Gita Pita - Chicken Shawarma pita, and steak Shawarma pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Let me start by saying I've come to this place multiple times and always raved about the food... until now. Tonight's $50+ order was disappointing, for multiple reasons. Let me count the ways: 1) cold food. Greek fries (x2) that were as warm as bag of potato chips. 2) no feta cheese for any of the food, despite paying the $1.00 up-charge for the dishes. Last I knew, feta is a soft, crumbly cheese--not shredded white cheese that tastes a lot like mozzarell. 3) no pita for the bowl. Pick up the order. Get home. Check bag. No pita. Which I suppose is fine, as it likely would have been cold. Really like to think this is an exception, but I'm not sure I am willing to go back to find out. read more

So good! The food was so savory and delicious and the customer service was amazing. The setting was very nice considering it was the holidays. I will definitely come back! read more

Gita Pita - SO GOOD! - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This lunch experience was particularly disappointing, since the place was recommended to me by people that I trust. The service was painfully slow and the food was terrible. I got the special pita, which is a combo of lamb and beef. The problem is that it was cold. Not room temperature, but refrigerator cold. The vegetables were the center core of cabbage that was so hard to bite through, that it was painful to bite. I will never go back read more

I ordered a chicken shawarma bowl while we were at a hotel and used door dash for delivery. Delivery and time to get order was great, but the meal itself was disgusting. That has to the the worst chicken shawarma I have ever had. It looked like soup with pickles floating and the chicken had zero flavor. Maybe I'm spoiled living close to Dearborn but this "shawarma" has to be a joke. I'm mad I spent money on that. read more

Absolutely amazing gyro bowl and garlic sauce!!! The fresh pita was wonderful as well. Ordered via uber eats and food was still fresh.

three words... homemade saj bread i love char (owned by the same owner and connected to gita pita) so i had a feeling I would love gita pita. my feeling was correct. i ordered online for pick up and got a falafel pita and then chicken shawarma pitas for my aunt and boyfriend. these boys were saucy! and i love wet food so when i saw the tinfoil wrap covered in sauce I knew this would be a good meal. the homemade saj bread is amazing... chewy, soft, delicious...all the good things. the falafel weren't dry and had good flavor. i would definitely get gita pita again. one thing that keeps me from ordering as often (char too) is the price. this food is a little pricey at $13 a pita (good chicken shawarma at a middle eastern restaurant you're only paying around $7 so this is almost double the price and tbh I was still hungry). still great food though just not something you would want to drop $13 on all the time to eat. read more

Best falafel ever. So good. Garlic sauce also delicious. Service is always friendly not particularly fast. read more

The food is really fresh and delicious. Love the baba ghanoush and the gyros are fantastic. Right near my work.

Just a note: This review is only for the falafel and the service; we didn't get anything else. SO: We were downtown and wanted a quick snack...NOT a full meal. We wandered around and found this place. Did you know you can order falafel, HOWEVER many you want? We got a half dozen, and wished we'd gotten a half dozen more, but we were running late. They were freshly scooped and made, and cooked right in front of us. Served steaming hot, with a topping (we got garlic sauce), this was the best falafel I've ever had. DELISH!! The lady helping us was funny, kind, and so thoughtful. I wish more people would be as helpful as she was. if you love falafel, this is your place! read more

Gita Pita - Get the garlic sauce for your falafel...yum!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Wow! Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and hefty portions. What's not to love ! My daughter and I had the classic gyro and it did not disappoint! I especially loved the variety available for the toppings! I added purple cabbage and pickles. These pickles though...wow...they were tangy and sliced thin. They added a nice crunch to my gyro. The lamb/beef mixture was very flavorful and juicy. I was able to get a fresh batch they just pulled off the grill! The service was friendly but I would have appreciated a little more help deciding what to order. I hadn't been there before and would have liked to hear about their specialties like the Greek fries. I sort of had to pull the info out of them. Either way, I will be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

This place has pretty awesome Greek food. The meats are superbly flavored and they have a nice quick service style like chipotle. One of the most awesome things about this place is that they make the bread fresh! I had the gyro which was expertly flavored and the green yogurt sauce included balanced out the well spiced meat and complimented the warm fresh flat bread. Their fries are more chips but they are fresh thick chips/pseudo fries and are some of the best that I've ever had. Some other positives about this place beyond the food is that there aren't a ton of places in GR that offer halal options and they are one of them! They also have vegetarian options and a large seating area. Service was amazing as well. The only negatives here is that the seating area is not very nice and feels like a food court. In addition, the food is rather expensive for a food quick service location - a wrap, drink, and fries cost ~$23! I would give a 5 star if it were more in the $15 price range. Definitely will stop by again, but will likely forgo the drink read more

We've been going to Gita Pita since they were in Cascade years ago. They have my FAVORITE Baba Ganoush - I LOVE the smoky flavor. I also love how flavorful and crisp the falafels are. My solution pictured here: Gyro Fattah Baba Ganoush Bowl with an extra Falafel They are super friendly and walk you through each step and all the toppings, super easy and DELICIOUS! Pro Tip: They also own Char next door and share an eating area - so pick up some fusion tacos next door for a super delicious meal! Pro Tip: Get Thai rolled ice cream across the street!

Gita Pita ⁣ ⁣ Gita Pita is located on the corner of Jefferson Ave and Fulton St in the Heritage Hill neighborhood. Their Mediterranean menu is fresh, light, and oh-so-good. The service is fast, and if you get a Pita, it's freshly grilled and then wrapped in foil; so it's easy to take with you if you're an on-the-goer like me. ⁣ ⁣ Boy do I love all the comfort food and brewery plates that GR serves up, but sometimes you just crave something fresh (ya feel me?) - next time you get that craving, head to Gita Pita. ⁣ ⁣ My go-to order is a Gyro Pita with harath (sliced tomato and cucumber), feta and garlic sauce. It's perfect for a filling lunch on a busy day where you don't have time for the occasional 2pm slump. ⁣ read more

Gita Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

From the freshly toasted pita to the made-to-order falafel, Gita Pita is just so delicious, and it is my go-to for a quick bite of Mediterranean / Middle Eastern flavors. I usually get the Chicken Shawarma bowl with a side of three falafel. The falafel is definitely my favorite in town! The bowls come with rice, but I opt for a lettuce base. Then you get to choose from a number of toppings (red cabbage, feta, crushed pita chips, etc.) and sauces (tahini, tzatziki, garlic, etc.). If I'm feeling indulgent, I add on the Gita Fries, which are basically potato chips. Gita Pita is also connected to Char. So, you can have the best of both worlds - pita and tacos! I like to get the chicken broth from Char to go with my bowl. Now, Gita Pita is a fast-casual, no-frills environment, excellent for a quick meal, but not really a place to linger. Be sure to sign up for the rewards program as well. You get 1 point for each $1 spent. 100 points = $10 credit. After you have Gita Pita, you'll be back and with friends! read more

Drove all the way to GR from Florida and I was so excited to have Gita Pita again. Their pita is so unique, and I love it. The storefront is clean, and staff are so friendly and quick. I love the topping choices, and I find that their garlic sauce really makes the pita! The only thing I would mention is that the Greek fries were so soggy. They didn't cook individually but bunched together into one giant soggy ball. We enjoyed a couple of yummy bites before tossing the order. read more

Gita Pita - Delicious pita bowl! - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Amazing falafel! The chicken bowls are delicious too. They have alcohol and indoor seating.

Food is great. Hadn't been back in several years, but it was just as good as I remember. Falafel wrap is delicious and their homemade pita like bread is so good. read more

The Greek fries are just soggy chips with feta cheese and the pita lacks flavor. It's overpriced for the quality of food. Only good thing is you get to customize your order. read more

You want comfort food? Then, this is the place for you! My favorite is their Steak Shawarma!

I love the food, but ordering on their website does not work. Ordering online is convenient, but the big delivery companies (like Grubhub and Doordash) bully the vendors into doing things their way. They won't let you phone the order into the restaurant for delivery - even if you have an order that the online services can't take. Sadly, Yelp is now invested in deliver services, so they aren't going to help fix it. read more

Upon entering Gita Pita you'll see a counter similar to a Subway chain - the menu is separated out by the different entree types (pitas, bowls, etc). I ordered the falafel bowl but normally go with something that has a hummus base - this time I had a yellow rice base; it was okay but go for the hummus! Also, be sure you get a pita on the side - they make them right there and they're delicious! Get there before the lunch rush and you're golden. read more

Gita Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Been a customer for many years. Normally love this place and take out of town friends to enjoy. Our last 3 orders have been very disappointing. 1 order was a pickup. The wrap was not heated which was a normal thing done before adding the stuffing. My husband asked about it and was told that's not how it was done. Brought it home and everything on the inside was cold. No heat. Felt like it came right out of the fridge. Last 2 orders were delivered both with no heat. Felt exactly like the other. It's hard to blame the coldness on travel because we have done it for years with no problem. Not sure why it's become a problem now. Maybe because the staff is working 2 restaurants at once? They also own the place next door and I have seen employees with that restaurants uniforms making our food. Or to save money/time? I am just going to assume it's the new normal and most likely not going to order from there again. If you wish to order I recommend the chicken, steak or falafel. All the sides, toppings, sauces and spreads were good. Unfortunately the gyro meat was not edible. Never had the baklava. read more

Big potions, cheap prices, fast food. Gotta love college towns. Gita pita was the perfect pit stop on the way to the lake. Quick and easy without being weighed down by greasy fast food chains. The pita breads are charred on a massive cast iron or stone dome. Delicious. read more

Quick and friendly service from the one guy working at night. Good deal for a downtown place. And tasty food. Falafel Pita was nice!

Ordered from this this restaurant on Uber Eats because I am at a hotel No utensils, no napkins, no pita, no dressing on the salad Big waste of money! read more

I always walk by this place on my way to school. I finally decided one night to not cook for myself (which I consider dangerous to do out here in Grand Rapids because of the too frequent disappointments). I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I asked for the guy's favorite meal (him being a relative of the owner and this being his people's food). He perked up and told me to get the chicken shawarma pita and the steak shawarma pita. I told him I'd get those two then. He asked if I had any dietary restrictions, and then excitedly crafted my meal. Sweet guy. Will come back! read more

I ordered the gyro. The meat was cut in blocks instead of thinly sliced. I got a very sparse serving. They got on the till kept talking to someone on his hands free totally ignoring the customer in front of him. Tasty enough but there are better. The baklavas were very dry. Avoid those. read more

I'm literally eating their food right now! It's so good that I had to write a review. First off, the staff were very friendly and worked quick which is nice because I was on my lunch break! I love how they wrap the food (to go orders) in foil that way it stays hot / warm. I ordered chicken pita, 2 falafels and Greek fries and my total was about $14! Really nice price for a lot of food! I will be back! read more

Gita Pita - Greek Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Ordered delivery last night only to receive a message 1 minute after the approximated delivery time....."Your order has been cancelled" I had already received an order confirmation and waited 30+ minutes while my food was "being made". It was getting late when I ordered from Gita Pita. Now that I sat around waiting for food that would never come, my options for delivery were even slimmer. Thanks to Palace of India, I got to eat last night. Will probably be a while before I try Gita Pita again, this was really crappy. Don't confirm orders if you have no intention of making them. read more

Making this short and sweet. We ordered take out after a long drive from up north. Once we got home, we found that they had gotten half our order wrong, and most of the food was either squished or submerged in juice making it inedible. I'm sure the food is good when you dine-in, and the workers had a long day of hard work; however, it is incredibly disappointing and frustrating to pay for food that is below satisfactory. read more

We went right when they open and were helped right away. The ambiance is like a deli, with plenty of seating. I was excited to get the falafel wrap, but was not overly impressed - however their garlic sauce was very good! read more

Gita Pita is so good! Freshest food made right in front of you. Warm thin pita bread, yummy falafel, creamy tatziki! Get the greek fries in the side you won't regret it! read more

Finding myself downtown for a training, I popped into Gita Pita for a quick dinner. I was greeted enthusiastically and there was no line at 5:30pm. I ordered the gyro fattah bowl (which really is large enough to be split between 2) I love that Gita pita lets you customize and that their food isn't overly garlicky or onion laden. I do wish their "spicy" sauce actually was or that they had some hot peppers. I am a HUGE fan of their pita bread. It's thin, and chewy, almost bordering on gummy. I think people either love this or hate it, (my husband is not a fan and likes more traditional pita, but yay I'll eat his) It is a little on the expensive side but they give really good portion sizes and all the ingredients were super fresh. read more

This was one of the best gyros that I have had! I was able to try out all the different meat before I decided what type of pita that I wanted. There is a variety of bowls, pita, hummus and plates available. The pita comes wrapped in tin foil and was easy to eat and walk with! They even had delicious baklava for dessert! read more

Absolutely NOT worth the money!!! What a joke. The food is mediocre at best and super small portions. This is $38 "worth" of food. Good luck finding a shred of meat on the $14 gyro, no fries, NOTHING comes with it. I would ZERO if possible. read more
