The falafel was absolute perfection, the babaganoush creamy and flavorful, hummus made just the way I like with a generous amount of tahini, even the salad was remarkably balanced with a bright vinaigrette and plenty of rich umami from chopped olives. I came in with high expectations from the reviews I read and my expectations were exceeded. The family running the restaurant was so warm and kind. My kids came in with me to wait on a takeout order and were extremely wound up from a day on the road and the patient owner told them the stories behind the restaurant decor and made it a really special experience for them. read more

Food is amazing. So much flavor, best Mediterranean food in town. Owners are so nice and very courteous. Definitely recommend. read more

Not necessarily a hole in the wall but a family restaurant. Very good food quality and service. Matthew gave me the run down and suggested the beef shish kebab. A lot of flavor and not overcooked. Had my baby with me and decided to eat there incase he started going off. Staff brought me water and utensils. Ended up having a good convo during my meal with Matthew. I realize some want to be left alone while they eat but I enjoyed the conversation. I will be back. read more

Eating here felt like eating at my favorite auntie's house! We walked in and were immediately greeted with warmth and kindness by the family who runs it. 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. read more

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the service.. it could've been better but the FOOOD. It's flavorful, has every seasoning needed and the portions are great! I made this plate two meals. The beef kebob is a big size and the sizes are good read more

I don't get the chance to visit Bakersfield very often. However, this hidden gem of a restaurant absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. This is none other than "Pita House", a business that has been around since late-2010 and has been dishing out some amazingly excellent Mediterranean dishes. Located in a strip mall off of Ming Ave and Akers Rd, this business is in a large strip mall that consists of many other eateries and retail stores. Parking can get a little busy depending on the time of day or evening you come. After parking my vehicle, there are no actual windows where you can see inside. And also be careful not to go into the pupusa restaurant as that is right next door. However, when making my way inside, I noticed how this place has that old school look to it. Everything from the avocado-colored walls to the seats and floor tiles, it gives you those 1980's vibes. I also wanted to add that there is a very cool painting of a beach w/ocean near the ordering area as well as another painting of mountains and clouds behind the register. After glancing through their menu, I ended up going with their #24 "Gyro Deluxe" combo. This consisted of 1/2 Greek salad complete with gyro meat inside of pita bread. I chose lamb as my protein of choice. My lady went with their "Chicken Salad" which consists of onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, Romaine lettuce, and olives. There was only one lady working while the chefs were in the back cooking and preparing the food. We arrived around 7:50pm during the evening of Thursday 7/25/2024. Since there was a very large party (of about 8 people) that ordered right before us, the lady (which I am guessing is the owner/manager) said it would be a bit of a wait. I like being informed that it will take awhile to give us a heads up. However, it only took about 25 minutes which I did not mind at all. As far as my gyro and salad, everything tasted absolutely perfect. The salad had some of the greenest lettuce (we are in Kern County where there is so much agriculture here) and it was all very fresh. My gyro also had very generous amount of lamb while the pita was warm and soft. I even tried some of her chicken salad and even this was seasoned to perfection. After cleaning our plates and finishing our meals, we paid and give the lady a little tip. All in all, "Pita House" was a very pleasant surprise and one of the better Mediterranean places I've been to. So if you're in Bakersfield, definitely check them out. Keep in mind they are closed on Sundays but open every other day. My rating, a unanimous five stars. read more

The food is delicious. Will be returning. Charming little place, clean, with friendly staff.

Pita House is a Clean and casual restaurant. They are family friendly. You can dine in or take out and they do catering. I was early for lunch so not many people in restaurant. They have a Lovely hand painted mural of a Jordan valley & mountains on one of their walls. It has been Family owned since 2011. I had their Melt in your mouth tender & Delicious beef gyro & tzatziki sauce served with house salad of fresh crunchy veggies with house vinaigrette dressing. The portions are Generous. They have beef, lamb or chicken gyro meat for your preference. I highly recommend their food! read more

I ordered online the shawerma plate for lunch. The order was ready as promised and the lady was super nice but the food let me down. The beef was too salty and the portion was small. The plate came with rice which was good and a small salad. read more

The food is amazing! So many gyros are made with beef, they do the gyro justice by making it with lamb, as should be. I had the gyro with greek salad, and loved every bite of it. The woman who took my order and handed me my to go bag, is a gem. Please enjoy and support these wonderful folks! read more

It was a Monday evening, and we didn't want to cook. I had seen this place on Yelp. I love Mediterranean food, and this place had several good reviews. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered the chicken swarma with rice pilaf, hummus, and Taziki. Everything is made fresh, so we sat and enjoyed our tea while we waited. It was a bit quiet in the restaurant, but the chairs were comfortable. The food is a good value. The chicken flavorful, the hummus tasty. The menu is full of delights. I wanted to try the grape leaves, but they were out. The owner said, "You need to come earlier." That's a pretty good recommendation that they make things fresh everyday. This is a nice mom-and-pop restaurant you feel good eating at. read more

Flame and skewers move over..! The flavor and quality of food here is amazing! The woman who took our order is the owner I believe, and I think a relative is the cook, just based on how they were communicating . It did take some time to come out, but when it did... it was well worth the wait. I'll definitely be back! read more

Chicken kebab is what I ordered and it tasted very very good. Only thing however is they charged 16.95 instead of the 13.95 it was listed for on the menu. I didn't notice until I drove 5 hours back home. So just keep an eye on the total. Other than that the atmosphere felt very homey which I liked cause it made me feel like I was going to eat very authentic food, which I did. The man is very nice too if you speak to him. Doesn't like Pasadena weather tho. read more

Pita House - receipt says 16.95, but if u look on the menu it is 13.95. Not a big deal but if it is to you then keep an eye on your receipt. - Greek Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Amazing food one of my favorites good people and service.... You can taste the love and authenticity

The #37 (Chicken Sharwama, salad, hummus) is so damn good. Went back, the lady taking my order is really rude. While the food is great not sure I'll be going back. Just left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I wished I liked the food we ordered more. The vibe of the restaurant is so hole-like and inviting and the owners are so sweet so there's no problem with the restaurant itself. The food was alright... the meat was slightly underseasoned and kinda greasy and the rice had the consistency of riceroni. The hummus was so good and we got alright pita. The portions are small for the price I paid and the lamb tasted like beef. In total I paid around 36 dollars for two plates. I'm sorry to the owners for this review as you were very welcoming. read more

Ordered takeout and the food was amazing! Best Greek food in Bakersfield by far. We had the delux gyro and falafel which were all excellent!

In town for the day , we wanted healthy food and the Pita House was a clear choice. We were welcomed by host/owner . Our authentic meals were delicious my son had the falafel hummus plate and I order the Greek salad. Everything fresh and wonderful. The Turkish coffee served in a small copper kettle, which we poured into a cute ceramic tea cup . 5 stars read more

Decent place, but the food is a joke and the value is horrible. To go pita and salad was 20 bucks for nothing. Literally just a small amount if meat in a wrap with nothing else. A Greek salad with only lettuce. I'm angry about the rip off for something you can buy elsewhere with better quality at half the price. read more

Pita House - A gyro with only meat and very little of it. It's a rip off for the price. - Greek Near Me - Bakersfield, California

It's been almost 5 years since we were here! Because we drove all this way to do some business we decided to have a late lunch and maybe it might be dinner too! Not a person around so we have the whole place to ourselves! The food was so good! The Lamb just fell off the bone! So tender and tasty! read more

Ok , so this is not a fancy date restaurant, but it is nice Ma' and Pa' place you can come and have a good hearty meal - on plates that remind you of mom's cooking. I had the beef gyro plate (really was craving lamb but I guess there's a lamb shortage) , it was very flavorful, served on a bed of yellow (saffron?) rice , with pita bread (that coulda been better, but not bad ) . I definitely would recommend this place and will be going back . read more

I was looking to try a new place for my Mediterranean food cravings and I found Pita House. Since this was my first time I wanted to try what I usually get at the Mediterranean restaurants. Beef shawarma plate and an extra side of spicy Hummus. Beef shawarma had an amazing taste. It tasted very homemade than a restaurant and I was kinda surprised how good it was. Rice also looked and tasted different and I mean good different. My only lil complaint would be the portion of Beef Shawarma which I think was less than id have liked and it felt like a side than the main dish. Spicy Hummus was also great and spicy. They have quite a variety of Hummus so I would definitely try a different flavor next time. read more

We looked up organic food as we got close to Bakersfield and pita house came up. It was easy to get off 99 and go. The food was fresh and delicious. The only negative was no olives on the Greek salad, but the dressing was delicious. I'm doing the review now. We got the baklava and tabouli salad to go and will have that for a snack later. Lisa did a great job with the service. read more

Ordered chicken shawarma plate with rice and hummus. I love the taste of the hummus and the rice-hummus was a little bit spicy and the rice is sooo good! The chicken is good as well and it taste different from the other mediterranean chicken shawarma in town- in a good way. :) next time i will order the skewers and beef shawarma :) just the place itself is a little gloomy probably bec of social distancing rules that all the tables were on the side- not sure though cos i didnt come here before covid. read more

First time eating here and I've had shawarma before but not here in Bakersfield so I was excited to try this place. I got the lamb shawarma with rice and hummus and it did not disappoint! 10/10 and I will definitely be coming back. Also the lady who helped me was very friendly.

Food was delicious!! I ordered the chicken skewers combo with rice, a salad, pita bread, and ordered a side of hummus. The chicken was so rich in flavor it was amazing! The rice was very light which I think was a great pairing with the flavorful chicken. The salad was good as well. The hummus was good but it had an interesting flavor & idk if it's just me or maybe i had never had authentic hummus before. Overall everything was great and the lady who was in the front was very nice! read more

Terrible customer service. I'm very surprised by the positive reviews at this place. The person who took my order was an old lady who I'm guessing may be someone in the owner's family. She knew English but was extremely rude and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. And I went during lunch time and this place was completely empty...it makes sense when they don't invest into people who can actually talk even somewhat friendly to customers. I definitely won't repeat and food isn't worthwhile to deal with the awful customer service. I ordered a shawarma sandwich and the sandwich was 90% lettuce and 10% meat. They don't have garlic sauce either which is very important in Mediterranean food in my opinion. read more

Unfortunately the food is good. The concern is that they decide when to serve. To go orders are not welcomed. If you work around the location, they refuse. When you arrive with a confirmed order, they are significantly late. Too bad, because the food is good , but often late and missing items. Shux! read more

Holy moly! We went to Pita House last night. We actually had not been in quite sometime due to the pandemic. What were we thinking!? This place is amazing, delicious and authentic!

Pita House - Chicken shawarma, Greek salad and baba ghanoush. AMAZING! - Greek Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The food is amazing especially the baba ganoush and hummus. It's really pricey all together easily can be $40 for one person with sides. I think it's worth the supporting a family own business and experience. read more

We had high hopes after reading all of the good reviews. I did a phone order and picked up food. It was ready on time. When I got home to unpack our food I noticed all of the food containers were greasy on the outside. I wanted a mix of gyros meat of lamb and beef. I was told this wasn't an option but I could order extra meat so I did this. I ordered three sperate dinners for two adults so I would have left overs for lunch. The big disappointment was the lack of meat. I understand prices are up. I paid over $60 for rice, salad and very small portions of meat. We ordered Chicken Shawarma, Gyro deluxe with extra meat and Gyro combo lamb. The lack of a reasonable portion of meat was unacceptable. I will not be back again. If you meat prices go up then charge more for your dishes don't just load up with salad and rice. read more
