This place is great, staff is so friendly and food is great even if you aren't really into the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle there's tons of options. Dropping a star because literally every time we come they mess up one of our orders but they do fix it and are nice about it. read more

Making a change can be difficult when trying to eat healthy...well Pita Jungle you are an answer to my prayers. Compliments to the staff Randi she was very helpful and to to the chefs that prepares our meal. My husband usually adds salt or pepper or hot sauce when we eat our and different places and for once he didn't add a thing. That should tell you a lot. Thank you for an awesome meal!!! read more

Eight of my classmates and I (including our visiting Professor) came to eat here. Since our visiting professor is from the San Francisco (Ultimate Foodie City) we wanted to make sure we picked something delicious. We were recommended to come here by 2 of our classmates and absolutely loved the dishes! During happy hour we chose a couple tapas: falafel ($1), shrimp, scallops, cheese, hummus (DELISH), and a few things. Such a great price! I shared the spicy chicken wrap and the chicken shawarma with a friend. It was sooo goood! Very flavorful (especially on my sick taste buds). read more

I really like having a pita jungle close to my house! I ate here last night for dinner, and it was tasty as always. I ordered my 'usual' pita, the gyro. yummy! Service was wonderful. My server was kind, and recommended a few things to try that were made with gyro meat, after I told him that I don't think I mix it up enough sometimes. They have a seperate bar area here, and its off to the side. Seating is open, spacious, clean and looks like all the other pita jungles that I have been too. Tasty as always! read more

We discovered Pita Jungle when our daughter gave us a newspaper article that discussed the best places for vegan/vegetarian dining in the Phoenix area. Pita Jungle was on the list and since it was near our hotel, we decided to give it a try. It's not strictly a vegan/vegetarian restaurant---it does serve entrees with meat, chicken and fish. Upon first entering, we noticed that the decor was nothing to write home about. However, we feel that doesn't matter if the food is good. We were greeted by our server who told us to pick a table and she would bring us some menus. She was very friendly and helpful. In fact, she talked us through the menu---even making some suggestions. Surprisingly, despite the restaurant's name, she suggested not ordering a pita sandwich because---as she put it---you can get pita sandwiches in many other places. She also warned us that their entree portions were huge. We decided to go with two of her recommendations. I ordered the Lavosh Sharwarma Wrap and my husband ordered the Lentil Fatoosh Salad. About the Lavosh Sharwarma Wrap---Lavosh is sometimes called Armenian cracker bread and comes in a crisp or soft version. This wrap had the soft version which still had a cracker like consistency. It was very tasty---the chicken was moist and flavorful, the grilled vegetables (tomatoes and onions) were well prepared and complimented the chicken quite well. However, the garlic sauce which had a mayonnaise look and consistency was on the bland side. This sandwich comes with a Greek salad. I asked the waitress if I could get the salad without Feta Cheese since I'm not a fan. She said that was OK. The salad had lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers and Kalamata olives that had pits in them. The dressing was a lemon vinaigrette. All in all a great meal. And, yes, it was quite filling. I ended up bringing half the sandwich to our daughter! About the Lentil Fatoosh Salad. This consists of lentils and rice with carmelized onions over mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, pita chips and lemon vinaigrette. My husband---much to his suprise---really enjoyed it. I tasted it and agreed with him. The flavors melded very well together. Again, he also couldn't eat it all and our daughter got some of that! When we asked our waitress for boxes, she said, basically, "See? I told you it was a lot of food!" To drink, I had their freshly made lemonade and it was very refreshing---not too tart yet not too sweet---and refills were free! My husband had an orange flavored Pellegrino water. He was quite surprised to see that on the beverage menu! It's too bad we're not planning any more Arizona trips as our daughter is moving or we certainly would return to this Pita Jungle! read more

I've written reviews for various other Pita Jungle locations and my opinion of this one mostly echoes those that came before it. Good food, big portions, good prices. I finally got around to checking out this location and it has now replaced the Apache location as my PJ of choice. I like the setup here, and the staff is a bit more friendly and laid back. One thing that people don't talk about much is PJ's happy hour, which has awful hours, but is a total STEAL. Check out my pics for some examples from the small plates / tapas menu. Happy Hour goes from 3pm-5:30pm during the week (perfect excuse to ditch work early!) and then Reverse Happy Hour is every night from 9-10pm. Everything is $3 and under. The hummus trio for only a buck is a sure bet. It's a good amount for the price. All the other dips are $1 too, including baba ganoosh, tzatziki, and garlic dip. You get a half a pita bread with each. It's not really enough pita for the amount of dip, but I never miss it since I am busy devouring the other items like the falafel. For $2 you get 2 good sized falafel and if you are like me you can scoop up the rest of your hummus with the falafel pieces for some hardcore chickpea on chickpea action. The scallops ($3 for 2) are another winner for me. Served in a creamy curry sauce, I could easily down 2 or 3 orders of them alone. Other seafood selections include shrimp and mussels. The sole meat choice on the menu is the Garlic Lemon Chicken with pine nuts. It's not my favorite. The portion is small and I find it overseasoned, though they are generous with the pine nuts. One minor disappointment for me is the lack of vegetable dishes on the tapas menu. There is the mozzarella with tomato, but it's only one slice of each. Then the mushrooms which of course are not really a veggie. I'd like to see maybe a roasted peppers & eggplant dish, or something along those lines. Beers are $2-$3 a bottle during happy hour, and house cabernet or chardonnay will run you $3 a glass. So bring a group and get one of everything on the tapas menu, it will only run you $25! Then drink, and be merry :) read more

Good food and good service, really appreciate places like this and the people who work there

Food was great and my server Jessica was awesome and attentive! Thank you for the great tasting food and service

Pita Jungle is my gold standard for Mediterranean food. Sure, it's more fusion than authentic, but the food is amazing, the portions are huge, and the prices are fantastic. Every single time I come here, I get the Hummus with Chicken. They make hands down the best hummus I've ever had. It's smooth, creamy, with just the right balance of tahini, garlic, and garbanzo beans. They serve it with delicious hot, chewy pitas, and top it with a whole lot of roasted, spiced chicken and pine nuts. Outstanding. Their other obvious Greek choices are damn good as well. The baba ganoosh is beautifully roasted and mashed, with just a bit of spiciness to it. The falafel is perfectly fried, without being burned or soggy, and richly flavored with cumin and chickpeas. The taboule is absolutely stellar and brightly flavored with parsley and lemon. The pizzas and pita wraps are all pretty large, especially for the price. They offer a fair diversity of pre-arranged combos: everything from a philly cheesesteak pita (for the less adventurous) to a chipotle chicken lavosh pizza. There are salads and pastas as well, also presenting a mix of Mediterranean cuisine with more familiar flavors. Personally, I love the pizzas and end up ordering one about every time I go, my favorite being the lavosh pizza. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. Everything is fresh, healthy, delicious, and enormous. Even the daily specials have nearly always been wonderful (barring a poorly executed attempt at Tikka Masala). The wide diversity of the menu means that even people who don't care for Greek food will be able to find something enjoyable. But, the high quality of food also means those people may end up changing their minds. read more

Pita Jungle is always consistent in their food and service. We always leave full and happy and there is something for everybody. We showed up with a party of 9, celebrating a school ceremony. We were sat right away and our server Jeremy rocked it out... shared plates, appetizers, constant refills and dessert. He was so patient and accommodating. The salads are huge, my favorite is the Greek with Chicken, the hummus is always a good choice, LOVE the cauliflower in tahini, my daughter loved the spinach quesadilla, the wraps are amazing and the kids menu is perfect and kids like being able to build their plates. Always 5 stars :) read more

I am usually very pleased with this eatery, but not so much today. The food was flavorful, it was the cost vs value that surprised me. On the menu the photo of the Kafka beef pizza shows a generous square pizza loaded with ingredients. What I received were what amounted to 2 taco sized discs with very meager toppings. On one half of one disc there wasn't any meat, which is a shame because what little bit of meat there was tasted delicious. And another half was all tomatoes with about a teaspoon of meat. The cost, $14.99, was outrageous for what the pizza consisted of. Adding to the irritation, I had to have a salad afterward as the pizza (or lack of it) left me hungry. So someone contacted me and asked me to contact them offline. That was days ago!! Is anyone going to contact me?? read more

I really liked the interior designing of this place. There were many displays of artwork by a variety of artists that gives a kinda rustic but modern feeling. I got the Mediterranean chicken roasted shawarma (mainly cause the name was funny) and it was the perfect portion. There was an equal amount of everything so no flavor of one ingredient like the onion, tomato, or chicken overpowered the other. It was tasty meal overall. Cant exactly pinpoint why but there wasnt nothing to complain about it. The type of full I got from is was a very healthy one in that I didnt feel regretful of my decisions like I would with fries or ramen. My friend got the baba ganoosh (another funny sounding name) and the eggplant sauce that it came complemented my shawarma well so if you ever go to pita jungle, get a friend to order the baba ganoosh and swipe their sauce! (theres a lot so dont feel guilty) read more

I had left a five-star rating for this specific Pita Jungle, but now need to take away a few stars. The food is still awesome, and the servers are nice, helpful, and courteous... but the location is DIRTY. They desperately need to repaint. The walls have coloring on them, cracked paint, and what looks like food stuck to the walls. It's gross, and I avoid this location now, to go to the one in Dana Park, which is much (aesthetically/hygienically) cleaner. Don't get me wrong - the staff are awesome, the bartender is great, and I've always had amazing food here. It's just that they definitely need to clean up the place a bit. I'd happily bump this back up to a four or five star if they do so. They also have music on Sunday nights, usually an acoustic small band or solo artist. Nice touch to get people in -- but a repaint would work wonders. read more

There are many Mediterranean restaurants, but this is one of my favorites. The wood-fired chicken and salmon are fire, and no one else has crispy seasoned pita chips, not to mention the service is terrific and attentive. Don't even get me started on the cilantro jalapeno hummus! This location is a gem in the area. read more

I placed a take out order. I couldn't decide to weather go with my favorite mahi-mahi with a jalapeno or try a new item on their menu the Ahi tuna with jalapeno hummus. I decided to venture out and go with Ahi. I was told it would take about 15 minutes for my food to be ready when I got there and had only been 10 and it was. Very fast service! The tuna had a real nice Smoky flavor and it was perfectly and Grill on the outside with the middle raw yumii ! So much flavor and definitely added to that. Mahi-mahi still my favorite though. read more

So it was a late weekday night, and it had started.. my hanger. That's right, I was hangry (hungry and angry). I thought about what I was craving, you read that right, I choose my food off of cravings, and all I wanted in my life was the Mahi Mahi served over hummus from Pita Jungle. It comes with these pita chips that are to die for and makes for a fun twist on nachos, if you eat it like I do. I ordered my meal using yelp, I think it's officially grub hub, and it said it'd be ready in 20-30 minutes. I didn't have that kind of time so I headed over the moment I ordered to be there when it was ready. I had never been to this particular Pita Jungle location and didn't expect it to be any different than the others in Tempe and Scottsdale that I had been. It took me just under 10 minutes to get there. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised with how quaint and welcoming the environment and space felt.. there was no room for me to show my hanger once I got inside. The gentleman at the bar was quick to help me and low and behold my food was ready!! This may seem like a simple experience, and that's because it was! There is beauty in simplicity - I was so hungry I would've been deeply upset at any upset in my expectations, and they met my expectations perfectly. Thank you! Also, I LOVE the art on the walls in the restaurant right now, I've been seriously considering going back just to shop the paintings haha! read more

Just ordered 2 medeteranian salads and one grilled chicken salad. Should have labeled the grilled chicken the burnt chicken salad. Could only eat half the chicken on my salad. The mediterranean turned out good. Paid $39 for takeout and feel let down since the 'grilled chicken' is what got me to order. Maybe next time it will be cooked right, or at least someone will notice if black chicken is going out. read more

I'm impressed! I was visiting Phoenix, and a friend recommended grabbing lunch here. I ordered the seared ahi, and it was really, REALLY good! I was amazed that one could get seafood that good at a Mediterranean establishment, in the middle of the desert. The place was very crowded, which is testament tot he quality of the food. I will definitely return to Pita Jungle the next time I'm in Phoenix. read more

Pita Jungle - Mediterranean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Honestly, the service at this Pita Jungle is the worst. There's always something wrong. (And yet, we keep coming back). The first bad experience was when we asked to move tables because ours was dirty. The server audibly sighed and acted as if it was a huge hassle. The second bad experience was when they brought us the wrong food. Bringing chicken to my vegan friend never ends up well for him or for the wait staff who has to bear the brunt of his fury. The third bad experience happened on the last visit. Dirty cups. Gross. The food is the same as other locations. Mostly delicious, but often the food is inconsistent. The potatoes are usually tasty, but always come out to varying degrees of doneness. Same with the lentil soup, sometimes it's thick, sometimes its thin. I like the Mediterannean Platter and they get kudos for allowing substitutes (since I don't like their baba ghanoush. read more

We had our sons 21st Birthday party and couldn't ask for better service and hospitality. Ryan was our bartender and provided exceptional service and we had an amazing time.

The black bean chipotle burger is my favorite thing on the menu to order (because I'm fake healthy) the chicken Shawarma is also a house favorite I always recommend that for first timers. Pita jungle is nestling ground for hipster food junkies and the atmosphere reflects that. It's s great place for groups and late night dates for two. Super chill vibe and music is always A-1. read more

Sure, another 5 stars...but, totally deserved. I usually wind up getting the same dish but today I asked my server, Nate, to surprise me with a wrap of his choice. He did not disappoint! It was a veggie wrap with hummus and chicken added and it was unbelievably good. First of all, it was MASSIVE--could only eat half. The vegetables were warm and super flavorful and the chicken and hummus were a nice addition. Great experience!! Thanks for the recommendation, Nate! read more

I came in the other day I think Thursday, and it was a great experience, Heather was my server and she was amazing very kind and attentive and knowledgeable, the experience was great food was good as well!! Their wood fired chicken is DELICIOUS! read more

Another great experience at Pita Jungle! I've been here many times, but hadn't written a review until today. We started off with a mix plate of roasted bell pepper hummus, jalapeno/cilantro hummus and baba ganoosh. It came with two pitas and all three were very tasty! Next up was the broiled chicken salad. Very tasty and the lemon vinaigrette dressing was delicious! My friend tried the lavosh shawarma warp and enjoyed it very much. The garlic sauce makes that wrap! Our server, Skyler was excellent as well. Everything just when you expected it. Made many suggestions that applied to what we were ordering. Genuinely gave a damn about what he was doing. Last but not least, offered up "to-go" drinks at the end of our meal. Not in any way trying to get us to leave, just a nice touch before leaving. Other things that may or may not matter to anyone reading this: It has a nice patio and open floor plan inside. Keep in mind it's directly across the street from Mesa Community College. I notice all different kinds of people when dining here. It adds to the whole experience for me. I'm not hung up on clothing choices or body art my server(s) wear, as long as they are doing a great job. Will I continue to go here? Absolutely! read more

I love Pita Jungle chains, which are located throughout the city! The food is sooo good (hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoo, gambos con ajo, garlic dip, mussels, etc, etc) & they have bomb happy - reverse happy - hour specials! They have good margaritas $2 & you can try just about all the starters between $2-$3. The food was good but my drink...I didn't like the fact that I ordered a pitamosa & my waitress brought it to me w. a bug in it. & I didn't like I had to sit there for like 10 mins for her to come back & me have to tell her to take it back. Also, I noticed the bartender sitting there just talking before bringing "my" drink to another table & walking to the kitchen to sit it down & wait for my waitress to bring it to me.?. They were like confused in there & need to step their game up becos other Pita's I have been to have been a lil' bit better in experience. But, the chefs, I love! They have flavor! Bomb spot for Vegan & Mediterranean lovers. Would love some WIFI, would be nice to add there. read more

One of my favorites as chain restaurants go. I have never been to this location and absolutely loved it. All of the staff was friendly and welcoming immediately walking in the door. I came about 3ish on a weekday so it wasn't packed. Had my usual dish Mediterranean Chicken Shwarma Bowl. At this location it was slightly different. It had a ring of garlic sauce (which I can't get enough of) surrounding the whole dish. I ate every morsel! Left happy, satiated and looking forward to my next visit! read more

Once upon a time in the neighborhood, we wanted pita jungle, happy hour sounded good. Randi was our server. She treated us well (also she was fine as hell). She took care of us and all of our needs. She brought back this food with lightening speed. The food was great, the service was better. I just had to make this formal letter. Thanks randi.. for your help at the jungle. We will always come here when our stomachs start to rumble. read more

I was in the mood for a salad. Mediterranean salad is delicious! Very fresh ingredients. The few things I ordered on the side, actually came in the side (most places usually ignore that request) My husband got the salmon salad, very good as well. Carrie even told us the salmon would take a little longer. Of course we had to get the hummus, while we waited. The best original hummus I've had in a long time. The staff was friendly and Carrie our server was amazing. The manager was very kind and was working side by side with his staff. Oh yeah! The carrot cake is a must get. Definitely going back for more. read more

I want to give Kevin credit for being responsive on Father's Day. I don't want to be unfair. That said, there will be no further positive comments on this update. Per his request, I emailed Kevin my phone number and he quickly called me. The conversation wasn't exactly satisfying. I was told that the on site manager didn't realize how unhappy I was because "I seemed fine" - I explained that I wasn't going to lose my cool in front of my wife, my aunt, and my six month old. I was told I should have given the on site manager the chance to fully make things right - I explained that I didn't trust him at all once he acknowledged he saw us being neglected but didn't intervene until we complained. We discussed the expired coupons. I pointed out that it's cool they'd be willing to honor them, but it's halfway through 2018 (they've had time to print new ones) AND he missed multiple times that there was no reason for me to go back to that Pita Jungle because it's halfway across town. He told me multiple times that the on site manager was a good manager - glad he defends his employees, but that wasn't my experience, unfortunately. He then explained the corporate structure, and why I wasn't going to be getting anything other than I'd already gotten - which made me question why we got onto the phone together to begin with. He ended the call by saying he would see what else he could do. He emailed me shortly later asking for my address, and saying he'd have non-location-specific gift cards mailed to me. It's been two weeks, and I haven't seen them. How long do I have to wait? read more

Pita jungle was my first stop after landing in Phoenix from Alaska. I moved out of Phoenix over 10 years ago but Pita Jungle is just as good as I remember it. I make my own felafel at home and am very picky about it but Pita Jungle's recipe is far superior to my own. Shout out to our server Randy, (or maybe Randi?) for recommending the Guava lemonade. We were perfectly attended to by Randy as well. I definitely hope to eat here again before I fly back home. read more
