Really enjoyed my visit! The pita and salad were both great--fresh and flavorful. I did end up getting extra sauce for the pita, which made it just right. Service was excellent when I dined in, too. Would definitely recommend Craft Pita. read more

Craft Pita - Chicken Shawarma Pita with Fattoush Salad ($3.00 up charge for salad side) - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Yum! We tried the wings (our favorite), falafel, and shawarma fries and all were delicious. The staff were all super nice and I loved their food suggestions. Its a small place but theres a huge parking lot. We went around 2 on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating. read more

I was really disappointed with this place and had high expectations from what I read for the reviews. This is definitely not authentic Lebanese I have lived in the Middle East for a very long time and know the taste very well. There are other places in Houston also serving middle eastern food and no place is as bad as what I tried here. We ordered the beef pita and platter of kafta kabob with Lebanese rice and fattoush salad. The food was fresh, however lacked seasoning they both were literally bland. And the kafta kabob was dry I've never had this dry of a kabob! This place is definitely localized and is not authentic Lebanese. On top of that, these two costed me $46 so no worth of the price at all! I am very disappointed and wouldn't wanna go here again. I really wanted to try the breakfast and hummus especially since this was the first place I saw serving beetroot hummus but unfortunately I won't be taking the chance. The parking spots are very limited. The service was good in terms of the time and the ambiance is casual and have limited seats read more

It was our first time here. A really nice place, and clean environment. We ordered the 1/2 chicken, roasted cauliflower and spicy hummus with pita bread. The food tastes great, especially the chicken was soft and juicy. The owner also brought us the special homemade hot sauce which goes very well with the chicken. Of course, if you can handle the heat. It does come with a kick The service was great too. The owner and waitress came to check on us several times just to ensure we are enjoying our lunch. Great spot for a health lunch alternative. Try it! read more

Craft Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Overall, great place! I have celiac (strict gluten-free), and I'm vegetarian, and have a great time dining here each time! I have enjoyed their falafel pita, fries, hummus bowl with falafel, gluten-free pita bread, and ice cream. All of the food has been very satisfying, and I think their bowls are my favorite options. Each ingredient feels pretty fresh, and tasty. Interestingly, the gluten-free pita bread looks fluffier and tastier than the regular pita bread when served as a side. The fries are always crunchy and cooked to perfection, and difficult to stop eating. They have been trying out new ice cream flavors, and we tried one of their mediterranean-inspired flavors, which was incredible! For my dietary restrictions, they are pretty good about avoiding cross contamination and generally knowledgeable about gluten-free. However, I don't think every person there is familiar with celiac, so I tend to ask/request specifics regarding the preparation process. I will say that their dine-in experience food feels better than the take-out experience. I have had catering from this location multiple times, but definitely prefer eating here in person. It's also a bit on the pricier side for the casual restaurant, but if they had a better rewards program or slightly cheaper food, for add-ons and gluten-free substitutions, I would definitely come here even more often! Overall, definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Came here with some friends to eat dinner! Ambience was nice. Service is good, you order at the counter and they'll bring the food to you. I got a chicken wrap and fries here. Chicken wrap was pretty good, and I absolutely love the seasoning they put on their fries. Definitely a solid choice if you want some fast casual food, plus it's halal! read more

Had the Chicken Caesar Toum Wrap for the first time as they just recently debuted this item on to their menu. Probably the best Caesar Wrap I've ever had. Especially when you add a touch of garlic to it!!! Hope it stays on the menu!!! read more

This was our first time here. We will definitely be returning. The food is so fresh and delicious. We started with a large Mezze sampler. The labneh was so creamy and good. The tabbouleh was my favorite. I usually don't care for tabbouleh, but this one was so crisp and refreshing. You can tell there is no holding back with flavors. Next we got a Kabob sampler. Beef and chicken. Once again it was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. My partner had a chicken shawarma pita. It was such light pita bread and packed with chicken and french fries. The pita came with a side of roasted cauliflower. I had a half rice/half salad platter. The platter included rice cooked with lentils, tabbouleh, crispy cabbage, pickled turnips, and salad tossed with tahini sauce. We had a glass of Lebanese wine and rose water lemonade and mint lemonade. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend eating there. We ate until we could burst but nothing was heavy and you leave feeling like you ate good and healthy food. Plus we have plenty of leftovers for lunch for a couple of days. read more

Not only does Craft Pita have the best pitas in town, but their fries are some of the tastiest I've ever had. I've ordered from here for delivery, dined in, and introduced so many others to one of my favorite Houston restaurants. The service is always so friendly and quick, and there's seating both indoors and outdoors. Tip: join their loyalty program for great rewards! read more

Craft Pita - Chicken Pita and Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I loved the vibe of this place! It felt very clean and fresh from the moment you walk in. The bathrooms are nice, but very dim lol ordering was fast and food took about 7 minutes to come out. BEEF PITA: My bf got this and enjoyed it. The flavor was good, the meat was moist, and he said he would come back again for it. CHICKEN PITA: I got this without the roasted potatoes. Idk if all of the sauce comes with the potatoes, but the chicken was dry and it felt like there was no sauce at all. Pretty rough to get through the whole thing because of this. I didn't realize I could buy extra sauce until I was done, but it shouldn't have been as dry as it was when it's probably the most popular item on the menu. I was pretty disappointed, but now that I know I can get extra sauce if this happens again, I'd be willing to give it another shot if this was a fluke. HALF ZATAAR & HALF CHEESE FLATBREAD: This felt like a soft crust, half herb, half cheese pizza. Not really for me, but my bf loved it. My personal experience fell flat, but my bf had a great experience. I'll chalk up my experience to an off day because I really want to like this place. Hopefully the next visit goes better. read more

"Its too good Very fresh Sweetness right on spot" Its Houston Restaurant Week and we chose Craft Pita as our destination. It was well worth it. Its a complete 5 course meal including drink. For vegetarians like me, a couple items felt like repetition, like the pita was with the starter but also the main course, you could have substituted ut fir pita chips but that does not make much difference. What reaaallyy hit the spot was how fresh the ingredients were. Not to forget that the food came quickly, and the staff, they were super nice. Priced at $39, it has a starter, a salad, a main course, drink and dessert. Thats a pretty decent meal, but I did wonder if it would have made any big difference if I had ordered the same as ala carte, or, would it actually be cheaper ? Not sure, didn't do the math.... Food is eaten, the remaining packed and brought home, and bill paid, it does not matter now, and most importantly I enjoyed it. At the end of the meal felt fresh and satisfied. ( thumbs up ) Btw, a side of hummus is free if you Yelp check in and that comes with- u guessed it- Pita and u choose between the bread or the chips. Not many people seemed to dine in am not sure why though, in fact, we were the OnLY two people. There was but a constant count of bags flowing out of the kitchen for to-gos and uber eats and all those other apps. No kidding, the kitchen was so busy getting these orders ready and they were picked up in quick turns by the delivery guys or customers themselves. It was like clockwork. The patio has cute seating arrangement and its dog friendly too out there. I most definitely will come here again for the food - fresh, simple, tasty, served by a ever helpful friendly staff, who am sure must be thinking we are new to the city since we dined IN the restaurant:) ;) rather than take- away like literally everyone else ! read more

Incredible service and delicious fresh healthy food. I love their bowls and wraps so much - such good quality and delicious flavor. I swear their hummus is better than any of the fine dining Mediterranean places I've been in Houston including Rumi's. We had a really bad experience with uber eats messing up our order as the driver somehow stealing our food and then Canceling our order and uber eats refused to help us. Craft pita had such better customer service and helped us so much and we appreciate their great customer service - we eat here a lot and highly recommend! read more

For $35 for a lunch bowl, I expected high quality. They did not complete my order - they did not include any pita bread. I ordered spicy hummus - they provided regular hummus. The baklava was expensive yet bit size. There are better options within a mile of this restaurant. read more

I visited Craft Pita off Fountain View and San Felipe today. What I got: 1. Babaganoush with pita bread 2. Shawarma Fries with extra garlic aioli 3. Rice Bowl no protein Each and everything I ordered was a 9/10. The Shawarma fries had pieces of crispy chicken skin, I was skeptical at first but once I tasted it, amazing! The cut-up chicken did not overwhelm the fries and the seasoning on the fries was scrumptious. Even though I will have the rice bowl for lunch, I did sneak a taste and let's just say I can't wait to have my lunch the next day. I chose the rice pilaf option with no protein. The babaganoush did not have garlic like I am used to but it was still good none the less. I used my pita bread to dip, my reason for the 9/10 is because I am used to fluffier pita bread, it was still delicious. I truly enjoy Mediterranean food; it just brings my palate a different taste of spices and seasons. If you order online, it is easier to customize your order. If you order online, you will get a notification, just walk straight to the back wall to pick up your food. You can also order in the store. Everything I ordered was about 34.00 bucks which was well worth it for the portions you get. If you in the area, give them a try! Happy Eating!! read more

Craft Pita - Rice Bowl, no protein Babaganoush Shawarma Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had the chicken pita sandwich. It is def filled with a fair amount of meat, potatoes, and veggies. However, it could use some flavor and a little spice. The sandwich itself was pretty bland but maybe that's just my taste. Still delicious!! read more

Okay keeping it 100.. I'm writing this like a month later... but this place f***in slaps! Got a gyro wrap, fries, and bicy hummus. Yeah, I said bicy. The lady at the counter was nice and the place was very clean. Now, to the meat and potatoes.. literally lol. Obviously this isn't a "high end" restaurant but the flavor in the meat and seasoning on the fries... EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS. Way beyond what I thought it would be with all factors taken into account. The hummus was freaking delicious as well and by the time I had nearly eaten everything (a few fries were spared - had to sacrifice them or my stomach rupturing), I was in an absolute haze. Heading back there today!! read more

The rice is so good for looking so plain. The meat (beef) was tender. The sauce is perfect for dipping and drizzling on evening. The pita was nothing to write home about, super dry and bland. Standout star were the French fries (and today is National French Fry Day). Very well seasoned! I'd say the prices are on the pricey end for a fast casual spot. You get a free hummus side with a Yelp check in that ofc I didn't see until I left, so I'll use it next time. This visit was a few days after Hurricane Beryl and the owner/manager was very nice and stopped by every table checking in on everyone and asking how they were and how their food tasted. read more

Needed a quick spot while in the area after a doctor's appointment. I remember a lot of local foodies create a big buzz around craft pita a while back so we decided to give it a shot. We did a quick grab and go. I got the falafel pita and my wife got the chicken pita - both came with pita chips on the side. FYI there's a check in offer for a free hummus, but we saw it right after we paid so the cashier couldn't honor it. The falafel pita to me was just ok, which was disappointing since I'm seeing a lot of great reviews. It just wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. The chicken pita was better but still nothing to write home about. I know craft pita is local and cava is not, but cava to me is more flavorful. Maybe it's an off day. Overall, I wasn't super excited about the food. Hopefully they were just having an off day. read more

Happy Hour everyday? Count me in! After going to a Yelp event at the new Craft Pita in West University, decided to bring my staff to the original craft pita for a holiday happy hour celebration after work. Ordered so many delicious dishes. The spicy hummus packs some heat. Order some pita chips for dipping. So addictively delicious. The seasonal beet hummus is so good and so pretty. For salads, the tabbouli salad is so fresh and healthy. The Fattoush salad is literally one of my favorites. Greens, radishes, carrots, mint and cucumbers with pomegranate vinaigrette and topped with toasted pita chips. So light and so yummy. Sides, sides and more sides. The roasted potatoes are amazing! Lemon, paprika and cilantro with a drizzle of decadent garlic aioli sauce. Dip the crispy fries in that delicious aioli, too. The roasted cauliflower is another must to share. Do you love pita, chicken and quesadillas? Definitely get the pitadilla. The roasted chicken is so good, especially if you add a bit of the garlic aioli sauce. Add a manaeesh (Lebanese flatbread) to round out the menu. Get a za'ater, Lebanese cheese or half and half. Love the za'ater spices. Dip in the hummus. Delish! Thanks to Rafi and his amazing staff at Craft Pita, the OG. Such a perfect place for a holiday happy hour with my work family. read more

I think craft pita delivers perfect bite when it comes to the pita sandwich/gyro/shawarma experience. Super clean restaurant and an easy menu make it easy to walk in first time and get something you'll really like eating. Hummus was tasty as well and presented nicely. They have the wraps, bowls, and salads of all the main dishes, along with the standard Mediterranean apps and sides. It looked like they sell whole rotisserie chickens as well. Plenty of parking on a weekday lunch and the staff was very friendly. Add this place to your fast-casual routine! read more

I went to Craft Pita a while ago and had such a good experience! Everything I tried was tasty, but my favorite dish was the spicy hummus! To elevate any of their dishes, I'd recommend adding the garlic aioli and/or the spicy garlic aioli. Add them to your fries, bowls, apps, anything - both sauces are so good! The food here is pretty light tasting, so I think it needs the aiolis is to boost the flavors a bit. It's fun to mix and match a bunch of their apps to make a meal, and I like how happy hour is everyday here (3-6 pm). The atmosphere is casual and airy. You order at the counter and then sit while you wait for your food. Also, Yelp users - don't forget to scroll up and use that check in offer for free hummus! :) read more

If you want to opt for something not too heavy on the stomach but packed with flavor, this is your place. The food here is very fresh & yummy. My go to dish is the hummus bowl. You can add a protein to with it: beef, chicken, lentils or falafel. I usually opt for no additions because the bowl is plenty to get you through the day or night. The bowl comes with a generous portion of hummus topped with roasted pine nuts along with pickled radishes, tabouli & red cabbage. Served with pita bread. If I'm feeling extra hungry I will add the falafel which is fried to perfection! The place is very modern & clean with family style seating & 2 to 4 tops. Staff is super friendly & the service is fast. Great place for great food & fast service if you are in a rush. read more

Craft Pita - Hummus plate. - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Craft Pita is a bright and open space that encourages socializing while dining. The Lebanese Tacos and Pitadilla were delicious and flavorful. The pita is not too thick, yet it is still dense enough to balance the soft chicken and melted mozzarella. The roasted cauliflower is small and will fill you up quickly. The Rose Water Pink Lemonade tasted like regular lemonade. The women's restroom is clean with a helpful vacant/occupied labeled lock. This is a dog friendly restaurant that has won many awards in Houston. I will be recommending Craft Pita and will return soon! read more

Okay so honestly, I thought this place would be a little more run down. But it is modern, and esthetic for what they offer for sure. I want to use the words fresh and fast. But it's fresh. Not fast. Because they need time to prepare your meal duh! The fries 10/10 Garlic aioli 10/10 Rice bowl + lentil + hummus also 10/10 Bro come on, everyone who wrote a bad review y'all need to go back and give it another try.

I wasn't expecting too much from this place when I rolled up, but I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for the beef gyro and french fries.

Not bad for 15 bucks. read more

I hate being that guy because from the 5 star reviews & pictures of the food; it looked promising. Unfortunately I didn't get the same experience as my food was just fair/good enough. The service was fine from our cashier but the guy who brought out the food provided excellent service. I decided to order their falafel bowl & falafel pita sandwich. I also used my check in offer on Yelp which I received a free side of hummus. Let's start with the falafel bowl, the rice was cooked to perfection. It was soft, fluffy & flavorful. The falafel ball(s) was a bit harder than I would've like it because I was expecting a lighter crunch; most likely it could've been overcooked. On the other hand the filling on the inside was good. I would pass on their turnips, it was bad. But I did like their red cabbage as it went well with the rice. The falafel pita sandwich was very good, the falafel balls was not overcooked & had a nice light crunch. I did take out the turnips though lol. The baked pita chips tasted amazing. I also received my complimentary side of hummus which I thought it was textbook made. The chickpeas added a nice texture to the hummus. Overall, 3 stars for the food. The place was nice & clean & the service was good as well. From the raving reviews I was expecting greatness. I will however give it another go & come back and try their baklava ice cream. read more

I'm giving 5-stars for the food! The service only gets 3/4-stars... We'll talk about THAT in a moment. We are vegetarian and love trying new places so when this popped up as we were looking for dinner in the Galleria area, we jumped at the chance to try it! First of all, this is hands down the best falafel I've ever had!!! I've never been a huge falafel fan because it's always seemed way too dry for me, but the falafel at Craft Pita was NOT too dry and the dipping sauce they included on the side was the perfect addition to enhance the taste. Now as for the Roasted Potatoes... HOLY. MOLY. (Am I allowed to add cuss words into reviews? ) My partner and I literally fought over these as we ordered one to share because they were SO GOOD! As a potato lover, I found the way that they prepared these combined with the sauce they poured on top to be an exquisite flavor like none I'd ever had the pleasure of enjoying before! These are crave-able potatoes that will have you coming back to just order these to go along with whatever random entree you cooked for dinner at home. We also highly enjoyed their Cheese Flatbread as it also had a delightful taste yet wasn't heavy like some cheese breads can be. But the service was lacking. It was very disheartening to have the person at the counter be so unfriendly and unkind to us, yet watch her be so happy and chatty to an older customer who came in after us. She was also unpleasant when bringing our food to us which wasn't a great feeling since we left a tip (and weren't required to as it is counter service). Maybe she was having a bad day, but that benefit-of-the-doubt was hard to give as she was being very friendly to other customers. Regardless of the service, we will 100% be returning as the food is too delectable to not return! read more

Excellent lunch choice in the Galleria area! And also budget-friendly since that happens to be rare in this part of town. I stopped in for lunch shortly after they opened at 11am and there was already a small crowd fizzling in -- I can imagine it's bustling during the true lunch hour. I ordered the beef pita sandwich with a side of pita chips and both were absolutely delicious! At around $12, the beef pita is stuffed full of meat, lettuce, cucumber, cabbage, and dressing -- all of which are harmonious together! Now for the side, I've never eaten fresh pita chips before but these are such a great concept! Healthy and light, these go perfectly with the pita sandwiches, or any of their other main dishes for that matter. It's counter service and the staff working the counter were all super friendly. Wait was minimal and the food came out quick. I'll definitely be coming back to try more! read more

I ordered to-go. I went around 4:15pm so it was empty and I was able to quickly place my order. It was ready in about 5 minutes. It was very clean on the inside and seemed pretty chill with many options of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Falafel Pita which came with a side of pita chips. I wish I checked my offer before I left. The pita chips were all burnt, there were maybe only 3 small pieces that were edible. I'm usually a huge fan of falafel with tahini sauce, but this pita wasn't the least bit flavorful. It was edible though so I can't complain too much. I'll stick to my usual locations but not mad that I gave it a try. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and we ended up coming here after a sweat class, for brunch. It's a relatively small restaurant, but it was still nicely decorated and had ample space outside as well for seating. The staff was friendly and were helpful in helping me take my order too, so it was overall a great first impression upon walking in. The food though... was delicious. My girlfriend had mentioned that she had been craving their wrap, and for good reason. It was absolutely delicious. The spicy garlic sauce just made all the unique flavors come together in a melodic blend of deliciousness. I absolutely enjoyed every bite! It was also incredibly filling too. I didn't feel an ounce of guilt finishing up my chicken wrap. I also enjoyed the cheese bread and hummus as appetizers, and the cheese bread mostly looked like cheese pizza, but it was good. Definitely recommend this place, especially after a good workout too! read more

I tried Craft Pita for the very first time and was a little let down. The staff was really friendly! I ordered the falafel bowl and when I checked into Yelp got a hummus with pita.

I ordered the rose pink lemonade which tasted like lemonade with rose syrup- not too special but was different something i haven't tried before. read more

I thought the food here was very average. This is a fast-food style mediterranean restaurant. You place your order at the front counter. I tried the falafel pita and hummus. The portion size was large. However, it was a bit on the dry side and I didn't love the flavor profile. If you check in on yelp you get a free hummus! The hummus was delicious but I was not a fan of the pita it came with. The pita was on the thin side and chewy. I think there are better options to fulfill my falafel cravings. read more

After seeing this spot on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2021, I knew I had to earmark for a future visit to Houston. Alas, the time finally came after driving from Indiana to visit in-laws and Craft Pita was as delicious as I had hoped for. We ordered a carryout meal and enjoyed it at the arboretum on a picnic bench. Upon entering Craft Pita, you'll notice the modern decor and a large chalkboard on the back wall displaying all of the local ingredients and farmers they support including local bread (from another great spot I'd recommend called We're Dough). I would describe Craft Pita as fast casual with a refreshing and flavor-packed menu. We ordered rice bowls filled generously with pickled turnips, falafel, hummus, etc. and served with sides of fresh pita dough. If I'm remembering correctly, you can check in on Yelp to claim a free side of hummus (which was an exceptional hummus). We also ordered the rose water lemonade which was a little too sweet for my liking but perfect after some water was added in. Overall, a delicious spot and well worth the adventure! read more

Just finished dinner at craft Pita. I ordered half a rotisserie chicken, a side of baba Ghanouj, a side of cauliflower, and a side of cauliflower. My food was served with a garlic sauce and pita bread as well. I enjoyed the cauliflower the best out of everything, the chicken was too oily for my opinion, and the I could barely taste the flavor of the eggplants on the Baba Ghanouj side dish, I did enjoy though the pieces of pomegranate that it was served with. The Lebanese rice was not up to par, and I have had better ones in the past. I am giving 4 stars for the experience as well as the lighting on the place that gives a calming and relaxing vibe and it was all that I needed today. The customer service was great. read more

Feb 10, 2021 6:45pm Shoutout to the guy at the register. Guy with the curly fro pulled back. I came in super hungry. When I say hungry, I mean, I could not function to listen to him say what was on the menu. Real nice dude. Explained everything but all I could think about was food. My mom left me at the doctors office for 3 hours with NO SNACKS. *insert eye roll emoji" my stomach was eating itself This dude was a real one. I trusted his suggestion. But let's be real, all I could think about was food. I made my mom stay in the car while I opened the plate. I couldn't wait any longer. The food was so good. But maybe I was too hungry but let's just go with, that the food was delish. I feel like I need to give this place a fair chance when I'm not feeling like I'm dying. As a result of my mom not leaving me any snacks. But as a first timer, service was top notch. Shoutout to the guy at the register. He's a real one. And food came out fast, and was good. I didn't feel like I was eating something unhealthy. I'm definitely coming back. read more
