Not your typical round shape but more of a tube/long shape which really works great for dipping them in tzatziki. We also had grape leaves which come warm. Yummy! We had a chicken shawarma and gyro entree. Both came with rice, salad, pita, and hummus. All very good. My one criticism is I prefer my protein sliced more thinly instead of a thick cut. It's a texture issue for me. The thicker, the chewier. The chicken also had a bit of chewy skin. It could have had more flavor. Still good but this is what made my review 4 instead of 5 stars. I thought the gyro had a little more flavor than the chicken. You order at the counter and then they walk your food out to you when it's gone. Our two appetizers came out very quickly. Our entrees just a few minutes later. Service was smooth and very good. The guys working there were all friendly. Great service! The restaurant is very clean, plenty of seating, and lots of appropriate artwork. It was cold in there but it was really hot outside that day so they had the air turned up. It did make my dining in experience a bit tough since I couldn't escape sitting under an air vent but I don't really want yo criticize them much for running the air in a hot day. That's better than the alternative. On the way out I got a small variety pack of baklava and a rice pudding. Both really good! I'm still eating the baklava. I really like being able to get the variety! It's hard to choose. We would definitely go back again. On the way out, we saw 2 gentleman with gyro salads. Wow, it's a huge bowl with gyro piled high! Looked fantastic and I want to try the gyro salad now!

These were the best carne asada tacos I have had. We preferred the green sauce, but the red was good, too. I'd be here once a week if I lived in the area. It was very busy at 1:30 on a Saturday. I'd recommend calling ahead for a to go order.

They took our food order at the same time, and when our food came 30 minutes later they brought our drinks too. I got up to ask for our drinks and it just so happened that our food was coming out. We we pretty much ignored during our entire experience. The food was good. My son ordered the Syrian plate, which had three kabobs, rice and pita. The kabobs were not very big. He filled up on rice, but that was not what he was really wanting. I had the gyro plate with salad. It was good and the portion was enough for me and I shared the rest with my hungry 16 year old. We bought some baklava for the road. It was pretty sweet and the portion was underwhelming for $4/piece. The restaurant is comfortable, nothing fancy. It's worth a try, I would stick to the sandwich menu for the best value and don't hold your breath for service. The stars for this review are for lack of service and value. The food was good.

I had hummus, eggplant dip, tazziki sauce and a garlic sauce. The pita came out very hot with garlic/oil on it and it was worth every gluten particle! My husband had the lahm bi ajeen which was a tortilla/ meat / gyro and a salad. We both loved the dressing. I have never liked eggs plant dip much less love it. I did think the vegetables were a little over cooked but I just didn't eat them. The rice had a vermicelli noodle and some of the oil from the hummus. It was amazing! Great flavor. Then, we had to order baklava. The moistest baklava I have ever had. This makes me a happy girl!

I'll be honest--I had never even heard of Columbia, Missouri until a few weeks ago. So to say I had…read moreexpectations would be a flat-out lie. I couldn't have told you a single thing about this part of the country. But after one lunch at Beet Box, I'll be talking about Columbia for a long time. The Lamb & Eggs is an absolute masterpiece. On paper, it doesn't even sound like it should work. Then it shows up looking like a beautiful mess--a mishmash of flavors, textures, herbs, vegetables, creamy elements, perfectly fried eggs, and incredibly seasoned lamb. It feels like chaos... until you take the first bite. Then it all makes perfect sense. Every ingredient has a purpose, and somehow it all comes together in one of the most memorable dishes I've had in a very long time. As incredible as that bowl was, the Za'atar Fries with Harissa Mayo somehow stole the show. Crispy. Battered. Perfectly seasoned. Every single fry had that satisfying crunch on the outside while staying fluffy inside, and the harissa mayo was the perfect finishing touch. These aren't fries you order because you're looking to round out the meal. They're fries you'll be thinking about long after you leave. I came into Columbia knowing absolutely nothing about it. I left wondering how a place this good isn't on every food lover's radar. Beet Box isn't just a great lunch spot--it's a Godsend. Six stars...out of five!

The food is as delicious as it was in the previous incarnation! Flavors are authentic. Things that should be crispy, like felafel and fries, are crispy on the outside, soft inside. Not burnt. Not greasy. There are options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Portions are generous, especially the seasoned fries which you simply must try. Food is cooked on order and very fresh so be prepared to wait a few minutes for your food. While you wait visit the A&Y Global Market and pick up some ma'moul or Turkish delight to complete your meal. When weather is nice there is limited shaded outdoor seating or take away. When it is cold, call ahead to make sure they are open.

I just moved to this area from Elko, Nevada in October, so to be fair I'm unfamiliar with a lot of things...therefore I took to Yelp to see what was around! As soon as I saw, there was a Pita Pit, there were no more questions in my mind what I was going to have for lunch. I have not had Pita Pit in 14 years, and was helping and praying it would still be what I remembered it to be. As soon as I saw that they had falafel in a brown rice bowl I knew what I was getting. My only complaint is I was originally pretty sad that the falafel was all broken up and not in big round balls... but I digress. That bowl was fresh, filling and amazing! And I'm so glad they had tzatziki!! Next time I find myself and Jeff city for training. I know what I'm having for lunch!!

I had doubts when I saw that it was connected to a gas station but I was pleasantly surprised and happy that I didn't waste any money. 10/10 - this is a place that I would drive two hours just to eat.
