This is the best Pita Jungle I have been to. The service at this location is outstanding. We have never had issue with delayed food or attitude & the servers go above and beyond. The food at this location is consistently good & the portions are generous. I am a huge fan of the cilantro hummus topped with pico de gallo. The garlic potatoes are simply awesome! If they don't come with your dish, order a side of them. Pita Jungle has a TON of vegetarian options. The Macro Platter is a great choice. I think I would sell a kidney for their mixed bean recipe. read more

I love Pita Jungle just as much as the next person, but I have experienced seriously inconsistencies between all 4 locations I've frequented. Sometimes the food (esp the hummus) is SO incredibly salty that I can't even taste the hummus for what it is..... It is awfully Americanized, but there are so many other wonderful things on the menu to choose from. The Fetoosh Salad is really quite good but it will feed you for 3 days (no kidding). My absolute favorite is the Mediterranean Salad with tabouli, raisins, pine nuts, and sauteed tofu. The Vegetarian sample platter is also a great way to get many good things. The service is really, really, really weird. If you order an appetizer, 9 times out of 10 it will come WITH the entrees. Not in any good enough amount of time to work on it before much else. Some of the servers come back to the table a million times to ask how you are doing when you would like to be left alone to stuff your piehole. On that note, there are SO many airheaded, clueless hipsters working at these places that the service really, really, really suffers. Otherwise, enjoy your Americanized Middle eastern food. It's damn tasty. read more

Consistent and Fresh, Its great to have a place that has high turnover and provides quality food that is cooked in a simple manor to make it a no brainer to return. The Indian School location shows off how far Pita Jungle has made it. The family has opened up locations all across the valley and producing a variety of success. Yet, one thing remains the same, consistent food and a family restaurant feeling. Oh yeah for you vegetarians this is your hot spot. Keep growing Pita Jungle, can't wait to visit your restaurants when I travel out of state (hint hint to you loyal Pita Jungle fans). read more

I have been coming here on and off, but I have always got a great meal out of it. The food is very price worthy and, as I most probably wouldn't make this a place where I would hang out and drink, they have that option too. I had the schwarma last time, which basically is a pita wrap of the kind that can be found all over Europe. Tasty to say the least.. but I have to get better at trying out their curry dishes, because they look and smell fantastically. Some people say they have gotten bad service here, but I never have had a bad experience. It's very casual and I must say I appreciate that. As I said, its more a place to eat than a place to hang out at. read more

Just had an amazing experience at Pita Jungle. First time here. Wife is vegetarian I am not. Was able to find things on the menu that both of us liked. Best part was their system was down and so they could not issue checks or take payment so the meal was free. Highly impressed that they continue to stay open and serve free meals instead of closing their doors when their system was down. Service was excellent! read more

Been here a few times and have tried various items on the menu from their pizzas to the hummus to their sandwiches, soups, and salads. One definite plus is the consistency in the quality and flavor of their food. I have yet to try anything I haven't enjoyed here. As mentioned by other reviewers here, their portions are on the large side and if you have any dietary restrictions, they're very helpful. The staff for the most part is friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is usually a little on the busy side, but relaxed. The art work on the walls rotates and tends to be a topic of conversation between my friend and myself. One thing for sure is that if the weather is nice, I'd suggest sitting outside simply because the tables feel a little crowded indoors and if you're looking to have a private conversation, this isn't the place for you. read more

I was in town on a small commercial shoot and got lunch catered by these guys for 15 people cast/crew. Food was great, presentation was amazing, service was great when I came in to pickup. When I came to pickup the place was packed, and people at the counter were great at trying to get me in and out as they were dealing with lunch rush. Everything was displayed great, in very nice containers. The quality of food was great, falafel, hummus, salad, all were fresh & the cast loved it. I only placed the order a few hours before picking up. Only hassle, was i tried to order online and it was a pain to do catering order + they wanted you to sign up or something which is annoying. Just call the guy and place your order. Great for groups/catering, would definitely do it again. read more

Food is great, love it love it love it. The Philla Steak Pita, the hummus, the mediterranean chicken salad, gotta love it. Wait staff on the male side is total eye candy, however, can't say I'm impressed by being called dude. My waiter need some listening skills as he forgot my soda until I reminded him for the 2nd time. Maybe cuz it was cuz he was giving elevator eyes to customers and staff. Would give this place more but think the male wait staff needs to come down to earth a bit so we can at least have a decent conversation....dude. read more

I always start off with the cilantro-jalapeno hummus... you won't regret it! If you're ok with a few extra calories, ask for the Greek pita bread; it's a little thicker and melts in your mouth. I'd recommend the California wrap with a side salad. The portion is rather large so share with a friend or be prepared for leftovers. They have a decent beer selection and great munchies during happy hour. If you can, snag a seat outside and enjoy the great Arizona weather. read more

So this place opened only about a month ago, and I don't even think I can count the number of times I've been here already on both hands. I really like Pita Jungle-- laid back atmosphere, beautiful interior, delicious food! Yes, the waitstaff can be slow at times, but they are young kids, and I feel they generally fit more in the "atmosphere" category than "staff," meaning they are all young and cool and hip, and thus contribute to the whole vibe of the place. I could make a thousand recommendations, but I won't. Just read over the huge menu and try something you never would have thought of. I promise you, it will be good. I will tell you this, though: this location is still waiting on their liquor license as of my last visit. Have the iced tea, it's yummy! Also, this branch is planning to have delivery service soon. I may never leave my house again! read more

Went here with a co-worker for a quick lunch last week, and I now understand what the buzz is all about. The food is tasty, healthy and simple. Simple meaning that it doesn't have all kinds of crazy stuff/ingredients in it, and you can order a light healthy lunch easily. We shared the trio hummus and a veggie pizza. Both awesome, although I would say I've had hummus that is just as good elsewhere (but I guess how amazing can one make hummus, really? it's chickpeas, garlic and whatever else you throw in there). However I was QUITE impressed with the veggie pizza. Perfect size for sharing, and the veggies were so fresh and colorful! What a treat! Will be back I'm sure. I have a closer one in Gilbert & am hoping the food is consistently good across all their locations. read more

Pita Jungle is great! I love their salads - the Mediterranean Chicken Salad is my absolute fave. Their Broiled Chicken Salad is also good if if you're looking for something a little more simple. I frequently order these but have also had their Lavosh Pizza, which is tasty too. As far as starters go, you can't go to Pita Jungle and not get their hummus and pita. The best hummus flavors are the regular and the cilantro ones. I've also had their Spanakopita (fillo dough with spinach and feta) which is great - but can't be good for you! I enjoy both dining in or takeout for either lunch or dinner. Keep in mind, eating inside here, it gets pretty loud. If the weather is nice, I would suggest eating on the patio. read more

I love to swing through Pita Jungle whenever possible! Every time I come, I cannot resist ordering something with pita and hummus, and it is always roaring good! The salads, smoothies, and pitas that I've shared are all delish. Also, there are so many non-meat and non-gluten choices. The servers are hip without being pretentious, no snakes in the grass here. The decor is king! Come on, what a cool giant mirror! Just writing this review makes want to get lost in the jungle again! read more

What a find! Delicious sandwiches, fresh pita, and the kids meal was the healthiest tastiest mix of four things that you can choose. Reasonably priced, very attractive inside. The server Kelsey was awesome -- so attentive and warm. We will definitely be back. read more

I have been an avid Jungler for several years. First of all, to get the real Pita Jungle experience you have to go to their flagship location on Apache in Tempe. The vibe is truly authentic and the food is excellent. I grew up in Portland, OR and as soon as I was introduced to Pita Jungle, it felt like a little piece of home had been transported here. Perhaps it's growing up in a hippy town that makes me appreciate their light but satisfying and definitely flavorful fare. Try the Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus and I'm sure you will enjoy. I wanted to addressa comment I have seen about the staff being "flakey". Ok, sure, most of them are pierced or tattooed and probably wouldn't be able to work any other place with that much body art except Starbucks. BUT they are friendly, thoughtful, and attentive. I suppose people who deem them as flakey have already made their mind up about 20-somethings with bones through their ears and dreadlocks, but hippies are people too, man! I'm yuppie scum, and look like it too, but if you're nice to them, they're nice to you. Golden Rule in action. So, get yourself to a Pita Jungle. Each locale has a slightly different vibe. As I mentioned, the Tempe one is decidely alternative; the Shea one is a mix of rich, old people and your mid-Scottsdaliens (not my fav); haven't been to Arrowhead but Arcadia is great; the one at Desert Ridge is from what I can tell the most removed from the original Pita Jungle's quest for differentness, but it's Desert Ridge, so they do what they do best (the food) and fit it quite nicely amongst the turbo-shopping MILFs, Affliction wearing DBs and aforementioned yuppie scum. I will say that I was never impressed with the service at the Ray Road location, but the lake-side patio seating makes up for it. Some menu suggestions: Glazed Chicken Lavosh Pizza Any of their hummus Falafel (appetizer or pita) Beef Gyro (not available at Tempe location) Spinach Quesadilla Chicken del Sol Chicken Tikka Masala Enjoy! read more

Can never go wrong with anything at Pita Jungle. All of the portions are quite large and perfect for sharing or taking home for a snack or dinner later. On my recent visit I had the grilled veggie salad and it was huge! My lunch date had the broiled chicken wrap and it was huge too. On my previous visits I've had the hummus which is always a great choice (the Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus is my fav), the portabello burger was ok. A bit hard to eat. Not sure I'd have it again. The Hummus with Chicken was tasty, the Nachos are HUGE and very good. The soups are great too. Like I said, anything you get here is great and very fresh and tasty. The inside isn't very big so tables are very close to each other while you can opt to sit outside. I usually sit outside even in the hot summer months because it is shaded and there are misters so it's actually not bad and you get full services outside. One downside to this location is the parking like others have said. There is never enough parking for all the dining choices that are located in this shopping center. I always either try to go before noon or wait until 12:30 or a little after and I'm usually lucky on finding a spot. read more

I tried this place for the first time today and the food was delicious. I ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and it was fresh and full of wonderful flavors. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the choice of ingredients was unexpected yet delicious! Kudos to the chef and owners for great quality food at a good price. HOWEVER.... I take off a star because of the outrageously rude service. I was dining alone and was not only ignored by my server, but when I asked to pay he did not answer and only glared at me. He brought the check a moment later with no smile or "How was the food?". The only contact made by any staff member once my order was taken was by a buser that took my plate away. Shame on the server for having a severe attitude problem, but double shame on the restaurant for staffing their restaurant with disrespectful employees. read more

One of the best spots to eat hands down. I swear there is nothing bad on this menu. Good for groups without the guilt on your waistline or your wallet. No matter what I order, I have to set a side of the garlic potatoes...YUM!! read more

I dig the atmosphere, I enjoy their food. Good service and a tastey schwarma left me with nothing to complain about. The pita and hummus made for a delicious appetizer. We left feeling full and happy. read more

Pita Jungle - Tastes so good, it's hard to believe you're eating healthy. - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

lunch was delicious!! definitely recommend coming in!! service was speedy n super friendlyyyyy !!!

Just ate the spicy chicken wrap, which was hot, packed with veggies, and perfectly seasoned. The portion was huge, probably 20 percent bigger than a Chipotle burrito, and two meals for $7.99 is a tremendous value, especially given how comparitively healthy Pita Jungle's entrees are. Also, the take-out order was ready exactly when it was promised. One harsh bit of criticism: Don't be cheap with the pocket bread; one piece rolled up in foil is totally insufficient for a 7-10 oz. tub of hummus. If you're ordering you have to request additional bread or you're going to have some lonely leftover hummus. I haven't eaten in yet, but the atmosphere seems fun and diverse--everyone from shaggy haired hipsters to the Dockers-wearing crowd. And there's a bar, which is always helpful. read more

I don't know why on earth I let my coworkers talk me in to going to PJ. After going to a couple locations in the past and having mediocre meals, I said "what the hey" and decided to give it another chance. It's like I have annual amnesia. With that being said, I came in impartial and gave it a whirl. First off, it really cheeses me off that the first thing I see on the menu was the statement "art of eating healthy". While I generally would say that you can eat healthy there, as I looked around the restaurant, few people were eating healthy, and in fact many of the menu options are pretty unhealthy as well. I ordered a yellowfin tuna "burger" on whole-wheat with a side of potatoes. It came out looking like a sad piece of tuna on a bun. The tuna was seasoned with salt and pepper, and it was somewhat room temp. and dry. It was cooked properly inside (seared rare), but the quality of the tuna was poor or it wasn't prepared properly - it had a tough skin that was somewhat stringy. Almost akin to silverskin on beef. I ate it anyways because I was hungry. It was served with an orange colored sauce of some sort - I thought it was yogurt but couldn't tell. It was absolutely flavorless. On a positive note, the potatoes were good. The service was lousy. Look, I get the food here is probably healthier than many other mediterranean options in Phoenix. But seriously, why does it have to be so bland? I'm convinced you can make more flavorful food just as healthy. Not more fat, but how about some seasoning? Exotic spices? A well marinated chicken breast perhaps? A nice harissa? Ground turkey kebab (kefta)? Sumac anyone? I guess I'll just have to try PJ next year when I return for another meal. read more

The food at Pita Jungle is really good but the service at the 2 locations I have been at is always the same, horrible! I came into this location to have dinner with 3 other people and walked in and asked for a table and the hostess sat 4 people who came in after me before me. When she walked back she said, "Oh, I forgot that you needed a table for 4 as well. Something will clear up soon." Then our waitress was a little less than thrilled to be helping us. The food took forever to get to our table and we were never asked if we wanted more drinks, we had to ask another waiter for help. I am all for supporting local establishments but Pita Jungle is hard to support when they seem so uninterested in their customers. read more

I cannot imagine my life without Pita Jungle. We generally order take-out. So easy and so friendly and efficient. (parking always is a pain at the 44th plaza, especially on weekday lunch hour. I love the pita pizza, the shwarma, salads, and chicken pasta. HUmmus is really addicting. I also love that no matter how many ways you custom order your choice, Pita Jungle accomodates without any attitude. How rare and great is that? Always clean, consistent and never a bad experience. read more

Can't give it 5 stars because I've had a couple poor service experiences here (of 100+ times dining), but PJ is one of my very favorite local restaurants. Can be crowded, at which point the level of service will go down...as with pretty much all awesome, affordable restaurants? Don't know why people would put "crowded" as such a downside. Other people want to eat here too. Call in your order, you goons. Super casual atmosphere compared with a lot of Arcadia-area business lunch type places, but the food is absolutely top notch. The quality of the meals here is almost unparalleled for the price. My favorites are mahi-mahi with pita chips, hummus trio with chicken, lentil fetoosh salad, and the lavosh shwarma wrap. I substitute veggies on some of these and they always get it right. Also possibly the best iced tea in town. And they always give me a to-go cup. read more

Good place to stop for a healthy meal! Service was good, hummus was good, and the pizza was okay. Not my favorite type of pizza, but I was sharing a meal and everyone else enjoyed it. They have great Pitas and a small, but good, selection of beer on tap. Worth stopping in if you are in the area for lunch or dinner! read more

When I first became a vegetarian I ate here all of the time. The food is healthy and delicious. Relaxing atmosphere. Food tastes so much better when someone else makes it. The happy hour prices are amazing, lots of delicious food and unlimited tropical iced tea all under $10! read more

See all

This location has disappointed me yet again... I ordered a large hummus with 3 wheat pitas to go. I barely got any hummus, it looks like they took a small hummus and put it in a large container, I didn't get the extra pita I paid for and the pitas I did get were white not wheat and ice cold. What a rip off! I definitely won't be back to this location again. read more

Ate at the Frank Lloyd Wright location in Scottsdale on 6/5/19. Incredibly long wait time for food, even though restaurant was only 20% full. Salmon salad was basically a pile of spinach leaves with a dried-out piece of salmon sitting on top. I'm talking really dry, couldn't finish it. There was about 1 tsp of feta, other ingredients similarly meager. A poor value for nearly $16. My chicken pita was the only thing drier than my wife's salmon salad. The romaine looked quite old, black along the edges, had to pull and discard. Virtually no sauce on the pita, like swallowing cut-up drywall. I ordered gazpacho to start, received the 'Mediterranean' version for some reason, containing raisins and chick peas. ??? Did not send anything back due to long wait, otherwise we'd still be sitting there. Wrote to them when I got home. No answer yet. Will never go back. read more

Had an incredible meal last night with some friends who were from out of town and wanted to take them to our local hang out. We used to head up to Scottsdale & Shea but recently moved closer to the Arcadia area and boy were we surprised to be welcomed by some familiar faces from the old store. Kelly the GM has always been gracious and Elizabeth took wonderful care of us. The food at this location has always seemed incredibly consistent and flavorful. We began with the trio hummus (sub the Greek pitas) and add fresh cut cucumbers followed by the spicy mango shrimp, chicken pasta salad with added feta, lentil fetoosh with grilled salmon and the lavosh shawarma wrap. People were giving the new teas a bad wrap via Yelp (or from what I've read) but I liked them and so did our friends. Thank you again Kelly and Elizabeth for always caring, you truly add to the experience. See Arcadia soon. PS our Omaha friends say head out east :) read more

Simple. Black bean burger. Yes. Jalapeño hummus. Absolutely Beer. I'm there. Good prices. Done and done! read more

PIta Jungle is one of my favorites. I think I may have tried almost ever item. From their pitas to their tasty appetizers to their smoothies - it's amazing. It's the restaurant I take any of my vegan and vegetarian friends too - same with gluten free. I just recently got into their entrees, and I love their wood-fired salmon with potatoes and sauteed spinach. It is so good. I get to-go here all the time, so tasty! HOWEVER, I've usually had poor service at this location. They know their food is so good, it's like they don't have to be pleasant when you eat there. The food usually comes out promptly and it's always tasty - but my gripe has always been with a server who just didn't seem like they cared. BUT totally worth overlooking for this food. Really good for pretty cheap! read more

"This restaurant is always busy!" (Lunch, Dinner, Winter, Summer) The quality of food in this restaurant is Primo! I feel by stating the fact above I've given you an idea how good the food is... I've tried the appetizers, the salads, the Falafels, the Gyros, & the "hummus!" "Oh the Hummus!" My favorite is the "Hummus with the seared Ahi!" I've never had a bad meal here! The service has always been great. They get your food to you fast...Also the waiting staff is very bohemian, which makes dinning here even more interesting! This is not a stuffy upscale restaurant, but the food is as good if not better than most of the overpriced joints around town! My only complaint is that it is always busy, & therefore loud! read more

Probably my favorite restaurant in Arcadia - I find myself there at least once a week. In short, the food is fresh, healthy and affordable. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. Their happy hour may be one of the best-kept secrets in town - specials on beer/wine and a large selection of delicious tapas - all from $1 to $3. If I had to find a flaw I'd say the cavernous ceilings can make it a bit loud during peak times. If you go with a date that's a soft talker, prepare to do some lip reading. read more

Since I've been eating at various Pita Jungle locations for over 8 years now, it's probably time I show some love! If I could only eat at a couple places for the rest of my life, I would be totally fine as long as that included this place! It's just quick, tasty, affordable and generally fresh food. I have never had a bad meal and the service has always been good. If you don't like something, they are happy to replace it swiftly. My staples - seasonal soups (gazpacho in the summer, coconut curry in the winter and always order it with a cheese crisp), baba ganoush!!!!, gyro, spinach & cheese quesadilla, and the tzatziki. Pita Jungle caters to everyone and really seems to provide tasty, healthy options even for kids. read more

Great tasting food, the place is a little noisy and a table for two inside is very small. We had to keep moving plates, S&P glasses etc around to keep them from falling to the floor. Service was slow at first, but once our waitress started, she was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Worth the money. I'll go there again for sure! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: after my poor experience with the gyro sandwich I was promptly contacted by the manager, which of course got me to come back and give them another try. This time I actually went to the location and it was quite nice on the inside. Service was terrific! My waitress was very fast and very friendly, no complaints at all, the staff seemed really on point. Instead of the gyro I order the chicken shawarma lavosh wrap, which was pretty good. The lavosh was kinda thin and crispy - more like a tortilla really. But the wrap itself was good as it held together right until the end of the sandwich. The chicken was nicely grilled and it had some crisp veggies and a garlic sauce, but I did find it slightly on the dry side, overall. The side salad was very fresh and just the perfect amount. While I wasn't blown away by the wrap, I give a decent score - certainly better than the gyro which just tasted like salt and made of that generic compressed gyro meat instead of fresh shaved lamb/beef steaks. But a gyro that authentic is really hard to find in Phoenix, to be honest. So my updated score is an improvement, though I am still not 100% sold on Pita Jungle. This particular location is welcoming and clean and the staff gets top marks. I can't give it full stars for the food, because it just isn't the authentic middle eastern food I am looking for, it's more a trendy fusion style, something fresher than fast food, but still more a lunch meal than a nice dinner. read more

LOVE this location, the staff is very friendly and the food is always so yummy! My favorite item on the menu is the grilled chicken salad...10/10! I HIGHLY recommend trying it if you haven't already!! read more

One of my favorite local spots in town!!! Super friendly staff. Incredible food. Awesome convenient location. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!! read more

I may be new to Yelp, but I have been a huge fan of Pita Jungle for years! I have dined at many locations including Scottsdale, Phoenix and Tempe locations. I love the cozy wine bar atmosphere! My only wish is that there would be a sit down location in Old Town! I love the hummus, you can order ask for the humus trio - well worth it. By far my favorite is the Glazed-Chicken Lavosh Pizza! I get it with extra chicken! The best! I am also a huge fan of the Grilled Vegetable Salad. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! I eat in or pick up Pita Jungle at least once a week! The portions are great and for dine in they have a great wine selection! What can I say Pita you're awesome! read more
