If you're in Tempe or Phoenix I HIGHLY recommend Pita Jungle - one of my favorite restaurants of all time - heathy, tasty & amazing! The food & ambience turned a pouting 12yr old into a happy kid again: and I think that's about the most amazing thing you can say about food. We split the Mediterranean Sampler Platter, Chicken over Cilantro Jalepeno Hummus (YUM! It's in the pics - looks like chicken over guacamole), 4 drinks and fed this family of 4 for $33! Can't beat that at a great restaurant!!! Love, love, love this place - been coming since there was just the Tempe location on Apache back in the mid-90's. read more

Hey, they realized that their version of Sriacha sauce was terrible, because, it is gone! Good Job.

I really enjoy Pita Jungle. This is another one of our go-to spots. Food is always fresh and good. Service is also good. Food is reasonably priced and you can make it a longer casual dinner, or short and easy dinner--your preference. Try the quesidilla, mediterranean salad, and the nachos.

Just picked up my catering order for 25 people at work and I couldn't be happier! Ryno the GM at the 44th Street & Indian School location, helped me personally and was so nice. He helped me get the most bang for my buck and offering to package our pitas "open face" saved me from an annoying afternoon of coworkers complaining because they didn't want this or that on it. The hummus is fantastic and the veggies crisp! Thank you Ryno and the staff there, we'll be putting you guys on our regular lunch order rotation! ~Lisa read more

Pita Jungle has a great atmosphere, good service, excellent food. I recommend the hummas and the chicken schwarma is my favorite thing to order. It is very reasonably priced and an excellent place to eat. read more

Pita Jungle is an unassuming, relaxed restaurant. The decor and mood are decidedly low-key and menu centers around purportedly healthier foods like hummus, falafel and of course, plenty of pita. Ingredients are typically very fresh and vibrant looking. I can highly recommend any of the hummus appetizers as well as the baba ghanoush. The warm pitas such as the falafel or beef gyro are definite winners being cheap, delicious and filling. This is a sit-down restaurant but food typically arrives very quickly and you can done with your entire meal in less than 40 minutes. The service at Pita Jungle isn't the place's high point. It's usually friendly but there's a short and rushed feel to it. That's probably due to the great value that Pita Jungle offers. Considering that myself and a companion can eat there with 3 courses for around $20, tips are generally low as well, even if you're tipping 25%. Overall, the food is good, service is quick and the experience is laid back. It's definitely one of my favored locations in the valley on a budget. read more

My biggest complaint about Pita Jungle is its name, which makes the place sound more like a fast-food Mediterranean joint like Extreme Pita than an upscale, healthy restaurant. In fact, even though I've worked nearby for over three months now and driven by countless times, I've avoided going there because I didn't know it was the kind of place it is. Of course, I know now, but I think the name was a poor choice for communicating what the restaurant's all about. Anyway, that little naming issue aside, Pita Jungle is a great choice for a time when you'd like to have a sit-down lunch or dinner but pay reasonable prices that are more reflective of a faster dining option. Additionally, the portions are very large for the price. I went with a co-worker, and our two dishes and two sodas came out to less than $20 total. While none of the menu choices seemed mind-blowingly creative to me, my co-workers swears by the black bean burger and I thought my falafel pita was light and flavorful (and a steal at only $5.25!). Now that I know that Pita Jungle is a restaurant serving fresh and healthy food, I have a feeling I'll be back pretty often. read more

I've been to the place on Shea a few times and have always been impressed by the food and service. I just moved to central Phoenix and was excited to find P.J. right down the road. Same good food, different crappy service. I ordered for take-out, and didn't realize until I got home that they had not given me my soup. So I called to ask them to credit my card, and was told they "don't do that." Wha...? It's a FACT that you can return things to a credit card the same day of purchase, I do it at my place of business frequently. Instead, they gave me a number to use for "store credit" next time I order there. Sneaky way to skimp on service and keep the change. Of course I'll be going back, because now I have this credit I have to use up...but it's fast being added to my list of restaurants I love to hate: Oregano's, Houston's, and now Pita Jungle! read more

Coming to the Pita Jungle was like going to an upscale hipster restaurant. Everyone who works there is a hipster, but it's got this nice clean vibe with comfy chairs and large windows to balance out the coolness of this place. The tall ceilings make it seem larger than it really is and it's one of those joints that it wasn't what you expected when you walked in. I was expecting a sit-down place with such a cool reserved atmosphere. But it is and I totally dig it. Having never been here before, the menu was overwhelming! I love Med./Middle Eastern type food a lot and this place had everything from falafel to spanakopita to gyros to baba ganoush and baklava. It was like a dream come true. Our server was of great help to me as I couldn't even decided between three or four dishes! She gave me a few suggestions and I ended up with the falafel pita. My friend got the veggie burger. The portions are absolutely huge so even though you might be paying a slightly higher price, I took part of mine home to warm up later. The falafel was aboslutely delicious with such great texture balancing the crispiness of the falafel with the softness of the pita bread with a great crunch from the veggies all with an amazing sauce (not sure?!). I was in heaven for a while, which is totally fine for me. My friend really enjoyed her veggie burger and I sampled the potatoes. They were good but I really like Greek potatoes and would have like to seen something a bit more like that. All in all, I thought it was a great experience and it seems like the locals like this place. If I ever come back to Phoenix, I would definitely come back here! read more

Love the Pita Jungle Arcadia location. The food is always tasty and delivered to our table quickly. Kendall is a great server....ask for her! read more

Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle baby. You're gonna die. But at least you won't die hungry or unhappy. The food here is awesome. Really delicious stuff. I can't say enough good things about it. Except for the fact that Cafe Istanbul is across the effin street. And I wouldn't say I choose one exclusively over the other, but more times than not, It's Istanbul, not Constantinople. People rave about their hummus. Which is raveworthy. But I'm all about the Babaganoush. I think eggplant puree is good clean fun. But the name sounds like slang for some big booty. And I think I've just found a new euphemism. Go me. read more

I loved Pita Jungle as an ASU student and was elated when I saw that this location was opening up in my neighborhood a few months back. Since it opened, I've taken every opportunity that's come up to drag uninitiated friends over to sample their flavorful and healthy offerings. No one's walked out disappointed. Personal favorites include the lavosh shawarma wrap, spicy chicken wrap, broiled chicken salad (a great way to load up on lean protein), and the caribbean fruit salad (massive). The value you get from the huge portions is insane. I love the fact PJ is open until 10 every night. As I noted in my Arcadia Wildflower Bread Company review, beware of this plaza during weekday lunch hours: the parking situation is ridiculous. read more

Mmmm...Pita Jungle. The food is fresh, affordable and tasty. I like the atmosphere a lot. Great for groups or a dinner date. read more

Still a fan! This time around I tried the Chicken Hummus Platter. DE-lish! I phoned in the order with no problems. The chicken had a nice seasoning to it and their hummus is simply wonderful! I don't know why I didn't try this place out sooner. The word is that this place "tastes healthy" but I think it is perfect! For being a "healthy" eatery it sure does have MAS flavor!!! read more

When I lived closeby- this is where I went when I was feeling homesick for Portland food. My personal favorites- Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus= Perfect. Lavosh Pizza= 2nd best thing anyone has ever done with Lavosh (RIP Pischke's). Caramelized Cauliflower with Tahini= Duh Lentil Fetoosh Salad= That LEMONY DRESSING! Chicken Combination Platter= Perfect high protein lunch read more

Ordered a Greek Salad for take out. When I arrived the staff was rude and made me feel like I was in the way and a burden to them. When someone finally talked to me,, I was informed my order wasn't ready, even though it's now been about 20 minutes for a Togo salad. Restaurants should not offer take out, if they cannot operationally welcome it and handle it. read more

Worst service ever! Don't waste your time at this location it sucks and the servers act like they are too cool and emo to serve with any sort of personality.. Food is always good but it's not even worth it , just go to a different location read more

Why was this salad packaged this way? I ordered Uber eats and when I opened the container it exploded all over my living room. My place now smells like a Mediterranean restaurant. That was a waste of $40 and perfectly good food due to really poor packaging read more

Man I wish I was cool enough to work at Pita Jungle. Here we go....really good food, service...needs serious help. I have been to 3 Pita Jungle locations, and every location, same story. They hire only one type of person. The art school drop out that thinks they are so cool they shouldn't have to get you drinks. It's such a shame. The food is really good and semi healthy, however the staff is such a buzz kill. My last visit, my waiter was either stoned or drunk, i couldn't tell. He looked annoyed he even had to say hi let alone attempt to get our order right. After F* up our order twice, he sat in the corner gabbing with another server about how hungover he was and couldn't wait to be off. My girlfriend spent several minutes trying to flag someone down for our check, but no one could be bothered. I guess when you have drinking stories to share--who cares about getting paid? If they would hire new staff and adopt the mantra "care about our customers" then maybe I would go back... read more

These folks are a staple in the Phoenix area and don't really need my review. Good healthy eats in a happy hipster vibe. Super reasonably priced with an eclectic Mediterranean based menu. They've got the to-go process down to a science. *they have to-go Sriracha on the ready!!! If you've been to any house party, BBQ, or bat mitzvah in the past decade you're probably as tired of hummus as I am. Skip it. Try the baba ganoush or the garlic dip. Super veg friendly. Love you. read more

Kendall did a phenomenal job explaining the new items on the menu to us! Yummy food and service was great!

Pita Jungle is one of those trusty lunch spots you can rely on to combat your afternoon hunger pains. The food is good, not blow you away amazing, but I've always left feeling happy with my meal. Plus, I give them major props for a healthy menu and their hummus is yummy.... Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus? Yes please! Generally I order the Wood-fired salmon salad, and for about $11 I think that's a pretty good deal (especially for salmon). The pitas and wraps on their menu are in the $6-9 range, and I enjoy the Veggie Garden Wrap - it even has eggplant in it, a favorite of mine. With ample portions and reasonably priced food, Pita Jungle is a solid member of my lunch restaurant rotation. I just wish it wasn't located in a strip mall. During lunch time the parking lot can be complete madness, and the inside can get crowded as the tables are somewhat close together. This particular location on Indian School (I'm not sure about other spots) also has a reverse happy hour that lasts for just one hour, from 9pm-10pm (close). I thought that was kind of interesting... a one hour happy hour? That's cutting it close... but the deals are really good, $3 for a glass of wine. However the fact that it's so short makes it highly unlikely that I'll head there just for reverse happy hour, but count me in for lunch! read more

This was my third trip to Pita Jungle, my second to this very location. They have not failed me yet! Today as I was sitting outside, I could smell the pesto in the air. It drew me to the pesto pizza with chicken. Simply delicious! love the combination of the cheese, pesto, vegetables and chicken. There are few places that truly make chicken taste good, but this is definitely one of them! On my first trip here I had the Caribbean Fruit Salad, also remarkable. Lots of good fresh fruit and I loved the the coconut and raisins with it as well. read more

I dropped by pita jungle after work to order some food on my way home. The place is very cleanly and I love the neat atmosphere. The cashier Autumn took my order and was incredibly kind and really brightened my day. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

What Happened?? I have eaten at Pita Jungle for 15 years so we continue to give it another chance but the original pita jungle I knew in Tempe, is lost. The past 4 times I have eaten at this location, the food is cold, unseasoned and unimpressive. Unfortunately we will not be giving them a 5th chance and will now be eating at other local Greek restaurants that are much better and not overpriced. So sad. read more

Wow! I was really surprised! My coworked asked me to join him at Pita Jungle and I was assuming a place similar to a Pita Pit. Instead what I got was a full-menu, some great offerings, and not one disappointing order! I got: Hummus - one of the best plates of hummus I have ever had Dolmades - smaller than I am accustomed to, but they were almost meaty in consistency and taste, though it was vegetarian. Tabbouleh - spooned helping after helping into my falafel pita, wonderful, crisp, just enough vinegar, refreshing Falafel - freshly fried, hearty-tasting, I was fulfilled until the next morning Highly recommended for a long lunch or a shorter dinner. This place is great! read more

This location is a lot more pleasant to dine at then it's Scottsdale location. The Scottsdale location is always busy with Scottsdale's finest soccer moms. Screw that. Pita jungle is a decent place if you are looking for food that is a bit healthier. Lots of vegetarian and light fare is offered here. I always get the same thing, because I am a meat eater. The Gyro pita with a side of the Garlic roasted potatoes. I am disappointed that they use the preformed fabricated gyro meat for this pita. Would like to see them use the fresh shaved meat. But by judging the clientele, I'm sure it's one of the least popular pitas. Service is always adequate. Great spot to grab a pita and iced tea and hang out. read more

I cannot believe I haven't given a review of Pita Jungle yet! This is our lunch spot! And apparantly the rest of Phoenix considers it their lunch spot too.... Good luck finding a parking spot ... Have fun waiting for a seat ... ... because it is going to be busy! We've started parking at the Walgreen's close by because it's ALWAYS packed. Annoying as it might be ... it just shows how AMAZING this place really is. The hummus is sooo addictive. Seriously. I can't go a week without it! Their beef gyro puts Greek restaurants to shame. The cucumbers and tomatoes that come with the hummus are just scrumptious. No matter what you're in the mood for - Pita Jungle will satisfy! read more

Pita Jungle is one of my favorite restaurants in PHX. The web prices for my order were higher in store than the website said, and the manager, Patrick, was so helpful and kind about my concern. As he mentioned, this is a neighborhood restaurant and he treated me with consideration and kindness as I expressed my unhappiness with the unexpected changes. This is a smaller, more intimate location and definitely worth the try if you're in the area. read more

Really good fresh food. I'd give it 5 stars but I feel like sometimes they're too busy and the quality suffers a little

I eat at pita jungle at least once a week and at most about 3. The Indian School spot is conveniently located between my apt and my work - a 10 mins drive from either. My typical lunch there is the beef gyro ($6) with passion fruit ice tea which hits right on the money with my lunch budget - $10bucks. Sometimes i get a multiberry smoothie to go, which I highly recommend. Its this lovely purple color, tastes of fresh berries, and its not too sweet - a healthy and refreshing alternative to desert. I experience sudden inexplicable cravings for their beef gyro at times. The meat is delicious, the pickle and tzatzikii compliment it so well... I'm getting cravings just thinking about it. If you decide to get some hummus as a starter, I recommend the small order with 2 pitas (comes with 1) instead of the large order which seems better suited for 3+ people. I had the seafood provencal from their seasonal menu yesterday, and it was so very delicious i was literally making yummy sounds (mmmm..!) after every bite. Their lunch crowd has gone down in size recently, maybe because its so hot out. The parking in that strip mall is hell during lunch time too. There are various different lunch establishments and drivers can get pretty aggressive when they see a car pulling out. The 2 seater tables they have inside are a little cramped. I prefer more space between me fellow diners and myself and some of my heavier friends find it a little difficult to wedge between tables without interrupting seated diners. Also, forget about having a private conversation if there is a table seated next to yours. The tabletop is at capacity with 2 plates and 2 drinks. The inside of this location has a huge mirror hanging that make it feel way bigger than it is. It also brings in tons of light and lets you check out the crowd, or more notably, the hot hipster wait staff. That being said, I've never, not even during any super busy lunch rush visits, had bad or unsatisfactory service. They run lunch rush like a well oiled machine. One last thing, I am a very thirsty individual, and I love me some good iced tea, on a couple occasions I've been offered refills for my tea in to-go cups. I know its a small thing but, for me it goes a long way. read more

Went to lunch here today with a co-worker. We left about 11am and got there about 1115 or so and the place was packed, which is definately a good sign! Once we got seated, we ordered some hummus and pita bread. Like others, you get a full dish of hummus, and 1 pita. You definately need 2 or 3 to take down the whole thing. The hummus was some of the best I have had around town... The Chicken Lavosh Wrap I got was very tasty. The only negative thing I have to say is that the parking lot shares with Rubios, Pei Wei, Subway, Zen Zen, and a few others. It was pretty difficult to find a spot to park. But if you can find a place to park, make sure to check this place out. Its some tasty business!! read more

What's for dinner at least 3x a week in our household? PITA JUNGLE! The food is CONSISTENTLY fresh and delicious! When I ask my five-year-old son where he wants to go to eat, his answer is the same as above. He enjoys the kids plate that consists of chicken, hummus, steamed spinach, and fresh fruit. I always order the caprese salad as my meal with extra basil and vinegar. Their cold green tea is always refreshing! About 90% of the time, the service is outstanding! It's that 10% that gets a lil under my skin- cuz when it's bad, IT'S BAD ;( I don't wanna have to flag my wait staff down for something I need to even start to eat. That puts a damper on my dining experience. I have to say that the service at the location and the Tempe location are the best. I am surprised that the one in Mesa is still open because I consistently get SUPER HORRIBLE service there!!!! read more

Had such a good lunch here! I walked in during lunch time and was able to sit at the bar and just grab a quick bite. The veggie wrap was pretty good and the service was fast and friendly, the waitress got me and ice tea to go after I paid my tab which was greatly appreciated. read more

Pita Jungle - Veggie wrap with a little Greek side salad. Yummy but messy. - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am big fan of Pita Jungle. I have been eating their hummus and sucking down pitchers of their amazing lemonade there for years now. The food is always amazing. The hummus is my favorite appetizer. Especially the jalapeño cilantro hummus. Very legit. I love the spicy chicken wrap, the mix of veggies and chicken is perfect..FYI on this dish it is huge! Could feed two and still be stuffed. I can write books on the lemonade and ice tea.. The tea and lemonade together, talk about deadly combo.. Each pita jungle is consistent with how good the food quota is as well and taste. Whether you're in the good court or one of their nice sit down locations. They has a good wine and local beer selection. Good chill atmosphere and art as well. In and outdoor seating. Basically ONLY reason this is 3 stars is because I just got take out. I got home and there is no pita bread for my hummus and that was just a major bummer. read more

Good food and good service. A bit crowded inside, but somehow not too noisy. The portions are enormous ... which I think is actually a downfall of this restaurant. With a mountain of food, you're going to get either bored or sick trying to finish it all (or even half for that matter). The fatoosh salas was flavorless. Not bad, but really needed a sauce on the side or spices on top. Maybe even a little cheese. It was huge, this salad could feed a small family. There is no one on this earth that ever wants to eat that many lentils .... they really should cut salads in half or inform customers dishes are served family style. Hot pitas are good, cold are even better. read more

This place is SO good!!! I would hardly even call myself a huge fan of Greek/Mediterranean food, but the food here was delicious. I ordered a wrap that came with a fairly large Greek salad on the side. The portions were large and the food was delicious. In addition, we were very happy with the service that we received while dining here. I would definitely come back and recommend to others! read more

Pita Jungle - Delicious wrap with Greek salad on the side - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

UPDATE: 2/11/17 - As you saw from the manager's comments, they got in contact me and will be providing me a free entree for my next visit. That is how customer service should be. Kevin was very prompt and helpful. I've updated my rating to 4 stars based on the excellent customer service. ------------------ Original Review: 2/10/17 We always enjoy Pita Jungle, but on tonight's take out order the Chicken Curry Salad had no chicken. It did however have pieces of pita bread. Hopefully next time we will get the food we ordered. read more

The salmon is excellent as well as the broiled chicken salad, it has the best lemon dressing you have ever tasted. Hats off to you guys for keeping all the stores so consistently good. I will always chose pita jungle for any work lunch appointment no matter what area of town I am in. Thanks for coming downtown soon.... I can't wait for you to open on Roosevelt. A great healthy option for us valley wide travelers! I have eaten at Pita Jungle for over 10 years and have never been disappointed in anything I have tried. Congrats on the Flagstaff location I will try it, I want to support my local restaurants!!! read more

When we first arrived we were greeted with smiling faces. I asked our server for recommendations and she was super helpful and polite. The $9.50 Philly steak pita was almost too much food, which is great for the price! Oh and the red sriracha sauce!!! I wish we had one of these in South Carolina! read more
