    Falafel Pita
    Delanie M.

    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.

    Get the garlic sauce for your falafel...yum!!!

    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!

    Gyro and sunshine
    Denisse V.

    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.

    Fresh bread made here
    Humza M.

    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

    My chicken shawarma bowl was fresh, beautiful, and delicious! The Gita fries were crisp and so good. The falafel was perfect. Such a great spot - I'll definitely be back!

    Gyro Fattah Baba Ganoush Bowl with an extra Falafel
    Jane N.

    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. ⁣

    Chicken Shawarma Bowl.
    Kekoa C.

    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!

I have noticed that over the past year, this stand has changed at least once, but it's always been a Mediterranean type of casual spot where they make your food in front of you. I wanted a salad recently and saw they had a kale salad on their menu at Damascus. The menu board said it was $5 for a "regular" and $8 for the larger size. I ordered the regular kale salad and asked to add gyro meat. When the order rang up, it came to $15 after tip! I was a little shocked but didn't say anything since I didn't know if maybe he misheard me or the prices weren't correct. Either way, it was a little shocking and I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought he'd make the salad right there, but someone in the back brought out a bag to me. It felt heavy! I opened up the container and had to laugh - it was a massive portion of gyro meat completely covering up the small salad! I did get my money's worth, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Either way, the salad itself was delicious. Honestly it was too much meat, even for me (a meat lover), and some of it was a bit dry. I know my coworkers enjoy the bowls at this spot (but they have also mentioned how the price can vary wildly for them) so I may try one of those next time I'm in the mood for something a little healthier.

I'm a huge snob, even when it comes to dive restaurants. I have resolved to only write positive reviews on places that I believe truly deserve the praise they have earned. This is one of those places. This joint is completely unassuming. Sparse decoration, low drop-tile ceiling, brightly lit (too bright for your usual Mediterranean joint), HDTV menus near the front register... But, does a restaurant need anything other than a great menu and delicious, freshly prepared, well-spiced fare to be an amazing experience? I answer loudly "NO!" This restaurant is wonderful. They serve some of the best Mediterranean food I've had, and I've been many places throughout the US and internationally. Finding this in my own back yard makes me so happy to live in GR. My wife and I split the spicy feta fries, which neither of us could stop shoving in our mouths. Now, a bit about me - I survived a massive heart attack five years ago. Five bypasses. Month in a coma. Six months learning to walk again. I SHOULD NOT BE EATING FRIES!! And yet... I couldn't help myself. Each bite was perfection in crispy potato form. And a heavy garlic presence. The toum is worth it. Completely worth it. Gives Sheshco a serious run for best in town. Not greasy or too "mayonnaise-y." She had the shish tawook ("chicken kabob") and I had a gyro pita. Her chicken was stunningly tender and temptingly well-seasoned. Rice was floral and delicious. Hummus, not quite garlicky enough, but smooth and refreshing. And the Nutella cheesecake was heavy and smooth and wonderful. My gyro was obviously done in-house, same as the pickled turnips ("liyft"). love pickled turnips, and I truly believe that these aren't the commercially available jarred ones. Gyro meat was well-spiced, perfectly tasty and amazingly tender. The service was warm and friendly. Wife and I will be back again...and again. We hope to see you there!! Worth a drive and some time. Bring an empty tummy and get ready to enjoy!!
