Today I was craving Pita Hot, but I wanted something fresh. Inspiration struck: I could make my own tabbouleh bowl! One of the wonderful things about Pita Hot is that you can order dishes a la carte. I got a side of shawarama meat with tahini and a medium tabbouleh, and the portions were great!!! Behold: a gorgeous, fresh tabbouleh shawarama salad. I also ordered one of their coffee drinks for the first time. I really liked the cardamom latte: it was at a great price point, and not too sweet. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Pita Hot has been around a long time. Tucked inside of a mini-plaza on Chapman in Fullerton, Pita Hot has long been surrounded by Fullerton food staples such as Huntington Ramen, Roll & Grill, and Curry Hut. But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10. read more

Pita Hot - 3 Skewer Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Food: excellent. Tasty. Hot and fresh all the time. Price: you get what you pay for. Quality. Service: it might take a while to get your food after you order but you know they cook aa you order. Ambiance: ample seating area. Practical..nothing fancy. Parking: limited. Might need to drive around a few times to get lucky with parking spot. Depending on the time of day, you can be lucky and get a spot in front of the restaurant. read more

Craving for some Mediterranean food and a friend of mine recommended this place. A medium size location that's well lit and the aroma of grilled meat surrounding the air. Service was good though I felt rushed since I am not familiar with their menu. Ordered ground beef kabob with salad and tzatziki on the side, pita bread and their homemade hummus. Unfortunately, the meat was overcooked, dry, and a bit bland. Their hummus was just okay. I had better. My experience was a bit disappointing and most likely wont be coming back. read more

This humble eatery is aptly named because the food is FIRE! Pita Hot's fresh and delicious food makes my favorite local Mediterranean joint seem like Arby's (JK... I actually love Arby's, but you get the gist). When I first walked in, the staff lit up and the main guy warmly said, "Welcome!" Even though it's the type of spot where you order at the counter and pay before eating, they still cared about providing an inviting ambiance and great customer service, and that makes all the difference. I ordered a cucumber lemonade and beef kebab plate with rice, baba ganoush, and tzatziki. They gave me my drink first, and I sat down and waited for my grub. A few other people had ordered before I did, so the wait was a bit long (~20 min), but it was well worth it. The cucumber lemonade was a bit too sweet for my liking, but still refreshing with a prominent cucumber flavor. You can also see bits of cucumber in the drink, so it's def not artificially flavored. When my food was ready, I was so excited to chow down! The beef was cooked to a medium, and it was so juicy and tender. It was restaurant quality with how nicely it was cooked and seasoned. The rice was fluffy and satisfying with the beef. And the side of pita that comes with the plate complemented my baba ganoush and tzatziki wonderfully. My preferred style of eggplant is rustic and mildly smoked, which this was! And the tzatziki had a fabulous texture (not too watery or thick) with just the right amount of seasoning. Lastly, when I exited the shop, the staff thanked me for my patronage. I can't wait to return! I'll probably order the same thing because it was the definition of scrumptious. read more

Friend recommended we meet here for lunch - we love Mediterranean food so why not?! Hubby and I ordered the 2 and 3 item plate. Mine: chicken shawarma, kafta with half rice half salad base and hummus + tabbouleh for my sides. Hubby got 2 orders steak and 1 order chicken kabob with rice base and double hummus. My friend opted for the chicken kabob plate with rice as the base, and salad + hummus as the sides. Oh. My. God. This is my new fave Mediterranean restaurant. Their meats were seasoned to perfection and they had the best tabbouleh I've ever had. I'm so in love. The only downside was that they didn't have sumac packs to put on the food, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me at all. The food tasted great without it. The food took a while to come out, as I later learned they cook it fresh to order. Each plate comes with a giant pita bread and also a side of garlic sauce. Ah, I'm getting hungry again just thinking about all the delicious food. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for?! Please give them a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Pita Hot - Three meat combo plate with red cabbage and red onion - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Great Mediterranean food! The goof from Pita Hot was amazing. Super fresh! Very flavorful and satisfying. Loved it! My husband and I were in a food coma after eating here! IT was just so good, hard to stop eating lol I got the falafel plate, and it was great! Very big plate with lots of food. It was hearty and fresh. The fried falafels were tasty! I am obsessed with the rice! The rice has so much flavor. The tabouli was very fresh. Overall, the falafel plate was a hit! I also enjoyed the French fries. They were steak fries, thick, cooked well with just the right amount of salt. My husband got the beef kabab and chicken plate. He loved both and scarfed them down! He also agreed that the rice was addicting lol the meat was good too, he said. This was a great stop for both of us! I'm trying to get my husband to like Mediterranean food more, because I love it lol read more

Ambiance 4/5! Cute clean place! You walk in and it just smells great, like grilled food! Service 5/5, I walked in and immediately greeted, and I asked for a couple mins since it's my first time and the gentleman was amazing! Offered me to ask any questions and to take my time! Super 5 star. I even asked about coffee and he recommended me their Turkish coffee! But I wanted a cold coffee and got a pistachio latte instead! So the food I got a 3 portion plate and got 2 beef and 1 chicken shawarma. And double hummus! Got home and opened the box! It isn't just like grounded beef! It's like beef steak sliced into thin pieces, full of flavor and almost a hint of curry powder! My wife doesn't love curry but I thought it was fulll of flavor and different than other Shawarma I had before! 5/5! Def coming back to try their other items next time! And thank you for the 5/5 star service ! Overall 4/5! Really tough so close to a 5! Now I wish my order came with one more pita lol, I got just 1 for a 3 portion plate. (3 portion means like 3 skewers worth of meats) It was a lot of food, we shared!! And still had left overs for my lunch! read more

Pita Hot - Falafel Plate w/ Tabbouleh & hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

One of our favorites! Mediterranean food, family owned and a staple for many years in Fullerton. Service is always friendly and helpful. Food is real, not processed, made with love, just like Mom, and portions are good size. Among our favorites are the Chicken Shawarma & the Hummus, delicious!! They have an additional room for seating. They also have To-go & delivery options and are packaged well which makes for a good pick-up on the way home from a long day; plan ahead with ordering at dinner time, they can get busy cause they are popular!! read more

I love this place for the large portions, food quality, and the wide variety of protein choices they offer at the same price for their combos. When you order the skewer combos, you can pick from chicken, beef, lamb, ground chicken, ground beef, and so on - without paying an upgrade fee. I appreciate this! Nice place for a quiet, healthy lunch. Best top order in advance because they do take time to prepare each order, fresh. Save yourself the wait if possible ordering online. Recommend read more

Probably the best Mediterranean food I've ever had in my life! I had the chicken shawarma with hummus and tabouleh and everything was fantastic. I'm from LA and my bf is from riverside; we told each other that whenever we are in Fullerton we HAVE to eat here just because of how good it is read more

My husband has been bringing home take out from here weekly. It is delicious. I especially love the shawarma and the kefta. I also love the hummus and sumac onions. The white cabbage is also flavorful. Food is always served quickly and its always hot and fresh. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. Service is great and its usually pretty busy. Ambiance is very casual. read more

My friend and I tried Mediterranean food from here for the first time, and we enjoyed the large portions. Note that it took almost half an hour for me to get my food. The staff member had said that the food would be ready in 20 minutes. I like how the food is cooked to order, but expect a wait if ordering inside. I had the chicken shawarma plate ($15.99) with rice, Turkish salad, and tzatziki (cucumber yogurt). The meal comes in a takeout box with one piece of pita bread. My box had a large amount of nicely marinated, bite-sized chicken. The rice, provided in a perfect portion, was deliciously savory. The meat and rice were the most enjoyable parts of the meal, but the sides were adequate. I didn't expect the Turkish salad to have a liquefied texture like salsa. With minced onions, tomato paste, and spices, the flavor was vinegary and sweet. It mixed a little with the tzatziki, so I'd rather order the Mediterranean salad for something more familiar. For next time, I'd pay more attention to the pictures of the sides at the ordering counter. Also, the complementary pita bread wasn't as warm as I wished. Unfortunately, the bathroom had a conspicuously bad odor. There was a continuous air freshener, but it didn't help. The ambience was fine, and there's a good amount of space for seating. There weren't many people when we visited, so the restaurant allowed for some privacy at the time. Overall, the large portions were such a treat, and I'd want to visit again. The price point is competitive, and having leftovers is a good possibility. I'd likely order about 20 minutes in advance to account for the waiting time. read more

Portion sizes, taste, affordability used to make this place great! Now portions are smaller and prices have skyrocketed(look at pictures of the menu pricing over the years). It's a shame. read more

Possibly the most stressful experience I have ever had ordering. The cashier was condescending and rude when asking questions regarding menu items. The guy with the beard was nice though Really disappointed because the lady that is usually here is so nice.

Pita Hot - If you see this guy at the register turn around and walk back out the door - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

Pita Hot is easily a local gem. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food at a decent price this is the place for you. Let me start off by saying that everything on their menu is great. My go to order is a three skewer plate with beef and chicken kebab, rice, cucumber yogurt, and hummus. The portions here are insane. They give you so much meat and it's not like other places where the quality is lacking. It's high-quality and flavorful and always cooked to perfection. They give you so much hummus in one plate that you can easily use it for several meals. The real hidden gym here is their rice. I have no idea what they put in it to make it so tasty but it's so good! The cucumber yogurt salad is so refreshing as well. Ask for a side of the garlic sauce and the green chili sauce. The green chili sauce is so good! Each plate comes with a pita on the side. The service here is always great. All of the workers are attentive and kind. You're able to phone ahead and place your order which is very convenient. I think it's family owned as well. I recently realized that they have a whole other dining area on the other side. Be sure to check it out! read more

Recently moved to the area and a friend recommended this place. The plates are easy to order as you're able to try various combinations! You choose your size, base, and 2 sides. I ordered the beef kabab with rice as my base then Mediterranean salad and tzatziki sauce as my sides. My sister ordered the same but her choice of protein was beef shawarma. We both enjoyed our dishes as they were full of flavor, were fresh, and included a pita bread also. Excited to keep this place in our rotation and try other dishes! read more

I love the beef kabob plate , with rice sumac onions Mediterranean salad and a side of hummus. So delicious!

I love coming here. Food has a home cooked feel with quality ingredients. Healthy well balanced meals that taste like real food. All you need. If I could only eat at one place, this would definitely be it. Everything is good here. Kebobs, falafel, rice, fries, etc. the parking can get a little sticky, but Ive always been able to find a space. It looks small on the outside, but there is a huge additional room inside, so lots of space. Clean and laid back. The food will take a minute to cook because i guess its made fresh to order or something, so definitely not fast food. but never takes too long and it always tastes like its worth the wait, anytime of the day. Workers are always very friendly and helpful. read more

Pita Hot - Walnut Baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place is so good. The food is perfect every time. The people here are fantastic and they like to connect with their customers. The regulars are committed to this place because the quality and flavors or excellent. I prefer sitting in the back eating area because it's more spacious, but you'll never regret dining in here. Trust me just go. Get a chicken shawarma with the Mediterranean salad and hummus. Get your self a side of lamb kabob and you have the happiest belly. Baklava is always a good choice as well. Everything is homemade / made from scratch. I've been coming here for almost 5 years now and I can't believe I've never left a review. My wife and I come here probably once a week because you can find a better lunch spot in Fullerton. read more

I think that this is the best Mediterranean spot in Fullerton. I always crave the chicken Shawarma and love how they prepare their rice here. I typically get the salad as my side and the portion is so large that I can usually give me two meals. They have an expansion of the restaurant so there's more places to sit. Although it is a fast food like restaurant, the surface is always great with friendly faces. read more
