Great bowls and fast service like chipotle line. Free pita given for check in for rewards. I got a chicken bowl

(Edited) This place is really good. Healthy options if you know what to choose. Fresh juices with their juicer are always good. Serving size meets the price, but not always a serving size that someone might need (maybe want.. lol). But fresh and good option for fast food read more

It is kind of like the Mediterranean version of Chipotle. It was ok, not great. The meat had a lot of flavor, but they used just plain store bought hard pita bread. Probably would not come back here. read more

This is hands down my favorite place for quick Mediterranean food! The staff is always so friendly, and they always build my bowl as if it were their own (you know what I mean.... Evenly dispersed ingredients throughout). I always build my own bowl, big fan of the jalapeño cilantro hummus and gyro with all of the other good stuff! A bonus, they give you pita bread on the side for free with each bowl. If you want to unwind, they even have a small bar on the side with some alcohol ic beverages and a TV. Pita Bistro has quickly became one of my favorite lunch spots! read more

Delicious, fast, and easy. The staff was very friendly and the food was tasty and fresh. I wish they had eggplant, but the choices they had were great. I appreciate being able to customize my bowl with all the choices they had. I would definitely eat there again! read more

Came here on a recommendation. ..was really disappointed. The pita was thin and cold. The portion discrepancy others have mentioned is very real. Mine was easily half the size of the woman in front me . Same dish. The hummus bowl. There are too many excellent fresh Mediterranean places in the metro area to have such terrible pita and inconsistencies. Definitely won't go again read more

Amazing! Love-Love-Love! So glad to have found this place. Tried a make your own hummus bowl with all four types of hummus (cilantro, red pepper, sriracha and original). Also got both rice and lentils. Then added cucumber salad, beets, olives, chickpeas and chips and topped with gyros meat. Mmmmmm... My daughter got the chicken on hers and was thrilled with it. We also tried two smoothies with whip cream. (Energizer ones) They were just okay. I would skip the smoothie next time and just stick with the bowl. read more

This place is good it is a Mediterranean Food version of Chipotle but it is good. So much better than Chipotle. My go to is a Chicken Shawarma bowl!!! My wife loves it as well!! Definitely healthy and ready quick!! read more

This is the Chipotle of pita places, and I wouldn't call that an endorsement. I've been there twice and Pita Bistro will not be on the top of my list for lunch spots. My first experience was okayish, I had a gyro wrap with pretty standard gyro ingredients. The veggies were crisp and the meat was fairly flavorful. They asked if I would like rice or lentils, I chose lentils...and they put them ON my gyro. I was expecting a side (the menu wasn't super clear, it just said that the wraps came with lentils or rice) and suddenly my perfectly adequate gyro was covered in lentils. This wouldn't have been too terrible, except that the lentils were HARD and flavorless and there were a lot of them. Skip the lentils or rice and it probably would have been alright. Today I tried a hummus bowl...it was bad. They take your choice of hummus and spread it all over the bottom of the bowl and load everything on top of it. In theory this would be fine, but by the time I got to the end of the line my bowl looked like a runny mash up of hummus and vegetables, topped with some lukewarm shwarma. I was still hopeful until they wedged my tiny slivers of pita bread mostly under the hummus. I made the 3 minute trip back to my office and everything in the bowl was already soggy and had mixed itself into an unappealing paste. Some of the individual components of the meal could have been good, but mashed together into a soggy lump I could only made it halfway through my bowl before I gave up. It's currently sitting like a rock in my stomach and I'm a little nauseated. The components: Original hummus - a little runny but okay flavor Veggies (tomatoes, red onions, cucumber) - seemed fresh enough, the cucumbers and onion were crisp Mediterranean salad stuff - watery and flavorless except for some parsley Tzaziki - I don't think the liquid they sloshed over my bowl deserved to be called tzaziki. It was thin, translucent, and just waterlogged the bowl without adding any flavor chicken shwarma - okay flavor, but a little tough pita bread - probably would have been fine if it hadn't been shoved into the hummus soup, but it ended up soggy The service is standard for any of these production line quick-serve restaurants. There are a half dozen people behind the counter, straining to hear over the din of the dining room. They kind of hear your instructions, but they're super busy and a little impatient if you hesitate or ask a question. I don't actually mind that- I know they're busy and the pay probably sucks- so I'm not going to expect 5 star service. But the food wasn't good, so I'm not going back either. read more

I'm not sure if we came on an off day or what was up but our experience sucked. This was our first time going here. The place is a Mediterranean version of Chipotle. The woman taking our order had a sticker indicating she was in training. She spoke very softly and we had to ask her to repeat things several times before her trainer finally had to step in and ask us the questions in an audible voice. I also felt like the menu wasn't very clear. The kebobs come with tomato, cucumber, and onion. They have a mix of those veggies diced up so I assumed that was what went into my hummus bowl but it turns out it is actual slices of veg which doesn't make much sense for a bowl. They upcharged me for adding the diced and mixed version of the exact same veggies with a bit of parsley mixed in. They also lost points because the drink lids for the regular size drink didn't fit and both our drinks leaked on the way back to the office. And thank goodness we had utensils already at the office because the utensil holder at the restaurant was disgusting dirty. As for the food, it wasn't anything special. The chicken was overcooked and rubbery. The hummus was bland. Overall, I don't think I'd give this place a second shot, there just wasn't anything motivating me to return. read more

Good food, clean place.The hummus salad bowl I ordered they only put very few little lettuce greens and alot of hummus,if you want extra lettuce they double charge you for a second bowl and they say there not able to give out anymore. I been to this place a few times and it's the same story.if I'm gonna spend $18 on a salad I rather go somewhere else. read more

I really wanted to love this place but just thought the food was "ok". I'm a rather simple girl, so just ordered the Taboule Pita Wrap with Jalapeno/Cilantro Hummus. It was very bland tasting! The place is cute and the staff was excellent..maybe I'll try one more time just to make sure, but hoping for better flavor next time. read more

I'm obsessed with Mediterranean/Greek food so I'm always on the search for authentic, flavorful, Greek food : look no further than pita bistro!! It was my first time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised as to how wonderful the service and convenient the fast pace was. I will for sure eat here again. 5 stars !! read more

This isn't my first time at Pita bistro. I've come here over a dozeen times! There food is top notch, clean, delicious and their service is phenomenal! I love all the employees since yoou always see a smile on their faces. I would always choose you guys over any Mediterranean place in the area. 10/10 read more

Stopped here on the way to the airport to grab a bite. We were pleasantly surprised that they had a full bar and TV's. Both of us had a create-your-own salad, which was cool because you can choose whatever you want, and the servings are very generous. They spread a full layer of hummus on the bottom of the container, which serves as a great base and pretty much eliminates the need for dressing. The reason for the 3-star rating is the simple fact that their pita bread was sub-par. I've had better from the grocery store. If you're going to call yourself a "Pita Bistro", you better be darn sure that your pita bread is great. read more

This place is great. Kind of like a middle eastern chipotle. Bowls and the fresh juices are my go-to's. My ONLY complaint is that they recently changed the size of the bowl(smaller) and you're still paying the same price..And trust me.. they are NOT the same size lol. read more

I attended here with my daughter, no kids menu and the staff seemed annoyed when I asked. I should have checked out on yelp before we went in. It was lunch so they were really busy. We ordered the hummus and pita chips which my daughter gobbled up immediately. We also had a chicken shwarma salad and a gyro wrap. The salad had way too much oregano on it and the chicken was totally dried out and the wrap had a really weird dressing on it but the gyro meat was great. My daughter loved the strawberry smoothie. Decent for lunch but doubt we will come back just because of costumer service. The only person that even looked like they wanted to be working their was the smoothie operator! read more

This place is bomb. Food is sooo good. A little pricey in my opinion but it's a big helping. I've been here a few times since it's right up the street from my work, I've never noticed it being dirty. read more

I have been eating here for months now and feel the same way today as I felt when they first opened... I STILL LOVE IT! Food: I've read a complaint about the bowl size change, have to DISAGREE. The amount of food today is the same as before, just changed the bowl type and I actually like the new ones more. And UNLIKE chipotle you can add anything that can fit onto your bowl without the up charge, at chipotle there's a fee for the extras and a bowl ends up costing $10-$11! Food tastes fresh and the flavor is on point! Service: the staff here gets a 5 star rating from me. Very kind and friendly, and no matter how long th line is they always seem to maintain a quick flow and get you your food fast. Environment: really nice, modern & cozy feel. Good music playing. And really clean. I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Overdue, Cold, Tasteless and DISSAPOINTING!!!!!!!!!! This is a joke for a delivery. Greek Fries were in a covered container that steamed them to death then they cooled down to be delivered at room temp and soggy. My Gyro Pita Wrap was awful as well - ice cold, pita wrap had never been heated up and had pickles on it????????????????? Take this one off my list read more

The food here is fresh and DELICIOUS! Their chicken has the best flavor of most Mediterranean places I've tried. The staff is friendly and very efficient. I was in and out of there with my lunch in under 5 minutes. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

The hummus bowl is the bomb!!! I got the roasted red pepper one (create your own), lentils, a little but of rice, fattoush salad, and red onions! Yum! Everything on the menu is quick, delicious and affordable. I cannot go without the garlic dip served on the side read more

I would give them 6 more stars if yelp would allow it! Pita Bistro catered a wedding rehearsal dinner for my family last week! The restaurant staff was very very attentive, and went out of their way to add extra decorations and garnish! Pricing by far beat any local restaurant in the valley!! We ordered gyro, chicken kabobs, salads, and hummus the potions sizes were filling for all of the guests and the staff even packaged it up nicely so that we were able to warm it in the oven the next day!! THANK YOU PITA BISTRO! read more

Tried this place twice... Hoping it would be good. Food is so dry its not even worth another shot.

The food here tastes very fresh. The staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable. The portions are excellent - particularly if you make your own bowl, then it's huge and delicious! The atmosphere is light and casual. Not sure what else to say except I eat here regularly because it is always an excellent experience. read more

So, not a fan of hummus at all! Just so you know. With that being said, I have never been to a fast food Mediterranean/gyro place until now for that reason. Reminded me of a very popular burrito fast food restaurant that gets your order done right as you get to checkout with all the fixings you want along the way. I ordered the gyro, with all the veggies and extra tzakziki sauce to wash it down. The burrito, I mean gyro/pita, was rather good despite my lack of enthusiasm for knowing there were so many other good places to eat for lunch near by. I am giving this 3 stars, not just because I hate hummus, but also because I am not a fan of fast food of any kind, especially chipotle style fast food. The food was healthy and fresh which is why this is not a 2 or 1 star. As far as price goes, this restaurant gets 4 stars in my book. Cheap and quick! An upgrade from my original 2 star review before the owner contacted me personally through yelp. read more

Try the energizer so refreshing and tasty and it's not overly sweet like most juices. read more

Pita Bistro - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Tried to go here for lunch with my coworker. The parking lot was nuts and there was a line almost out the door. We had to pass that day, but came back once it slowed down on another day. I had the Mediterranean Nachos, which were okay, but not something I'd stand in line a half hour for. My coworker thought is was only okay too. He had a bowl of theirs that had gyro meat, rice, etc. Overall I won't be back when I'm back in Tempe. read more

Pita Bistro - Mediterranean Nachos - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I came here for lunch and was so glad I did! It was really busy, but I had no problem finding a seat. I hate the comparison to Chipotle because I really can't stand Chipotle, but it is that kind of assembly line that enables you to get exactly what you want. I had the hummus bowl with the siracha and jalapeno ciliantro hummus, salad, tablouleh, cucumber tomato salad, olives, feta, and more. For $7.95, it was more than enough and was fresh and delicious! I didn't try any PB sauce, or any other sauce. The pita is thin, but I didn't mind that and thought it was really good. As far as portion discrepancy, I saw that it does depend on the person making the bowl, but I am not afraid to ask for more if I feel I'm not getting what I want. They didn't give me any grief about it and gave me more. No problem. I definitely recommend this place and will come back next time I'm in Phoenix. read more

I got a chicken shawarma wrap with rice, hummus, tabouli tomatoes, and PB sauce. It was really tasty. Service was quick the food seems very fresh. I had an issue with the food being too garlicky the second time but the owner immediately rectified the situation and when I went a third time I found the food to be just as wonderful as the first time. I would highly recommend this as a healthy option, especially considering what else is in the area. read more

Thank you to Nas G. of Pita Bistro for making things right! After my 1st visit I was a bit disappointed in the angus beef wrap I ordered. Disappointed because I love Mediterranean and this was a new place fairly close to the office. I went back to give it another shot, sort of a 2nd date and I was more than satisfied! I even took a co-worker with me that loved the Chicken Shawarma wrap! I would definitely recommend Pita Bistro. Thanks again Nas! I am definitely a fan now!! read more

I am so impressed with this place! I met my husband for lunch during the week and I didn't really know what to expect. But it was so good. It reminds me of a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. I got the veggie combo hummus bowl and added a chicken skewer. You basically can tell them what you'd like in it as it goes down the line, with hummus as the base. They also do wraps, salads, and even juice and smoothies. Their system is better than the assembly line they do at Chipotle (where one person does meats, one person does salsa, etc.)... here you have one person and they go down and finish preparing your entire meal and hand it off to the cashier, then they return back to the front of the line and take the next person. So during the lunch rush, it was very busy and they were well staffed and it moved very nicely. I appreciated that. The veggie combo was so good. The fallafel was crispy and flavorful, the red pepper hummus was really good, and whatever they marinade the chicken in is amazing! My husband usually isn't a big fan of just grilled chicken but he loved it. I was so full and still have half of my bowl left. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and simple. They also have 3 different options for brewed iced tea which I love! It was a little pricey but for the quality and taste I'd say it's worth it. I saw a sign that said they are opening a full bar soon and adding a happy hour menu. I will definitely be back! read more

Pita Bistro - Veggie Combo Hummus Bowl with Chicken Skewer (taken off the skewer) - Mediterranean Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been a loyal customer for years, as I work around the corner. I went in today and ordered a market PB dip, chicken shwarma, and a side of rice. Buyer BEWARE! Watch as they ring you up. The menu board says that a side of rice is 2.95. It rang up as 3.95. One dollar, right? Not a big deal, but still. The attitude of the clerk was the big deal. Her response was "I don't do the menu board", and repeated the incorrect total. I said again that it was not the right price, and she got all huffy with me and turned to her co-worker and said "she's making a big deal out of it". I replied "Really, I'm making a big deal? What is your name?" Her name is Carla. Thanks, Carla. I won't be back, I'll frequent the family owned Jay's Gyros across the street or drive to Ahwatukee for Pita Jungle. read more

I get lunch here almost everyday, it does get super packed... but the employees are always very friendly and on top of it. The food is also very good. I would 100% recommend this place to my friends. :) read more

More of a fast food joint than a traditional bistro. Staff wasn't overly enthusiastic. I did the take out and while at my hotel I found a hair in my pita. Very dissatisfied and wouldn't go back again. read more

This is genius! Like Chipotle but Greek food ....I created my own hummus bowl. Big portions and tons of fresh options

Very fresh and tasty ingredients. I love all the different hummus be it siracha or jalapeño varieties. Chicken kebabs skewers are delicious. I always get the kickin kabab. This is served with rice and lentils. Yelp checkers receive 10% off their total order. read more

This place is awesome! And it was right down the street from where my boyfriend and I used to live. What a gem. As the name gives away, Pita Bistro is where you can get a pita from. I always got the chicken shawarma (chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickle, hummus, tzaziki sauce) with extra tzaziki sauce! Delicious! One of the better shwarmas I've had in my life. This place also has smoothies and a little bar. It is very mod and such a gem in the middle of a slightly sketchy area. I highly recommend. Remember to ask for extra tzaziki. read more

Very tasty bowls. Chicken was pretty dry. Vegetables were fresh. Red pepper hummus was a little bland. Overall a good portion for the money. Music was way too loud. Hard to carry on a conversation. read more
