Used to be one of my favorite spots in town. I thought it was the best Visalia had to offer in terms of food. Now it's not just expensive, it's super expensive and the price does not match the food quality and taste; it is not what it used to be. Not sure what happened. read more

My friend and I went for lunch around noon. Everything about it was a 10/10. We needed help with the menu and our server was really nice and explained to us how the meats were cooked and what we would enjoy the most from our preferences we shared with her. I absolutely loved the Greek salad, the sauces that came with it was delicious. I ordered a Kabob plate with lulu kabob and filet mignon with spicy humus, and pita bread and rice pilaf. I wasn't a fan of the bread but everything else was on point. My friend got the chicken shawarma and she loved it as well, she enjoyed her Greek salad and said the cheese on it was one of the best she's tasted! She ordered a spicy humus, rice pilaf, and pita chips. Pita chips were a fave for both of us! The desert was a blueberry cheesecake, and it def hit the spot! read more

I made a call before stopping by. I have my puppy with me and they said it's ok to dine at the patio with my puppy. My interaction with all the staffs was enjoyable. They are nice and polite. I ordered: Gyro fries Hummus sampler with crispy chips Mediterranean bowl with beef sharma Food was delicious. I love the crispy chips! Dressing on the salad was so sour I couldn't handle it. It's a nice place to stop by if you're in the area! Love that the patio is dog friendly. read more

Portion size is beyond five stars - gyro wrap was huge and the plate was piled high. Then again, we started with the falafel appetizer and these were bigger and tastier than what we've had elsewhere. They have quite a beer, wine and cocktail selection so everyone can find something to their liking. The place was quite busy and if you sit inside, this place gets quite loud. The patio has misters so perhaps the heat would've been tolerable if you sat outside. Great service and the food came out pretty quickly. read more

Unfortunately this review is based from service or lack of staff possibly. Our waitress told us that our food was taking over 45 min because the kitchen is working on to go orders. We sat in the restaurant for an hour. read more

Waited 1 hour for food, walked out. Food at neighboring tables looked good, unfortunately was not able to try any.

Perfect spot for a mid week lunch. My server Ezekiel was very kind and checked on my table constantly. Great service! Chicken shawarma wrap: perfectly cooked chicken, the pickles and onions evivated this meal. Highly recommend ordering all the fixings! Dolmas + tatiziki Fries were cute. Great portion! Maybe order just 1 if sharing. Will definitely come back! read more

A groups of us get together to celebrate birthdays, So I decided to throw some decorations in a bag and go for it! I arrived at PKG as they opened. I explained to the hostess that if possible I would like to go back before our party ,so I could set up a table. She got on her little ear mic and a few minutes later I was shown to the patio area . I set the table.. Thank you PKG for being so accommodating.. our Server Ryleigh ( spelling may be off) was a perfect match personality wise for our group. She was attentive, and a good picture taker. Now to the food I'm so excited the mouth watering fried cauliflower has made its way back on the menu, The jalapeño hummus and yes we ordered all 3 dipping options .. the chips , pita bread and cucumbers NEVER disappoint. It was the first time ordering the whipped cream feta .. ok I can get again! Our fit bowls , kabobs, shawarma fries and rice also didn't disappoint. Everything so rich in flavor . We ate the entire time!! Did I mention pistachio baklava? Yeah, that was the final piece to throw our belly's over the top!! If looking for a nice quant place with delicious food and good service Pita Kabob will not disappoint. read more

Review: A Triumphant Return to Pita Kabob Rating: It had been about five years since my last visit to Pita Kabob, and I'm happy to report that it remains one of the best spots in town. From the moment we walked through the door, the service was seamless; we were greeted immediately and seated within just a few minutes. The Vibe & Menu The menu strikes a great balance--large enough to offer a deep variety of Mediterranean dishes and libations without being overwhelming. We noticed a fantastic selection of drinks and settled on a few ciders, which have been our go-to lately. They were the perfect crisp pairing for the meal ahead. The Main Event: Mediterranean Pitas We decided to stick with the classics and ordered the Mediterranean Pitas: * Lamb Pita: Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. * Filet Mignon Pita: Incredibly tender and high-quality protein. Each pita was packed with flavor and offered that satisfying "fresh and crisp" crunch in every bite. The portions were spot on--filling enough to satisfy but leaving just enough room for a side. Don't Skip the Fries We couldn't leave without sharing an order of their fries. If you haven't had them, they are an absolute essential for the table. Final Verdict Five years is a long time to be away, but Pita Kabob hasn't missed a beat. Between the efficient service, the flavorful entrees, and the great drink selection, it was an amazing experience. We won't be waiting another five years to come back! read more

I just had Pita kabob for the first time on Wednesday night, and it was delicious! I got the chicken shawarma plate to go and it was phenomenal! Huge portion sizes. My friend got the spicy beef shawarma wrap and that was delicious too! Getting that the next time I come. I met one of the managers, Jason, and he was very generous! He made my friends and I feel very welcome. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and the bar is very nice. There is a back patio as well! Overall, I loved this place and their lovely staff! The food and the drinks are amazing! I can't wait to come back here! Thank you Jason for making our night memorable:) read more

Came by here to check out spots Kabob. Ordered the Mezza plate which had a number of appetizers including Baba Ganoush, Dolmas, Falafel, pickles, and pickled beets. It was very good! The service was great also. I'd love to come back at a later time and try the lamb shank it looks fabulous and I'm a huge fan. They have a great outdoor patio and a bar and the ambiance is very nice. I'm sue this place is fun on the weekend and during the summer read more

I have eaten at Pita Kabob and Grill once before. I really like the food vibe; they have a large outdoor patio as well as a dining room. It was warm today, so I opted for eating in the airconditioned dining room. We shared a couple of items including the Oriental Mezza platter and Shawarma fries. Both were very good but I especially enjoyed the Shawarma fries. Unfortunately, service wasn't the best. The restaurant was busy but they weren't full, but our server seemed to move slowly. She never checked back on us after the food was delivered. I had to flag her down to get drink refills and I had to ask a couple of times for a to go box. read more

ORIGINAL REVIEW: What an unfortunate decline this place has undergone. At one time, I considered it the best restaurant in Visalia. The quality of the meat is really what made it. But the last 3 times I've come the food has been terrible. The quality of the meat was so poor and fatty it wasn't even edible. The mushroom hummus was still good, but I've gotten ripped off at least 3 times now. So today I decide to ask the management if they made any changes in their meat supplier before I try it anymore. I was told everything has been exactly the same for the past 10 years. Definitely not true. And to boot, the hostess Jocelyn (who it took 8 seconds to even tell me what her name was) could hardly have been more rude. Ridiculously rude. And I noticed the customer in front of me was complaining extensively also. It is a shame, though. It was a nice place once upon a time. RESPONSE TO OWNER'S IMMATURE REPLY: 1) I have no crush or interest in any of your staff members. You should read some of the things you wrote about making assumptions and apply it to yourself. 2) How was my criticism not constructive? I told you exactly what the problem was, and I was fair enough to say the mushroom hummus was still good. 3) I first came to your restaurant in the first half of 2024, and the last time i ate there was at least 4 months ago. That's a total of about 2 years I was coming, the last 3 of which the food was terrible. So what you called "all those years" is no more than 2. And for your information, I DID write a positive review in 2024 after my first visit. 4) I never stated as fact that you changed your meat supplier, so you should read more carefully before you decide to respond to something. I ASKED if you did, and concluded it not true that "everything is exactly the same." "Everything" necessarily includes my experience. 5) To answer your question, the whole reason i asked for her name was BECAUSE she was so rude--not because I had a crush on her if that's what she told you. 6) So take note ladies and gentleman, I write the above review simply reporting my experience--and this is how the owner responds. And given that, you'll have to forgive me, Sir, if I can't put much stock in your word about what you did or didn't change. But we know the real reason why you posted such an unprofessional post so unworthy of a business owner. You're in love with me, but have yet to come to terms with your true feelings. (That was satire to help you see what you sound like, in case you missed it). read more

I was visiting my aunt nearby who is recovering. I thought Mediterranean food would be a healthier alternative, so I picked out some food for my family to try. The staff were friendly and helpful. While waiting for my food, I perused around the mini-grocery next door within the cafe. I didn't go in to the seating area as I ordered take-out, but the area seems clean and modern minimalist. I thought the quality of the food was pretty good. The kebabs did not come on a stick, but they were well-seasoned and juicy. The fries were also good and easy for sharing. The Mezza plate had a good variety and good for sharing, but I wish there was more pita bread provided. If I happen to come by Visalia again, I wouldn't mind returning. And if I was doing take-out, I'd make sure to bring my own disposable flatware, napkins, and plates. read more

Came here on a weekday afternoon and they got very busy during the lunch hour. The staff member was friendly but the wait was long. I ordered a falafel pita and a side of fries and told it would take 20 minutes. I got the food in about that time, However, I got rice instead of fries and had to wait another 10 minutes. I was surprised that it took that long to replace fries and unfortunately by the time I was able to eat my wrap with the fries, the wrap was cold. I was confused that they call it a "pita" when it was thinner than a tortilla used for a burrito. The pita was also missing sauce to make it more flavorful. The falafel itself was standard, and the fries were beer-battered, which I was not expecting. I'm glad you can have the to-go orders in the deli/cafe/pizzeria attached, but I was disappointed in the wait times. I found it odd that I couldn't just put a phone order over the phone either, since it meant a longer wait time to get food to-go. Not sure I would return. read more

This place is great! For a very reasonable price we had a Classic Gyro and a Chicken Lavash. The meat was flavorful - the gyro had almost too much! The lavash was a surprise - the meat was spread on the bread and grilled, resulting in a very thin layer of chicken on crispy bread. We had a pistachio baklava - delicious! read more

This is an overall review of the past several experiences at Pita Kabob. First- the food is always amazing. Great schwarma, great fries, great protein options, amazing humus and pita/chips. We crave the food. But the three stars is because of the service. No matter if there is a single customer seated when you come in (like today) or it is mostly full- you will have a wait. It makes no sense. You walk in and they immediately quote you a wait- no matter what. Today we walked in and there was literally a SINGLE customer in the dining area and yet we waited for over 5 minutes. This is common, and incredibly frustrating. The actual service once you're seated is usually fine- sometimes slow, sometimes perfect. Today was a special kind of frustration. Three of us came in in the 11am hour and we were quoted a 5 minute wait. Another customer came in and placed a 14 person to-go order while we waited. Finally, we were taking to the dining room and there was only one other table sat... why the 5 minute (that was closer to 10 minutes) wait?? My son placed an order for a pizza at the deli and they said they would bring it to us in the dining room. The rest of us got our food, and ate, and finally I walked back to the deli to see them only then pulling the pizza out of the oven... meanwhile there were only two people in the deli... so they weren't slammed. I wish they would get their act together on the front of the house because the food is unmatched, but the seating issues and inconsistent service sees us often choosing another place to eat. read more

Ordered a sandwich online the blat said no olives because I'm severely allergic also said no pickles no peppers but they put everything on it I don't know how hard it is to read a online order but it must be too hard for whoever made my sandwich thanks for almost killing me read more

FOOD- not perfect, but petty good. The Sharma is very fresh and not dried out. The CILANTRO HUMMAS is probably my favorite. Balance of smooth, rich creamy goodness with a hint of heat and cilantro. And finally, the rice is nice and bright yellow, but a good palate clenser for the next bite. BEVERAGE- many choices for a thirsty palate from far and near. You're guarantee to be buzzed away. SERVICE - excellent, enough, not not so intrusive. CLEANLINESS- bathroom is clean. Usually a good reflection of how the whole restaurant is. COMMENT- too far.from my house, but we'll worth the it. read more

I've stayed at the hotel across the street quite a few times and have wanted to try this place for awhile. There are 2 sections and I did a mobile order with the restaurant. I arrived and the food was ready to pick up. Entry area is small and I couldn't see the restaurant. So this review is only for the takeout. I got the chicken kabob plate which was a great portion. read more

The place is quiet, clean, and has no queues, and the food is delicious. The service is also fast and friendly.

We love this place and drive down to Visalia just to eat here. I usually like to try something new but this time I went with the hearty shawarma fries knowing I'd take home half of it for dinner later. I'm obsessed with the cauliflower, which I think is a seasonal special right now. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio where we received great service. Inside seating is also great, but louder. There is also a bar area. They always have great beer, large variety on tap and in cans. Highly recommend Pita Kabob & Grill. read more

Everything! Great restaurant and service, tasted like the Greek food I ate in Greece. I especially loved the hummus.

How this place doesn't have a Michelin star is beyond me. 10/10. Every food item I have gotten on this menu has been packed with flavor, and not to mention the portions are huge. Service has always been exceptional here. Their outdoor seating area is decorated cute and has a very welcoming atmosphere. Their chicken kabob plate was cooked perfectly. I personally like their garlic sauce, and the cilantro lime hummus with the Greek salad. Their shawarma fries are also a must! Whenever people ask me what places to go in Visalia, I always recommend this place. They also recently started to add cocktails/mocktails to the menu. I got the Lebanese mule, I personally did not enjoy the drink. However it could just be an acquired taste:) Will be returning! read more

Altogether great lunch with friends. read more

The food itself is always, and I mean ALWAYS great. Rich flavors, good portions, just delish. The service though is meh. Sometimes its fine, other times is so, so bad. Not refilling drinks, staggered food drop offs, not busing tables when they really need it, etc. I got there early when meeting some friends and tried to order a dessert for my friend to be brought out at the end of our meal since it was her birthday and they made it all awkward and brought it out, packaged to go before we even ordered dinner. Gah. Be careful when getting to go orders. My husband picked up some takeout for us one night and when he got home, the sauces were missing (tahini and garlic -- the best parts of the meal!). I reached out to let them know and they were very cold about it and acted like I was lying or something. They said if I came down with the receipt, they would issue a refund (but of course my husband lost it -- and also who is going to make a special trip downtown just for that?). I asked if maybe they could offer a coupon for our next visit to make things right, and they said its on the customer to check the to-go orders before leaving. Um ok, but why are we supposed to be double checking YOUR employees work. Sigh. Especially if everything is already bagged up and packed when picking it up -- what are you supposed to do? Take it all out on the check in counter? I didn't even really care about the lost money, it was just weird how aggressive they came off. Who would go through all this trouble to lie about getting a free sauce or something lol. Such a bummer. We still go back, but I'm not in love with them any more. read more

Amazing!!! Jason and Ximena were great! Food and drinks were delicious. Drinks were well done.

After a long day visiting the nearby National Parks we were very hungry and PK didn't dissapoint! Kira was our amazing server and worked especially hard to get our dinners and drinks in due to our late arrival. I had a Chicken Kabob Plate and my wife had the Hummus Pita. Both were filling and delicious and accompanied by 2 craft beers really hit the spot! PK was the perfect end to an amazing day! read more

Every time I come to Visalia for work this is on my top 3 places to eat. Service is great, there's even a bar in the back with TV's it's a great vibe honestly. My favorite thing on the menu in the shawarma fries (I think that's what they are called). A crispy fry loaded with so many toppings I can eat them everyday. I judge a mediterranean restaurant by how good their rice is, here it's a 8.8/10 read more

Pita Kabob and Grill (aka PK) was one of the best restaurants during our visit to Visalia. It has the feel of a large gastropub attached to an outside beer garden and grocery store. Mediterranean cuisine is one of our favorite cuisines. No reservations accepted - so just show up! The portions are ginormous. I got the combo lamb kabob and lulu, which is a sausage version of beef-lamb gyro meat. One entree easily feeds two and the meats were so juicy. The sweet potato hummus was novel and great with a subtle hint of sweetness. Wife got the beef kabobs, which were still juicy despite cooked medium well. Salad, pita, and rice pilaf were all excellent sides. For the kids, you can't go wrong with chicken kabobs with pita and fries. Greek and Mediterranean restaurants seem to crank out amazing fries for some reason - long, thicker cut and crispy. Maybe its because you have so many different dipping options besides ketchup. The chicken is slightly peppery, so watch out. read more

Incredible restaurant! Came all the way from Florida for some of the California hiking and this place was wonderful. Very reasonable prices for a large amount of food. Each plate was very tasty and prepared to perfection. A very good representation of middle eastern especially Lebanese cuisine. Service was excellent and staff was incredibly friendly. Restaurant has outdoor seating which was wonderful for a summer night ambiance. Highly recommend taking a trip here. We will definitely be returning! read more

Super nice service from the girls at the togo counter Friday night. They gave us advice on the menu and their recommendations, along with fun conversations while we waited. Delicious food choices and we're happy with our dinner choices. The jalapeño cilantro hummus was very good! The gyro had a very good amount of meat in it. One down side was that they do have a sign at the to go counter explaining how the staff can make mistakes, and to double check your togo order before leaving the restaurant. We did, and noticed that our cheesecake wasn't in the bag. They went back and got it and we were on our way. After we arrived back to our hotel, we noticed the pita bread for both steak plates were missing. So nothing to dip for the hummus. This was really sad because this was a cheat meal for 2 in our party who had been doing carnivore for many months. So missed out on food there and technically money since we paid for something we didn't receive. So didn't enjoy that as a whole since togo orders have declined at EVERY establishment I go to now. So that's the reason for the 4 stars vs. the 5. It would be nice to be reimbursed some for the loss, but at this point we aren't holding our breath. Lastly, the pilaf rice seemed undercooked and a bit flavorless. read more
