My husband had been raving about this place and asked for us to go together so i was open to trying it. The two siblings working greeted us and were so welcoming. They offered us lentil soup with our meal which I'm not one to get excited over lentil soup but I would come in here for just that because of how delicious it is. We were told they make it every day and it is seriously so flavorful and yummy. Our plates were equally delicious and full as you can see by the attached photo. I will definitely be back. It was so refreshing to have a nice meal with such excellent service. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Today, it was a solo early dinner for 1 while I ordered food for the family. Let's talk about the Meat Combo Platter - seriously, it's a carnivore's dream. I was able to taste both the beef kabob and chicken. Each cooked to perfection with its own unique flavor. I've never been a huge fan of grilled chicken but this one is an exceptional! It was so moist and flavorful! Definitely will order again... Now let's talk about the Salmon Platter. This has always been my go-to meal here. Rain or shine, salmon platter is my favorite jam here. The salmon is always so tender and flaky, ad absolutely irresistible. Oh by the way, if you're craving everything on their appetizer menu, you must definitely try the Appetizer Combo. The 3 types of hummus has their own unique flavors. The tziziki is my absolute favorite. Oh it also came mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and fresh tomato with a delicious pesto. I came around 4pm, no wait on grabbing a table or service (which by the way was always with a smile). Food is definitely worth the wait. You can taste the love in each bite. If you haven't tried this place yet, add Panini to your foodie bucket list.

I placed my order through uber for pick-up and OMG THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINTMENT. Food was ready at the time it was ready and it was cooked to perfection. The rice has such a beautiful savory taste. The chicken was so juicy with great flavor. The fries were cooked the way I asked NO SALT but had their own flavor. The beef peta things are new for me but 10/10! The only thing I will say i didn't enjoy is condiments such as ketchup or hot sauce were not offered or placed in bag as I seen when I got back to work. They also didn't include utensils but I always keep extra in my locker. 100% recommend this place. Atmosphere is chill.

Review: A Triumphant Return to Pita Kabob…read more Rating: It had been about five years since my last visit to Pita Kabob, and I'm happy to report that it remains one of the best spots in town. From the moment we walked through the door, the service was seamless; we were greeted immediately and seated within just a few minutes. The Vibe & Menu The menu strikes a great balance--large enough to offer a deep variety of Mediterranean dishes and libations without being overwhelming. We noticed a fantastic selection of drinks and settled on a few ciders, which have been our go-to lately. They were the perfect crisp pairing for the meal ahead. The Main Event: Mediterranean Pitas We decided to stick with the classics and ordered the Mediterranean Pitas: * Lamb Pita: Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. * Filet Mignon Pita: Incredibly tender and high-quality protein. Each pita was packed with flavor and offered that satisfying "fresh and crisp" crunch in every bite. The portions were spot on--filling enough to satisfy but leaving just enough room for a side. Don't Skip the Fries We couldn't leave without sharing an order of their fries. If you haven't had them, they are an absolute essential for the table. Final Verdict Five years is a long time to be away, but Pita Kabob hasn't missed a beat. Between the efficient service, the flavorful entrees, and the great drink selection, it was an amazing experience. We won't be waiting another five years to come back!

The manager was great as well, she came out and explained the issue to us so we knew what was going on. She also brought our food out herself and made sure she took care of a dessert for the inconvenience. The food was also delicious. A really good steak which is hard to find these days.

This is not your ordinary Mediterranean restaurant - it's packed with flavor and heart. They had all the classic menu items but what made my night was that it's all seasoned perfectly. It brought me back to going to my childhood best friend's house and eating dinner that her mom cooked, with all the special spices and best cuts of meet and fresh veg. The restaurant design itself is also very homey and welcoming, with lovely murals, and plates/glasses that felt like eating at home, not a restaurant. It's such a small touch that I appreciated (but forgot to take a photo!). The atmosphere was so cozy, we even chatted with the guests at a nearby table. Overall, had a wonderful evening here.

I passed through for work so it was fine for a quick meal after a long day, but disappointing. My falafel wrap was small, the flavor was ok. I also ordered the mezze platter. They loaded it up with tzatziki but the portions of the other dips were not equal. It made me wonder if they were trying to get rid of the tzatziki? Also, they only gave me 3 pitas, which were dry, almost stale. I had so much leftover dip and nothing to eat it with. So I had to throw the extra away :( I probably won't come back next time I'm in town. It just didn't taste very fresh if I'm honest. And portions were way off.
