    You must stop by Pita Hot. Not only is this family business the most delicious & fresh Mediterranean food within a 100 mile radius, the customer service is top notch. We were treated so well. We don't mind the endless traffic lights to get here!! FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!

    Chicken Kabob Entree

    Love this place. Stopped by for lunch. It's been years since I been here but love to see some of the same friendly staff/owners and great food! Lunch was spot on! Same great flavor!

    Beef kabobs with rice, and sides of babaganoush and tzatziki with pita
    Justina T.

    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.

    Kafta and Chicken Shawarma Plate. Tabbouleh and Hummus as the sides, and rice and Mediterranean Salad as the base.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Three meat combo plate with red cabbage and red onion
    Michael A.

    Actual delicious chunks of charbroiled lamb food is delicious. They have lamb skewers steak skewers chicken skewers. You can get a three meat combo. Everything is delicious. The service is really great. Staff is friendly and nice. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Try this place delicious Mediterranean food.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate with Mediterranean Salad and Cucumber Yogurt Salad

    been eating here for several years now, and i always have zero complaints because it tastes great, portion is large, and their quality is consistently amazing. i always get their chicken shawarma plate with mediterranean salad and cucumber yogurt salad, and i would eat it everyday if i could. the service is always great too as they always greet you warmly. food usually takes about 15-20 mins especially during peak hours, so i would recommend ordering in advance. it is definitely my favorite mediterranean spot of ALL TIME, and would recommend this place to anyone!

    Suzzette H.

    Food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! Nice portion sizes, food cooked well. Very impressed! Service was quick and courteous! Food arrived quickly. Restaurant was clean and kept up. Overall a really good experience! I would return for sure!

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    One of my go to places for chicken shawarma. The rice and chicken have so much flavor, and the red cabbage is the perfect complement.

    Falafel Plate w/ Tabbouleh & hummus
    Isabel S.

    Grabbed a quick plate here- your choice protein & two sides, lots of options. Friendly service. My new spot for a falafel bite!

    Chicken shawarma, kefta, hummus and sumac onions.
    Vanessa G.

    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.

    If you see this guy at the register turn around and walk back out the door

    What is the cost of a full tray of rice?

    Depends on the size Small= $3.49 Medium=$4.99… 

    Is the dining area open now?

    No and the restrooms are also still closed to the public, so when you're waiting for your order of dry over cooked chicken that they told you would be ready in 20 minutes, but actually took 40 minutes, don't expect them to let you use their restroom.

    Is the dining area open yet?

    Nope..

    How do I order online? I don't see an order function on their website... *edited: Turns out that you have to use the desktop version of the website, not the mobile version, in…

    I, too, can't see how I can order online when I tap on the website link via Yelp. There's no link to order online on the Yelp site either. They rarely answer their phone since they are so busy! Love their food but I tend to avoid ordering from here… 

    Is the meat halal?

    Yes, all the meat here is HALAL.

    Do you have catering? If yes how much for 150 people?

    Yes but you have to email them 48 hours in advance to place catering pitahotfullerton@gmail.com it's about $9 per person.

    Is this place still open?

    Yes!! Order ahead because there's usually a wait. Only one customer allowed to order inside at a time, gotta wait outside for the food.

    Our family used to be regulars but stopped coming after the food poisoning event. Is it safe to come back?

    We been there three times in the last two months an had no problems .

    Are you guys still open? I passed by and it was closed

    They open Tuesday-Sunday mondays are closed due to staffing shortages

    Because I have no common sense, what's a good time to go and not have to wait forever if I don't want to order online? Tell me!

    Call it in. Then go pick it up.

    Is pita hot halal?

    Not sure where they source their meats from...I would imagine they are? Zait Zatar in Anaheim is:)

    How was their catering service? We are considering for 200 guests.

    Never on time. I've ordered catering ahead of time and still had to wait over an hour.

I recommend the Les Amis Platter for little bit of their staples! The ambiance in here is unique. The exterior and interior have a special feeling that immerses you to an authentic Mediterranean space. I'd like to add that the complimentary pita chips and hummus is a great touch! I met the owner and she's an admirable woman, she's kind and passionate about sharing her cuisine. Perfect place for a date night, birthday, fun dinner-hangout or simply for a a good meal!

    Literally saw the sign while walking and I have no regrets!…read more First off, the ambience is beautiful. The dim lighting and candles are super romantic. I got a seat with a bit of sunlight coming in from the window and that felt like the perfect touch. Avery is so kind. She immediately mentioned the Soup of the Day and the blend for the herb water and I knew I had to get both! They rotate both out every single day depending on what they have on hand, which is a great indicator that they source their ingredients fresh. The soup was puréed eggplant with a coconut milk or cream base and it was the creamiest eggplant dish I'd ever had in my life. Very smooth, no seeds. I didn't even know eggplant could get to that consistency. It's a beautiful soup and I would come back just for that. Arabic tea was not as strong as I'd had in other restaurants but for a nice dining place like this, I think it's good that it wasn't so bitter. Maybe it's also because I dunked a whole packet of honey in mine beforehand Beef stew was great. There were only a few beef chunks but if you're a fan of the vegetable you're choosing (I love zucchini so that worked out well for me), then it's a perfect portion for one. I can't believe I've just been passing this gem behind for so long! Will definitely come back with some company next time around.

The other didn't quite understand what I was asking for. Anyways, I just settled for a half order because apparently that's all I can order if it's with that bread. Food wasn't all that great. The liver was missing the veggies you see in the pictures. The so called tahini sauce was a thick paste that looks nothing like the runny sauce in the pictures. I wanted to try several other things but this first visit was so bad I don't think I will be coming back.
