PROS: 5 star salads that are HUGE, menu diversity, speed of service during lunch hour. I hear alot of great stuff about their wraps, but I'm personally not a wrap kind of guy. Middle of the road: Entrees are predictable and tend to fulfill expectations, but nothing more. Hummus offerings are clever and satisfying, but they can be beat in taste and texture even by prepackaged ones from places like AJ's. CONS: The negatives are mostly non-food related. Can be bonkers-crowded during weekday lunch hours, cars and parking lot are right in your face whether you are inside or outside, staff is speedy and businesslike but rather aloof, and, unfortunately, layout and overall design of the place is average-to-unappealing, and a bit uncomfortable. I may be too hard on this place, as Mediterranean fare and fusion ranks fairly low on my list, so even when it is done spectacularly well, it still doesn't stir my spirit too much. That said, I can't say that they really do anything spectacularly well here EXCEPT for those huge, amazing salads. If you're a salad kind of guy or gal, order with confidence. read more

I wish I could love this place... It's just tough. I've eaten here several times and just haven't really LOVED anything. My sandwiches have always been dry and kind of bland tasting. Salads have been ok, but I usually feel like I can make them better. Hummus - dry. Dolmades - tasted like the ones from the jar. Ahh, so sad, because it's food that I do normally love. Here is why I gave this a three- happy hour prices are good ($2 or $3 for small plates). With prices like that, I can forgive some of the food quality a bit. read more

I have never tried this wonderful restaurant before I finely went with a friend a week ago Friday and I am no totally addicted and I have only got the same dish the sizzling broiled chicken salad I have now gone back 4 times with in a weeks time I love it and the staff is so kind and very nice and attentive and worth a good tip read more

Yummy! They don't offer a traditional kabob which is disappointing but the food is delicious nonetheless! The sautéed mushrooms are amazing! Great for lunch or a casual dinner...love the art wood by carved nation.com. read more

Pita Jungle - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Pita Jungle is the Pound for Pound champion of the city. PJ packs the best food for dollar quality and quantity I know of in Phoenix. Not only is it a great place with a lot of options, but it is inexpensive. We ate there today and shared the hummus, got a cup of soup and the thousand bean hot pita and an iced tea at it was only $18. That is great for any sit down, but even a better deal because the food is awesome. The Hummus is great. Two tips - 1. ask for a mix of all 3 flavors (same price and you get a chance to try all three) and 2. Ask for an extra pita (no extra cost) - not sure why you only get one to start since you can barely finish the plate with 2 pitas. If you are in the mood for soup, I recommend the red lentil soup. It is thick and go with the cup of soup vs. the bowl. The cup is about as big as a full bowl anywhere else. The soup has just the right texture and full of flavor and my wife simply calls it "goodness." Salads are always a great choice and don't worry, you get a plate overflowing with food, too. I also go with the Thousand Bean Hot Pita. I seriously think it comes with a full 1000 beans over a bread of brown rice on a pita - very good and half the plate will fill you up. The only downer is that the place is pretty small and the parking lot is shared by other busy places, so at lunch you have to be a parking lot stalker to find a seat. It is worth the wait if there is one, but they pack their food in nice to go boxes, so take out is also a solid option. read more

Chicken Pasta Salad with extra chicken and extra dressing please! Can not forget the Jalapeno Cilantro Hummas on the side! That's usually lunch for two days or something me and my partner share with a glass of white wine. Every now and then I'll alternate with the Spinach Pasta Salad and just add the grilled chicken. Mmm... Try the Spanakopita!! Everything on the menu is lovely and the cheese they use just makes everything mouth watering. Please never go away! read more

Have eaten here twice in the past week love the grilled veggie salad love the lovosh pizza service is always wonderful read more

the food is good here and service is amazing! i got my food right away. everyone is so nice and so patient.

Needed to go to target and had never been so I thought I'd give it a try. Not even half full restaurant and most already had their food, and no one at the bar. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my one pita sandwich. Seriously considered just canceling my order a few times. Next time I feel like getting a pita I might as well go shopping for the ingredients, it's probably be faster. read more

I enjoy Mediterranean food very much. However, I was not quite impressed by the lack of food options. First, rather than offering a cucumber salad with the meal, pickles from a jar were served on the side of our meal. A very mushy rice dish was served with our cold chicken. Not so tasty. I did not see lamb on the menu. I also noticed a limited amount of meat options. No skewers or authentic Mediterranean food in the menu. While several other customers do favor Pita Jungle, I would have to say that it is not authentic nor for me. A plethora of authenticity is key to a great eatery. read more

Very disappointed with my takeout today! I ordered the chicken Shawarma Pita Bowel but the chicken inside wasn't shawarma. The chicken included with the meal was very plain, with no flavor and very dry which is disappointing because the only thing I liked at pita Jungle was the chicken shawarma pita. read more

I have been seeing a BUNCH of posts on my friend's IG feeds and the food looked amaaaazing... I decided to try it and super happy I did. Food is very reasonably priced and soooo tasty. I will def be back and will be bringing my boyfriend lol. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. The hummus is very tasty- especially the cilantro jalapeño. The major bummer is that the large hummus appetizer gives you this huge serving of hummus and only two pieces of pita. If you want more pita- you have to pay! Imagine having a large group; this can add up very quickly. The kids meals offer tasty and healthy choices and are a good value. My favs are the chicken schwarma sandwich, the red quinoa salad, the mahi mahi and the Mediterranean Chicken salad. read more

I have been eating at Pita Jungle since the original store opened in Tempe and have always been extremely pleased with the food and service, until last night. While the food was still great the service was below par. It was 6:00 pm on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was almost empty, so the issue wasn't due to a full house. Our server was a nice looking you man, not sure of his name since he didn't welcome us to Pita Jungle or offer his name. We didn't realize that we couldn't be served alcohol outside so instead providing an explanation or recommending that we move inside he just simply said "I can't serve you alcohol outside". So we ordered water and he walked away, no question of would we like a tea or a starter. When he returned with our water, I had a couple question regarding gluten free options, hopeful that he would be more engaged but was again struck with the feeling that we were a nuisance. Thankfully the support staff served us our food and were very pleasant and helpful because I was prepared to leave. I will likely not return to this location but if I do I will request a different server if he is there. read more

I rarely write reviews but the last few times we have gotten" to go "from Pita Jungle has been very disappointing. The last 3 times we got the chicken curry salad they have absolutely had no consistency...you never know what you might get..this time no dressing And filled with heavy garlic...last time missing ingredients listed... It has been a favorite...but sadly after the 3ed time being a bummer..we are done.... read more

This was my first time there, and I just have to say, not only was the view amazing, but the food was absolutely perfect... And to add to it, we had Adam as a waiter and I cannot express what a great person he was. He was absolutely friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. Thank you Adam for the wonderful experience. Pita jungle on Ray and Dobson I'll be back most definitely. read more

I've been going to Pita Jungle for years. Back when they only had one location in tempe. Great food and "okay service." You must try the lemon chicken pasta salad and banana smoothie. read more

Management contacted me sent me, apologized, talked to waitress, etc. They were great about handling the issues. So now back in love with Pita Jungle... all is right in the world. read more

I usually order Togo from this location at least once a week. Today my pita was okay. I wasn't very happy with the amount of lettuce over chicken. The parking at this location is awful! read more

Always great, fresh ingredients and big portions. Their catering services are amazing too.

My family and I decided to grab a small bite here and I can say they definitely have never let us down! We got the hummus with seared ahi tuna, probably my FAVORITE thing there, quite a big portion and filling. It was definitely worth the splurge! The costumer service there was better than I expected. This girl, I believe her name was Hadley, brought us our food, very sweet! They kept checking in to make sure everything was okay for us! Super cute and friendly place and will come back again soon!! read more

So I love Pita Jungle. But I have to give them a bad review. I ordered them through Door Dash from the location near Southern and Dobson. I ordered my typical meal, Schwarma bowl. Very Very Disappointed in the results. First off I paid over $10.00 for my meal which was worth may $3.00. The portion size of everything was so minimal, nothing like eating in the restaurant. Very Very dry because they literally added maybe a teaspoon of the tahini garlic sauce. I will never go to this location again and possibly, if I go back, stick with the Val Vista and 60 location. read more

Some people might remember the disastrous marketing fiasco that Coca-Cola created when they changed the formula for Coke without telling their customers. Pita appears to have made the same incredible mistake in changing its iced tea brand/ formula. I have eaten at this Pita many times as you can see from the number check ins, nearly 200, (this number probably only represents 1/3 of the number of times we have eaten there with friends and family). When I ate lunch there today my woodfired chicken was absolutely superb but the Iced tea was absolutely very subpar and barely met the fast food quality. I had the berry tea, it was watery, lacked flavor and provided me an bad aftertaste. I have always considered Pita a great restaurant with the analogy of a three legged stool, good service, good food and good ice tea. The one leg of the stool has just been knocked off and the stool toppled and I am going to miss Pita because I don't believe I'll be going back anytime soon until they change the iced tea back to the Passport brand which has made Pita a solid winner. There's a Fox concept restaurant opening up across the street from this Pita and they serve the Passport iced tea so I will look forward to trying that restaurant out and certainly getting my iced tea there. Pita, let me know when you decide to change back to the tea brand that has made you such a good restaurant and I will be back then. Kevin, thank you for taking the time to comment on this. I'm not interested in all of your reasons, I don't need to go online find good iced tea. You had it and now you don't, please fix the stool and get back to me. Please remove my name from your comment immediately you have no right to do this. Yelp I believe is exactly the platform for customers to report good or bad food and drink! read more

Ordered some meals for carryout, which one was a curry chicken salad. It was ridiculous just some shreds of lettuce, some chicken and basically that's it. I asked for specific things on the salad when I ordered it and all of the items were left off and it's not a cheap salad either. This is the second time in about 4 months I've order that particular salad from this Norterra location, which both have been horrible. I will not order from this location again. read more

I love this place place! I really love that it is a local spot with several locations to choose from. It has a cool, edgy feel while still feeling modern and clean. The food is amazing, I can either have a super healthy meal or indulge a bit. Definite go to for lunch or dinner. read more

Lots of healthy options with some unique Mediterranean flavors. The macro platter is a healthy choice and contains seared tofu, steamed vegetables. Beans, and rice. This local chain is worth trying read more

awful service!!! my family and I were the only table eating in the restaurant and waited almost an hour, my son literally fell asleep two employees got their food before us along with multiple online orders. the employee with an attitude problem eating her burger was talking to the other employee saying "you can go to the kitchen and cook your own food and clean your own dishes" that's literally so embarrassing. it was my first time there and it was a horrible experience. i lost my appetite when i heard her talking and stuffing her face lol what a joke, some people should not be servers. read more

holla atcha baba ganoush! omfg, LOVE this place. i hadn't been before one of the soldiers i work with said she wanted some hummus & chicken. "hummus?" says i. "i shall venture out to retrieve this prize for you, if you will man my station for the duration of my investigation of this location." anyway! i went out to grab lunch for my co-workers in the lab. as the reigning queen of indecision, i decided to get the mediterranean combo. best decision of my LIFE...well...maybe weekend. but STILL! the baba ganoush is my new fave thing! the hummus was AWEsome! they gave me a whole pack o' pitas. A PACK...they didn't even take them out of the bag. HOLLA! and i know this sounds weird, but the croquette things tasted like burritos i used to buy for like...a buck and microwave. might sound gross, but in reality, i would eat those burritos everyday if they weren't disgustingly bad for me. so BONUS! i got hummus for another soldier, he LOVED it. i heard that the gyro was to die for AND the hummus/chicken combo was DE-LI-CI-OUS. gotta get it with the lime/cilantro hummus. PLUS, i got all this for less than 40 bucks! you'll see me here again, in a t-shirt that says "baba ganoush is my homie" read more

I suppose I should sit back and relax a bit before I write this, but what the heck, right? Went to this location for dinner tonight. The food? About what we expect when we go to Pita Jungle (and we've been many times) except we USUALLY go to the location on Shea. I kinda wish we had. First, this location has a funky setup that I don't like - it's just a big box with some tables in it. Second, I had heard a rumor that the staff at this location were a bit unfriendly. I figured it was just a rumor. Based on our waitress, it's more fact than rumor. We are fans of tabbouleh, but tonight there seemed to be an abundance of parsley in the dish... We commented to our waitress and she said "What you're eating is Tabbouleh, a parsley salad"... Yeah, thanks. Um. Usually it's not so parsley-y. "It's always like that"... Well, we get it a lot, and... "I've been working here for years, and that's how it's always been"... OK. Nevermind. Enjoy your 10%. I've always enjoyed Pita Jungle, and will continue to enjoy it, just not at this location. PS - My falafel pita was just sort of meh, but you sure were prompt on filling iced teas! read more

The first couple of visits the menu might come off as a little insipid. Don't let that deter you because your tastebuds need time to detox from all of the fatty burgers you once consumed. You will soon find a menu full of dishes to feel good about. read more

This Pita Jungle does an excellent job with takeout. I can call ahead, order my food and within ten minutes, the food will be waiting for me in the front. I also enjoy the reading material waiting for me should I decide to walk in and order it instead. So I am adding this to my list of favorites for take out that gets me in and out! read more

I normally enjoy Pita Jungle, but this was our first visit to this location. I don't think we'll return. The Spanakopita was barely warm, and I had to double check that they actually used fillo dough. It certainly didn't look like it at first glance, and it did not have much of a flaky crunch. It absolutely was not worth nearly $4 for a very modest halved triangle. My sirloin with hummus was simply not appetizing- the two flavors did not marry well to my taste, and the meat was too overdone (and I was not given an option to have it rarer). The chicken with hummus and pine nuts is far superior and a dish I have enjoyed many times before. Hubby enjoyed his falafel pita well enough. His only complaint was that there was not enough tzatsiki sauce. I thought the falafel was overly crunchy and too dry on the inside, but then again, I am super picky about falafel, having spent a summer in Ann Arbor years ago, learning Arabic and eating outstanding Middle Eastern food. The service was OK, not particularly friendly, but efficient. I think this location can take a lesson or two from the East valley locations. read more

Since I moved here, everyone has been recommending Pita Jungle. I don't get it. It's fine, but not great. In fact, the worst part of my meal the first time I went was the *pita*. Ironic, no? And I am a carb person. I judge a meal by the quality of the breads in it, so the pita is important to me. It was stiff and dry and not so tasty. The inside ingredients were ok. I have eaten at MUCH better places in Phoenix. Maybe I'm not ordering the right things? I've tried a hummus wrap and a black bean burger. I'm not going to give up on Pita Jungle yet, because I still feel like everyone else is seeing (tasting) something I don't taste, but so far it's a little emperor's new clothes for me. UPDATE: I had a veggie burger, and it was decent. Enough to bump the restaurant from two to three stars, but the jury's still out. read more

I am reviewing this Arcadia Pita Jungle while anticipating the newest location opening downtown at 3rd and Roosevelt by Lola Coffee sometime very soon I hear. But also b/c I just ate at PJ today for lunch and realized I have never yelped it, how odd. I like it, I don't LOOOOVE it like some people do and that's okay--- considering, I have only had salads here it's hard to really fall in love with a place when all you've had are salads. The wraps and other items on the menus look delish, I really need to branch out more. Today's menu was the salmon salad, it was really good and really big, glad I ordered it b/c I was hungry. My only complaint is that it took really long for the bill to get to our table which normally doesn't bother me but when you need to hurry back to work, it can be annoying. The staff are friendly, I was thrown back by our server though b/c she was dressed like heading out to a brunch with her gal pals and was wearing a fedora so when she walked up to our table and asked what we wanted to drink, I was hesitant to tell her b/c I thought she was just a nosy diner. haha. All in all, I'm a fan. Seating is a bit tight, but not to worry if you go before noon. The minute we sat down at 11:55, there was a line forming out the door for a table. read more

My first experience at Pita Jungle was mediocre but my friends were raving about it. I just didn't get it. I had a veggie burger that wasn't too exciting. On the next few trips though I changed my mind. Try the hummus starter -- it's the best in all the land. You can't go wrong with a wrap or pita. I usually eat tackle the one thousand beans pita, which is a huge portion and you'll definitely have left overs. Pita Jungle is always packed. Good, friendly service. Great for take out. read more

I've been to Pita Jungle a handful of times, but this time I have found THE DISH! I had the mahi mahi with pico on top of jalapeno cilantro hummus and seasoned pita chips. Mmmmm Mmmm!!! It was delicious, filling, and a really beautiful dish. On top of that, it was not bad in calories. Yes, I know, calorie talk...YUK, but really not terrible for the amount of food you get and the taste! A must try! read more

Online ordering + spinach pasta salad with fresh mozzerella = 5 stars

For as many times as I've eaten at and taken out Pita Jungle, I probably should've had every item on the menu by now. However, their hummus trio and chicken is so DARN good, I order it nearly every single time!! You can not go wrong choosing Pita Jungle, whether it be for a casual lunch, take out, or a big dinner with friends. read more

Every plate is designed to feed one Ork or three humans. Remember this as you enjoy your Americanized joke of a Middle Eastern dish.
