So I try to be positive when doing these but I just went by myself to PJ and it took a solid hour to have some salmon. Besides that it took almost 10 min just for me to get a menu and a glass of water. So after waiting 30 min to get the salmon my side salad came out last instead of first which would make sense. So I've been to this location about 6 times but this time it wouldn't let me write you a message separately so unfortunately I had to write a review on here. So I've tried to email you Kevin and your mailbox is full. read more

I've been holding off on this for a while now... I get the exact same thing every time I come here (Mediterranean Chicken Salad w/ no raisins and no roasted peppers). 4/5 times I order to go they get wrong, it always has raisins. And like most normal people.. a raisin will ruin your day. I'm not one to leave bad reviews but this is ridiculous. It's not a complicated order and somehow they still get it wrong every single time. I don't know if it's the person placing the order or the chefs but READ YOUR DAMN TICKET it's not that hard. I'd be scared for anyone that has a serious allergy to anything.... Only gave it 2 stars because their chicken and dressing is always good. read more

Food was great and I love their new seasonal menu! I went with a friend for lunch and I got the nachos and she got the tostada. Service was great and we loved sitting outside! read more

Pita Jungle - Grilled chicken salad - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered to-go yesterday and the entire experience was terrific. Friendly woman took our order and said it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. We were nearby and stopped through sooner & it was ready! Food was fantastic, highly recommend the Macro Platter & hummus trio. Kendall, who was our to go person, was great! Quick with the food, the checkout & she got us all of the sauces/utensils we needed! Pita Jungle rocks! read more

This location is a little out of my way but always nails my to-go order. Pita Jungle is a good choice for eating in also.

So I used to live in Phoenix and regularly visited this location as loved the food and service for at least 6 years. We went to have dinner this weekend and although the wait staff was fantastic and on it, the food had definitely changed and not for the better. What happened to the fresh chicken combo plate. It used to Include garlic green beans and chicken breast cut Into strips. Now garlic green beans are no longer available and the chicken is now served as a whole breast looking suspiciously of frozen quality. The hummus had also changed and now tastes as if it is of commissary quality made using a mass production method. Thinking this may have been a one off we decided to try a new location on 7th street. Found it all to be the same. So it's clear that the corporate desire to franchise the brand has come at the cost of quality and taste. read more

Love this place for Togo orders. Always fast & accurate. If you go for the Pasta salad with chicken add avocado it's super delicious & the lemon olive oil dressjng is TO DIE! For dessert crunchy fresh baklava. read more

This place is right around the corner from my work and the chipotle chicken lavash pizza is as good as it gets. If you plan ahead, you've got lunch and dinner out of one order. Tremendous value in the Arcadia area. Great service and atmosphere even though the tables feel a little close together at times -- for lunch, it's workable. Parking can be tricky, so maybe don't get there right at Noon. Once they build that parking garage (not holding my breath), I'll bump it up to a 5, but right now it's like a 4.5. I would have stopped there, but other yelpers seem to be all worked up about the recent change in the iced tea. Are you high? It's never been better. It's the only time ... the only time ... I've not had to use sweetener in my tea. And somehow the tea's not cloudy like it used to be. I remember the old tea, and I used to just ask for soda instead. No amount of sweetener could fix it. So I don't know if you guys switched from Lipton and now Mr. Lipton and his buddies are all upset it, but please keep the new tea. read more

I've been a fan of Pita Jungle since my ASU days, when I lived down the street from the Apache location. Now I live in the Arcadia area so this is the one we frequent. I haven't noticed a huge difference between the two locations, same great food, same stoned servers. My usual is the Portabello burger. The balsamic marinade they use is fantastic. The presentation is a little messy, but once it hits your lips it's so good. I pass on the new potatoes for steamed spinach and it's pretty amazing. Everyone knows the hummus rocks. I love how they let you split up a small order between the roasted bell pepper and jalapeno cilantro. It's like a little hummus sampler for less than $5. The service can be spotty, especially when it comes to drink refills, but I've surprisingly never had an order come out incorrectly. I normally would not be surprised by this standard service expectation being consistently fulfilled, but I have had some BAKED servers here, so the fact that they can remember my steamed spinach substitution each and every time is kind of impressive. So, good job, stoned servers. Maybe work on the drink thing, though. read more

The husband and I went to Pita Jungle last night at approximately 6:30. I was very hungry, perhaps on the verge of hangry (a dramatic form of hunger) and so we promptly ordered an appetizer ( large hummus trio, to be specific). In my amazement, the large platter was set before me only seconds after I ordered. It was like magic. It was brilliant. It was faster than any fast food service I have ever received. The platter was visually appealing with a green hummus (cilantro), a red hummus (red pepper) and yellow (normal hummus). I also ordered steam vegetables - partly to be healthy, and also partly for additional dipping options. I've never been to a place the supplied a good pita bread to hummus ratio - you always need an extra pita. But, the carrots especially made a good hummus-to-mouth shoveling vehicle. That is the only problem I have with Pita Jungle though, I always have to order an appetizer in order to get full. And, it's not that the serving sizes are too small because the serving plates are large and completely utilized. So, I don't know, it's like how my kitchen spoons always go missing - I don't have an explanation. It's not like they ever leave the house. Giving 5 stars for such a good service. I've been eating at Pita Jungle for years and the food is always good, although I would probably give 4 stars if just on taste alone. But service in seconds? It's hard to beat that. Friendly staff, outdoor seating, and wine help seal the deal. read more

NOTE: I only had take-out, and it was brought to me by my boss. She rules! She got me a hummus/grilled/marinated chicken combo. It has 3 different hummus...es...es (HA!): roasted red pepper, jalapeno and plain ole' hummus. They are sectioned off in the big plastic container, which rules for my OCD, as I don't like my food touching. In the center is a PILE (a total monton!) of grilled chicken. It's got some sort or spicy rub on it, but not too much kick. It had been marinated, too. And tender....I think this is the most tender chicken I have ever had. It made my own tender spots as juicy as the chicken was! I'm not big on pita, so instead she got me a side of cukes. This thing weighs a ton and I've been eating it for 2 hours. I have made a mess in my "Make me Yelp" boyshorts. read more

:::Ring::: Pita Jungle: Hello?! Me: Hi, Can i speak to Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus? Pita Jungle: Hold Please... Cilantro Jalepeno Hummus: Hi, can i help you? Me: I need to tell you something... Im in love with you. CJH: I know... i love you too. Me: Cool... dont tell the Lavosh Shwarma Wrap. I think she'd be jealous of our relationship.

Me: Too soon... ill call you next week. CJH: Prude Me: Spicy bitch CJH: K, love you. Me: You too. :::Click::: The end. read more

The service at this Pita Jungle sucks! Sucks. sucks. sucks. *Sorry for such a LONG review, but really, it's because I want to help you out here. And, It's too bad because the food is absolutely delicious and I love the fun and healthy concept. Two stars here..one for the food and one just because the whole concept of Pita Jungle totally completes me. I keep coming back for the zesty hummus and that oh-so-creamy garlic dip. Heaven! Warm pita bread never tasted so good except when it's from Pita Jungle. And at happy hour, who can beat less than ten bucks for your entire food and drink bill? So what's the problem? I don't know. Ask the servers ...that is..if you can ever find one. I'm a pretty chill customer; if I don't get good service I give the benefit of the doubt and just figure my server likely had a bad day. I'll always give you another chance. But let me tell you what happened on 3 different occasions. I came on separate days; separate times of day; and had different servers each time: First offense: Came in with a group of friends for reverse happy hour on a Friday night. Got seated right away. Took 10 minutes just for a server to come by and get our drinks ordered. No problem, we are a happy crowd just laughing and having a good time. Another ten minutes goes by. Hmmm..getting a bit hangry here. Finally had to hunt down a server just to place our food order. Ugh. We finally get our food...the hangriness is satisfied. So tasty! But now we need refills. After another 10 minutes of hoping a server would check on us; ask us for a refill, clear up the plates - heck anything? Gosh, we start to feel like we are imposing or something. I tell you what, the place was packed and there were only 2 servers. For a Friday night with packed indoor seating plus an outdoor patio I can tell you that this just doesn't add up. Well, at this point we forget about ordering additional dip or drinks; just give us some more pita bread to finish up what we started here and let's get outta here. Waitress tells me Sorry, but we are closing and the kitchen is shut down. Um? Its only like 5 minutes past. And you know what, if you hadn't made us wait 20 minutes just to place our order we could have eaten and had our fill of it like centuries ago. Matter of fact, we could have left the building and gotten out of your busy way exactly 20 minutes ago. I was embarrassed that my dinner party left the place - still hungry and now late for our next adventure. Thanks a lot. Second offense: Just me this time and I popped in for a second chance. Got seated right away. (hey, they got that part down right!) But then the same drama with trying to place my order happened all over again. (Won't repeat it - just see above. exact same offense) Who is my server? Is anyone coming over? Here is a tip, Pita Jungle. I'm a cool chic, I love the bohemian vibe, and yes, it's totally cool that servers dress in what I shall call 'street wear' ...but if they insist on taking their sweet old time, I wonder if you can just give out a name tag or have them introduce themselves so I know who to hunt down? All I can see are a bunch of folks standing around, chit-chatting with each other. Oh wait, those are my servers hanging out by the bar area. I am all about whistle while you work, but can you just see about taking my order sometime? Well, I'm so happy the bussers here have it together. They were more helpful to bring a water and/or clear my plate than the servers. I guess they weren't elite enough to stand around and chit chat with the rest of the waitstaff. Third offense: I notice that if you get a seat at the bar, you are literally sitting right across from someone and they can't MISS you at all. I figure this has to be the way to do it. Placing an order, getting a refill, hunting down the bill should never be a problem again. Right? hahaha..nice try! Came in again and plopped right at the bar. Got my food ordered. Check. Alright..I'm off to a good start. Minutes later my food arrives. hey, hey!! We almost nailed it. SIGH. But then..I was forgotten again. I find that after 15 minutes sometimes folks need a refill or a check-in on your meal. (Me, I just wanted a water actually. Well..at first. Then I lost track of all the things I needed because time turned into a quantum leap). I see in front of me 3-4 servers hanging out and laughing amongst themselves. It goes on for...well...ever. I look around the restaurant and the folks at the tables (inside and outside) seem to shift in their seats a bit. Finally I pipe into their private conversation and ask just for a quick water. They all glare at me as if I am completely interrupting them. How could I be so rude? Alrighty then. I'll just pay my bill and leave. Finally just chased down a busser (figured that part out!) and they took care of it. No more stars for you. Look at this trend in similar Yelp reviews. Should I give you yet another chance, Pita Jungle? C'mon, get your waitstaff in order. read more

The BEST hummus I have had. No lie. Creamy, yet light, flavorful, yet not too much so...it was heaven in my mouth, served on a warm pita...delightful! I could've eaten an embarassingly large bowl of it and had that been enough. Falafel was tasty and my taboule was light and refreshing, the fruit platter looked huge and delicious...everything was beautifully presented, colorful, and just tasty. I felt tragically unhip here, but alas, I kind of already am tragically unhip. However, when I'm in the Phoenix-area again and craving some serious hummus, I will face the hipsters and come back. Scoff if they must, I need pureed garbanzo beans like nobody's business. read more

This place is consistently fabulous. Every time I've been there, I've gotten great food and great service. One of my favorite offerings is the Moroccan Gazpacho. If you love crunchy veggies and a lot of cilantro, this cold soup is for you. It is accented with plump golden raisins -- which sounds a little weird, but it is divine. It adds a little sweetness to the strong (but delicious) onion and cilantro. The cold tuna pita is also wonderful. It's served more or less like a salad, with one of Pita Jungle's sublime pita's on top. It is also topped with sprouts and a light lemony dressing. Another fine sandwich is the lavosh shawarma wrap. Oh dear God.... It just makes me happy. Juicy chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a shmear of garlic sauce. It's just so good! If you love hummus, this is another must-try! The cilantro jalapeno hummus is to die for! I was actually hoping for it to have a little more of a kick -- it is incredibly mild, but very flavorful. This is definitely one of my go-to places when friends come in town. There is always good music in the air, and cool art/photography on the wall. read more

I've been a fan of Pita Jungle since before they started expanding locations. This one is much closer to me than the original. The one in Tempe has always had weird spacey hot chicks working there... I always sort of wondered if it was a cult of some sort. It has since become I guess the ideal dream job for a hot college/high-school hipster. Every location I've been to is the same in this respect. It's also the same experience in terms of great food. The menus vary slightly from location to location, but the comestibles are always outstanding. If you like hummus, you should like this. It's light and creamy and flavorful. Not gritty or bland at all. I'd say in the last few years they've even improved on their food in terms of quality if that was possible. Their chicken has been more reliable and everything is just more consistent. Everything else... veggies, salads, pasta, pitas, etc... all great. Most of it healthy as well as tasty. I love that you can see the kitchen while you wait for your food. It's so clean. After watching Kitchen Nightmares for the past few years, I'm paranoid about dirty kitchens. This one is immaculate - cleaner than my own. I also dig the decor. Every location is aesthetically pleasant. Another great thing about this place is that it's not terribly expensive. Three of us ate for 42 bucks. Not too bad. I like this location more for lunch and the Tempe location for dinner. Don't know why, but I'd rather drink wine at the Tempe location. I can't really complain too much - had less than perfect service once or twice across all locations... had imperfect food a few times. I'm not a fan of the outdoor seating - metal table/chairs - it's not a big deal though. So tough trying to find fault here. Not only is Pita Jungle one of the best restaurants in the Valley, it's an AZ original (afaik) that we can be proud of. I wish I thought of it more often - particularly when I have out of town guests. Pita Jungle is full of win. read more

This is my first time eating here!! No I believe that in a review there should be everything from food to ambience and scenery involved. So here we go. I've always been apprehensive in going here bc I don't care for gyros. So I went today to try out the food and I was surprised. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala. It was very good. The sauce was right now. Perfect flavor profiles. Just the right amount of salt and spice. The chicken was delicious had been marinated and flavored on it's own. I was impressed. And the rice wasn't dry! Very good. The energy of the place was perfect for lunch. That's when I went. Energy, fast paced and great. The service was awesome. Always attentive on the drinks being filled. And the food getting out quick. And my favorite part. A lot of great looking guys. Very handsome. Girls and gays would love it here. And I'm sure the girls were pretty but I didn't notice. I will be going back for the scenery and the delicious food. read more

Loving the Pita Jungle! Almost twice a month my friends and I meet there for gossip and wine and mediterranean food.. AND the crowd reminds me a bit of DC... (silly I know!, but I love when guys are in suits at lunch! ).. hehe! ABOUT the food... Greek Salad.. if your watching your mid.. this is what I say works! Large or small .. the large too much for me.. but its a good salad. IF no dates that week! THEN 'splurge' on the Spinach Quesadilla. its on lavosh bread... and not over greasy.. their version of pico de gallo, is fresh and works with the quesadilla.. and the tsaziki is a plus.. all med cafes need an awesome tsaziki, after all its just a given! They have a full bar.. good wines.. Gazpacho rocks! AND Ive had the seared ahi with fruit salad.. YUM! the portions are big.. be prepared... :-) NOW If I were here on a lunch hour.. idk..this place has a wait outside and in.. and its placement of tables is on the European scale (like elbow to elbow).. make friends , I guess! read more

So, I have to admit that I once threw up in the Pita Jungle bathroom, but it was not Pita Jungle's fault - it was definitely something I ate the night before. It certainly made for a memorable first date experience with my now husband, and we have been back many many times. Oh, how I love Pita Jungle. I haven't tried anything that I wouldn't have again in a heartbeat - currently I am hooked on the Potato Pizza. yummy! Their breakfast options are wonderful - definitely try it on a lazy Sunday morning. There is usually no wait. The ambiance is fantastic, casual and arty, with a little bit of crunchy granola thrown in. A++ for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Eat hummus and pita. Try falafel. Try anything on the menu, because it is all good. read more

Let me preface this with a simple statement: I absolutely LOVE the food from Pita Jungle! That being said, there are a few things that irk me about Pita Jungle. First, the music is very loud. I'm noticing this is a common theme with the new wave of restaurants that are opening. I have asked a couple of times if the music can be turned down, but the reply I hear over and over (at multiple locations, mind you) is that the music is at "company standard" and that I can sit outside. This is rude, considering it is the middle of the summer in Phoenix. Second (and this is a personal problem), I really, really wish there were french fries. I know this sounds silly, but they really do taste amazing with hummus. Oh well, the personal battle ensues. Third, most of the people that are hired are pretty snobby and incompetent. This sounds rude, but I was in the customer service industry for a long time. I know I have high standards, but I minimally expect people to do their jobs. Anyway, I eat here all the time. I just get the food To-Go :) read more

I love you Pita Jungle. Not only do you have a separate menu for us vegans, but now you have a Tapas Happy Hour and a kids menu?! Hold the phone! The Tapas Happy Hour is daily from 3pm-5:30pm and the plates are all $1-$3. My favorites include the hummus trio sampler and the falafel (comes with 2). Delicious! read more

So Managment at Pita reached out to me. I posted under the wrong location. It was 7th street and Missouri. They asked a few clarification questions. I responded and they responded by blaming me all over again! Very strange. I do not need to pay money to a business to give them the privilege of treating me poorly. read more

Let me start off by saying, this isn't a 5 star place to eat. But, I give it a mighty big round up. Why? Read on. The food - 3.5 star worthy. You won't sink your teeth into the best gyro you've ever had, but both the beef and Mediterranean chicken gyros are good. Not great, but good. Portions are generous if you order a wrap. You'll probably need a box for 1/2 your wrap, unless you just have an ungodly appetite. Salads are big, too, and come with plenty of tomatoes and cucumber slices. Now, the hummus, that's good. Try their jalapeno hummus. Quite tasty. Service - 3.5 stars. You won't fall over backwards with surprise, but you shouldn't have any real complaints either. Even during peak hours, like lunchtime, wait time is short, even if you arrive with a hungry group of 7. Splitting up of the check was painless, too. The waitstaff doesn't seem to have much personality, but at least they get to wear whatever they'd like, which can be interesting when you try and figure out who works there (and who doesn't). They're also attentive to your beverage, so refills are no problemo - which is a good thing when you're chowing on Greek grub. Atmosphere - 4 stars. It's welcoming, laid back and clean. You can peek into the kitchen while they prep the food. Even for it being cramped, Pita Jungle still manages to appear more open than you'd expect. You don't feel crowded here, nor do you drown in the conversations of others, even during high traffic times. Also, there's art on the wall, which is usually great eye candy. Artistic Support - 5 stars. This is the clincher. You see, I think it's really awesome that Pita Jungle supports local artists. Don't believe me? Go in the month of December and get a glimpse of the World of Rynaga. The entire concept - books, prints, Web site, etc. - belongs to a local artist. (http://www.rynaga.com/) Let's recap. While the food is really good (not great) and the atmosphere is inviting and friendly, I give Pita Jungle 5 stars for being a super cool restaurant that lends a hand to help expose local artists by displaying their art on their walls for all their hungry patrons to see. read more

I'm not crazy about this place, and I probably wouldn't return if they didn't have the city's best rice pudding and hummus here. The seating is a little jarring and completely impossible to navigate in a rush. The service is annoying at best, and though prompt, the server's attitude should never be directed by their challenging hairstyle, accessories, etc. You're edgy. We get it. Oh, and parking is a real son of a bitch. I would suggest parking by walgreen's, unless you really enjoy being gridlocked. read more

Since this place is located in a strip mall I mistakenly assumed it was one of those places where you ordered at the counter and then grabbed a table. I was a little bit surprised when I arrived and discovered it was more of a sit down casual restaurant. I ended up getting take out so it didn't really matter in any case. I ordered their hummus and tabbouleh pita. When they handed me my to-go bag I thought they had given me enough food to feed a small army...it seriously weighed several pounds. I think I ended up making three meals out of it...and all three meals were delicious. If I lived in Phoenix I would come here all the time. read more

While one of the healthier choices in Arizona, I wasn't impressed with their food, nor their service. I've only been to the one in Chandler. While the fare isn't terrible, I just don't find it overly flavorful. I've had the hummus, and the lavosh salmon wrap. The wrap was pretty disappointing for me. I'll probably go again just to see if something else on the menu will wow me. And if my opinion changes, I will come back & update. read more

Wow -- cheap, delicious, OK service, and upscale Arcadia vibe inside. I'm sold. I'm aware of the complaints of the Tempe location, so I'm on guard. Although it's newly opened, I will def. go back to try out some more. *Cheap* Dinner for two with an appetizer and drinks was $22. *Delicious* The food was was great. Cilantro jalapeno hummus? OMG. I'm starting to DROOL just thinking about it again!! Tangy and zesty, but not spicy enough for you wimps out there. And with grilled chicken and pine nuts?!? Yum. Beef and shawarma gyros were dependable and good. Lots of other choices I want to try next time, esp. the wraps, veggie burgers, pizza and spicy mango shrimp. *OK service* This one I will let slide since it is only their second week. Service was kind of sketchy. It was crowded and we were told in despair by the host to pick our own table in some kind of confused blather. Our server was cute and attentive, and quick. She easily accomodated a change in our order. It took a while to get place settings and menu, because, well, we were told to seat ourselves and our server wasn't aware of this. Hopefully the confusion will be corrected over time. *Upscale hip Arcadia vibe* Gorgeous gigantic dark-wood mirror frames the back wall of the strip mall joint. Open layout , with full length windows and small sleek dark-wood tables throughout with a handful of patio tables out front. Clientele of talkative (borderline loud) 30-something singles (some w. young kids) reflects the neighborhood. A bit more polished than the Tempe location, but still OK to dress casual. read more

I like pita jungle just like anyone else, but I think it is given too much cred. The Fake Mediterranean stuff like the lavosh pizza are good, but I can't really say that anything else is anything but adequate. Falafel is ok there. The most bangin thing is the red pepper hummus, but I would just buy it to go, cause to me, the pitas taste like they bought them at fry's. Salads are huge here, if you're into those for a meal. Other than that it's just doing what it's supposed to, nothing above and beyond. I usually find that it's very crowded there too. I would rather hit up Haji's. read more

Ordered to go. Once again the chicken was dry. Tired of paying this much for a meal that is below standard

The Good: I am thrilled to have a nice healthy restaurant so close. Even though I think Pita Jungle has a great atmosphere, I still feel comfortable and welcome wearing my workout clothes and riding my bike to dinner-- major plus. The food is delicious and healthy, from the starters to the salads, to the pita wraps. That being said... The Not-so-good: I was underwhelmed with the friendliness of the waitstaff. I felt like I was annoying the hostess when I finally asked if I could put my name down for a table, after she kept ignoring me for a minute or so. When we were finally seated, our food took extra-long to get to us. Our server was nice, but almost shy. None of this was a deal-breaker, but definitely made our night less than perfect. Pita Jungle is a great weeknight post-workout choice that could work just a tiny bit on costumer service and wait time. read more

Well I was thinking to myself last night that I would be giving this location a 3. HOWEVER, that just went down the drain. Last night the hubs and I ate dinner here. I am currently on this strict vegan diet, so I asked the waiter if the black bean burger was vegan. He said he wasn't sure but that he would check. A minute later he comes back and says yes it is. SCORE! I eat half of it and boxed up the rest for lunch, which I will no longer be able to eat BECAUSE THE DAMN BURGER IS NOT VEGAN! I went on PJ's website this morning to find out calories and what not, because I track that stuff, they had a whole section listing what is vegan and what is not,and sure as shit, the black bean burger was listed on their site as NOT being vegan...why the staff doesn't have access to this info I do not know. So anyway.....Our actual experience was ok. This time around all the employees were actually dressed and no goods were hanging out. Our waiter sucked. He never checked on us once the food came, never came to give us refills, our plates were cleared away by someone else, a box was brought to me by someone else, we had our credit card sitting on the table for a good ten minutes waiting for the bill. They did get a wee bit busy, but they seriously had about 6 people working that night for that very small location. I'm not sure what is up with this location. It has always been like pulling teeth to get decent service there. The food is always good but the service is lacking. read more

Out on a date and he says "Pita Jungle" after the show. I say OK! I am in love with the red bell pepper hummus and rice pudding ~ We get there around 12:30 pm on a Sunday (today) afternoon. Not a wait (great!) we sit by the wall so we can hear each other! The place is always noisy as it is a cafeteria type setup. Our waitress was on top of things, wine, ordering, etc. He orders the Faluja somethings which are like vegan meatballs in a salad. We share the Moroccan Gazpacho Soup (YUM YUM YUM) and I lay into the hummus. Needless to say with all that food we were stuffed! With 2 glasses of wine I was ready to take a walk (in Phoenix I think it was like 120,000 degrees outside) so we walked around the misters ~ Clean place, staff ready to serve, food a plenty, and he treated :-) The bill was only $39.00 with all that scrumptious food! ~ Luana Joya Lucia read more

Pita Jungle is pretty decent I've had their chicken shwarma plates every time I go. It's pretty college-neo hippie-veggie-art on the walls is for sale-type of place. Not to say that's a negative, just a weird vibe for me personally. Haji Baba is just down the street and personally that is more my speed and I think their hummus is better too. read more

For starters, I love Pita Jungle and although the food here is top notch the service is annoyingly bad. The past two times the servers have disappeared to that magical vortex called "server land". Where on Earth do they disappear to ? I'm not sure how there can be 5 people in the restaurant and the server(s) can't seem to handle it. At times there are servers walking around, literally right past your table, ignoring the fact that you've even sitting there for 10 minutes with a menu and they don't stop and ask if you need anything due to some strange server boundary rules. "Have you been helped yet?" Seems to be a common theme in this location. Long winded way of saying food 10, service 0. read more

I have been to Pita Jungle 5 or 6 times and although its tasty, I wouldnt say that it is amazing. The food is normally good, but never really filled with flavor, and I frequently find myself disappointed in their hummus. I like being able to sit indoors or out. No complaints but no raves, either. read more

While I don't falter often from my usual order, everything from Pita Jungle that I've had has been great. I usually get the half jalapeno/half roasted red bell pepper hummus followed by the glazed chicken lavosh. The lavosh is absolutely amazing, toasted in their wood fire oven and topped with generous portions of the honey glazed chicken and feta cheese. The half green tea/half lemonade arnold palmer is my refreshment of chioce, refreshing my taste buds and preparing them for another round of the excellent food. The servers here are great too, but I don't mean in a white-glove waiter sort of way. These are the people that are fresh off the bong, and honestly, I'm surprised the food even makes it to the table intact. Don't get me wrong, If they were to change this I may not frequent as much. I enjoy my fare share of baked-out-of-their-mind servers, there's just less stress! The only negative thing I can think of about this place is that the dishes are a little too expensive to make it a weekly stop and the tables are pretty crowded together. Other than that I've never seen anything to complain about. I also love the ever-changing art from local talent! Very chill place... read more

Always a great change from the typical sandwich. Thing is, there are so many other things that I could eat here. Went with my girlfriend who had the Mahi Mahi. Looked like a meal you would get at a high end restaurant. My fav: the Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus. So good! I could eat tubs of this stuff. Oh wait, I did! Always leave this place stuffed, but never have that "I can't believe I just ate that" feeling. Okay, I will confess I had a Bosa Donut on the way home. Hey, It's 113 out what else do you do in Phoenix. read more

I had no idea there was a regular sit-down restaurant version of this mall-food-court favorite. The place was absolutely packed and so many were waiting patiently! I took a seat at the bar and was greater promptly. I ordered my "mall" fav salad...the Mediterranean. It was delicious but looked like a smaller portion...could be because of the larger plate. Can't say it was worth $14.00...$10 something plus tax and gratuity. I'll definitely come back to try something else though! read more

I have been a fan of Pita Jungle for a while but I usually have eaten at the one in Desert Ridge. Well Hubby one day said "hey meet me for lunch at Pita Jungle near work on Indian School" I was like cool. THEN he said "you'll love this one, its way better than the one near our house". I gave him that skeptical look (oh you boys know which look I'm talking about...) We went and had a great lunch and I have to tell you this place is way better. The Jalapeno and Cilantro Hummus tastes like fresh Cilantro and has a little snap from the Jalapeno the way mother nature intended. I love the Chicken Tikka Masala which is loaded with tender chicken in a sauce I can swim in. My husband always orders the same thing - the Chicken Del Sol (which I am secretly envious of but refuse to order the same thing as he does. I know I know, I'll have to get over that some day...) I also tried the Hummus and Steak on the very last visit and have to say that this dish just rocks! I think I could order anything here and it would be fabulous. I love the funky Bohemian-cool atmosphere of this place too. The servers are all really friendly and very efficient. Love this place!!! read more

Oh Pita Jungle, how I love you so. I first was brought here by my mother upon my return to Phoenix for a healthy lunch. The place is very busy but adequately priced. I am a huge fan of the greek salad and if you just want a light lunch, get a small. The falafel platter is delicious, as well as the spinach four-cheese quesadilla. I've never had a problem with the service, my water is always promptly refilled and yes, they are short, but I would be too if the place was as busy as it is during lunch. Art adorns the walls and I'm a fan of that huge mirror [sneaky people-watching!] on the back wall. I would recommend this place to anyone, it really is my favourite spot for lunch. read more
