Superb -- both the food and the customer service. I accidentally placed an order for pickup when I meant to order delivery (with little ones, getting out isn't always easy). I called a bit late to cancel, fully expecting I'd need to reorder and possibly lose the original order. Instead, they went above and beyond and told me they would personally deliver it. They had me as a lifelong customer before I even took my first bite. And then the food... incredible. I built my own salad, my husband created his own bowl, and we both chose falafel. I'm vegan and try to eat very clean, and the options were plentiful and thoughtfully prepared. My husband isn't vegan, but even with a veggie bowl this time, there are plenty of meat options he's excited to try in the future. Exceptional service, delicious food, and a business that truly cares about its customers. Thank you, Pita & Basil! read more

Pita & Basil - Create your own salad with falafel. - Mediterranean Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Came here because I always pass by this place and it's near my apartment! Checked out their website and they don't use seed oils which is a plus. I got the Chicken Bowl. Chicken Bowl - I love the customization, and it is so fairly priced. The roasted carrots were so delicious (probably the highlight of the bowl), and I loved the Tzatziki. The hummus was just okay and the salad was standard. The chicken itself was pretty tender and they gave a big portion of it. Overall, I would definitely come again for a delicious lunch that is macro friendly! I highly recommend the carrots! read more

Pita & Basil - Chicken Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I love this place. It's like a Mediterranean Subway. Pick your protein, vegetables, sauces. Way better than most pita places in the area. Staff is friendly and attentive. Only negative I can come up with is they're closed on the weekends. I really want these guys to succeed. So I'll just say highly recommended. read more

It was sooooo good, I forgot to take a picture until we were almost done! We are big fans of Mediterranean bowls and this unassuming place hit the spot! No seed oils, tastes so fresh, and healthy! My only critique is the ambiance. It's not quite the place you want to dine in, but rather take out. Maybe if they made the interior a little more warm and cheery, it would be a place to sit and eat. Nonetheless, go for the food! Wish they were open later too. Been twice in a week already and ready for the next visit! read more

Just ate here for lunch. The food is really tasty, fresh and healthy. The staff is very friendly and the service was quick. I can't think of a better experience at lunch. I had the half chicken half gyro bowl and my friend had the chicken wrap, with a huge smile on her face from the food! read more

Running errands and was drawn by the new signage indicating there are no seed oils which are in just about every package of hummus in stores, so it was nice to try the lunch here. I ordered the bowl and you choose your protein and vegetables. This was perfectly portioned and a good value. The owner was very nice. This is a nice new addition to this strip mall. Check it out for takeout. There are a few tables. I would absolutely return. read more

Just had some for lunch as left overs. I heated it up in the over. Amazing food. Very delicious and tasty!

I was in the mood for something healthy yet delicious and filling. I saw this new spot on Yelp so I decided to give it a shot. First impression was great! I loved how clean and bright it was inside. I was greeted by staff right away (a greeting goes a long way, tbh), made me feel welcomed and invited. I believe the person who helped me was Leanna and she guided me through the menu and ordering. The menu is not complex, quite straightforward. You can order a bowl, salad, or wrap. You choose your protein, toppings, and sauces. I ordered a bowl with half chicken and beef with rice and carrots. I loved how I could order all the toppings I wanted bc they all looked delicious. You get to choose 3 sauces at the end and I loved the green spicy sauce plus the garlic sauce. I thought for the quality and portion, the price point was adequate. I enjoyed the friendly environment and quick ordering process. I recommend it if youre in the mood for some quick delicious food. read more

This spot is a FANTASTIC addition to the South Bay! The food was so fresh and colorful and flavorful and the sauces were fantastic! We got the air fried falafel and their special rice with a bunch of the vegan toppings and we absolutely loved every single bite. My daughter got the kids bowl and then we went back to get another one. She loved it so much and she's a really picky eater. We've got to meet the owner and he was lovely. I'm really excited to support a family owned restaurant as lovely as this one. read more

Came in on Friday at 2, the young man who took my order was so courteous and took great care of my wrap. It was my first time so I probably looked like a deer stuck in headlights with all of the options. He made my wrap quickly and it was perfect! I didn't catch his name, he has a mustache. I don't get to tip because I paid with my card, so I suggest bringing cash JIC you're feeling generous. Hats off to the young mustachioed man! Price point is good for the portions that you get, I'd definitely come back! My wrap will feed me twice today for less than $20! There is a small seating area, but I took mine to go. read more

So delicious! We tried this because they don't use seed oils (hubby has to avoid because of an allergy) and the whole family loved it. We got a couple different wraps and bowls, everything was super fresh and flavorful. read more

Won't be going back. $40 for two bowls with tiny portions. The pita was a small square, sauces were a teaspoon portion and the meat was dry. Who knows how long the meat was just sitting in that Dutch oven pot... much rather go to the other Mediterranean spots on Artesia read more

So yummy! The employees were nice and helpful. We got the chicken and gyro: salad and bowl. Both dressings were tasty. So were the hummus, garlic sauce, jalapeño and also chimichurri sauce. Filled me up. We will be back. read more

Randomly tried this place on my way back to work. Food was excellent and the price was fair. The chicken/lamb and beef are all tender and the portions are enough to feel you up. They have some kind of jalapeño sauce that I highly recommend trying, it's very flavorful with just a touch of spice. read more

We were so excited about this place since we saw them put the sign up. The food is amazing and tastes home made. The variety of ingredients, the quality and portions are all perfect. This is now one of my favorite places to eat nearby. I highly recommend. read more

So excited to have this delicious new restaurant in a convenient location. My friend and I both really enjoyed our lunches today. I had the falafel bowl with lots of toppings and sauces - I wanted to try everything. They have a ton of topping choices and everything was super fresh. The falafel was straight out of the air fryer oven, and the pita was freshly heated in a press. Good portion size, too. The employees were friendly and the owner (I assumed) was really nice and very appreciative of our business. Will definitely return! read more

Best new spot in the area...definitely needed. This was my second time. 1st time I split a wrap. 2nd time i ordered a bowl to myself. This place is amazing. My wife was annoyed I kept making "mmmm" sounds but I seriously could not hold it in. I hope they start a loyalty program because this is going to be my new spot. Chimichurri & Garlic sauce are a match made in heaven. read more

Fresh tasty food and friendly customer service. I usually get the bowls with chicken and falafel.

Walked in for the first time to grab something quick. Food was sooooo good! And the atmosphere and service was refreshing. Great spot, will be ordering again! read more

Just went in for the first time and absolutely loved it. Great, clean food and bonus points for no seed oils! The owners/family were all super welcoming and we are definitely going back again. Highly recommend! read more

I busy this GEM at least twice a week. The food is great and the Staff/Owners are very nice. I have had the wraps and salad, both are excellent. read more

This place was not good. Chicken tasted awful and not like real chicken. Never going again

1st time there tonight and asked if he had saffron basmati rice? He showed me some white-ish rice. When I said never mind he asked me what was my problem? I said nothing I'll have lettuce and chicken. The other worker placed chicken and lettuce in my bowl. I mentioned to my wife I'm not sure why he just insulted me? The guy grabbed the bowl and said "No bowl for you!" and took it from the employee and refused to serve my wife and I. Sound reminiscent of a Seinfeld episode? I can't put the episode name down because Yelp finds it inappropriate and will remove my post, so much for 1st amendment. The manager, owner whatever his status, was so rude and completely unpleasant. We left and ended up going to another local favorite restaurant that knows how to treat customers. I bet he made a mistake making the rice and didn't want to fess up about it. read more

Just had this for dinner tonight - SO GOOD. All clean ingredients that taste delicious. The falafel is air fried and the wraps are stuffed so you will not be hungry after coming here! read more

So excited to have this restaurant open up in our area. The food is fresh and healthy. The service is friendly. Easy to park. High and low top tables, clean and airy space. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

The food here is yummy but the pita is what sets it apart! So delish. Chicken pita go to with all the sauces on the side. Highly recommend. The owner or manager is there often and very friendly. Only thing is it is small with limited seating - so usually just get it to go. Used to be a Subway - this is 1000 times better! read more

Ordered as pick-up. Was ready in 15-20 mins. Bright cheerful place. Portion size on protein was good, but the roasted chicken was VERY dry and hard to chew. So were the roasted carrots, only 4 bits in my bowl. Sauces flavor good. Pita warm and soft. Seasoned basmati rice meh. Just down the street, about 3 min drive is Pita Cafe with much better food. Its a one and done for me for Pita and Basil read more

Highly recommend Pita & Basil! The food was delicious, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming.

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened, and boy oh boy was I not disappointed! I ordered the Gyro pita, I had them add garlic & cilantro sauce, diced cucumbers, feta cheese, lettuce and onion. The cilantro sauce is to die for! I think it made the whole sandwich super yummy. I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

I would give 6 stars if I could. This is my new #1 lunch spot. Every ingredient is so flavorful, fresh, healthful and delicious. I've tried them all. The cilantro sauce and chimmichuri are amazing. They're flexible with toppings, and I love the carrots as a base. Their service is terrific - very friendly. Highly recommend! read more
