The food…read morewas delicious and satisfying, we ordered the hummus combo and used some of the hummus as a side dip/sauce for our lunch orders.

Don't waste your money. I don't write many yelp reviews, you need to really make an impression…read more(good or bad!). This was far from good. I ordered online for pickup (Arayes and Falafel) and the problems started. I received both a web notice and an email that my food would be immediately ready for pickup. Seemed weird, but I figured perhaps they have a good amount staged and could just bag it. Once I arrived at the store I was greeted by an empty host counter, and when someone finally showed up he looked annoyed and bored to be there. I told him about the order and he went to check. I saw him in the dining area a few times afterwards, but no stop up front to say "just a few minutes" or such. Eventually (truthfully, not long after - perhaps 7 minutes) he came out with a bag and said, "Here you go sir. Jonathan, right?" -- "Josh", I replied --- "Something like that." he said, maintaining bored eye contact with anywhere but my face. Despite the hiccups, I arrived home excited to try the food. I was immediately disappointed. Both dishes were supposed to come with sauce - Tahini with the falafel and Tzatziki with the Arayes. There was no sauce. I call the restaurant - it went to voicemail. I drove back - waited again at the empty host counter, and was eventually greeted by a young woman. She was much more welcoming and engaged than the prior person. I explained what happened and she said she would be right back. A few minutes later the original guy came back with a bag with "Sorry about that". I got home and immediately regretted not looking in the bag while still at the restaurant. I received two containers of Tahini and one of some mystery green sauce. Google tells me that Tzatziki can be green, but this neither tastes nor looks like any tzatziki I've ever had. (Not being a culinary expert I don't mind being corrected if I am wrong here) All sauces refrigerator cold. Maybe they are supposed to be? Checking the menu to see if I misremembered, I saw that they were also supposed to come with some sort of "arabic bread" which was missing. I did not call again and resigned myself to eating the already lukewarm food. The falafel was overcooked and very dry. Reminded me of hockey pucks. One bite was enough. Now we get to the redeeming part of the story... the Arayes are phenomenal. They need no sauce. 10/10. I am all for paying well for high-quality food and service, but I won't be giving any more money to this establishment until/unless they iron out their hospitality and quality processes. Truly a shame, because the interior looks nice and someone there really knows how to cook.

Crown Fried Chicken didn't fail me -- it successfully executed mediocrity at a professional level…read more Everything was crispy. Loudly crispy. OSHA-approved crunch. The texture showed up ready to work. The flavor, however, called out sick and never returned. Every bite sounded incredible and then immediately tasted like air that had been briefly introduced to salt. This place used to be legendary. Life-altering. The kind of chicken that ruined other chicken for you. Now it's fried chicken that crunches confidently while delivering absolutely no message. It's like listening to fireworks with noise-canceling headphones on. And the onion rings -- golden, crunchy, structurally flawless circles of nothing. Perfectly fried, expertly engineered, and seasoned with the restraint of a monastery. I kept waiting for flavor to kick in. It never did. It just stared back at me. Nothing was wrong. Nothing was exciting. I wasn't mad -- I was confused. How can something be this crispy and still say so little? This wasn't bad food. Bad food has opinions. This was food that refused to take a stance. Crown Fried Chicken didn't disappoint me. It crunched loudly, said nothing, and left me alone with my thoughts.

I'd give another star if the portions and quality were consistent. It all depends on who is working for the quality and size of your sandwich.

Well, after ordering it, I can calmly say that I'd rather pay the time and money to just go downtown and get one from somewhere else. The rice was dry.

Middle Eastern food was one of the things I missed most when I moved to State College from Michigan mid-2010. Now I've got THREE options. Papa Pita also offers numerous other sub-sandwiches, to go along with the falafel and shish kebab and other things. I ordered the Kefta Kebab Pita, and it was glorious. Kefta Kebab is ground lamb, mixed with spices, parsley and onion. The pita had lettuce, onion, tomato, and tahini (sesame) sauce. A bit messy, but quite good.
