superb. Their home made hummus is famtastic. My family and I will definitely return to explore other dishes off their menu.
(5)Monique L.
There isn't a pita jungle in this area but now that I found pita kitchen I don't mind at all. I had the chicken swarmaza (not sure how to spell it) with a Greek salad. The chicken was moist and had so much flavor. They even offered gold peak tea *my favorite. Javier had the beef gyro with fries. He said it tasted good but next time will get the salad instead of the fries. We also shared some baklava. I have had better but I'm willing to try It again especially since baklava is one of my favorite desserts.
(5)Nick T.
Have been here multiple times and one time it's excellent and the next.....not so much. Gyros has been great every time though so that's why I gave it 4 stars.
(4)j r.
This place is in a very busy shopping center small restaurant with about 15 tables.the food tastes and looked really fresh and really made to order a bit expensive but I guess you pay for good quality that's why I would definitely be returning soon.
(4)LaToya B.
First impression very busy during lunch. The lady at the cash register was able to provide a recommendation which is a plus in my book. Casual atmosphere and clean. The lady told me they've been at this location for two years. I guess I've passed it up several times. I am always over here shopping at Old Navy and Justice for my youngest. Now for the food. It smells delicious! It is enough for two people. It was a little salty for me but everything is salty since I've been pregnant. The rice was perfect with the exception of a few hard pieces but that happens everywhere. The lady came out to check on me. I'm now starting to think that she is the owner. I couldn't eat it all. I felt bad because I was wasting food. Nevertheless I will return. I'm interested in tasting the other items on the menu. I'm anxious to try the humus. I love a good humus.
(4)Danno T.
The food is pretty good but we waited for 30 minutes only to find out our food wasn't even started. They definitely need new management and a new kitchen crew that gives a shit about their customers. I personally will not be coming back here again. Such a disappointment.
(1)James A.
Ok, these guys NEVER have a bad day in the kitchen. I suspect some sorcery, come on give me something to complain about guys!
(5)Nikki J.
They have totally redeemed themselves from my last visit. I am so glad! Their food is seriously awesome, still and once again. Thank you to Rian, Raymond, and Mario the owners! The food today was like it always has been, awesome. The rice, chicken, and beef were cooked and hot. The salad was great. We learned that they are getting, or have, a system to be able to order online at pitakitchen.net so we won't have to wait on the phone. I'm once again so glad that they have redeemed their 5 star status as they truly are one of my favorite restaurants to go for lunch.
(5)Angie N.
Had the chicken shawarma plate - DELICIOUS, the rice was fantastic. I didn't really care for the dips/sauces, but the dressing for the greek salad was good. The feta cheese was nice and fresh. My boyfriend had the gyros platter and he loved it. Our daughter had the pitadilla that came with fries - it was pretty freaking fantastic. The pita bread was very good too. Wasn't a huge fan of the hummus, but I've never really been a hummus fan in general. My boyfriend likes hummus and he wasn't wowed by it either. Everything else though, pretty good! It's a small place, but they're quick, great prices, and good food. We did takeout.
(4)Tammy M.
I was in an area of town that I don't know well so, of course, I used Yelp to assist me with lunch plans. First, Pita Kitchen is super convenient - right off I-10 and 99th Avenue. When I walked in, the place was buzzing. In fact, every table was filled but fortunately, one group was waiting for a to-go order so my colleague grabbed their table. It's a walk-up order situation. A super friendly smiling woman helped advise our order. She was hyper knowledgeable about the menu. My colleague ordered a Gyro with hummus and I got the mediterranean salad with chicken. We also got a side of jalapeño cilantro hummus. Wow! This hummus is flat out delicious and all servings were generous. We were served in a very timely manner, loved the food and will definitely go back when in the area.
(5)Morgan B.
Let me start of by saying that I am a Greek food aficionado. Greek salad would be my last meal if I had to choose. This place is BY FAR the best Greek in the valley. I got the gyro salad with a pita and tatziki...and I've been thinking about it ever since. Yelp will NOT steer you wrong about this place. It's not fancy, but it's the best food and you definitely get more than you pay for. Pay at the counter and take a seat with your number. The staff is extremely friendly ad came to make sure my food was to my liking. Overall, if you're craving Greek this is the #1 place in the valley.
(5)Chris C.
This place is the bomb; always fast, and always delicious. Not to mention it has a great atmosphere with friendly staff. I feel like family when I walk in this place. A must visit!
(5)Jake V.
Best gyros in town. Weekly visit is a must. The fries are great and the rice is awesome.
(5)Gloria S.
Hummus was excellent. Falafel pita was subpar it said garbanzo mixed with cilantro. Cilantro overpowered it. The pita is very messy and tends to break apart.
(3)Gerry G.
Despite the other reviews, I thought the food was good. I gave it three stars because the wait is somewhat lengthy. I think it would help if they had more cooks in the kitchen. Probably not the place to go if you're in a pinch for lunch. Prices are decent. A little pricey for some dishes. Update: they forgot about my order. Total wait time was 45 mins. Avoid this place during lunch hour. Changed to 2 star rating.
(2)Ru M.
The gentleman greeted us right away, kindly explained the different sauces they had. Food was great ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita: $6.79 Chicken Breast Marinated in A Special Seasonings, Flame Broiled on a Vertical Skewer, Topped with Lettuce Tomato, Onions, and your choice of Tahini Sauce, or Garlic Sauce.
(4)Deni G.
Always Fresh and Always good I have always enjoyed eating at Pita Kitchen, the service is exceptional and you always leave wanting more. The serving sizes are generous. Today, my friends and I ordered the hummus for an appetizer, and we split a few Chicken Chipotle Pita Wraps. If you like hummus at all, you need to try it, you won't be disappointed. If hummus isn't for you Pita Kitchen offers a wide variety of entrée selections. There are salads and great desserts. The service is always friendly, courteous, and the food is always fresh and delicious.
(4)Maria B.
This place is AWESOME!!! I ordered food and took some Sriracha Sauce with me so I could put some on my food. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. Halfway through my place I noticed I never added Sriracha Sauce!!! Sign that my food was ON POINT filled with delicious flavor and didn't need added flavor. Very happy it's near my home!
(5)Andrew K.
This is the best Greek food in town. The chicken schwarma is fantastic, and the garlic sauce (by request) tops it off perfectly. Every item I've tried on the menu is very good. Ryan, the owner, is exceptionally kind, as are his staff. My only gripe is the fountain water (it's quite distasteful), but I'm not going to the Pita Kitchen for their water; I go for their amazing food, very reasonable prices, and top notch customer service.
(5)Nancy S.
This place has great food and great service. Always get the combo platter when passing by the area.
(5)Rebecca A.
Yummy! All of it - found this place searching yelp so glad we stopped in. If you love Greek food this is a great little treasure!
(5)Beauty I.
love it love it! get some! hummus is amazing ...mmmhmm
(5)Neil S.
Excellent food.. Great people working behind the counter.. The pita are always fresh and there is never a long wait for your food. And the owner is almost always the one taking your order.
(5)Rowdy R.
The decor inside isn't anything fancy, but once you get past that you are greeted by a friendly smile. They have Greek music playing thru their speakers which adds a nice touch. It was nice and cold in the restaurant which is exactly what you want on a summer day in Phoenix. I got a gyro and it was packed with meat and had nice flavor. Overall a nice place for lunch.
(4)Tim M.
Ordered a gyro combo and a combination appetizer, also tasted the beef shawarma. Everything was very good and came out to the table quickly. The gentleman working the counter was also helpful in recommending items and was very friendly. I will definitely be going back there in the near future.
(4)Marissa R.
Good prices and AMAZING food. I love that there is a GOOD middle eastern place on the west side. I love the staff too as they do seem to really care about customers. Its a small place and does eat in and take out orders.
(5)Luciana L.
Not bad. This place doesn't replace my "fave" Mediterranean food restaurant in Glendale but it does the trick if I don't want to drive all the way out there. The place is a little small and if anybody has ever been in that area, the parking SUCKS so try to avoid going during rush hour if possible. There are booths though, which is a plus if you have a toddler.
(3)Yvonne H.
Tonight we dined here for the first time and we were not disappointed. FINALLY some place that serves really fresh and wonderful tasting food :) I had the falafel wrap combo with pita chips and hummus. I loved the flavors from the fresh greens and the hot falafels. For me, I need more of the sauce because I like my wraps a bit on the wet side. I wound up eating it all , no leftovers :( My other half had the Shish Kabob platter with chicken and beef. Although he is not a fan of poultry he found the chicken well seasoned, juicy and the marinade to be awesome. And the rice... he's not a carb fan but loved it! We found everyone behind the counter very pleasant, helpful and cheerful. Lots of interesting food items that I need to try for sure! As one reviewer said "Skip the burger and Go Greek"! ..... Well, at least once and you won't regret it. We're just sorry we haven't been in before now but we definitely will be back.. again .. and again! Thank You Pita Kitchen!!
(5)Jessica W.
Good greek food. Not the absolute best hummus Ive had but it hits the spot when I have a craving. The rice was really good. But if I really want good greek, Ill go to King Gyro.
(3)Stephanie F.
I don't know what sort of seasoning they use for the chicken and steak shawarma, but I thought it was disgusting. The gyro was decent and the baklava was ok.
(1)Tyler G.
Very good food. Never been before and the cashier was very helpful with recommending items, nice staff in general. I had the Chicken Pita with greek fries. Everything was the right temperature, great flavors, and looked good. I also enjoyed the Gold peek teas to the side of the drinks. The potion seems big to me but that's not a problem. Defiantly go if you want greek!
(5)Sam S.
Very friendly staff and great food. I'll definitely be going back.
(4)Sophia C.
I went to Pita Kitchen a few weeks ago, and was very excited to get some decent hummus nearby. The staff was friendly, and seemed to know their menu pretty well. I ordered a the Chicken Shawarma with hummus. They accidentally messed up my order and gave me a greek salad. I'm not really one to complain, but I was really craving some hummus. I let the staff know, and they apologized and let me keep the salad as they prepped my hummus. The chef came out and apologized again, then late came out a few minute later to make sure we were enjoying our meal. I was very impressed with their customer service and how professional they were. It was as we were getting fine dining customer service in a fast food style restaurant. Overall, the food was great, and the customer service made it that much better. I will definitely be coming by more often!
(4)Miss C.
I have now been to Pita Kitchen twice this week, I suppose that in itself says something. Checked out this place for the first time when I went with a friend of mine on Tuesday, we went less than an hour before closing and still received very prompt and exceptionally courteous service....very awesome. Said friend and I both got the Gyro pita, generous portion and very fresh pita, it was definitely tasty. The meat was tender. Also inside the pita is tomatoes, onions, and taziki. The onions could be a bit thinner in cut as it was mostly thick slices. And the taziki which they are VERY generous with, is a little thinner than I am used to. Went again today with my mom, she loves Spanakopita, so was excited to find it on the menu. It is listed as an appetizer, so I figured it to be small, and it was, but for the price of less than $3 it was still a good deal. Again, I had the gyro and it was right on with Tuesdays visit. *Note to self: order gyro with taziki on side next time, they are SUPER generous with it! I don't know how the rest of the sides are, but they are generous with the fry portion, making the combo a very filling meal. The regular fries are fine, pretty typical shoestring. The greek fries are not as addictive as they are at My Big Fat with their lemon sauce. However, they are still tasty. They come with extra seasoning, some oregano and feta crumbles. Sprinkle a little lemon on it and they are lovely. What truly stands out at this place is the service. These people are genuinely gracious and appreciative to the customers coming in their restaurant. I don't know if it is just the first week excitement, or if this is how it will always be, but the welcoming demeanor of this place I have seen so far, on top of good food at good prices will definitely keep me coming back. Welcome to the area Pita Kitchen, and thank you for bringing something new to this neighborhood in desperate need of variety and choices!
(5)Luisa V.
We couldn't decide where to eat and finally decided on pita kitchen since it was the closest. We'd never been here and were a bit nervous since the last few Mediterranean/Greek places we'd been to were very disappointing. We ordered our food and the people here were super nice and the wait was very short. We ordered the #9 and 10 and they were amazing!! We will definitely be returning here for the delicious food!
(5)Mary Shannon H.
I grew up with relatives from Syria, so this type of food is comfort food to me. My hubby and I went to Pita Kitchen for the first time last week and I was delighted. We just had Shawarma Beef and Lamb pitas, although their menu included appetizers, salads and kebabs as well as pitas. The pitas were fat and full of onions, lettuce, tomatoes and tsatziki sauce as well as tons of meat. Their Baklava is also cut in big satisfying pieces and was really delicious. We are going again as soon as we get a chance! Loved it!
(5)Sasha E.
Yummy tabouli salad, delicious chicken, great Greek fries, pitas are poppin, I can't say enough about how great the food is. The guy in front is always so pleasant and I keep coming back for those addicting chicken kabobs! My husband and I are seriously hooked. The location is always packed since you got the chipotle & smash burger next door, but I'm so glad they got this little Greek joint in the mix, it's my favorite.
(5)Tracey H.
Heavenly delicious! Mediterranean cuisine is my favorite. Pita Kitchen has some of the best Mediterranean food I have eaten (and I've eaten a lot in many cities). Live in Chandler but took our friend to dinner here who lives in Avondale after reading the really good Yelp reviews. He's a picky eater, had never eaten Mediterranean before but loved it. He had the Gyro plate with rice and Greek salad. We ordered the Mediterranean sampler platter for an appetizer and it was fabulous. Comes with hummus, baba ghanouj, taziki dip, dolmas, falafel, tabbouli and pita bread. All very fresh and mouth-watering. The pita bread was very soft and warm. The baba ghanouj is out of this world -- smokey, nutty, spicy. I have never been a huge dolma fan, but I was finally won over here. Husband and I had the falafel pita. The falafel was well seasoned and moist, perfect. Hubby also had the Greek fries which put all other fries to shame. I had a few bites and wanted to snag them when he wasn't looking but decided to mind my manners so I didn't end up sleeping on the couch. :-0 The portions are good size with reasonable prices. Very courteous staff who greet you with a pleasant smile and check on you even though it's a counter order style restaurant. Very clean with nice ambiance for a small, fast food restaurant even though I don't put it in the same category as fast food. We will definitely make the near-hour trip again just to eat here...oh and to visit our friend. Tried to convince the owner to put their next location near Chandler. Maybe we will have to start a petition for that. Haha! At any rate, highly recommend giving it a try. Works well as a family restaurant (kid-friendly menu), dinner dates, for vegitarians/vegans, take-out or catering. Just writing this review is making my mouth water. Just might have to make the drive to Avondale today. Nom Nom!
(5)David D.
Super quick and friendly service. Had the gyro pita combo; everything was fresh and delicious!
(4)Maria S.
I had a very pleasant and great experience at Pita Kitchen and am excited to return and try a different plate. Not only was the customer service exceptional but their food was very good as well. My friend and I had the Steak Shawarma with fries, Hummus with Steak Shawarma and Tabouli Salad. Everything was very tasty with a homemade flavor. The Pita bread that came with the Hummus was warm and soft which I love. Everything looked just like the pictures on the menu so there were no surprises other than the delicious flavor. :) We upgraded our dish to the combo so we ordered fries (option we chose, which were really good too) and had unlimited refills with any drink at the fountain! Being that it was a grand opening week they handled the amount of people and orders in a timely manner. The restaurant was very clean, as well as the women restrooms, which is important to me. I highly recommend anyone to go and try it and enjoy the experience we did. Again, delicious food and really great and friendly customer service!
(5)Alyssa A.
Was actually craving a gyro, came to try this place. Used the yelp check-in discount of course, but still bummed. I ordered the gyro combo(lamb gyro, reg fries, and a drink) and still ended up paying $9. It was good, but could've gotten that same plate for around $6 bucks somewhere else; plus they gave me a lil amount of fries, I giggled. Maybe should've tried something else, played it too safe. There were a lot of patrons in store and it was almost closing time. Will try the hummus and other entrees next visit.
(3)Janice H.
We've never had a bad meal here. The chicken.pita is one of the best in the valley! My hubby loves the gyro pita and Greek fries; my favorite side is the Greek salad. Although the pitas are great I crave the chicken shwarma meal with pita chips and rice....not sure what goes into making that rice but I could eat it every day! If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!
(5)Darian G.
We love this place! My family and I eat a Pita kitchen at least once a week. It's a great healthy alternative to pizza. The staff is always so friendly and they go the extra mile to make sure that you're happy. I recommend the chicken kebab plate with roasted tomatoes and cilantro jalapeno hummus. Pita Kitchen never disappoints!!!
(5)Michelle M.
For starters, the customer service here is outstanding! You'll usually catch the manger in the front working and you can just tell that he takes so much pride in this establishment. As for the food? It is absolutely delicious! It will definitely keep you coming back for more. I only wish there were more locations!
(5)Kylie B.
This place is seriously, AMAZING! I'm not that picky when it comes to gyros and already thought they taste great everywhere I get it, but when I tried Pita Kitchen, it showed me a whole new kind of DELICIOUSNESS!!! Try this place out! You won't regret it! They just set the "gyro standards" for me. It's going to be hard to eat it anywhere else now.
(5)Ray T.
Have eaten here a couple times now and it is really good. The service is great and they are always cheerful and helpful. Had the Gyro and Greek Fries and it was very tasty. Wife had a Greek Salad and she said it was good but not as good as the Greek Salad we have at the place in Goodyear we go to. Will definitely be back.
(4)Andrew B.
Bomb.com ! Very good. Got the Falafel and they were nice big falafel, probably the best I have had, French fries were good, hot and crisp. The pita was fresh and soft and the veggies crunchy and rich. Line was big and could not find a place to sit it was so pact and that's how you know it's good. Place should start taking reservations! Can't wait to bring my girlfriend.
(5)Stephanie C.
Great food and even better service!!! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.
(4)Anya H.
Delicious! Love the food & the staff are very friendly too. Reasonable price for the portion of food you get & they don't skimp on anything. Worth trying out if you haven't been here yet.
(5)John S.
I tried Pita Kitchen based on the reviews, I wasn't disappointed. Ordering online was convenient and easy. The staff was friendly and the food was exceptional. The gyro, greek salad and grilled veggies were all cooked to perfection. We will be back. Thank you.

Great food and friendly service. I ordered the chicken pita w tzatziki and Greek fries and it was SOOO good!! The Greek fries came in a large bowl and could have fed the family. The herbs on the fries were delicious! We were there on Mother's Day and the owner, I believe, have the mom's a complimentary piece of baklava which my daughter devoured.
(5)BooksandButter K.
We have been here several times. The food is always good, generous portions, and great customer service. I always get the Gyro Platter. My only complaint is the baklava isn't a very generous portion and although the flavor is good, it isn't the best I have had. We will definitely be back for the appetizers and entrees!
(4)Jamie D.
Great food great service stayed open later just to let my bf and I eat in! Very clean! Can't wait to go back
(5)Lucy L.
I really seldom write reviews for restaurants unless they really WOW me.... And Pita Kitchen did just that! The food here is amazing and tastes very authentic. This time I had the chicken schwarma, hummus and pita, and a Greek salad. The chicken was deliously seasoned, the hummus was creamy and the Greek salad tasted so fresh! Come here you must try this place at least once! I don't think you'll regret it!
(5)Rick T.
Yay! I'm a fan is an accurate description. Great food at affordable prices. I love the lime cilantro hummus and the gyros are terrific. Definitely stop and eat. You will know that you had Greek.
(4)Gulzeb N.
We got combo kabob and steak shawarma plate. Both were amazing. One of the best Mediterranean places I have eaten at. The food was very flavorful.
(5)Ammar T.
Good customer service along with great gyros and shawarma. I will bring my friends in here next time I come :)
(5)Samantha G.
Not only was the staff nice enough to accommodate my low carb diet by substituting rice and pita bread for extra greens instead, but the food is DELICIOUS! I felt like i was cheating on my diet, but I totally wasn't..... Can't wait to go back tonight with my kiddos!
(5)Mark S.
Extraordinary food, consistently delicious and authentic tasting. We know we come here for a great quality meal every time we visit. Prices are fair and customer service is good.
(5)Alex P.
This is basically a lower scale version of Pita Jungle with better prices and IMO just as good of food. The service is quick and the people are friendly.
(5)Keary K.
We have frequented this restaurant since it opened, and it has never disappointed! Delicious food, wonderfully friendly staff and good prices... There are so many delicious items to choose from. The gyros are superb (everything on this sandwich is legit: from the pita, to the tzatziki, to the meat freshly carved off the spit... so gooood!) The chicken kabobs are amazing as well, perfectly seasoned and tender... yummy! The hummus with tabbouleh is always fresh, delicious and tasty. The owner has been there every time that we have dined in and he is a wonderful and gracious host- making sure that his guests are happy and well fed! Support this fantastic local business!
(5)Mac H.
I have to say ~~ I LOVE THIS PLACE... My husband took me here just once and I was hooked. My fav is their chicken schwarma and greek fries. OMG... Sooo amazing. The staff are always friendly, nice and they remember me. I love the deco of the place, it makes me feel so comfy. The food at this place is awesome. So fresh and yummy. I love coming here every chance I get. Thanks for always hooking us up. I cant wait to see them again real soon.
(5)C A.
Good food. The lady at the counter was nice. We ordered a couple gyros, a Greek Salad and pita with hummus. Similar to Crazy Jim's on 15th avenue.
(4)Dan M.
Their Greek salads are great! So is anything with their chicken shawrwa... shwawar... shawama... the chicken is awesome!
(5)Aaron R.
Simple menu, decent prices, good food. Had the gyro and greek fries and the only negative is that the pita started to fall apart. Otherwise, great flavors and filling. I look forward to trying the few other items on the menu and definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a gyro.
(4)Christien H.
This place was great! Service, food, atmosphere were all wonderful. The staff was really helpful and courteous.
(5)Julie K.
Met friends here for dinner a week ago. Staff was friendly, place was clean, and the food was good.
(3)Leo F.
Guess what I try the Gyros and I got hook. Fresh and tasty. Home like environment. They also provide you with free refills and WiFi. What a deal, Give Pita Kitchen a try you Got nothing to lose.
(5)Marz Y.
The best place to eat the gyro was good!! its a double thumbs up the atmosphere is awesome...
(5)John Z.
Call it Mediterranean or Greek food or whatever you like. The owner/ manager is Lebanese and this place has hands down the best Kabobs in Phoenix. To the Yelper complaining about the pita bread being fluffy- Sorry, but that's what you use for authentic Kabobs. Meat cut off of vertical skewers- again, these guys know what they are doing. I had the opportunity to have what are claimed to be the best Kabobs in Berlin, Germany ( yes, there are a lot of immigrants there) and these rank right up there. Add a manager who is hands on and actually concerned that his customers are happy and you have a great place for fantastic food at a reasonable price.
(5)Vanessa-Craig R.
This place is GOOD, all caps. The restaurant is clean, service is great and the food is the bees knees. My husband and I ordered the hummus and tabbouleh, beef gyro with fries, chicken schwarma, a side of rice for our son (he's a toddler) and baklava. Let me point out that my husband and I were both stationed in Turkey (It's where we met, Awww) so were a bit picky when it comes to Mediterranean food and this place passed. The gyro was perfectly seasoned, salty, crunchy, saucy all warmly wrapped in pita bread. The chicken schwarma was the same, the chicken was juicy with just the right about of vegetables and sauce (I added siracha because I love spicy and they offer it). I'd been reading about the delicious fries and the ones my husband got were plain, when I asked about the feta that was supposed to smother them I was told I had to order Greek fries. Even though it was my fault for ordering wrong the owner gave us a free order of Greek fries and they, are, addicting. The tabbouleh was just as citrusy as I remember from turkey. The only reason I didn't go with 5 stars is that the hummus is kind of bland and the baklava, although delicious, wasn't the crispy, pistachioy goodness I was craving. Overall this place is great. If you have any issues remember that this place has only been open 2 weeks and they are doing an amazing job. Chok guzel!
(4)Matt W.
We have eaten here a good 4-5 times in the last few months and I believe they have been listening to their review to fix smaller issues. I absolutely love their food and the wife does too. We have tried a few different plates and have no real complaints as of yet. We can usually get out of there with 2 dinners and a app. for under 35 dollars so the price point is less than some of the competing Greek joints in the Goodyear / Avondale area. This seems like a family run joint and the service has always been fantastic and I always feel super welcome when I'm here. I have had no issues with absurd waiting or problems with my order. This is a great joint on our side of town and I would suggest it to my Yelp buddies.
(4)Richard M.
Pretty good. The meat is fresh and flavorful. I'd given it 5 stars if the pitas were a little more flavorful but all together a good Greek place. Inside is clean and the service is fast.
(4)Casey B.
This place is awesome! The Chicken Shawarma is unbelievable and Gyro's are delicious! The staff is on point and good natured, they were super friendly to my daughter. I eat there several times a week. Check out their website at pitakitchen.net and then pay them a visit you won't be sorry.
(5)Jamie G.
The staff was friendly without being overbearing, the restaurant was very clean (even the high chairs were wiped down!), and the food was great! Casual dining at its best!
(5)Clare W.
I love this place, the one thing we have been missing here in west Phoenix was a good tasty Med food place and with Pita Kitchen we have it now.. been there at least 12 times, and never been unhappy....
(5)Joell H.
Been looking for a good gyros close to home for awhile. Hit the spot!! Better than Gyro Express in my opinion and the manager is amazing!
(5)Erick R.
The pitas are awesome and the salads are huge. Very nice and clean and the staff are very friendly. I'm glad we stopped here
(5)Siam M.
We waited for over 20 minutes for a simple gyro and steak shwarma combo with fries. There was also 5 other groups waiting for their food also just as long. The staff seemed more concerned about filling some to-go orders from a couple of customers who came in afterwards and left before us before we even received our food. The meat on my gyro was warm but was not seared crispy. The tzatziki was bland, little onions/tomato, and the pita bread was falling apart. The chicken shwarma was dry but had some flavor. Greek fries were good but was thrown off by the serving bowl it came in. I swear they stole the bowls from Ghenghis Grill.
(1)Jake A.
I'll keep this sort and sweet. There are a lot of Greek/Mediterranean places out here in the west valley but Pita Kitchen is the one worth driving down from Surprise to go to. It's worth the trip every time!
(5)John Paul A.
The food was good, service was excelent, this place just opened last week and so far so good. I had the Chicken Shawarma with fries, lean chicken, needed more sauce but that's an easy fix. The fry's tasted just like McDonald's which is a good thing! Prices were pretty good too! Glad to finally have a Greek Place in the West Valley.
(4)Ethan D.
Great food, will be back! I had a gyro, wife had a shawarma, the 9 year-old had a gyro too and we all loved it. We also had hummas for an appetizer. Nice and clean tastes across the board.
(5)S G.
Gyro's are the best in the west valley. Greek Salad is also really good. Wife and I have had takeout from here several times. Never unhappy with our food or service. It's close, but I'd say Pita Kitchen is a bit better than Greek Gyro Express. Prices are very reasonable too.
(4)Rich F.
If you're driving along the 10 Fwy. in Avondale this is the place to go for good food. The chicken kabob's are good. Prices and portion sizes are good.
(4)Shai M.
This place is great. The food is done right and the owner knows what he's doing. Hope this place grows and stays around for a long time.
(5)Tara C.
I have been on a Greek salad kick lately and decided to not eat at Smashburger and give Pita Kitchen a whirl. I was a little apprehensive spending $9 (8.69) on a Greek salad with chicken but told myself it would be huge and I would have to eat it over 2 sittings. I was NOT disappointed. There is a huge heap of chicken in this salad and it's not just a grilled chicken breast chopped over a Greek salad; it's chicken SHAWARMA - beautifully seasoned, tender and moist. There were chunks of feta as opposed to just tiny crumbles and their dressing was amazing! My brother and I butt heads over Greek salad dressing; he prefers to have it with vinegar strong enough to clean your pipes, and his go to is George's Gyros. I prefer a more mellow dressing that allows me to keep my eyes open whilst eating and have come to frequent Z's Greek, down the road from my house. This dressing was by far the BEST I've had. I will definitely be back!
(5)Nonda R.
Excellent food and the pita bread is nice and fresh. My husband got the chicken gyro and it was excellent. Could use a little bit of seasoning on the fries or some feta cheese would be great. Otherwise will be going back and it is nice to have a Gyro location closer to us. Very friendly staff.
(5)Debbie T.
Hubby and I love gyros, and we read the great reviews, plus this place is close to home. We went in one evening, and I will admit, the place was immaculate and the service was great. Everyone was nice and kept checking up on us. The gyros were okay. I enjoy tomatoes in my gyro, and at first, thought there weren't any. After a bit, I realized they were flat on the bottom. The tzatziki sauce tasted a bit generic. The pita was very nice. We both got salads with them, and they were alright. Not sure if we'll go again.
(3)Nadia I.
Highly recommend this place! delicious middle eastern food and fairly priced! we needed a place like this in the west valley, so people living in the west valley try them out, you wont be sorry!
(5)Dan H.
Restaurant was clean, friendly service, reasonable prices and food was great. Only disappointment was the fries.
(5)Anne L.
Good food. Well prepared. Had the cilantro Jalepeno Hummus with Steak and the Chicken Schwarma.
(4)Scott H.
I can't think of a place in Phoenix with better chicken shawarma sandwiches and the Greek salad that comes with the combo is a great value with excellent dressing. We also like the tabouli and the spanakopita. We wish they offered iced tea but this is an otherwise great choice for lunch or dinner!
(4)Melissa C.
Wow! The tabbouli salad here was impressive, fresh and delicious. The gyro meat was thickly sliced, ot thinly sliced like most greek places serve. The hummus was flavorful and had a kick to it. Maybe paprika? The pita chips are fried in house. They where served hot and greasy. My entire dining experience here was amazing and alot $$$$ cheaper than the other greek place that we frequent! FREE WIFI at this place! Not bad. ***You will need some serious mouthwash when you're done eating here. So I don't recommend it if you're out on a date*** smooch smooch, no, no!
(5)Karla P.
We have been coming here since they opened. We were so excited to have a good Mediterranean restaurant open on the west side of town. The service is always quick and friendly.
(5)Marsha H.
It's rare to find a place that deserves 5 stars these days. Food is great, owners and service is amazing. Best thing is the hummus and pita chips! We love this place!
(5)Maggie B.
I had read good reviews on this restaurant. I ordered the falafel pita. The falafel balls were very overcooked, underseasoned, and very dry, hard balls. There was no sauce. I went and asked for tzaziki (sp?). The sauce did not have the garlicky flavor to it. There was certainly not enough to help moisten the balls. I also had a side of jalapeno cilantro hummus. It really needed more jalapeno and cilantro. It did have good flavor otherwise. The fried pita chips that came with the hummus were crispy warm, but very greasy like the oil was not hot enough to cook them. I was very disappointed. I was expecting more robust flavors associated with Middle Eastern foods.
(2)Judge R.
Good quality service and food,place is clean,lighting is just right with some nice background music and the employes are good people trying to make a good name for the restaurant. I wish them the best every time i visit..!
(5)W S.
Great food and service, huge portions and they give a military discount.
(5)BM C.
Pita Kitchen is HANDS DOWN the best new Mediterranean in town. Secondly, it knocks the socks off of every other place on the west side The restaurant was spotless, beautifully/tastefully decorated, comfortable and classy. Moreover, the food was savory, fresh, juicy, zesty and perfectly put together. With all of that, I was shocked to see how inexpensive it was. The service was also extremely efficient, friendly and quick!!! Most of all the owners clearly run their business with integrity and pride, and it made me VERY happy to support them given that they've created the perfect "everyday style food" restaurant! MY MOM DOESN'T EVEN LIKE LAMB, AND SHE SAID IT WAS THE BEST GYRO SHE'D EVER HAD!!! That's saying something!!! :-)
(5)Amoreena P.
the food is super good, the gyros are huge and tasty... love the chicken ka-bob meal, glad its on the west side ;)
(5)Chris C.
This place is the bomb; always fast, and always delicious. Not to mention it has a great atmosphere with friendly staff. I feel like family when I walk in this place. A must visit!
(5)Jake V.
Best gyros in town. Weekly visit is a must. The fries are great and the rice is awesome.
(5)Gloria S.
Hummus was excellent. Falafel pita was subpar it said garbanzo mixed with cilantro. Cilantro overpowered it. The pita is very messy and tends to break apart.
(3)Gerry G.
Despite the other reviews, I thought the food was good. I gave it three stars because the wait is somewhat lengthy. I think it would help if they had more cooks in the kitchen. Probably not the place to go if you're in a pinch for lunch. Prices are decent. A little pricey for some dishes. Update: they forgot about my order. Total wait time was 45 mins. Avoid this place during lunch hour. Changed to 2 star rating.
(2)Ru M.
The gentleman greeted us right away, kindly explained the different sauces they had. Food was great ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita: $6.79 Chicken Breast Marinated in A Special Seasonings, Flame Broiled on a Vertical Skewer, Topped with Lettuce Tomato, Onions, and your choice of Tahini Sauce, or Garlic Sauce.
(4)Deni G.
Always Fresh and Always good I have always enjoyed eating at Pita Kitchen, the service is exceptional and you always leave wanting more. The serving sizes are generous. Today, my friends and I ordered the hummus for an appetizer, and we split a few Chicken Chipotle Pita Wraps. If you like hummus at all, you need to try it, you won't be disappointed. If hummus isn't for you Pita Kitchen offers a wide variety of entrée selections. There are salads and great desserts. The service is always friendly, courteous, and the food is always fresh and delicious.
(4)Maria B.
This place is AWESOME!!! I ordered food and took some Sriracha Sauce with me so I could put some on my food. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma. Halfway through my place I noticed I never added Sriracha Sauce!!! Sign that my food was ON POINT filled with delicious flavor and didn't need added flavor. Very happy it's near my home!
(5)Pam P.
We love this place. This is our #1 to go for Greek Food. The gyro salad, pita chips and hummus, Tabouli Salad... YUMMILICIOUS!
(5)Johan A.
After moving from New York City I didn't think I would find a good gyro like I could get off any gyro cart. This place is awesome and it's my go to whenever I get the craving.
(4)Scott M.
The food here is incredible. My wife and love eating here. We always order the gyro and Greek fries. The Greek fries have so much feta cheese sprinkled on there that we use a fork to eat what is on the bottom after the fries are gone. Decent portions. I have tried many other Greek restaurants and this one is in my top two. I will be back.
(5)Ronnie D.
I'm not greek so i cant say that this place is authentic. But the first time my wife and i came here we were absolutely blown away by the food here. Fresh and vibrant flavors. If you want to expand your horizons and try a diffrent cusine, this place will be a good starting point. The restaurant maybe small buy it is clean and have friendly staff. Also, you get a 10% discount on your entire meal when you check in.on yelp.
(4)Tessa S.
Love this place! The staff is so friendly! The food is authentic and full of flavor!!!
(5)Tennille B.
I love this place though tonight was not a good night for them. We waited a really long time for our food and then the foods was over cooked. 3 of us ordered. . My son got his food...5 min I got my side of fries...10 min later I asked for my spouses soup...it was delivered 5 mins later. Then 10 mins after he delivered the entrees. At this point my son ate all of his food as we just started. Salmon & chicken shawarma was over cooked. It was dry and hard to eat. The owner or manger was too busy having sushi with his girl to manage the kitchen 4 groups after us were served their food before it's was and the server didn't know what table got what food. That is my only complaint for them but will try again. If I have another poor service night I may need to find another place.
(3)Rossi M.
Gosh this place is so great. Service was excellent food was delicious and everything was very pleasing will definitely be coming back again. YUMMM.
(5)Dale C.
A friendly staff and good food is always a great combo. I have always ordered the chicken kabob entree and have never been disappointed. Make sure you have 15 minutes to wait for the goodness that is about to be devoured.
(4)Charles F.
Went back a 2nd time this past weekend. Again really impressed. Really wish they would open in Goodyear!
(5)Aislene D.
I love Greek food. I'm always up for trying a new place. I thought this location would be awesome because the decor was pretty but not so much. The people are decent, and the scenery is ok, I'll give them that much. But it seems every time I go to this restaurant they ALWAYS get my order wrong. I've been here a few times and every time it's messed up. The food is ok, not the best. I feel 1 star is a bit harsh for messed up food so I suppose 2 will do. I'm not one to complain to the people who make your food so I just bite my tongue, and accept it as a loss. It's really annoying when you specifically ask not just a couple times, because of a food allergy, for it a certain way and it's wrong. I won't be spending any more time and money here.
(2)Max J.
Great gyros, pita bread and falafel. Very friendly service and clean restaurant. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good Mediterranean food.
(5)Chad P.
Simple food, this place is great. Reminded me a little of Kasakhstan. Great taste to the hummus and the main dinner meal ... combo kabob was amazing. I live close to here and never stopped in because I love Rumbies too much. The service here is great and the staff are very friendly and mild mannered. Great atmosphere, not noisy.....thank you.....and not crowded at all, came in at about 7:30pm. The music is very relaxing as well, can't forget that. We will definitely be back. I want to try their gyros next time. This place will come highly recommended at work.
(5)Michael S.
Our first time here. The place was packed and I had to have my wife grab the only table as it literally was cleaned off and I ordered. There were people hanging out waiting for to go orders. We ordered a gyro combo each and pita and hummus. So the hummus was very good and the pitas are very good. The gyro meat was a little dry and crispy on some of the ends. The fries were fries. Nothing gross but nothing special. The price although not very high I felt could be a little less expensive. However, we did leave very full. I was kind of digging the mediterranean music that was playing in the place. I think we would try it again. The service was very friendly.
(3)Leah S.
Usually a pita jungle fan but this place puts them to same. This is some of the best chicken kabob and hummas I think I have ever had! Not truly a quick serve restaurant but worth the wait!
(5)Bill J.
Loved it. My families favorite was the Spanakopita , The Mediterranean Sampler was superb. Their home made hummus is famtastic. My family and I will definitely return to explore other dishes off their menu.
(5)Monique L.
There isn't a pita jungle in this area but now that I found pita kitchen I don't mind at all. I had the chicken swarmaza (not sure how to spell it) with a Greek salad. The chicken was moist and had so much flavor. They even offered gold peak tea *my favorite. Javier had the beef gyro with fries. He said it tasted good but next time will get the salad instead of the fries. We also shared some baklava. I have had better but I'm willing to try It again especially since baklava is one of my favorite desserts.
(5)Nick T.
Have been here multiple times and one time it's excellent and the next.....not so much. Gyros has been great every time though so that's why I gave it 4 stars.
(4)j r.
This place is in a very busy shopping center small restaurant with about 15 tables.the food tastes and looked really fresh and really made to order a bit expensive but I guess you pay for good quality that's why I would definitely be returning soon.
(4)LaToya B.
First impression very busy during lunch. The lady at the cash register was able to provide a recommendation which is a plus in my book. Casual atmosphere and clean. The lady told me they've been at this location for two years. I guess I've passed it up several times. I am always over here shopping at Old Navy and Justice for my youngest. Now for the food. It smells delicious! It is enough for two people. It was a little salty for me but everything is salty since I've been pregnant. The rice was perfect with the exception of a few hard pieces but that happens everywhere. The lady came out to check on me. I'm now starting to think that she is the owner. I couldn't eat it all. I felt bad because I was wasting food. Nevertheless I will return. I'm interested in tasting the other items on the menu. I'm anxious to try the humus. I love a good humus.
(4)Danno T.
The food is pretty good but we waited for 30 minutes only to find out our food wasn't even started. They definitely need new management and a new kitchen crew that gives a shit about their customers. I personally will not be coming back here again. Such a disappointment.
(1)James A.
Ok, these guys NEVER have a bad day in the kitchen. I suspect some sorcery, come on give me something to complain about guys!
(5)Nikki J.
They have totally redeemed themselves from my last visit. I am so glad! Their food is seriously awesome, still and once again. Thank you to Rian, Raymond, and Mario the owners! The food today was like it always has been, awesome. The rice, chicken, and beef were cooked and hot. The salad was great. We learned that they are getting, or have, a system to be able to order online at pitakitchen.net so we won't have to wait on the phone. I'm once again so glad that they have redeemed their 5 star status as they truly are one of my favorite restaurants to go for lunch.
(5)Angie N.
Had the chicken shawarma plate - DELICIOUS, the rice was fantastic. I didn't really care for the dips/sauces, but the dressing for the greek salad was good. The feta cheese was nice and fresh. My boyfriend had the gyros platter and he loved it. Our daughter had the pitadilla that came with fries - it was pretty freaking fantastic. The pita bread was very good too. Wasn't a huge fan of the hummus, but I've never really been a hummus fan in general. My boyfriend likes hummus and he wasn't wowed by it either. Everything else though, pretty good! It's a small place, but they're quick, great prices, and good food. We did takeout.
(4)Tammy M.
I was in an area of town that I don't know well so, of course, I used Yelp to assist me with lunch plans. First, Pita Kitchen is super convenient - right off I-10 and 99th Avenue. When I walked in, the place was buzzing. In fact, every table was filled but fortunately, one group was waiting for a to-go order so my colleague grabbed their table. It's a walk-up order situation. A super friendly smiling woman helped advise our order. She was hyper knowledgeable about the menu. My colleague ordered a Gyro with hummus and I got the mediterranean salad with chicken. We also got a side of jalapeño cilantro hummus. Wow! This hummus is flat out delicious and all servings were generous. We were served in a very timely manner, loved the food and will definitely go back when in the area.
(5)Morgan B.
Let me start of by saying that I am a Greek food aficionado. Greek salad would be my last meal if I had to choose. This place is BY FAR the best Greek in the valley. I got the gyro salad with a pita and tatziki...and I've been thinking about it ever since. Yelp will NOT steer you wrong about this place. It's not fancy, but it's the best food and you definitely get more than you pay for. Pay at the counter and take a seat with your number. The staff is extremely friendly ad came to make sure my food was to my liking. Overall, if you're craving Greek this is the #1 place in the valley.
(5)Sarah S.
Whenever I know I'll be in the vicinity of Pita Kitchen, I want to make sure that I'll also be hungry! Last couple of times I had a falafel snack. Yesterday with a friend we also enjoyed the Greek Fries. :-) I had wanted to get them but it's a lot for little'ole me to eat. So splitting the order with a girlfriend was perfect. Fries plus greek dressing plus feta cheese sprinkled with fresh parsley. ..o my gosh! So good!
(5)Ayyad K.
I went here as much as I could when working nearby. The food is plentiful, their Mediterranean salads are great!. They have more of a Greek vibe if you look at their decor, but they are really a mix of different Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern cuisine (cannot be disappointed)
(4)Dean-Ryan S.
Really good Mediterranean food here. I have to say, I'm absolutely addicted to their garlic sauce. It's just amazing. I usually get two containers of it and then just drench every single mouthful in it. I actually went and asked the lady at the counter if she could share the recipe and she said it was a secret.. bah! Whatever dish you get here, trust me, get some of this magic pink garlic sauce - you won't regret it. Apart from that I usually get the beef or chicken. I'd vote this place second best Greek in Phoenix, with Greek Wraps coming out well in in front like they always do. I'd usually give a place I really like 3 stars, but Pita Kitchen gets a fourth for the garlic sauce. It is THAT good.
(4)Esther V.
The food is really good the usual place I go to is all the way in Chandler too far. I Love Love Love their Chicken Shawarma Pita and their Greek Fries. I gave it 5 stars because their was nothing bad with it.
(5)Travis L.
I'm not a hummus fan but there hummus might have changed that i had the cilantro hummus. The sitting area is small and was packed while we where there. The food was great in the top Greek places I have ever eaten.
(5)Patrick B.
I'd say 4.5/5 overall because as they say on annual employee evals, "there's always room for improvement." Additionally, 2 of the 3 times I've called in my order, I've been placed on hold for over 5 minutes. The second time resulted in me arriving in the parking lot prior to them taking my order. Food is easily 5/5 though. Everything I've tried has been delicious. The gyros and Greek fries are the best I've had, not that I am a gyro or Greek fry aficionado or anything though. So, YMMV, but I don't think most people would be disappointed.
(5)Miguel R.
The staff here was really polite, nice, and attentive. Compared to other Greek places I've visited in the valley, I've received more food for the price that I paid for the meal here. So I wouldn't recommend splitting a meal with someone if you're both hungry. I had the gyro plate and the gyro meat was good. I like that I got choice hummus as a side.
(3)Scott J.
Great Greek food! One of the best we have ever eaten at.
(5)Sherin C.
Pita chips and hummus yum yum! My three year old even loves it. They are all very friendly, I'm never disappointed. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. Suggestion? Order it to go.
(4)Ramon O.
What an amazing place to eat!!!!! Great prices and great food!!! Staff is very friendly!!! Best hummas and pita chips ever!!!! I've tired other similar Greek places, but this is by far the best. The rice is my favorite!!!! Highly recommended!!!! Opa!!!!
(5)Natalie D.
Glad I found this place ... Salad was outstanding, very fresh NOT like the bag lettuce you get elsewhere...you can tell quality is important to them and it shows...nice job !
(5)Aaron L.
The food is very good, the Greek fries are delicious, and hummus and pita was unlike any others, my gyro was perfect, we will be back
(5)Marc R.
We love coming here to get our favorite gyro combo. Add the Greek salad the dressing is excellent. Also try the pita chips with hummus. Don't forget to finish off with the baklava.
(5)Vanessa C.
Good food but we've noticed the portion sizes have really gone down. A little disappointed.
(4)Faye F.
I love place! The best Greek food in Phoenix I've tried so far! Always fresh, always yummy! Great service. The owner is always checking up on your meal and he is always soo nice!
(5)Andreea S.
I had the gyros... so so tasty! And the tzatziki is very flavourful. Great choice. The service was fast and the lady was sweet .
(5)Scott T.
Pleasant surprise. Didn't expect much since it has a bit of a fast food vibe (e.g., order at the counter, soda machine, etc.) but the food is really good. Excellent Tadziki, flavorful Gyro meat and nice warm Pita. We will definitely be back, much better option than the other places in the area.
(4)Francisco H.
Really good pitas. Meat is well cooked and seasoned. I usually get the Greek chicken salad. The dressing is very good and the portion is more than enough. Small place, but I always find a seat. The people working are nice and courteous.
(4)Roman R.
Pita chips are delicious. Gyros are delicious. Salads are delicious. Just come here for some delicious Greek food!!!
(4)Jason W.
This was my first time visiting and only my second time having Greek food. I was a bit apprehensive, but happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. The service here was prompt, polite, honest and friendly. I was amazed how quickly everything arrived, but there was definitely no sacrificing quality for speed here, everything tasted amazing. It was hard to believe everything tasted as good as it did for the price. I'll definitely be coming back... And soon.
(5)Rebecca M.
This is one of those places I'm always showing off to people who aren't from Avondale. I am consistently impressed by their food and service. The only thing to dislike is that it gets BUSY at lunchtime -- try going at an "off" time and save yourself the wait. My boyfriend and I have ordered just about everything on the menu, and nothing disappoints. The Mediterranean sampler is a steal at $4.25 during happy hour. (They don't seem to advertise their happy hour, but I've been given 50% discounts for appetizers on a few occasions.) Their sauces and marinades are incredible. Be sure to try the cilantro jalapeno hummus and the chipotle sauce.
(5)Judy C.
Delicious, generous portions, service with a smile. Extra nominal charge for extra sauce. Gyros better than tri-tip.
(4)Aaron J.
The food here is amazing! It's one thing to have great food, but when you have great service too it's awesome. Ryan is the owner and you can tell that he cares about great quality food. They make their hummus from scratch and it's delicious! If you're looking for great tasting Greek food this place is hands down the best on the west!
(5)Eugene B.
If you going there please order combo kabob the best dish on the menu I would order it with salad. The pita is pretty good. Do give me about 15-20 minutes or so before food is cooked.
(5)Anthony R.
The food is excellent. The problem is they have out grown the place their in. Every time I come it's packed outside chairs full. I came close to leaving this last time having to stand in a corner. Oh yea their is no place to go to wait for seats. Let's expand already
(4)Sam L.
Let me first start by saying I am a great lover of food. I absolutely will only go someplace more than once if I deem it worthy and only Yelp places that are worth spending your money on. That being said this place is phenomenal! The owners treat every guest as family and I have yet to eat anything short of perfection. My wife and I eat here or take out from here on a monthly basis of not sometimes twice in a month. I highly recommend the steak shawarma and my wife is a big fan of the gyros! There pita chips are AMAZINGLY and their Greek fries have left me dying for more on many occasions. The restaurant is always immaculate even in their busiest of times and their staff is always friendly. For an added treat don't forget to order a baklava. It's doubtful you'll have room for it at dinner, but it's a great pick me up with an evening coffee after you blissful food coma wears off!
(5)Kevin W.
Finally! Our search for great, fast, authentic Greek is over! We had the hummus with gyros & chicken with more than enough soft, warm pita bread; not over salted, and just enough bite to clear your sinus'. You won't regret it!
(5)Heather M.
we are never disappointed at pita kitchen everything is always on.. From the kabob to the gyros and the appetizers. I always rotate what I order because I can never choose a favorite. Even my super picky husband loves it here and it's always his first choice. The cook in the back is always friendly and the lady in front always asks us how our meal as. all of their staff has been friendly and we have never had bad service or bad food. I just wish they could get a nother location or a larger location because lunch time is grinding time!! Always busy and yummy I wonder how they don't run out of food!!! Perfection!
(5)Happy Y.
This place is great!! The food is very good and the prices are reasonable. I could eat Greek food everyday. And for fast, healthy and tasty Greek food, this is a great spot. It's located in a strip mall at 99th and McDowell, and the atmosphere isn't anything fancy. But it has great food at a good price and that's all I'm looking for for a quick and healthy meal on the run. I love their beef kefta and their tzatziki sauce!
(5)Lucia W.
This place is great. The grilled vegetable medley never disappoints, and their greek fries are the best I've had. They don't just give you dry fries with small feta sprinkles, you get small square feta chunks in with your fries. They also use some kind of vinaigrette that's really awesome.
(5)Chris C.
Our new local greek joint! the gyros are well made, the lamb is cut just right. The chicken schwarma is on point and the jalapeño cilantro hummus is outrageously delicious The owner of this place is really a nice guy and the prices are great! Thanks for the 10% off when we checked it too!
(5)Lauren Ashley G.
I love this place when I lived in Arizona. It was a great alternative to my California Mediterranean food! I loved my chicken pita with pita chips! Yummy! Juicy chicken. They also have a cilantro hummus which is THE BEST! Also I might add, I think it's the owner that's usually up front but they are always so nice and friendly!
(4)Joe P.
I love this place! Pita Jungle tastes like crap after eating here. They don't skimp on the meat, the food is consistently good. The people working there are very nice. The ice tea is better than the ice tea at Pita Jungle. I never go to Pita Jungle anymore. You guys get 5 stars for being so much better than a popular chain. I also love supporting small businesses, being a business owner myself. They need to get better at being busy, because with food this good... they will be constantly busy. We ordered food to go tonight. It was good but not great like it usually is. They were PACKED, so our meal probably got rushed a bit. I think they are out growing that little spot. Time to buy the hawaiian place next door that is always empty and move in next to Chipotle. 1 good meal, many many great meals. Still a 5 star place in my opinion!
(5)CMaurice W.
Very good food. One thing that I'm a stickler on is cleanliness from looking in the back kitchen not the most spot on place. -but the food speaks good and they always have "A" grade inspection sticker so can't complain much aside from the long waits it's well worth the experience.
(3)Nick W.
Eat here all the time, it's never been bad! The servings are HUGE! You can get hummus, wraps, and some delicous baklava too! It's small on the inside, and can get crowded, but they give excellent customer service. Everyone gets their full attention, and daily specials make for a great, inexpensive lunch! The chicken kabob meal is my favorite, and the saffron rice is worth the trip alone! Enjoy!
(4)Rachael F.
Great place to eat on the westside. It does take some time to get your food but in my opinion it's well worth it! It's a bit pricey but you do get a lot of food. Always very friendly staff.
(4)Anthony V.
Ordered 2 gyro pitas, being from Chicago I'm used to gyros SOO big that you have to take meat out of the pita in order to eat. This place gives small portions for what they charge. Wouldn't give this place another chance. Flavor was good, just don't get a lot for your money.
(2)Courtney B.
Realllllly good med food ! The chicken shawarma is good, and the veg medley is too ! I like the hummus also.
(4)Crystal S.
New resident of AZ from Houston TX and was curious about Mediterranean food out here. I saw that there were crazy reviews so me and my hubby and kids went. Staff was really nice and helpful, prices are reasonable. I ordered the beef skewer no.10 which was good. The seasoning was good, the Greek salad was great. Just that the steak was a little tough, was cooked a little too long. Other than that it was ok
(3)Keri A.
Great Greek! Really good flavors and excellent service.
(5)Lexi A.
I had been waiting to eat here and I finally did yesterday! The food was soooo goood, full of flavor! The staff is wonderful as well, everyone is super friendly! I will for sure be coming back!
(4)Crystal J.
We went on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy being it was lunch hour. We ordered the gyros. Even our 14 yr old picky eater had a gyro. The gyros themselves were packed full of meat. Had a good amount of the cucumber sauce. They tasted awesome! Gyros are decently priced and a combo with fries and a drink will run you about 9 bucks. We will definitely go back.
(5)Vivian A.
I love this place! Gyro and chicken shwarma pita are absolutely mouth watering. And lately, I've been trying to cut out some meat and dairy from my diet so I had their falafel pita for the first time which was just as satisfying! After reading the enthusiasm and love for the pita chips and hummus on here, I decided to try them, and yes... It's true... Those are out of this world!! Yum! I wish the food was less greasy and that the pita chips were not soaked in oil but... If you've been good and you deserve to indulge, this is a great joint!
(5)Beth S.
So worth the drive from El Mirage! The store is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food was DELISH! Best chicken schwarma since Doobie went out of business out in Mesa. We enjoyed a wide variety of dishes and a week later--my party of 9 is STILL talking about how good the food was. Going back this weekend!
(4)Ashley K.
This is an "OK" Greek place, but no where near the best. Our last few trips have been a big let down and I forgot to call an tell them so I'll tell all: the salads are $10 for a small portion of ragged old lettuce and a few pieces of chicken here an there. The gyro my husband had was also skimping on portion and the pita was hard! Their meals are also pricey in my opinion and you'll get crap fries, compared to the alternative My Big Fat Greek.
(2)Lori D.
I dig this place! Everything I have tried here was very good! The exception might be the hummus which I found to be slightly bland but it was totally edible and I am pretty picky about hummus! The Greek fries are awesome too!
(4)Ryan D.
BEST FOOD EVER!!! This place was the very first place my wife and I ate at when we moved to Phoenix and we've been hooked ever since! The staff is friendly and the owner runs an great restaurant! You can tell the food is cooked fresh when you order it and it's not sitting waiting for you to come. Recommendation: order online if you're getting takeout. Two thumbs waaaaay up!!!
(5)Gilman W.
Great vegetarian options, everything I've tried was amazing. Staff is always kind and accommodating. Everything always taste very fresh, the vegetables always have a nice fresh crunch.
(5)Valerie V.
Their Greek salad is amazing, their chicken kebab is also amazing but the place is a little small and they're usually packed so it's hard to find seating some times. The longest I've waited for my food was about 35 minutes. Other than that I'll be coming back again.
(3)Heather Y.
Quick, friendly service. Clean tables. Ordered the greek salad with chicken. I loved everything other than the spice, which I think was allspice on the chicken. Just not my something I care for. Got a side of tzaiki for my pita bread and it was wonderfully light, fresh and delicious. Friend had the gyro, that was good as well. Will be back to try more menu items. Wish they had a chicken gyro though.
(4)Jill C.
So, back to Pita Kitchen I went this past Saturday. This time with my mom, step-dad, and Baby C! We ordered and sat down at a table. I got the same thing as my visit on the 20th - Gyro pita and greek salad. This time the Gyro was NOT greasy. Very tasty at that. The Greek salad again was awesome. My mom ordered the same thing as I and thought the food was good. And my step-dad ordered the chicken souvlaki. It came with rice and salad. He liked it so much he almost cleaned his plate! Seriously good food here! So good that Baby C enjoyed some Gyro and chicken! :)
(4)Suzzi S.
This place had some of the best Greek food I've eaten. The fattoush salad was amazing and I loved their dolmas. Really inexpensive for really amazing food. Plus, the service is extremely friendly. They make you feel at home. We got our food relatively quickly. The place was almost completely filled so I was surprised I didn't have to wait. I would definitely return here.
(5)Mia J.
I'm sitting at home eating the leftovers of today's lunch. I got the gyro entree and my bf got the chicken schwarma entree...I have both leftovers. Delightful earlier today and just as good now. My only regret is that I live 30 mins away. I'll be back in tho!
(5)Sophisticated T.
Perfect! I loved the Greek salad with gyro and the hummus. Fresh ingredients and great flavor.
(4)MaryMary Q.
Absolutely delicious. I have never had pita chips like these and quite honestly...I am spoiled now! Everything we had was wonderful and we made sure to let the guy who runs the place know it! Will definitely revisit!
(5)Vasile H.
Chicken kababs are amazing..with some of the famous pink garlic sauce.....I usually get the chicken kababs..or the chicken kababs salad...great
(5)Lana J.
Wow, this is how middle eastern food should taste like. And what a great owner. He was so hospitable and kind And he had a nice smile. The best tabouli in Arizona. Almost as good as mine. Food is Yum!
(5)Michael P.
Excellent food, excellent prices! We got the falafel and beef and both were delicious! I'll be coming back here for sure!
(5)Judy L.
My husband loved this place so much, he went twice in 1 day. He went there for lunch. When I got home from work and said I was too tired to cook, he offered to pick up food for dinner. I got the combo dinner (gyro and chicken). I am a fan of the chicken, hummus, and pita. The gyro meat....NOT so much. I am never a fan of the gyro always.
(4)Melissa S.
This place has the most amazing food and service. Their gyros are by far the best we have found in Phoenix . And their Greek fries are so addicting they are a must have when you visit this place.
(5)Beth C.
Hello, new favorite restaurant! Pita Kitchen lives up to the Yelp hype. No wonder this place is always crowded. I had the chicken shawarma entree with Greek salad. Oh, that chicken. Tender, loaded with seasoning, not dry at all. The rice made for a delicious bed for the chicken. I'm a total salad snob, and I loved the Greek salad. Great mix of flavors and I liked that it took up half the plate. Good, healthy eats! Then there was the pita bread. I have never eaten fresh pita bread before! I think of pita bread as the thick, stiff stuff from grocery stores. No more. THIS is good bread. Warm, pliable, and delicious. My husband had the steak shawarma entree. He loved it. The piece of his tri-tip that I grabbed was quite tasty. He had the fries instead of the salad and said they were average fries, which was just fine by him. The woman at the counter was very helpful as we took our orders--we were obviously newbies. Our food came out within about ten minutes, which said something considering almost every table was full that Friday evening. We also watched a steady stream of customers getting take-out orders. Once we had the food, we understood why.
(4)Jason S.
Never had a bad meal here, until today. Maybe it was just an off day for the pita boys. I always get the #1 combo. Today, the pita bread was dry/hard and the meat was actually hard on the edge. The pita chips and hummus was good. Will return again, normally the food is delicious.
(4)Bridget A.
This is our second time coming here and each time we were blown away from the excellent customer service and delicious food! The chicken Schwarma was exquisite according to my husband and my falafel gyro was amazing! I also liked that there were Greek beers available. we are definitely going to be regulars here.
(5)Melissa C.
This has become my favorite Greek food destination. The food taste so fresh. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The place is so immaculately clean you can eat off the floor and if you go at lunch you may have to because people have started to find this gem and it gets busy. We had to share a table with strangers one day because there wasn't a spot left so I hope the expand. Everything I've had has been wonderful and I literally dream about their hummus. My husband loves that he can have a beer but we can still get in and out in 30 min. They don't skimp on portions at all and I often wish I had shared with my husband. Highly recommend!
(5)Tattoo Trav P.
This is by far the best Greek restaurant in the valley. And I would venture to say the best restaurant in the west valley. Fresh delicious great customer service. Welcoming atmosphere.
(5)Yingyang P.
Awesome food and very friendly staff and always nice and clean ! Got the nr 1,8,3 and the brushetta yum !
(5)Sanford R.
This place is well-deserving of its rating. My wife and I were impressed. For starters the staff is welcoming and exceptionally friendly. They seem like they genuinely care about customers and that is refreshing to see. The food is very good, but maybe just shy of outstanding. I did like everything I tried though from the Spanakopita to the gyros. As far as costs I wouldn't say it's a great deal, but the prices are fair and about average. One thing I really loved about this place was that they actually played unique ethnic music. It beats the annoying pop music that the majority of places play and really added something to the experience. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I am looking forward to returning for a second visit.
(4)Mouly B.
The food is delicious. The garlic sauce on the side tastes amazing with just about everything you order. The service was amazing. I was waiting in line to ask for a side of garlic when one of the servers passing by asked me if there was anything he could help me with and I said I was waiting to order the side of garlic and he said he would get it for me so I didn't have to wait in line. Very helpful staff. The hummus was delicious so was the falafel wrap. The veggies were very fresh. The servers were very efficient. The order was on time. Good place to try. I highly recommend it.
(5)Cynthia Q.
Best pitas hands down! Just try it!
(5)Chris Z.
This is a great casual restaurant. The food tastes amazing. The prices are fair (and don't forget that check in bonus). The staff are always friendly. I've been a loyal fan of Golden Greek for years. And I may have found a new favorite gyro in the valley. If only they could have GG's puffy pitas! The Greek fries are amazing. The reddish/pink dipping sauce is addictive. And the rice tastes great. I do kind of wish that the shwarma wraps had a sour pickle in them but that is probably just a personal preference. I'd recommend this to anyone that wants casual Mediterranean food in the west valley.
(5)Chris M.
Excellent food, value, and service. The Greek salad with chicken is all I have had, because I keep ordering the same thing. Multiple hot sauce options, very fast, and such good quality and quantity. Not sure how anyone would be dissatisfied! Also the guys working are very pleasant.
(5)Viviana G.
Best Greek food in town!!! Everything is made fresh, and it tastes delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. Place is very clean. I crave this food all the time, especially their chicken, rice and salad. Pita chips are out of this world! They are must try.
(5)Lashawn S.
Good food. This restaurant has a bit of a 'fast food' lobby set up, but the food is very good. Prices are reasonable and the staff is nice. We visited during a trip through Arizona. . . I had the vegetarian plate (of course) - The falafel was very tasty - not the best I've ever had, but certainly in the top three! If we're in Arizona again, we know where we're eating.
(5)Earl H.
The food is delicious! You have to get the pita bread chips; perfect balance between soft and crunchy. The gyro meat is seasoned well and tasty and everything was brought out fairly quick. I will definitely come back for more :-)
(5)Roland W.
We needed a quick, casual meal before dropping the car off for service. Thanks to yelp Pita Kitchen was just what we needed. Local business, great Greek food, all at a reasonable price. I had the Greek Salad with chicken, my partner had a Chicken Shish Ka Bob. Both were excellent and ample portions.
(5)MariaElena H.
Definitely a winner. We ordered a chicken schwarma and bruschetta because I was not too hungry and wanted to share. The food was more than enough and DELICIOUS! I'm not a fan of tomatoes but thoroughly enjoyed the tomatoes. The service is also exceptional, and I could tell they are appreciative of the business. We were happy to see the small restaurant was packed the entire time we were eating. Can't wait to return!
(5)Jessica D.
First time eating here and I must say the food and the service was amazing! We weren't familiar with the food and the cashier/ server was so helpful. Chicken greek salad, Chicken Kabob and the pita bread were excellent! Thank you!
(5)Tara G.
Stopped here because of the 4.5 star rating. Was not disappointed. We ordered an eggplant pita and a chicken shawarma pita. Both were amazing. The owner was kind and welcoming. I highly recommend them. And if you check in you get 10% off your bill. I had already paid and sat down before I checked in, so I didn't use mine. But nonetheless the prices are quite reasonable and the food is fresh and tasty!
(5)Trent K.
Great schwarma and rice. Tasted as good as haji babas or princess deli in Tempe. Glad to have a place like this on the west side.
(4)Gabe A.
Great food, awesome service, reasonable prices. Been eating here since they opened. Always greeted with a smile and the food is fresh and flavorful. Probably one of the best Gyros I've ever eaten, and the Greek fries are awesome. Great for lunch or dinner, I eat here a couple of times a month.
(5)Felipe R.
I love this place! It has great food, nice small dining area, and great customer service!
(5)Noor B.
Cute restaurant. The hummus is really flavorful and delicious, and the bread is super soft and nice. The pita chips are so good but I know they must be awful for you. The grilled eggplant is really good - nice and light and fairly healthy. Prices are reasonable. I'd go back.
(4)Jennifer G.
Great experience from start to finish. Pleasant staff. Wonderful gyro and greek fries. Large portions. Reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back!!
(5)Jamie D.
I literally thought I had died and gone to heaven after trasting the Greek fries. Hands down the best seasoned fries I've ever eaten. The staff was helpful and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
(5)Brian G.
I have been waiting for a good gyro place in my neighborhood. Very good gyro!!! I had the pita chips and hummus for the side. It was so good I am tempted to come back and have just an order of hummus and pita chips. I am looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other offerings. Next time you're in the area, skip the burger and go Greek!
(4)Paige C.
This was my first time here. I walked in and really enjoyed the atmosphere of the small restaurant. The staff was very friendly. We order a gyro and chicken pita. They were over all good. Good seasoning on the chicken and gyro meat. I wished they would have used better quality or fresher veggies. The baba ghanoush was great! I would go back just for that anytime! Over all good place when you are in a hurry and need a good bite to eat I will try it again.
(4)Andrew K.
This is the best Greek food in town. The chicken schwarma is fantastic, and the garlic sauce (by request) tops it off perfectly. Every item I've tried on the menu is very good. Ryan, the owner, is exceptionally kind, as are his staff. My only gripe is the fountain water (it's quite distasteful), but I'm not going to the Pita Kitchen for their water; I go for their amazing food, very reasonable prices, and top notch customer service.
(5)Nancy S.
This place has great food and great service. Always get the combo platter when passing by the area.
(5)Rebecca A.
Yummy! All of it - found this place searching yelp so glad we stopped in. If you love Greek food this is a great little treasure!
(5)Beauty I.
love it love it! get some! hummus is amazing ...mmmhmm
(5)Neil S.
Excellent food.. Great people working behind the counter.. The pita are always fresh and there is never a long wait for your food. And the owner is almost always the one taking your order.
(5)Rowdy R.
The decor inside isn't anything fancy, but once you get past that you are greeted by a friendly smile. They have Greek music playing thru their speakers which adds a nice touch. It was nice and cold in the restaurant which is exactly what you want on a summer day in Phoenix. I got a gyro and it was packed with meat and had nice flavor. Overall a nice place for lunch.
(4)Tim M.
Ordered a gyro combo and a combination appetizer, also tasted the beef shawarma. Everything was very good and came out to the table quickly. The gentleman working the counter was also helpful in recommending items and was very friendly. I will definitely be going back there in the near future.
(4)Mary Shannon H.
I grew up with relatives from Syria, so this type of food is comfort food to me. My hubby and I went to Pita Kitchen for the first time last week and I was delighted. We just had Shawarma Beef and Lamb pitas, although their menu included appetizers, salads and kebabs as well as pitas. The pitas were fat and full of onions, lettuce, tomatoes and tsatziki sauce as well as tons of meat. Their Baklava is also cut in big satisfying pieces and was really delicious. We are going again as soon as we get a chance! Loved it!
(5)Yvonne H.
Tonight we dined here for the first time and we were not disappointed. FINALLY some place that serves really fresh and wonderful tasting food :) I had the falafel wrap combo with pita chips and hummus. I loved the flavors from the fresh greens and the hot falafels. For me, I need more of the sauce because I like my wraps a bit on the wet side. I wound up eating it all , no leftovers :( My other half had the Shish Kabob platter with chicken and beef. Although he is not a fan of poultry he found the chicken well seasoned, juicy and the marinade to be awesome. And the rice... he's not a carb fan but loved it! We found everyone behind the counter very pleasant, helpful and cheerful. Lots of interesting food items that I need to try for sure! As one reviewer said "Skip the burger and Go Greek"! ..... Well, at least once and you won't regret it. We're just sorry we haven't been in before now but we definitely will be back.. again .. and again! Thank You Pita Kitchen!!
(5)Jessica W.
Good greek food. Not the absolute best hummus Ive had but it hits the spot when I have a craving. The rice was really good. But if I really want good greek, Ill go to King Gyro.
(3)Stephanie F.
I don't know what sort of seasoning they use for the chicken and steak shawarma, but I thought it was disgusting. The gyro was decent and the baklava was ok.
(1)Tyler G.
Very good food. Never been before and the cashier was very helpful with recommending items, nice staff in general. I had the Chicken Pita with greek fries. Everything was the right temperature, great flavors, and looked good. I also enjoyed the Gold peek teas to the side of the drinks. The potion seems big to me but that's not a problem. Defiantly go if you want greek!
(5)Sam S.
Very friendly staff and great food. I'll definitely be going back.
(4)Sophia C.
I went to Pita Kitchen a few weeks ago, and was very excited to get some decent hummus nearby. The staff was friendly, and seemed to know their menu pretty well. I ordered a the Chicken Shawarma with hummus. They accidentally messed up my order and gave me a greek salad. I'm not really one to complain, but I was really craving some hummus. I let the staff know, and they apologized and let me keep the salad as they prepped my hummus. The chef came out and apologized again, then late came out a few minute later to make sure we were enjoying our meal. I was very impressed with their customer service and how professional they were. It was as we were getting fine dining customer service in a fast food style restaurant. Overall, the food was great, and the customer service made it that much better. I will definitely be coming by more often!
(4)Miss C.
I have now been to Pita Kitchen twice this week, I suppose that in itself says something. Checked out this place for the first time when I went with a friend of mine on Tuesday, we went less than an hour before closing and still received very prompt and exceptionally courteous service....very awesome. Said friend and I both got the Gyro pita, generous portion and very fresh pita, it was definitely tasty. The meat was tender. Also inside the pita is tomatoes, onions, and taziki. The onions could be a bit thinner in cut as it was mostly thick slices. And the taziki which they are VERY generous with, is a little thinner than I am used to. Went again today with my mom, she loves Spanakopita, so was excited to find it on the menu. It is listed as an appetizer, so I figured it to be small, and it was, but for the price of less than $3 it was still a good deal. Again, I had the gyro and it was right on with Tuesdays visit. *Note to self: order gyro with taziki on side next time, they are SUPER generous with it! I don't know how the rest of the sides are, but they are generous with the fry portion, making the combo a very filling meal. The regular fries are fine, pretty typical shoestring. The greek fries are not as addictive as they are at My Big Fat with their lemon sauce. However, they are still tasty. They come with extra seasoning, some oregano and feta crumbles. Sprinkle a little lemon on it and they are lovely. What truly stands out at this place is the service. These people are genuinely gracious and appreciative to the customers coming in their restaurant. I don't know if it is just the first week excitement, or if this is how it will always be, but the welcoming demeanor of this place I have seen so far, on top of good food at good prices will definitely keep me coming back. Welcome to the area Pita Kitchen, and thank you for bringing something new to this neighborhood in desperate need of variety and choices!
(5)Marissa R.
Good prices and AMAZING food. I love that there is a GOOD middle eastern place on the west side. I love the staff too as they do seem to really care about customers. Its a small place and does eat in and take out orders.
(5)Luciana L.
Not bad. This place doesn't replace my "fave" Mediterranean food restaurant in Glendale but it does the trick if I don't want to drive all the way out there. The place is a little small and if anybody has ever been in that area, the parking SUCKS so try to avoid going during rush hour if possible. There are booths though, which is a plus if you have a toddler.

We couldn't decide where to eat and finally decided on pita kitchen since it was the closest. We'd never been here and were a bit nervous since the last few Mediterranean/Greek places we'd been to were very disappointing. We ordered our food and the people here were super nice and the wait was very short. We ordered the #9 and 10 and they were amazing!! We will definitely be returning here for the delicious food!

Heavenly delicious! Mediterranean cuisine is my favorite. Pita Kitchen has some of the best Mediterranean food I have eaten (and I've eaten a lot in many cities). Live in Chandler but took our friend to dinner here who lives in Avondale after reading the really good Yelp reviews. He's a picky eater, had never eaten Mediterranean before but loved it. He had the Gyro plate with rice and Greek salad. We ordered the Mediterranean sampler platter for an appetizer and it was fabulous. Comes with hummus, baba ghanouj, taziki dip, dolmas, falafel, tabbouli and pita bread. All very fresh and mouth-watering. The pita bread was very soft and warm. The baba ghanouj is out of this world -- smokey, nutty, spicy. I have never been a huge dolma fan, but I was finally won over here. Husband and I had the falafel pita. The falafel was well seasoned and moist, perfect. Hubby also had the Greek fries which put all other fries to shame. I had a few bites and wanted to snag them when he wasn't looking but decided to mind my manners so I didn't end up sleeping on the couch. :-0 The portions are good size with reasonable prices. Very courteous staff who greet you with a pleasant smile and check on you even though it's a counter order style restaurant. Very clean with nice ambiance for a small, fast food restaurant even though I don't put it in the same category as fast food. We will definitely make the near-hour trip again just to eat here...oh and to visit our friend. Tried to convince the owner to put their next location near Chandler. Maybe we will have to start a petition for that. Haha! At any rate, highly recommend giving it a try. Works well as a family restaurant (kid-friendly menu), dinner dates, for vegitarians/vegans, take-out or catering. Just writing this review is making my mouth water. Just might have to make the drive to Avondale today. Nom Nom!

Super quick and friendly service. Had the gyro pita combo; everything was fresh and delicious!
(4)Maria S.
I had a very pleasant and great experience at Pita Kitchen and am excited to return and try a different plate. Not only was the customer service exceptional but their food was very good as well. My friend and I had the Steak Shawarma with fries, Hummus with Steak Shawarma and Tabouli Salad. Everything was very tasty with a homemade flavor. The Pita bread that came with the Hummus was warm and soft which I love. Everything looked just like the pictures on the menu so there were no surprises other than the delicious flavor. :) We upgraded our dish to the combo so we ordered fries (option we chose, which were really good too) and had unlimited refills with any drink at the fountain! Being that it was a grand opening week they handled the amount of people and orders in a timely manner. The restaurant was very clean, as well as the women restrooms, which is important to me. I highly recommend anyone to go and try it and enjoy the experience we did. Again, delicious food and really great and friendly customer service!

Was actually craving a gyro, came to try this place. Used the yelp check-in discount of course, but still bummed. I ordered the gyro combo(lamb gyro, reg fries, and a drink) and still ended up paying $9. It was good, but could've gotten that same plate for around $6 bucks somewhere else; plus they gave me a lil amount of fries, I giggled. Maybe should've tried something else, played it too safe. There were a lot of patrons in store and it was almost closing time. Will try the hummus and other entrees next visit.
(3)Sasha E.
Yummy tabouli salad, delicious chicken, great Greek fries, pitas are poppin, I can't say enough about how great the food is. The guy in front is always so pleasant and I keep coming back for those addicting chicken kabobs! My husband and I are seriously hooked. The location is always packed since you got the chipotle & smash burger next door, but I'm so glad they got this little Greek joint in the mix, it's my favorite.
(5)Janice H.
We've never had a bad meal here. The chicken.pita is one of the best in the valley! My hubby loves the gyro pita and Greek fries; my favorite side is the Greek salad. Although the pitas are great I crave the chicken shwarma meal with pita chips and rice....not sure what goes into making that rice but I could eat it every day! If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!
(5)Darian G.
We love this place! My family and I eat a Pita kitchen at least once a week. It's a great healthy alternative to pizza. The staff is always so friendly and they go the extra mile to make sure that you're happy. I recommend the chicken kebab plate with roasted tomatoes and cilantro jalapeno hummus. Pita Kitchen never disappoints!!!
(5)Michelle M.
For starters, the customer service here is outstanding! You'll usually catch the manger in the front working and you can just tell that he takes so much pride in this establishment. As for the food? It is absolutely delicious! It will definitely keep you coming back for more. I only wish there were more locations!
(5)Kylie B.
This place is seriously, AMAZING! I'm not that picky when it comes to gyros and already thought they taste great everywhere I get it, but when I tried Pita Kitchen, it showed me a whole new kind of DELICIOUSNESS!!! Try this place out! You won't regret it! They just set the "gyro standards" for me. It's going to be hard to eat it anywhere else now.
(5)Ray T.
Have eaten here a couple times now and it is really good. The service is great and they are always cheerful and helpful. Had the Gyro and Greek Fries and it was very tasty. Wife had a Greek Salad and she said it was good but not as good as the Greek Salad we have at the place in Goodyear we go to. Will definitely be back.
(4)Andrew B.
Bomb.com ! Very good. Got the Falafel and they were nice big falafel, probably the best I have had, French fries were good, hot and crisp. The pita was fresh and soft and the veggies crunchy and rich. Line was big and could not find a place to sit it was so pact and that's how you know it's good. Place should start taking reservations! Can't wait to bring my girlfriend.
(5)Stephanie C.
Great food and even better service!!! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.
(4)Anya H.
Delicious! Love the food & the staff are very friendly too. Reasonable price for the portion of food you get & they don't skimp on anything. Worth trying out if you haven't been here yet.
(5)John S.
I tried Pita Kitchen based on the reviews, I wasn't disappointed. Ordering online was convenient and easy. The staff was friendly and the food was exceptional. The gyro, greek salad and grilled veggies were all cooked to perfection. We will be back. Thank you.
(5)Kathleen S.
Great food and friendly service. I ordered the chicken pita w tzatziki and Greek fries and it was SOOO good!! The Greek fries came in a large bowl and could have fed the family. The herbs on the fries were delicious! We were there on Mother's Day and the owner, I believe, have the mom's a complimentary piece of baklava which my daughter devoured.
(5)BooksandButter K.
We have been here several times. The food is always good, generous portions, and great customer service. I always get the Gyro Platter. My only complaint is the baklava isn't a very generous portion and although the flavor is good, it isn't the best I have had. We will definitely be back for the appetizers and entrees!
(4)Jamie D.
Great food great service stayed open later just to let my bf and I eat in! Very clean! Can't wait to go back
(5)Lucy L.
I really seldom write reviews for restaurants unless they really WOW me.... And Pita Kitchen did just that! The food here is amazing and tastes very authentic. This time I had the chicken schwarma, hummus and pita, and a Greek salad. The chicken was deliously seasoned, the hummus was creamy and the Greek salad tasted so fresh! Come here you must try this place at least once! I don't think you'll regret it!
(5)Rick T.
Yay! I'm a fan is an accurate description. Great food at affordable prices. I love the lime cilantro hummus and the gyros are terrific. Definitely stop and eat. You will know that you had Greek.
(4)Gulzeb N.
We got combo kabob and steak shawarma plate. Both were amazing. One of the best Mediterranean places I have eaten at. The food was very flavorful.
(5)Ammar T.
Good customer service along with great gyros and shawarma. I will bring my friends in here next time I come :)
(5)Samantha G.
Not only was the staff nice enough to accommodate my low carb diet by substituting rice and pita bread for extra greens instead, but the food is DELICIOUS! I felt like i was cheating on my diet, but I totally wasn't..... Can't wait to go back tonight with my kiddos!
(5)Mark S.
Extraordinary food, consistently delicious and authentic tasting. We know we come here for a great quality meal every time we visit. Prices are fair and customer service is good.
(5)Alex P.
This is basically a lower scale version of Pita Jungle with better prices and IMO just as good of food. The service is quick and the people are friendly.
(5)Keary K.
We have frequented this restaurant since it opened, and it has never disappointed! Delicious food, wonderfully friendly staff and good prices... There are so many delicious items to choose from. The gyros are superb (everything on this sandwich is legit: from the pita, to the tzatziki, to the meat freshly carved off the spit... so gooood!) The chicken kabobs are amazing as well, perfectly seasoned and tender... yummy! The hummus with tabbouleh is always fresh, delicious and tasty. The owner has been there every time that we have dined in and he is a wonderful and gracious host- making sure that his guests are happy and well fed! Support this fantastic local business!
(5)Mac H.
I have to say ~~ I LOVE THIS PLACE... My husband took me here just once and I was hooked. My fav is their chicken schwarma and greek fries. OMG... Sooo amazing. The staff are always friendly, nice and they remember me. I love the deco of the place, it makes me feel so comfy. The food at this place is awesome. So fresh and yummy. I love coming here every chance I get. Thanks for always hooking us up. I cant wait to see them again real soon.
(5)C A.
Good food. The lady at the counter was nice. We ordered a couple gyros, a Greek Salad and pita with hummus. Similar to Crazy Jim's on 15th avenue.
(4)Dan M.
Their Greek salads are great! So is anything with their chicken shawrwa... shwawar... shawama... the chicken is awesome!
(5)Aaron R.
Simple menu, decent prices, good food. Had the gyro and greek fries and the only negative is that the pita started to fall apart. Otherwise, great flavors and filling. I look forward to trying the few other items on the menu and definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a gyro.
(4)Christien H.
This place was great! Service, food, atmosphere were all wonderful. The staff was really helpful and courteous.
(5)Julie K.
Met friends here for dinner a week ago. Staff was friendly, place was clean, and the food was good.
(3)Leo F.
Guess what I try the Gyros and I got hook. Fresh and tasty. Home like environment. They also provide you with free refills and WiFi. What a deal, Give Pita Kitchen a try you Got nothing to lose.
(5)Marz Y.
The best place to eat the gyro was good!! its a double thumbs up the atmosphere is awesome...
(5)John Z.
Call it Mediterranean or Greek food or whatever you like. The owner/ manager is Lebanese and this place has hands down the best Kabobs in Phoenix. To the Yelper complaining about the pita bread being fluffy- Sorry, but that's what you use for authentic Kabobs. Meat cut off of vertical skewers- again, these guys know what they are doing. I had the opportunity to have what are claimed to be the best Kabobs in Berlin, Germany ( yes, there are a lot of immigrants there) and these rank right up there. Add a manager who is hands on and actually concerned that his customers are happy and you have a great place for fantastic food at a reasonable price.
(5)Vanessa-Craig R.
This place is GOOD, all caps. The restaurant is clean, service is great and the food is the bees knees. My husband and I ordered the hummus and tabbouleh, beef gyro with fries, chicken schwarma, a side of rice for our son (he's a toddler) and baklava. Let me point out that my husband and I were both stationed in Turkey (It's where we met, Awww) so were a bit picky when it comes to Mediterranean food and this place passed. The gyro was perfectly seasoned, salty, crunchy, saucy all warmly wrapped in pita bread. The chicken schwarma was the same, the chicken was juicy with just the right about of vegetables and sauce (I added siracha because I love spicy and they offer it). I'd been reading about the delicious fries and the ones my husband got were plain, when I asked about the feta that was supposed to smother them I was told I had to order Greek fries. Even though it was my fault for ordering wrong the owner gave us a free order of Greek fries and they, are, addicting. The tabbouleh was just as citrusy as I remember from turkey. The only reason I didn't go with 5 stars is that the hummus is kind of bland and the baklava, although delicious, wasn't the crispy, pistachioy goodness I was craving. Overall this place is great. If you have any issues remember that this place has only been open 2 weeks and they are doing an amazing job. Chok guzel!
(4)Matt W.
We have eaten here a good 4-5 times in the last few months and I believe they have been listening to their review to fix smaller issues. I absolutely love their food and the wife does too. We have tried a few different plates and have no real complaints as of yet. We can usually get out of there with 2 dinners and a app. for under 35 dollars so the price point is less than some of the competing Greek joints in the Goodyear / Avondale area. This seems like a family run joint and the service has always been fantastic and I always feel super welcome when I'm here. I have had no issues with absurd waiting or problems with my order. This is a great joint on our side of town and I would suggest it to my Yelp buddies.
(4)Richard M.
Pretty good. The meat is fresh and flavorful. I'd given it 5 stars if the pitas were a little more flavorful but all together a good Greek place. Inside is clean and the service is fast.
(4)Casey B.
This place is awesome! The Chicken Shawarma is unbelievable and Gyro's are delicious! The staff is on point and good natured, they were super friendly to my daughter. I eat there several times a week. Check out their website at pitakitchen.net and then pay them a visit you won't be sorry.
(5)Jamie G.
The staff was friendly without being overbearing, the restaurant was very clean (even the high chairs were wiped down!), and the food was great! Casual dining at its best!
(5)Clare W.
I love this place, the one thing we have been missing here in west Phoenix was a good tasty Med food place and with Pita Kitchen we have it now.. been there at least 12 times, and never been unhappy....
(5)Joell H.
Been looking for a good gyros close to home for awhile. Hit the spot!! Better than Gyro Express in my opinion and the manager is amazing!
(5)Erick R.
The pitas are awesome and the salads are huge. Very nice and clean and the staff are very friendly. I'm glad we stopped here
(5)Siam M.
We waited for over 20 minutes for a simple gyro and steak shwarma combo with fries. There was also 5 other groups waiting for their food also just as long. The staff seemed more concerned about filling some to-go orders from a couple of customers who came in afterwards and left before us before we even received our food. The meat on my gyro was warm but was not seared crispy. The tzatziki was bland, little onions/tomato, and the pita bread was falling apart. The chicken shwarma was dry but had some flavor. Greek fries were good but was thrown off by the serving bowl it came in. I swear they stole the bowls from Ghenghis Grill.
(1)Jake A.
I'll keep this sort and sweet. There are a lot of Greek/Mediterranean places out here in the west valley but Pita Kitchen is the one worth driving down from Surprise to go to. It's worth the trip every time!
(5)John Paul A.
The food was good, service was excelent, this place just opened last week and so far so good. I had the Chicken Shawarma with fries, lean chicken, needed more sauce but that's an easy fix. The fry's tasted just like McDonald's which is a good thing! Prices were pretty good too! Glad to finally have a Greek Place in the West Valley.
(4)Ethan D.
Great food, will be back! I had a gyro, wife had a shawarma, the 9 year-old had a gyro too and we all loved it. We also had hummas for an appetizer. Nice and clean tastes across the board.
(5)S G.
Gyro's are the best in the west valley. Greek Salad is also really good. Wife and I have had takeout from here several times. Never unhappy with our food or service. It's close, but I'd say Pita Kitchen is a bit better than Greek Gyro Express. Prices are very reasonable too.
(4)Rich F.
If you're driving along the 10 Fwy. in Avondale this is the place to go for good food. The chicken kabob's are good. Prices and portion sizes are good.
(4)Shai M.
This place is great. The food is done right and the owner knows what he's doing. Hope this place grows and stays around for a long time.
(5)Tara C.
I have been on a Greek salad kick lately and decided to not eat at Smashburger and give Pita Kitchen a whirl. I was a little apprehensive spending $9 (8.69) on a Greek salad with chicken but told myself it would be huge and I would have to eat it over 2 sittings. I was NOT disappointed. There is a huge heap of chicken in this salad and it's not just a grilled chicken breast chopped over a Greek salad; it's chicken SHAWARMA - beautifully seasoned, tender and moist. There were chunks of feta as opposed to just tiny crumbles and their dressing was amazing! My brother and I butt heads over Greek salad dressing; he prefers to have it with vinegar strong enough to clean your pipes, and his go to is George's Gyros. I prefer a more mellow dressing that allows me to keep my eyes open whilst eating and have come to frequent Z's Greek, down the road from my house. This dressing was by far the BEST I've had. I will definitely be back!
(5)Nonda R.
Excellent food and the pita bread is nice and fresh. My husband got the chicken gyro and it was excellent. Could use a little bit of seasoning on the fries or some feta cheese would be great. Otherwise will be going back and it is nice to have a Gyro location closer to us. Very friendly staff.
(5)Debbie T.
Hubby and I love gyros, and we read the great reviews, plus this place is close to home. We went in one evening, and I will admit, the place was immaculate and the service was great. Everyone was nice and kept checking up on us. The gyros were okay. I enjoy tomatoes in my gyro, and at first, thought there weren't any. After a bit, I realized they were flat on the bottom. The tzatziki sauce tasted a bit generic. The pita was very nice. We both got salads with them, and they were alright. Not sure if we'll go again.
(3)Nadia I.
Highly recommend this place! delicious middle eastern food and fairly priced! we needed a place like this in the west valley, so people living in the west valley try them out, you wont be sorry!
(5)Dan H.
Restaurant was clean, friendly service, reasonable prices and food was great. Only disappointment was the fries.
(5)Anne L.
Good food. Well prepared. Had the cilantro Jalepeno Hummus with Steak and the Chicken Schwarma.
(4)Scott H.
I can't think of a place in Phoenix with better chicken shawarma sandwiches and the Greek salad that comes with the combo is a great value with excellent dressing. We also like the tabouli and the spanakopita. We wish they offered iced tea but this is an otherwise great choice for lunch or dinner!
(4)Melissa C.
Wow! The tabbouli salad here was impressive, fresh and delicious. The gyro meat was thickly sliced, ot thinly sliced like most greek places serve. The hummus was flavorful and had a kick to it. Maybe paprika? The pita chips are fried in house. They where served hot and greasy. My entire dining experience here was amazing and alot $$$$ cheaper than the other greek place that we frequent! FREE WIFI at this place! Not bad. ***You will need some serious mouthwash when you're done eating here. So I don't recommend it if you're out on a date*** smooch smooch, no, no!
(5)Karla P.
We have been coming here since they opened. We were so excited to have a good Mediterranean restaurant open on the west side of town. The service is always quick and friendly.
(5)Marsha H.
It's rare to find a place that deserves 5 stars these days. Food is great, owners and service is amazing. Best thing is the hummus and pita chips! We love this place!
(5)Maggie B.
I had read good reviews on this restaurant. I ordered the falafel pita. The falafel balls were very overcooked, underseasoned, and very dry, hard balls. There was no sauce. I went and asked for tzaziki (sp?). The sauce did not have the garlicky flavor to it. There was certainly not enough to help moisten the balls. I also had a side of jalapeno cilantro hummus. It really needed more jalapeno and cilantro. It did have good flavor otherwise. The fried pita chips that came with the hummus were crispy warm, but very greasy like the oil was not hot enough to cook them. I was very disappointed. I was expecting more robust flavors associated with Middle Eastern foods.
(2)Judge R.
Good quality service and food,place is clean,lighting is just right with some nice background music and the employes are good people trying to make a good name for the restaurant. I wish them the best every time i visit..!
(5)W S.
Great food and service, huge portions and they give a military discount.
(5)BM C.
Pita Kitchen is HANDS DOWN the best new Mediterranean in town. Secondly, it knocks the socks off of every other place on the west side The restaurant was spotless, beautifully/tastefully decorated, comfortable and classy. Moreover, the food was savory, fresh, juicy, zesty and perfectly put together. With all of that, I was shocked to see how inexpensive it was. The service was also extremely efficient, friendly and quick!!! Most of all the owners clearly run their business with integrity and pride, and it made me VERY happy to support them given that they've created the perfect "everyday style food" restaurant! MY MOM DOESN'T EVEN LIKE LAMB, AND SHE SAID IT WAS THE BEST GYRO SHE'D EVER HAD!!! That's saying something!!! :-)
(5)Amoreena P.
the food is super good, the gyros are huge and tasty... love the chicken ka-bob meal, glad its on the west side ;)
(5)Michelle T.
Everything was awesome. Tried the cilantro hummus and it is worth getting it Togo. The owner walked around and asked how it was and was ready to clean off the tables. Very clean environment as well.
(5)Jorge H.
So I've been frequenting this fine establishment for the last few years and I gotta say this place never disappoints. There service is amazing they're always smiling and making you feel welcomed and there food OMG there food beats the service which is impossible to comprehend but it does!!! I lve tried a few different items and have always left satisfied today however I went in with a different mindset as in I needed some comfort food. This is where Pita Kitchen excels, I ordered the gyros entree and Greek bruschetta, first time for the latter which came out 1st and I'm so glad it did because it was one of the most pleasant surprises I've encountered in any food establishment in a very long time. Soon after the entree showed up and like I said I've had it many times before but that didn't matter because it tasted like the very first time again which needless to say is pretty epic. I could write a novel and not do this gem of a place justice so I'll leave with the tip that if you love amazing food and great service it doesn't matter what part of the valley you are in, it is definitely worth the drive and some.
(5)Terry F.
Wonderful Mediterranean 'fast food'. The gyros are wonderfully flavorful and packed full of well seasoned meat. Garlic sauce is an option on the pitas and highly recommended by this reviewer. Portions are plentiful and should satisfy the heartiest of appetites - split a combo meal if you are a smaller eater. Service is wonderful and they really seem to like their customers and their business. Would be a regular at this place if we lived in Phoenix.
(5)Francesco C.
Great people and great food. The man at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Not your everyday fast food joint. The food was delicious and fresh. And we are at the end of the night. I would go back, no question!
(5)Stacy Z.
Seriously phenomenal Middle Eastern food. Like ridiculously good. Eat here. Order the Greek fries. Thank me later. This is a little hole in the wall on the corner of 99th and McDowell (same plaza as Hobby Lobby) but located in the smaller strip of stores at the other end of the parking lot. Looks to be run by 2, maybe 3 guys. I've eaten my fair share of Middle Eastern food and this is some of the best I've had in Phoenix. The garlic sauce is awesome. I can't even guess what's in it but I'm sure unicorn blood is involved. I had the steak schwarma and hummus and hubby had the chicken souvlaki. His chicken was so perfectly cooked that we couldn't decide if it was white or dark meat. It had the flavor of white meat but was moist like dark meat. The hummus was delicious and it had a bit of a kick but it wasn't overly spicy or anything. It was all delicious and came with generous amounts of pita bread for dipping. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes and the Yelp check in bonus was a 10% discount off of the bill. Service was super friendly and helpful and we will definitely be back. Well done gentlemen. Glad to have found you in the West Valley.
(5)Wes H.
Delicious food and truly delightful workers. One of the workers noticed I was almost out of their delicious sauce and offered to bring me another! Didn't even know I could get more. Love this place
(5)Jennifer H.
Best Greek food I have ever had!!!! After multiple recommendations, a couple girlfriends and I decided to finally check it out. Oh my goodness..... This place us excellent! The pita chips, crunchy on the outsides, chewy on the inside. The gyro was so flavor able. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Pita Jungle is over rated in comparison. The service was very friendly.
(5)Allison S.
My boyfriend and I live about 2 minutes away from this place so we are frequent patrons. We love it!!! Have always had awesome food. It comes out fresh and the portions are generous! I love the eggplant and the greek salad. The boy loves...everything. Their hummus... I crave it all the days! Absolutely recommended!!
(5)Lizett B.
The chicken kabob plate is always my go to for lunch or dinner! Chicken is perfectly seasoned and very juicy! I usually get the cilantro humus and half salad it's more than enough for one person at a great price. I lo e that they have kid friendly items as well. The place is very clean and well kept and the service is excellent! Very humble and accommodating! I am always recommending this place.
(5)Stuart P.
Great gyro. Fries were awesome. Super friendly service. Place was packed, but not too crowded for comfort.
(5)Laura R.
Great gyros and dolmas. We've done both carry out and dined in and had good experiences.
(4)Evelyn L.
I'm at Pita Kitchen at least once a week, it is seriously that good. Their chicken entrees are really good if you've never had Mediterranean food before. The hummus is really good not sure if the pita is made there or if they buy it pre-made but it's good I always feel like you can't have enough. If want to play it safe and try a little bit of the best just order the Combo Kabob entree, and get the hummus instead of the Greek salad. You'll thank me later. I don't know if I should be reviewing the gyros since I'm not a very big fan. The first time I was there I had Chicken Shawarma pita, it was really good, but I'm not a big fan. So I've never had them again not saying it's bad or anything. The owners are also friendly the man which I think is the owner is always very polite and is whiling to explain anything. It seems to be family owned which is nice to still see.
(5)Roger L.
Food was excellent. Gyro pita and kabob sandwich. Fries hot and crispy, pita bread hot, meat was tasty. Service was a little slow.
(4)RM J.
I did not enjoy the food. Had the gyro entree - meat had annoying aftertaste, rice was bland. Fries were pathetic. Greek salad was excellent. Don't understand the high reviews they have rec'd.
(2)Douglas P.
Ate dinner this week at Pita Kitchen based on many Yelp reviews. Everything about this restaurant confirms the Pita Kitchen's five star review status. We had a large Greek salad, a steak schwarma pita sandwich,, and Greek Fries. The food was excellent, the service friendly and helpful, and the prices very reasonable. Each of our entrees was quickly and well prepared, was well seasoned, and attractively presented. The Greek fries with feta cheese were the best french fries we have ever eaten. We will return to the Pita Kitchen every time we visit the Phoenix area. The Pita Kitchen is family-owned and operated. They earned our five star recommendation.
(5)Ayaunna B.
First time trying the place while on a hummus mission with my cousin. Found Pita Kitchen on Yelp and decided to try. Excellent decision! Fresh food, moist meats (chicken and gyros) and really good dressings. The garlic dip is amazing as well as the Greek dressing. I really like the fresh, homemade taste of the food and the staff was really friendly.
(5)Sheila N.
Loved it! Got the chicken and pita chips with jalapeño hummus.
(5)Nick M.
Love this place, GREAT food and by far the best customer service i have ever experienced. They make you feel like you have been their friend for years even if you'd only just walked in for the first time. The Greek Fries are AMAZING! . This place is a real gem.
(5)Michael P.
Chicken shwarma entree was awesome! Garlic sauce really unique. Our server Jackie was very friendly. We need a Pita Kitchen im California!
(5)Jared R.
I really like this place and can't get enough of it. As one of the few places that is close enough to my work for me to get there and back during my lunch break this is a true go to for me. I tried the chicken shawarma my first time there and have a hard time convincing myself to try anything else since it was so goo. The flavors are fantastic and the chicken is moist and perfectly cooked. The portion on the plate is great too as it comes with plenty of rice and salad along with a warm pita and some tahini sauce. I did try the steak as well and while it was still really good I wouldn't pick it over the chicken unless I needed a change of pace meal. The prices are right inline with what you would expect and I am always greeted warmly and with great customer service, I do take out a lot and the phone service is just as nice and orders ready when they say they are. If you are in the area I highly recommend checking them out.
(5)Marcos G.
I love Gyros pitas, I found out this place was for a while and didn't see it, so anyways... Took my wifey for some Gyro's and Greek Fries. She loved it , try the Blakava very tasty. I know some places have their Cons and Pros ... I go for the taste and service. That makes customers come back. This is my third time , and going for more... not to expensive the price is just right and fills you up. Check out the Pita Kitchen.....
(5)Sallie D.
Amazing - the Baba Ganouche is scruptious. Pita chips were melt in your mouth good. Chicken and rice absolutely delicious. Super affordable - not a ton of ambiance, but the food is the star of the show here.
(5)L. C.
Excellently prepared. Great customer service. The schwarma and gyro are great, hummus and greek salad fantastic. I wish I lived closer to eat here every day!

Your Gyro yumminess Hit this place up and was impressed by the fast service, tasty food, portion size, and nice owner. The gyro meat is very tender and is missing the nasty oiliness I've come to expect from other Greek restaurants. The pita fries were new to me I polished them off. Tip: There's an occasional coupon in the West Valley View that makes a visit a great deal.

I've been to Pita Kitchen a few times now. I first found this place about a year and a half ago when I was in town visiting family. Tony Stark from Avengers left me wondering what the heck shawarma was. So I searched Yelp and found this great place. I have ordered the chicken shawarma, with pita chips and hummus each time I have been there. It has been delicious every time. Thank you Pita Kitchen, I will be back next time I am in town.

I admit to being confused by the review posted before mine: to compare this place to the Golden Greek is like comparing McDonald's to the Russian Tea Room! Granted, they both serve Greek food; but no matter what your opinion about the Golden Greek (and mine isn't good: see my review of them!), this place is, like most "Greek" places in the Valley, a pseudo-fast food restaurant, while the Golden Greek serves actual meals. I also don't get the line about the pita bread: the pita bread here is of the cheapest sort: fluffy and thick. You may like that; but "real" pita bread is like the ones served at the Golden Greek and Haji Baba's (for example): thin and doughy. Prices are fair? Yeah, that's about right ... "fair" as in on a scale from "bad" to "excellent": the appetizers (hummus, babaganouj, dolmas, etc.) are priced fairly in comparison to other places, but that doesn't mean they're good: $6+ for a "large" appetizer, which, while "wide" on the plate is not deep, is not "fair". I won't even bother talking about the dolmas, because NOWHERE is that a good deal; it's a top money maker for all Mediterranean restaurants: 5 or 6 dolmas for $ 5.00, when you can get a large can of about 60 or more for the same price (try the market at Baiz or Haji Baba). Now the taste: the hummus was interesting. Tasty and with a touch of cayenne pepper. Very unusual for hummus, but, you know what? It worked: definitely wiped out any expected blandness, but was not strong enough to overpower. Good job there. The babaganouj was strange. Again: tasted good. But it wasn't very "smoky" and the consistency was almost buttery. Both traits very uncommon for this dish. The dolmas were excellent, but obviously straight out of the can. Thankfully, very firm (just the way I like them). The Greek salad was good, but nothing spectacular. For a fast food place like this --- and yes, I'm sorry: I would classify this as a "fast food" joint --- it was especially good. My partner said the chicken shwarma was good, but he was glad he had sides, because it wouldn't have come close to being enough for him by itself (then again, if any of you have read my reviews, you know already that his athletically muscular build hides an enormous appetite ... one day, we went to a buffet and Godzilla was impressed with how much he ate! ... Pretty bad, when you can outeat a Japanese dinosaur). Decor in the restaurant is nice, though, when it's crowded, it's quite noisy: my loss, but obviously their gain ... they're not there to run an empty joint. Seating, however, is VERY limited: we saw two families open the door and leave shortly afterwards: there's only 6 booths and 2 tables, so it doesn't take a lot of people to fill it. Overall, if you have a craving for Mediterranean food and are willing to not expect a whole lot, then this place is more than acceptable. But it in no way compares to the Golden Greek or any other "real" restaurant, regardless of whether the food is better or not.

The owner takes great pride in his restaurant and it shows. He is always pleasant and has a smile on his face even though he works seven days a week. Everything on the menu is delicious especially the chicken Schwarma and the homemade pita chips and cilantro jalapeno hummus. Skip the chains and go to this establishment. Best of the best.
(5)Rose K.
I decided to try this place out because of all the fantastic reviews I read. The reviews don't lie, this place is wonderful. The place is small and very cute. When I walked up to order I was greeted very politely and the man at the register gave me suggestions since it was my boyfriend and my first time there. We both got the gyro one with pita and hummus and the other with the Greek fries(?). The hummus is good, I have only ever had hummus at pita jungle. Their hummus was much different but very tasty. The fries though! They were absolutely delicious. The gyro came in a warm pita, and the meat was hot and topped with tomatoes, onions and their fantastic tzatiki(?). I think the thing that upset me most about eating here was not having enough room in my stomach to eat every last bite. The staff is very polite, and the food is amazing. This place is now one of my go-to places.
(5)Heather J.
My family stopped in for the first time today and were really surprised in how dead the place was. The portions were huge and the food was yummy. The fries were just okay but the gyro and the schwarma were great!
(4)Jimmy J.
Fantastic! I have eaten MANY Gyros and this was the best. The fried pita chips with hummus is a brilliant idea! (also good with ketchup) Quality stuff here, clean place, friendly staff. Give it a try!
(5)Ella M.
Brand spankin' new place on the west side. I was excited when I saw the word Pita because that automatically brings goodies like Gyros and hummus to mind! I was greeted with a smile by the guy behind the counter. The menu isn't big, but there is a good selection of Greek deliciousness. I went with "old faithful" and had a gyro. I decided on the hummus and pita chips as my side (you can choose from the hummus and pita chips or fries) The hummus was good and the pita chips were very tasty. Not too crunchy and not just warmed bread. Now to the gyro. Uh..."I believe I ordered the LARGE cappuccino! HELLO!" (If you get that movie reference give yourself a flying knuckle bump with a massive explosion at the end because YOU ROCK! This thing was HUGE! Fully loaded (I chose no onions because...no me gusta raw onions) with tomatoes and a very flavorful tzatziki. The pita bread was perfect and didn't fall apart as it has at other establishments. Very worth the money and very close by! I'll be frequenting this and now I have more to choose from on 99th and McDowell on my way home!
(4)Tiffany H.
This is my third visit in about a month, and I finally decided to write a review. This place is really amazing, I always saw it because my sister loves the Chipotle next door but I can't stand that place, so I decided to try it out and I have not regretted the decision. I always get the food to go, so I can't comment much on the service, but the worker at ordering is always super friendly, even with my weird order of separating everything.(Sometimes there is too much sauce and the pita gets soggy on To Go orders) The only thing I've ordered so far is the Chicken Shawarma combo with Pita chips and hummus. But that's because it's just so good I can't get myself to order something else because I always crave it.
(5)Kiki L.
Great food, great atmosphere, and great service for casual dining! Best quick Greek fix!
(5)Boyoung K.
I was driving through Phoenix and was looking for a place to eat. I actually saw a sign waving person, and was totally excited because I was CRAVING Greek food for a while. Firstly, this place is awesome because they have AC which is a bonus in Phoenix. Secondly, they have free wifi, and thirdly they have a yelp check in deal...im sold! Most importantly, their food was really good. I ordered a combo kebab and a "spanakopita" and both were really delish! The pita here is nice a warm, and the meat was flavorful and juicy. The spanakopita had a great flaky crusty. I really loved the sauces here too, the garlic sauce was an excellent addirion ro the kebab. I also have to give major props for the service. The person who took my order was really friendly and totally made the experiecne wonderful. If i ever go back to Phoenix, totally stopping by. Thank you Pita Kitchen!
(5)Kristin L.
My husband and I went in here for the first time a few days ago after reading the stellar reviews. We were not disappointed - though I am a huge fan of Pita Jungle's hummus, the hummus at Pita Kitchen is great. Different (it's warm instead of cold, and they don't have red bell pepper, which is my favorite), but very tasty. Oh, and their pita bread? Fresh, warm, amazing. All of the food we tried was wonderful, especially the Greek fries. Oh man, am I sucker for Greek fries! The employees are very friendly and helpful as well. Love this place, we will definitely be going back very soon!
(5)Ana P.
We LOOOOOOVE this restaurant! There are quite a few restaurants at this intersection, but this one is the best. Excellent authentic food, genuine service, family-owned, they go out of their way to make your experience great. Prices are good, service does not lag time-wise. It's just a great place, whether you're eating in or taking out.
(5)Sen L.
This place is legit. The pita bread is warm and soft, not everyone might dig it but DAMN SON the cilantro jalapeno hummus is the bomb. Like my other homre had said earlier, get the Greek Fries unless you don't like fantastical flavor explosion in your mouth. The staff is CHILLL dawg, they answered all the stupid questions I had and were friendly the whole way through. Drinks were served quickly and food up prompt. I don't know why you are still reading this, if you are hungry and ain't a hater for food go get it. oh and it's pretty light on the wallet. peace.
(5)Lou C.
This is the best Greek restaurant I've been to in Arizona. Besides the food, the service is second to none, and the place is always very clean. It's well worth the drive, no matter what part of the Valley you live in.
(5)Joyce F.
oh my! love this place. went there once a week while traveling for work and i wish i was there now. ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich with garlic sauce and hummus. the sandwich is big so i didn't finish it but the garlic sauce is something. the pita chips with the hummus are amazing. crunchy but soft in the middle. to die for.
(5)Mike A.
This place gets it. Although busy at lunch, greeted with a smile. Order was at my table pretty quickly. My order was right, but I saw many folks send theirs back because it was wrong. I am picky when it comes to gyros, these were awesome! My second time there, and I will be back.
(5)Shawn G.
I will not be going back to this restaurant for a long time if ever again. I always order the chicken kabob Greek salad with the chicken chopped to avoid undercooked chicken yet the chicken has been pink on many occasions. In my last salad the "hand chopped" tomatoes were too large. Literally, a whole tomatoe was cut into 4 pieces. The cucumbers were old transparent and soggy and there was not much lettuce. I also ordered the large hummus which was of a pudding consistency with too much lemon added. And i usually get 2 pita breads with my order and today i got 4, all with yellow spots..perhaps they add butter now? I called to inform them of my unsatisfied order and was interrupted while I was going over what was wrong. Only redeeming factor was their offer to remake my food but after having it made so many times with unsafe chicken I could not accept that as a solution. I don't know if they changed cooks but everything was prepared different today. I liked coming here knowing I could eat a healthy meal when I was crunched on time but now it seems that is not the case anymore. Next time I want Greek food I will go to 59th ave and olive.
(1)Derrick C.
Short and simple review: this place is yummy! Great value!
(5)Liz C.
Reimun from Pita Kitchen did everything to make the situation better, Today I tried the #8 chicken and hummus! Delicious....and Reimun made sure that everything was perfect!! Will come back!! Thank you Reimun!
(5)Brian T.
So, I rarely write reviews, because I am either always running late for something or I am just not that easily impressed I suppose. However, what gets my attention is consistency! When the food is consistently fresh, tastes good, and always better than you expect it or remember it, that is noteworthy. So, if you haven't checked this place out yet, then you're missing out. Take it from a natural skeptic. Keep it up PITA KITCHEN! A+++
(5)Mariana V.
Food is exceptional, this is one of my favorite lunch spots! The staff goes above and beyond too
(5)Chris B.
great Gyro !!! my wife and I have been here 2 times and the gyro is very good and the service was good as well. Looking forward to going back and trying something else!!
(5)Keenan M.
Stopped in for some Mediterranean comfort food and boy were me and my wife impressed! Our first couple of experiences eating here where so so which left me apprehensive about eating here again. Today's customer service and food where absolutely fantastic and I commend them for the excellent presentation of their dishes and the overall taste. I love Cane's (especially the Cane's sauce) so I will have some tough decisions to make in the future.
(5)Andre T.
I haven't been here in over a year and this place still rocks. 5 star, still the best Gyro's in town.
(5)Jason J.
Well done and great flavors without having a shawarma dripping in your sleeve.... which is what allot of Lebanese restaurants do to compensate for food lacking real flavor. Although I did not order them I would highly recommend the pita chips, they received rave reviews from my coworker's.
(5)Your M.
This place has the charm, character and flavor of a small shop you're much more likely to see in a place like New York City than Phoenix and I always enjoy eating here. Such a great place. It always makes me feel good to eat there. A small shop with reasonably priced, healthy, fresh, delicious food served by a friendly small business owner. I wish there were 100 more places like this in Phoenix.
(5)Jennifer M.
I can never get myself to try anything new because the #1 with Greek fries forever has its hold on me! I know I'm missing out on a lot of other great options also and maybe one day I'll give in but today is not the day. First off, always, I repeat always go for the upgrade and get the Greek fries! There is a vinaigrette of some sort they put on their fries that give those frenchies an extra pop of delicious flavor. Secondly, I'm never disappointed with my gyro here. The flavors are always on point and the amount of meat they put in the pita is more than substantial. You definitely get more then what you pay for here and I couldn't be happier that it's just down the road from me!
(5)Victoria G.
This place is A-OK. A solid 3 stars. I travel a lot and admittedly I'm a tough critic when it comes to Greek/Mediterranean restaurants. I usually order the same thing (the Mediterranean Sampler, i.e. vegetarian mezze platter) at every place, so I have a pretty good gauge on these things... That being said... This place is good, especially for where it's located. But nothing really stood out as over-the-top AMAZING. However, I'd be happy to go back. Portion sizes seemed on-par with the pricing. Service was slow but friendly. Food quality (i.e. taste, freshness, etc.) was A-OK. You won't go wrong going here - but it's not a standout experience. Just good ole' Greek food in a fast-food setting. My partner ordered a Greek salad with salmon on top. It was all prepared well - but again, very basic and nothing that stood out to us.
(3)B C.
I was definitely a fan. The location is kind of a biscuit to get into because the parking lot is always crazy packed. Inside it was fine when i went. I got the gyro as I always do at Mediterranean places. Also rice and salad.... I liked it and will go back.
(5)Anisa G.
Definitely will come back again, I had the chicken Chipotle pita with Greek fries on the side and it was delicious! ! (:
(5)Sabrina G.
Excellent food, excellent service. We were new to try this and was unsure of some of the menu items. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. We had chicken pittas with the garlic sauce. Good sized portion. We will return to try other menu items.
(5)Katrina L.
This was my favorite place to eat their chicken Greek salad was the best!! And my girls loved the pita chips! However the last time I was there the food just wasn't the same! It will not be my first pick like it used to be.
(3)Matthew S.
So it is 7:30 PM when I order my food revived it at 7.45 not bad. There were 2 other tables dining in. They seem to be more of a grab and go. I have seen 3 people pick up food to go and there are 3 more waiting. Cleanliness it is not very clean. As I look around there are 2 tables that have crumbs on the tables and chairs. I had to wipe down my own table and the sign they gave me as an order number was gross. I used a napkin to touch it. I actually thought of leaving but I allready paid so I am going to try it. Notice my plate had finger marks from oily gloves I assume. Food. 4 out of 5. It was good and I would come back if it was cleaner. I know they want to keep cost down but I would pay more to eat at a clean restaurant. As is I will not be back.
(3)Melissa W.
We had another great meal here. This is a fun place to eat and try something different. The trio is amazing. The staff is great.
(4)Steven T.
Delicious! Best Greek food I've ever had. Food is excellent and the service is amazing. Food is always fresh. My favorite restaurant in town by far.
(5)Misty M.
This place is not worth what they charge, its nothing compared to what the food is really suppose to taste like.
(1)Tricia B.
Best Greek food in town! They are always so friendly and their food is always on point. I would recommend this place to any of my friends. I'm sad I won't be in Phoenix anymore to enjoy this delicious food!
(5)Alfredo S.
I had the "Mediterranean Sampler," I swapped the Dolmas for more Falafels and it wasnt too bad. Hummus had great flavor, and the Falafels were cooked perfectly! Will definetly be back, helps me avoid the drive to Pita Jungle!
(3)DeeJayy F.
I ate here about a month ago. My fiancée wanted Chipotle but I decided to venture out and try a Gyro from here. I ordered it to go but when I got home it was still steaming hot. The meat had so much flavor and wasn't dry at all. The gyro was so large my fiancée ended up eating half and he loved it. It was his first time ever eating one and he is looking forward to going back. Friendly staff and great food make this a wonderful place to eat! My only gripe is that the Baklava was possibly the worst I've ever had. It was extremely salty and just terrible. Skip the desserts!
(5)DeNaya B.
This place IS the bomb! I tried it with my bestie strictly on a whim based on successful Yelp reviews and I must say that this has far exceeded my expectations!!!!!! I ordered the chicken shawarma pita and Greek fries ( it was my first time having them) everything was so good.
(5)Chad R.
Fresh. Delicious. So much flavor happening, glad they are not closer cause I would be here everyday.
(5)Joan A.
Cheap and delicious. What more could you want? Pita Kitchen might possibly be my favorite greek place in the valley. I dont know why Ive only tried it now. Upon walking in, you go straight to the counter to order then find yourself a table. Food came out in good time - around 10-15 mins. Everything I've tried was so delicious. All the hummus came with warm, soft, and pillowy pita bread (the cilantro jalapeno hummus was especially yummy. Not too spicy). The meats were soft and flavorful. I love their entrees cause you can try out several types of food in one meal. I got the steak shawarma plate and you can customize it to your liking. Mines came with the meat, rice, cilantro jalapeno hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce. Oh...THE GARLIC SAUCE. I can't explain how good it is. Get it as a side for anything you order and dip all things in it. Its amazingly good and might be my favorite thing on the menu. Its a good dip for pitas, meats, greek fries...everything! And it's only $0.50!
(5)Lola M.
We had the chicken shawarma, jalapeño and cilantro hummus with pita bread and the Greek garlic fries (with Feta cheese). The chicken shawarma comes with a variety of dipping sauces, I chose the garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is delicious. We love the food here and plan on returning. They offer a 10% discount for Yelp check-ins.
(5)Jose B.
The food is ok nothing special. We went for lunch and food took almost 40 minutes to receive.
(1)Veggie Foodie I.
Pita Kitchen has perfected fries! It's the best fries I've ever had in my life, bar none. They're crispy and packs a lot of flavor punch. I got the Greek fries, but unfortunately can't have feta cheese and defeats the purpose. But, the staff accommodated my allergy. Imagine, if you do get the Greek fries like how it's intended to be, I think you'll be in heaven. Make sure you get the dressing in and on the fries, yum! Haven't had anything else but what is mentioned above and falafel sandwich, which I had years ago and unfortunately think is not memorable. But give this place a chance.
(3)Ilona K.
Love love love this place. Excellent food every time. And the service is always great. I highly recommend the schwarma, either chicken or steak, and the Greek fries. I crave Pita Kitchen often and it never disappoints.
(5)Mohammad N.
On my road trip to San Diego, I knew I was going to get hungry and the excellent reviews drew me to Pita Kitchen. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma to go and was super excited to dive in, but there was one major thing missing. I had asked for the sauce to be on the side and instead there was no sauce whatsoever. I could tell the chicken was well-marinated, but without any sauce, it just was not the same. I was already too far from the restaurant to go back and ask for a side so it was a little bit of a let down to eat a somewhat dry pita. The chicken comes in a hefty portion which I can appreciate, but the lettuce/tomato portion was pretty minute compared to the overall portion of the chicken. I am sure the pita would have been delicious with the sauce, I just wish it hadn't been forgotten in my order.
(3)Diane T.
I must say im BEYOND amazed of the FLAVOR!!! We got The Chicken Chipotle Pita & Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus & Baklava (which we had to get another order beyond ridiculous filled with flavor) and had to save the last for THE BEST GREEK FRIES EVER!!!! If you haven't tried this place you MUST! Also the Staff is beyond nice and welcoming!! If I could give Pita Kitchen 10 stars I would!!!
(5)Steve R.
The best Pita spot in town by far. Ordered the steak shawarma and must admit it was gone in 60 seconds (maybe a lil longer than that) and I wanted another one to take home. Very fresh and soft pita bread, juicy tender steak melted in my mouth, and what a perfect blend of ingredients for a well rounded taste combination. Will definitely be coming back and bringing others here as much as possible. Last, but most important by far would be the bible scriptures on the wall proclaiming the Truth and making it known that their success comes from God. Great job Pita Kitchen!!! John3:16 // Mark8:36 // Luke9:23 // Matthew5:16 #gotJesus?
(5)Rochelle E.
I called ahead hoping to get my food right away. It was ready, but I still had to wait in line for 10 minutes. Then , after I paid they still didn't have my fries or drinks. Took so long to make the fries my gyros were cold. 25 minutes waiting around total. Wow.
(1)Rebecca C.
The tables were very dirty and the staff seemed way to overwhelmed. The food was okay. I ordered the hummus and asked for a mixed platter of it. They acted like they couldn't split it at first. I would not come here again; I would rather buy hummus at the grocery store.
(2)Angel G.
Came here on a Tuesday evening and the place was busy.(in a good way)..the staff was still able to bring out fresh delicious food in a flash. Mario, the head chef, made sure that my experience was never to be forgotten. This place is simply off of the charts and several days have passed and I still can't stop thinking about the tangy tzaziki sauce and how fresh our food was. If I could give 6 stars I would. Easily my favorite Greek style restaurant. Thank you Mario, owners and staff!
(5)Aldo R.
My wife and I moved out here to Phoenix,AZ from California about 6 weeks ago. We are used to eating burgers and fries and tacos and decided to try something new. We came across the pita kitchen and from the moment u walk in the staff were great and made us feel welcome. The food was delicious for trying something new. My wife got the chicken shawarma and I got the steak shawarma in pita. We will definitely come here again!!! Mercy!
(5)Sean M.
Delicious steak shwarma!! Great eats before the cardinals games. Make sure to get the garlic sauce. So good and cost friendly
(5)Dustin C.
Been back several times and love the food here. The only problem is getting a table, such a terrible plight for a small business:) keep up the great work
(5)Gina B.
I was not a fan at all. We had the beef plate and steak schwarma. I liked the hummus but our food was just okay. We waited a while for our food and they weren't even busy. We will definitely not be back. It wasn't horrible just had really high expectations based off the reviews and stars.
(2)Jacob S.
I've had a lot of Greek food in my day, but this is currently in the running for "best Greek" in my book. The service is friendly and attentive and the menu is quite appetizing to look at. Once you make your selection, you're given a table marker and told that your food will be brought right to you. I appreciate this, especially since getting my daughter in a high chair is now my top priority at this moment. When the food comes out, the portion size will surprise you (in a good way) and the taste will exceed any expectations you've had. I've been there twice this week and I'll be sure to become a regular at this delicious Greek joint.
(4)Sarah L.
You must try the jalapeño-cilantro hummus. It's so good! I've had it with and without meat and I like it best with chicken. Yum! I am a bariatric patient and requested cucumber in lieu of pita bread; only $1 to substitute. The customer service is A+.
(5)Greg N.
Great food. We ate there last month while visiting family. We will make this stop every time we come through town. We just wish we lived closer. Delicious food for a good value in a pleasant environment.
(5)Sonny S.
DELICIOUS! I have not had such good mediterranean/greek food on the west side since I moved to Arizona 10 years ago. The garlic sauce is simply TO DIE FOR! Greek fries are highly recommended, and the dressing that comes with them divine. Restaurant hummus doesn't usually impress me, but theirs is top notch! Creamy, smooth, with a hint of garlic. The meats were well marinaded and each had its own unique, distinctive flavor. How to improve on perfection? Our entrees each came with a single pita bread. I might suggest offering two pitas with each meal. One was not enough and two would be just about right. Baklava was excellent. My husband - who is half Lebanese - remarked that it tastes just like his dad used to make. And here's the kicker... Here you can get two large, homemade-quality meals for just about the same price as fast food. This is going to be my go-to place for picking up dinner on my way home from work. Bravo!
(5)Sean W.
Pita Kitchen is one of those hidden jewels in the west valley. The Chicken Kabob entree is one of my favorites. If you are looking for great food and service, dine at Pita Kitchen.
(5)Ruben L.
Shawarm now or shawarm later? I am a huge fan of this place. The chicken kabob is so good, especially coupled with hummus. The staff is always friendly and if you are either taking out or dining in the service is superb. There are many places to eat at in the Gateway Pavillions area. Do yourself a favor and go to one that is unique (non burger, non chicken fingers) and let the great tasting Mediterranean food wake up your taste buds. I am not sure if they still have this, but if you check in on Yelp, they offer 10% off your bill.
(5)Lu W.
This is amazing and great food! So so fresh and excellent flavors! We had the sampler platter - superb! I have never had such fresh delicious pita bread and the chicken schwarma pita was so full of meat and flavor! Cannot say enough and the service was also top notch!
(5)Samantha G.
I ate at PK earlier this week.. I was not only happy the staff was so pleasant and accommodating to my no carb diet and willing to substitute more greens for the rice, but the food was DELICIOUS!!! I feel like I am cheating on my diet, but I am not.... Going again tonight with my kiddos!!
(5)Chris R.
I had falafel plate with Greek salad. 1 falafel with no flavor, small salad too much onion. For $10 after 10% yelp coupon it wasn't worth it.
(2)Philip S.
One of my FAVORITE places to eat.. Staff always friendly, food is always amazing! I love the Gyros Pita with some garlic sauce on the side.
(5)
