I was very happy to see that a Pita Jungle opened up in Gilbert, I had previously been to the ones in Tempe and Chandler and they are all good just like this one, The food is very good, the portions just right. Something for everyone, I have not tried everything out yet, but the falafel and chicken shwarma wrap were excellent. Hummus is good, baba ganoosh is OK. I will try to go and try something new each time so I can review those items too later on. The service is what I call 'European', meaning, they do their job, they do it speedily and satisfactorily , but if you expect a big smile and every five minute of someone saying "is everything OK?" you might be disppointed. They do it, but not overdo it. I personally prefer this myself, but others might not. read more

!!!-------------------SUPER SUPER YUMMY---------------------------!!! This review is for my first visit to the pita Jungle on May 29, 2013 Noteworthy Note: My family and I had been to Pita Jungle one time before this on a Sunday afternoon, and the place was so packed that people were sitting outside to get a table and the wait was like 30 minutes, so we left to go somewhere faster that day, but not before taking in the amazing scent-sations wafting in from the kitchen. Plus one knows that of there is such a wait, the food has got to be worth it! So, we were eager to go back a few days later, at the just-before-dinner-crowd hour, like say 4ish Pm. The interior is trendy and updated, great artwork, lighting and overall ambiance. The staff was alert, friendly and helpful knowing that we were 1st timers. Being that it was our 1st time we ate at pita jungle (but not our 1st time eating greek) we wanted to taste a bit of everything to get acquainted with what they had so we ordered: --------------- Our Apps: --------------- The Mediterranean Platter Hummus, baba ganoosh, tzatziki, taboule, feta cheese, dolmades, falafel and green beans with two pitas. (we figured we could taste several of the apps this way) + we knew we wanted lots of stuffed grape leaves so we also got an extra order of the Dolmades All of the dishes served on the Mediterranean platter were beyond my expectations. The Hummus was smooth and fresh. You could really taste the tahini which I find lacking in so many Hummus dishes Ive tried before. The baba ganoosh was my husbands favorite, it was lemony, savory and well textured. The taboule was a great pallet cleanser, with the fresh chopped parsley (I didnt taste mint) cucumbers and tomato, and quite refreshing on a hot Phoenix afternoon. The tzatziki was both creamy and also refreshing. The green beans were cool and not overly crisp, yet just the right amount of bite and so they paired well , contrasting texturally with the rest of the plate. The pitas were warm, soft and wonderfully tasty. (The reason we aren't giving 5 stars instead of 4 enters here) We asked The Waitress who came to ask if everything was ok, if she would bring us an extra order of the Pita Bread , because there was still so much Hummus and baba ganoosh we still wanted to eat on the platter and between the Three of us the 2 pitas didn't last long enough , But sadly she didn't remember to ever bring them. SADFACE. WANT. Dolmades Six grape leaves stuffed with rice, tomatoes, onions and parsley, cooked in olive oil and lemon juice. The taste was amazing! These Should be called "Dolemites" (google that) not dolmades because just like Dolemite they were super pimp smooth , kicked that much booty and made the ladies feel sooo satisfied. Im not used to having Stuffed grape leaves (Dolmades) with tomato in them, & when I read that in the description, I was sort of like (*_*)? But The fist taste was just like you would want them, The leaves were not overcooked but rather perfectly cooked, soft but with just the right amount of tooth. The stuffing was delicious, light and lemony. You could tell they were hand-rolled and handmade that day, not out of some food service package. The olive oil was richly fragrant, but not overwhelming. --------------- Our Entrees: --------------- 2 Gyro's Broiled beef & lamb marinated with spices and herbs, served in a Greek pita with mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, pickles and tzatziki. & 1 Falafel Pita Crispy croquettes of chickpeas in a regular pita with cilantro and spices, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions, pickles and tahini. Again Very Satisfying Quality, and taste + the Prices are crazy affordable for such great quality food. The Pitas are so good, the both Falafel and the Beef / lamb were savory and satisfying, while the fresh vegetables and pickles were crisp and spot on fresh! --------------- Our Dessert: --------------- Baklava/Baklawa Served rolled with crispy light layers of phyllo pastry filled with chopped nuts , sweetened with Honey and garnished with crushed bright green pistachio nuts. I could eat this everyday and NEVER get bored or tired of it, BEST DESSERT EVER!! My overall Impression was WOW. The prices were great, the quality was astonishingly good the staff was 4 out of 5, I will definitely be making this a regular place to go and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something to wake up your taste buds , and escape the ordinary fare. read more

The food is good and the atmosphere fits the idea of their food, I have to say though I always pick up and never really dine in, their staff (females in particular at this location) are not exactly all that friendly. I've often come to pay and the girl is standing there on the phone, does not say hello, or hold on to anyone they simply look at you, turn around and walk away, then someone else realizing I am standing there and comes to assist. This happens more than it should, I go out often and this is just hands down poor service/poor management. I attend Pita Jungle carry out at least once per two weeks, I've lived in Gilbert for over 10 years, that's plenty of service and in the last 1-2 years I've used this location you'd think it would change, but does not. Food is pretty good, services are decent, often I feel I get more from other locations (When I eat there with my parents they will only eat the Dobson location because they believe the Williamsfield one does not give as large of portions, and I have to tend to agree). I've often during carry out received a very small amount of hummus compared to what I receive at the Dobson location. Dobson's service carry out or dining in is also exceedingly more professional and friendly. read more

Usually we have a splendid time here at pita jungle gilbert but tonight I didn't think I was in the delicious, some may say exquisite dine in eatery I was at a few short months ago. I used to think the flavors were to die for and you could eat your hands after finishing a meal but this time it was quite the opposite. I'm disappointed to say the food was tasteless and the service was useless. After a harmless complain our waitress seemed to blow off what we had to say. Not to mention it is no longer a professional restaurant but a teen hang out spot for the workers. Seems to me that they have a better time talking to eachother than listening to what the costumer has to say. The food was also not up to par. Everything seemed dry and not how a cooperate franchise should taste. I say save your money and go else where. read more

First off, 1 star off for the Lavosh. I had the Lavosh shawarma wrap, it was super tasty, but after eating it, it felt like I had eaten an entire box of Captain Crunch aka the world's sharpest cereal, and the roof of my mouth cursed at me. Really. The Spanakopita (Spinach/feta phyllo concoction) and the hummus were yummskis. reasonably priced, friendly staffed, delicious fewd. Will def return read more

Went to meet up with some family on the East side of town this weekend. I told them I had some diet restrictions and they suggested Pita Jungle, which I was stoked on as I love me some PJ! I didn't know they had expanded that far east! It was a Friday night and the place was hopping! We were seated pretty quickly and our waiter was on point all night! The food came out a tad slow, but it was all great and everyone enjoyed their meals. read more

I've never had a pita with a pickle in it before, but I like it! Awesome kid's menu - the little ones can choose one each of a veggie, a grain, a protein, and a fruit for $4.99. And their meal includes a drink. Last time I went, I mentioned to the waitress that I didn't want to order a whole kid's meal for my daughter and that I was considering just getting a side of something for her, and the waitress informed me that I could order anything off of the kid's menu a la carte. Sweet! The place is packed at lunch time, but the wait is not usually too long. The food and friendly service are worth it. read more

One of my all Time favorites. Clean healthy eating on a whim ! Love the different art the host in the restaurants around town . Cilantro jalapeño hummus with chicken add cucumbers is my jam ! read more

The only thing louder than the deep cuts of Arcade Fire blaring and the bad paintings on the walls is the screech of the metal chairs scraping across the concrete floor. Too loud for anything but takeout. Though the staff may be friendly, the place is virtually as inhospitable as an actual jungle. read more

Good food, good service. I even got a nutrition menu when I asked for it (the nutrition info is available on their web site but it is not very easy to read on the smart phone screen). I wish they has some options for health conscious people and those items were listed in a separate section (say under 500 calories, or 700 calories). read more

The pitas and hummus here are very good here which is why we go here when we do. Most the time we just go for a snack, since it is very close to us. As stated by Earl's review the ambiance is a little unwelcoming. We also notice the employee's don't like us to just have pitas and hummus, it seems like we are waisting their time. The drink selection could be better, they have few beers and those that they do have are only in bottles. So this would not be a good place for a Happy Hour. Overall the food is good, employees can be a pain sometimes, and a bad beer selection. Ill go back when I feel the need for some pitas. read more

This Pita Jungle is definitely most intimate location of theirs I have visited. It has the typical Pita Jungle feel with brick walls covered in local art, high ceilings, a cool metal tree sculpture and candlelit tables. The lobby is a tad cramped when it gets busy, but there is adequate seating and the wait isn't too crazy. After you're seating you'll find the staff to be attentive, filling your glass before it's empty and making sure you're enjoying your meal. The food is, as one can expect from the Pita Jungle establishments, always fresh tasting and full of flavor. From their delicious wood fired pizzas, large pitas and salads, you really can't go wrong here. They also have a nice selection of wines, which are usually pretty good. Overall, I've always had a nice evening here, leaving satisfied and filled, without too light of a wallet. read more

Tried this Pita Jungle a little over a month ago. Usually not into chains, but this place was pretty good. Good food, good service, and great music and atmosphere. We had Spanokopita, I had a gyro, and my daughter had a chicken pizza. Spanokopita was good, gyro could've used a touch more meat, and the pizza was good. Overall: affordable, good place to grab a fresh tasting bite with Mediterranean flare! read more

Our waiter was very nice, everything was clean. That is it for the good stuff. There was nowhere to stand while we waited for a table. It took me a couple of minutes to get one of the bartender girls to get us some menus to look at. My husband ordered the "wood-fired chicken" off of the specials menu. It was covered in a lot of cilantro (not in the description) and he hates cilantro. i also ordered from the specials menus and got the "ginger stir-fry". It was so salty that i couldn't eat it. Since it was for a birthday, i just tried to pick out the vegetables that weren't as bad. My father-in-law got a side of the "garlic new potatoes". He didn't complain, but half of them were burnt, and the rest looked okay; like divided down the middle. And the water tasted like tap water. Couldn't even wash the the salty noodles down with a drink. While the open kitchen seemed like it would make it feel like all the cooking was fresh, it was piled with enormous stacks of plastic to-go containers, just like the hostess station. weird. read more

Love this place, they have the best food selection and healthy too! We are definitely coming back.

Cant go wrong with Pita Jungle!! Love the vegetarian options every time! I had the Veggie Penne salad, add a little hot sauce and it was wonderful. Daughter had a salad that had hummus around the edges and it was great too!! Been to many Pita Jungle locations over the years and its always the same great food and service. read more

Pros: Healthy options, yummy hummus, great tea selections and sriracha sauce (ok, not unique to Pita Jungle, but they will bring you the whole bottle if you ask for some). I usually get the mahi mahi, which is very good, but I haven't ever had anything here that I didn't like. Cons: Or really just "con" is the service. Like other yelpers have said, there is something off about the service. The servers are usually fast and attentive, but I don't think I have ever had one actually smile at me. It's not that they are unfriendly, I guess unaffected would be the word to describe their demeanor. Pretty sure the place could catch on fire and the servers would just shrug. Overall, the food is tasty and the service is good enough for me to keep going back. read more

I called in an order tonight for a pesto lavish turkey wrap and spicy chicken wrap. When I got it home I realized that I did not get the turkey lavish wrap but something different and my boyfriend's spicy chicken wrap was a complete mess. Getting an order correct is very important especially if people are picking it up to go and won't realize they have the wrong thing until they are already home. Very frustrating. We won't be back. read more

Pita Jungle - Spicy chicken "wrap" - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Fast service and good food. I ordered the Falafel with potatoes. Both were very good.

We were loyal customers for many many years. We became disappointed when they started cutting back on take out portion sizes and lost quality consistency. A better choice in our opinion & within driving distance... The Phoenicia Cafe in Gilbert - near the Civic Center. The Phoenicia Cafe is Authentic, Consistent, & The Staff is Very Friendly. Perhaps the Pita Jungle chain just grew too large to care. The Phoenicia Cafe has only 2 locations and our patronage still matters to them. read more

Service was prompt, food was Delish, ambiance was perfect for two. I would definitely go back. We ordered the red pepper hummus, chicken puttanesca & the philly steak pita. Everything was very fresh and full of flavor. Next time I'll make sure to order the puttanesca without capers as I don't care for the flavor that much. The waitress was very attentive and overall our experience was wonderful. Adding this to the list of date night spots. read more

WOW, WHAT A PLACE!!! These are the types of fresh restaurants I am dying for here in Ohio. If you make it out to Arizona or California, look up nearby locations of Pita Jungle. Relaxed environment, friendly staff, happy hour specials on wine, beer and appetizers, and FRESH ingredients. The pita wraps were tasty and big; the homemade hummus was a delight, especially the cilantro jalapeno; and even my first try of lentil soup was memorable. Also this was the only restaurant during my 5 days in AZ that I just HAD to return to for seconds. read more

I love Pita Jungle! I have been here several times and never disappointed. As an appetizer I love the Spanikopita and highly recommend it. I also recommend the hummus, fresh and delicious. I have a hard time choosing an entree because they have so many good options and I am a vegetarian so having options is fantastic. I particularly like their falafel hot pita. Getting some of the yogurt sauce on the side makes it even better! Good portions. I can't wait to try their pizza's as they sound fabulous. I love their iced teas as well, I don't even have to add sweetener even though they seem to be unsweetened. What I also like is they give you the option to take a refill in a to go cup! I never had a problem with the service at all and it is very reasonably priced! They have a kids menu also for those who need it. read more

Food is healthy and delicious. Staff is fast and friendly. We love coming here. Our favorites are the chicken pasta and the fish salad with strawberries and pineapple! read more

Pita Jungle - To go ordering is awesome! And this window is great. I don't even have to go inside. - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I have been to another one and feel in love with the falafel I had. I ordered and when I took my first bite I was a bit disappointed. Although good, the bread was hard around the edges and tasted a bit stale. It wasn't hot or warm but room temperature and did I mention stale tasting. The employees don't look happy or that they care to be there. My guy waiter was nice enough but I felt a bit of a disconnect with the whole environment. I will go back to the one in Mesa but will pass on this one. read more

Pita Jungle - Ganoose - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I love this place. The service is always great and the food is healthy and so tasty. I can't get enough of the garlic portobello flatbread pizza and the falafel platter. They're really fast with to-go orders, but when I can, I love dining in. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of the restaurants around Seattle (where I moved from). Such great staff. They're all friendly and laid-back. Really makes me feel comfortable. read more

Don't be afraid to try new things! Lentil fetoosh plus chicken is amazing with fried pita chips! The iced green tea is spectacular! My husband loves the Mahi Mahi and the chicken shawarma. The gyros are great! So is the hummus plate. Pretty good for a date! Weekdays get there before 8! read more

Pita Jungle - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I have been four times and I will not stop. I have been to three locations and they all rocked. I'm gonna paste this same review to all three. These are clean restaurants with fun menus. You can eat healthy. They serve vegetables and fruit. They plate well. The food is attractive. I have tried 8 menu items and they were all fantastic. Good signs. read more

Is 11 minutes and 32 seconds an acceptable time to sit on hold? I tried to order so I could pick it up and take home. They still had me on hold when I pulled up. I showed the guy at the order/pickup window. He apologized and promptly asked what I wanted to order. I'm not one of those people that looks for anything I can come up with in order to get a discount or free food. However, an offer to provide one of those for my wait would of been a nice offer. This is my first time and depending on how the food tastes, may be my last. read more

Pita Jungle - On hold time... - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I am a big fan of Pita Jungle. I visited the Tempe location while attending ASU and was extremely happy when the Gilbert location opened. The food is great, the servers are attentive, and there are always great pieces of art work on the walls. If you have yet to visit, I recommend the Jalapeno Cilantro or Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus. If you want to try both, be sure to ask for half n' half and ask the server for the Greek pita or cucumber slices. There is one downside to the restaurant and that is the location on a busy Friday, Saturday, or any other busy night. Park away from the entrance so you are not circling for a spot and/or waiting to be seated. read more

Really healthy and extensive menu. Great selection and everything was delicious. Appetizer platter, kids meals, macro plate. Yum! Service was quick and helpful. Good lunch destination. read more

Pita Jungle - Kids' meals were yummy and healthy! - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Well, we used to love this location but over the last 2 years the food, service, and quality have really gone down hill. Went there a few days ago and had a coupon for a free dip (for bday), it was an act of congress to get what we wanted - maybe new staff, don't know. We will not be returning to this location. Shame... miss the beginning years when it was just the Tempe location (before that one went to crap too). read more

I know it's a pita place but the Fresh Salmon plate is amazing. Many restaurants have this dish but this is one of the best I've had. My only complaint is that it's busy and there can be a wait at lunch time but that's a sign of a good restaurant. read more

My favorite restaurant in Gilbert. (Tied with Joe's Farm Grill) :) I'm vegetarian and could eat at this place literally every day. The cilantro hummus is everyone's favorite, but I also highly recommend their cauliflower w/tahini, kids meals (my son LOVES mixing it up with the proteins, veggies, and starched choices), their seasonal coconut curry soup (I died and went to taste bud heaven), and their green iced tea. Honestly, EVERYTHING is delicious here. They also always have local art for sale displayed on the wall, everyone is friendly, and it's a great place to just go and chill. read more

Pita Jungle - Loving his kid's meal... And cilantro hummus on everything. - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I really do enjoy this place (: i will keep it pretty simple. I always get some chicken shwarma-warmanarma whatever the kitchy name is, basically, i order grilled chicken, tomatoe, and lettuce in a pita. Always comes out warm & fresh. I find it very good, the chicken (for my taste) does not need fancy sauces. Although, since i nix many of the other items that it comes with, i do feel sliightly overcharged, however, i reaize i have 'customized' their menu. P: the inside is clean, the servers are nice. I cannot complain, they do their job. I reccomend this place for a nice lunch, early dinner. We have frequented this place after weightlifting seshs. read more

How can you not love pita jungle!? Me and my hubs get the exact same thing. Always. It's almost like when I'm craving my philly chicken pita and he's craving chicken tiki Marsala.. we say let's get pita! They are always friendly and quick as well. I've learned to ask for my pita open face because I always open and eat it more like a flat bread and they actually put more peppers and cheese! Winning! read more

We ordered delivery. This is the falafel "ball"? This dried-out flat puck? I should've held this up - it's not even a ball, just a flat disk of cardboard. And you actually charged me for this? The rest of our order was pretty decent but @#$#! I don't think I'll order from here again. Wtf? read more

Pita Jungle - Fal-awful. Dried out, flavorless, and not even a ball, just a puck of sawdust. - Mediterranean Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I've enjoyed 3 great meals here. The hummus is as smooth as curry. Their house made black bean burger is a real treat and the spinokapita is unbeatable. I won't frequent this location for a while because every time I go in there it feels like the kitchen isn't being supported by the front of the house. Hostesses and their friends congregate at the front bar area, take seating from customers and have long personal conversations. read more

Loved this place! We went on Saturday at lunch time and we were blown away about the fact that there was a 25-30 min wait. However, we only waited for 10 minutes. They were really good at getting people seated as quickly as possible. Our waitress was supper nice and patient. She was very helpful with things on the menu. We ordered the hummus, vegetable salad, Greek salad and gyro. The food was phenomenal. Only thing I didn't like was the pickles in my gyro. Overall, great atmosphere, food and service. Definitely order the green tea! read more
