No parking around there, they have 3 spots and 2 spots were taken by the employees. No menu, the 3 TV's that show the menus were not working. Had to ask twice for the cucumber sauce and they gave 2 small(about a quarter in diameter). Fries tasted like they were cooked in bad oil. The meat was okay. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall, but that's a good sign. Seating for 13 but only tables for 10; the extra 3 are for those waiting, I suppose. First things first, the fries are excellent-- they are dusted with something before frying, maybe a light cheese. I would have guessed panko if this wasn't Greek food. I'm not sure, but it makes them different and it makes them tasty! On to the gyro. It was surprisingly hotter (temperature, not spice) than expected. Especially since it had been sitting a couple minutes while I was munching on fries. I would prefer if the pita were slightly toasted (not the case here), but overall the gyro was pretty good. I'm not convinced that the gyro meat is sliced...it looked a little processed to me, but I'd still come back and eat another. On to the Baklava. Comes with four pieces which is more than I need, but this is food for the Gods, so I'm not complaining. And it leaves three more pieces for a midnight snack later. Worth a visit in itself. Overall a great experience. Cheap eats, delicious food. I've had better gyros elsewhere, but the food here holds its own. read more

I wasn't sure about Pita King, looks a little sketch, however those are usually the best kind of places. Turned out their 4 1/2 star rating was spot on. Their chicken had amazing flavor and their fries were perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken pita comes with a very good Tzatziki sauce. However I did not like the raw onions, I think it would have been better if they were grilled. read more

It's official! Pita King is in the houuuussssee!!! Aka the Seward neighborhood. With a fresh coat of paint they are now ready for action. I was trying to figure out what to eat for dinner Friday night and remembered this gem that is now in its 5th month of operation. I walked the block and a half to order a chicken shawarma with fries and baklava. It took about 7-10 minutes waiting and then my to-go order was served. They have space for about 8-10 people but my dog was waiting at home soooo priorities. I opened up my box at home and found a delicious basket of perfectly crisp fries along with my nicely cut into two portions. If I hadn't been the ravenous person I was, I might have saved leftovers. The chicken was deliciously seasoned with a solid amount of tahini sauce (my fav). I didn't detect any cucumbers but there were tomatoes and lettuce included. It was sooooooo good. I ate it all and two pieces of the baklava which were deliciously prepared and had pistachios crumbled on top. For a girl who LOVES Holy Land, this is a nice spot to have so close by. My total order was around $11 but you can easily spend less by just getting the sandwich or pita. And with their late hours, it's good pre night out food as well. I can't wait to go back and try the falafel. read more

Got takeout. By the time we got home, fries were soggy. Meat tasted like something you'd buy in a store. Just didn't take homemade. Baklava was amazing though! read more

Worst gyro and hummus I have ever had. It was like eating a gyro with lunch meat in it and no flavor. Very disappointing. This place used to be good. read more

Back in the 80's this place was a ice cream location. So I just happen to stop in for a Philly Cheesesteak and fries, plus Baklava. Ummm Ummm everything was very good. I ordered mine to go and it just took a few minutes. I will definitely come back for more food here. I love the bread on my sandwich and the dessert was sooo delicious and filling. Only thing I wanted to add was a few hot peppers to my sandwich, which they didn't have. And the staff was super friendly with a smile. read more

Pita King - Greek Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This has to be the smallest kitchen in Minneapolis! You can see the Pita King chef doing his creating in this old ice cream stand location. There's Pita King parking by the building, if you can't find a spot on the street. The gyro was huge! And tasty, too! The space is very limited so you will want your order to go & find a nice picnic spot to enjoy it! read more

Get the chicken shawarma....all of it....it's amazing. I like Wally's as a close second but I think Pita King is the best. Also the tabbouleh, the stuffed grape leaves and baklava are outstanding. I'd say it's ideal for takeout or delivery, not much in the way of seating inside. read more

I've been here a few times now- I've had the gyro (great) chicken platter (yum) and Chicken shawarma with fries: It's well-seasoned shawarma, but the veggies were honestly pretty over-cooked on this one. To be fair, I walk home with the food every time, so the heat probably processed the vegetables a bit longer, since it's foil-wrapped tightly in pita (with tahini). The French fries are really great and crisp, with a salty/sweet seasoning. It's cheap, and plentiful Middle Eastern and American selections- Friendly people at the counter, too. Highly recommended! read more

I was driving by and decided to stop in because I hadn't seen it before -- I'm so glad that I did! This place is amazing. The food, of course, is good, but more than anything, I appreciated the hospitality! The lady who took our order greeted us with a big bright smile. After we ordered, they actually gave a complimentary taster of baklava, which totally made our day. The portions are great, the prices are low, and the hospitality is amazing. Am excited to stop at the Pita King anytime that I'm in the neighborhood! read more

A hole in the wall. If you have craving for gyros, falafel or philly steak, you should drive (or walk if you are in the neighborhood) and grab a great tasted meal. Definitely another round for me to this place soon. read more

I have lived the Pita King for a long time, but it must have changed owners. The food was awful. The falflafels were the size of a small walnut, the meat was not the type that was carved off the spit like it use to be , it was prefab pressed meat that I could have bought in a kit at the grocery store and the Hummus is made from a powered mix, bland and tasteless. I do not think this is because of Covid folks, something has really changed here. Most of the Menu is American fried foods, so I should have taken this as a warning Very sad to say I will not be going back read more

Huge portions for only $6.99! I got the gyro with fries and I can definitely share it with my fiancé. Delicious and right around the corner from our apartment. Will be going back for sure. The owner and his son we pleasant. I'm happy! read more

Pita King - Mmmm all these hot wings and fries for only $6.99!! I love this corner joint! - Greek Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is my second time here at this unpretentious stand (at the site of the old Franklin Freeze which reopened in partnership with Pita King). The food is ample and delicious served cheerfully and quickly by Louie and his family (Palestinians who were living in Jordan I believe). The gyros were juicy and flavorful as were the falafel. The falafel sandwich is my current favorite. I hate dried out falafel. These were moist and filled up the pita roll well. Even the fries were tasty and flavorful. There are picnic tables and ample parking. Plus, you can get an ice cream for dessert (if you have room!) read more

Pita King - the outside of a restaurant - Greek Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Under new ownership and I think it is now known as Seward Grill. It was REALLY good. The hummus was creamy, the rice had a great flavor and the sambousa was delicious. Everything was made to order and I can't wait to go back. Let's support a locally owned business and give this place a try, if you haven't already. read more

Pita King is my neighbor and has been for 3.5 years. The ownership must have switched because the food is awful now. Before, they homemade almost everything (most importantly the falafel was homemade and fried fresh, and the gyro meat cooked on the rotating thing & sliced off). Not anymore. We got a gyro platter and a falafel platter (the falafel platter isn't on the menu and we had to ask multiple times to make one - It's literally the gyro platter but with falafel instead!). The gyro is all pre-made, frozen and warmed up on a grill (it was perfectly shaped, no rough edges). The falafel were super small (they were really big before) and were clearly bought pre-made in large batches then re-fried. The little salad they included was completely doused in cheap thousand island dressing. The rice may have been made by hand, but wasn't very good. To top it all off, the hummus is POWDERED! They use a powder and put water and oil on it (vegetable oil, definitely not olive oil). I'm sad that we lost the old Pita King. It wasn't perfect before, but they had amazing gyro, falafel, and homemade tabouli (they don't give tabouli at all now). Now all of this is cheap, highly processed ingredients I could get at any regular grocery store for less than half the price. I won't be spending my money here again. read more

Simple shop, nice service, great gyros!! Highly recommend. Don't forget all the delicious sides

Good food for reasonable price. Portions were large and left me feeling satisfied after a Gyro and Fries. Food was super fresh and fries were hot. Philly cheese steak was one of the finer we've had. read more

Pita King is the place to go if you are craving a taste of middle eastern food. They are very authentic and genuine. I love the customer service they offer. I come here at least once a week because it's convenient and right down the road from me. Highly recommend! read more

Pita King - menus on the wall above the counter - Greek Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Definitely worth a stop in! Great for what it is - a little food shack on Franklin. Their falaffal and chicken sharma were really good. One of the best baklavas I've ever had. Customer service has always been friendly and personable. Plus it's cheap, especially for the amount of food you get! Would definitely recommend. read more

No, this is not a 5 star place by any stretch of the imagination, though perfectly serviceable. If you're in the neighborhood and need a gyro fix, it's not bad. read more

Pita King's food is delicious and fresh, and the people who run it are lovely. The prices can't be beat. Gyros, falafel, and fries are our favorites, and the baklava should not be missed. We are so glad they're nearby! read more

This place is not kept cleaned as it should be. No customer service or service at all. Poorly manage restaurant with Sysco frozen processed meat servings. read more

Omg... this restaurant looks like a small shop of bakery but it has vide variety of items to choose with. Price is very inexpensive and I grabbed chicken wings and fries for seven dollars and amount of food was so huge that I had half for lunch and half for dinner... food was so delicious and it's right on corner of my street and whenever I feel hungry, I am just walking down to this place read more

This place is wonderful! The falafel is to die for. And this is coming from someone who loves meat and wouldn't normally even try the falafel. Also, the guys who work here are friendly, helpful (they gave a good recommendation of where to eat by the river), and just straight up awesome! Thanks guys! Highly recommended! read more

This is a great spot for quick, yummy, reasonably-priced food like sandwiches and sides. My husband and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and a hummus plate. The friendly couple were so generous, giving us complimentary baklava and falafel as well! Very kind people. Would visit again to try the kofta kabob, which I believe is one of their most popular items. read more

A true hidden gem in Minneapolis. Highly recommend! They are not only quick, but reasonably priced and quite tasty! I almost always order the chicken bowl and am never disappointed. I've also tried their Gyros and have been very impressed. read more

We stopped in on a weekday night when it was raining so hard many streets were flooded...which meant no one was out and about, which was good because there's room for about 10 people to dine in here. It's more of a takeout menu and they have a slim menu that covers all the basics: a gyro sandwich, kebab/chicken platters, falafels, hummus/baba ganoush, and delicious baklava. Their fries are also delicious and seem to be double fried with some seasoning on top - worth getting as a side! read more

Love the place. Great value, service and consistency. My favorite is the chicken kabob platter.

Generous portions for the price! Gyro is the best but every time I go back the fries and wings taste different. I think it depends In the cook. Overall great place for cheap eats! read more

I discovered this place a week and a half ago and I'm embarrassed to say that I've returned almost every day since. Food is fantastic, big portions and inexpensive. The chicken shawarma is my favorite. Baklava is also very good. The only bad thing I have to say is that they are closed on Sunday. read more
