At the time of this review (10-17-16) Pita Kitchen recently opened in the Arrowhead part of Glendale in the strip mall with Safeway. This is a casual Mediterranean-Greek Restaurant where you order at the counter, pick up a table number and seat yourself. They have booths , tables and a few outdoor tables. The restaurant was nice and neat looking. Everything looked clean. We shared the Mediterranean Sampler (2 Falafels, 2 Dolmas, Baba Ghanoush, Hummus, Tabouli, Pita Bread) and the Two Meat Plate (Chicken Kabob, Steak Shawarma, Rice, Greek Salad ((humus is an option)), Pita Bread) So we tried quite a bit of the menu..... Very Good overall! Falafels were the crunchy meatball style and were herbed, hummus was creamy with lots of lemon. Pita bread was hot and seemed like fresh made. Chicken Kabob was seasoned and was tender and juicy. Steak Shawarma had nice flavor and was tender. I liked everything except the Baba Ghanoush....it was creamy and I liked the hint of smoke in it but for me it didn't have enough eggplant in it and also was made with too much tahini...but that's my taste and yours may differ. Service was much better than I would expect from this kind of place. The cashier also ran plates to the tables and opened the door for people. We were also checked on a few times. It's so great that a good place opened in this area! This place will be in my rotation. P.S. I Checked in on Yelp and got 25% my bill....Woo hoo read more

I don't live in AZ, but last time I visited Glendale I happened upon Pita Kitchen, mainly because it's beside Safeway (Arrowhead). It was a wonderful discovery. I went again today, and the experience was equally amazing. The food is fresh and each item on my schwarma plate was bursting with flavor. There was enough to share and still have some later as a snack! The people were very gracious and friendly, and nothing could have made my experience better I ordered takeout, but the restaurant was very clean and would be nice to eat in. I will make eating at Pita Kitchen a priority each time I am in the area, and spread the word to everyone I know in the Glendale area! read more

Pita Kitchen - Arrowhead - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Whenever I'm home in Glendale I HAVE TO pick up food from here. I always order same plate: chicken kabob, beef kabob, rice, hummus, salad and of course a side of falafel. Sometime I splurge and throw in a baklava. Everything is always so fresh and yummy. read more

I've been here four times and every time I come in never disappointed with the food. However this time the cashier working the front was a bit impatient. I wasn't even done ordering and she cut me off to tell me the total. Once I finally finished ordering she went to grab my card when I was paying with cash....I'm sorry when do the cashiers start reaching over to grab your debt card when it's still inside your phone wallet. That is why I only gave 4 stars; every-time I come a bring someone with me but this time the device was not as well as I would hope it to be. But to focus on the food, that was delicious just the right amount of spices and ingredients to the food. The chicken shawarma was delicious. My sister had the Chicken kabobs plate and she said it was good; I asked if it was dry she said no. It look juicy and the sauce they use I love. I won't lie it's a bit of a drive but the taste of the food is well worth it and they serve coke products (fountain) which is a huge plus. Total came out to $38 bucks not to bad for great food and good portions. read more

Expensive and dont get much food anymore for the price, few pieces of gyro meat. Disappointing because it used to be great

Great food, huge portions. It seems to be an Assyrian family owned restaurant; they're all very sweet and quick to help you if something is wrong. The restaurant itself is very well kept. Plenty of open seating, clean tables/ chairs, relaxing music and nice decorations. Highly recommend this restaurant read more

The food was on point, generous and perfectly seasoned. I ordered $100 worth of food for three through GrubHub, including a couple sides, and I will do it again in a heartbeat. read more

Food quality has severely waned! Unfortunate b/c we used to eat here every week!prices keep increasing, but portions and service decrease! If you are going to serve less which btw is good for the waistline, charge accordingly! Some of us eat normal size meals...don't always need leftovers! read more

This place is by far my favorite place to eat in the area. They have really great food, I get the steak plate with rice and salad! Not only is it great, it's CONSISTENTLY good! They're on top of their game when it comes to the food and super friendly customer service! If you're looking for a solid place to eat with a good variety on their menu, give this place a try; you won't regret it! read more

Pita Kitchen - Arrowhead - Steak Shwawarma Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Had not been to Pita Kitchen in over a year. There menu has changed. They use to have salmon on their menu. No more. I went for the Chicken Shawarma Pita and there Greek fries. The chicken was over cooked and so dry it was hard to swallow. The fries have feta cheese a some parsley. They were too greasy for my tasts buds. I ate maybe half of the pita and a few fries. Hate throwing away food but this lunch was a disaster. There are lots of mediterranean resturants in the area. I will not be going back. read more

Wow, I don't understand how the reviews are so high here. 1) Food quality -- very dense, almost gummy falafel. This often happens when the restaurant uses canned chickpeas instead of dried. I'd be curious to know if that's the case here, or if something else is wrong with their falafel preparation. Hummus tastes of mayo, not tahini. Gross. Salad dressing, purportedly homemade, had a terrible flavor. This is so disappointing to anyone who realizes how easy it is to make a fresh herb vinegarette. I wouldn't know how to make one this bad. Salad -- okay flavor, nothing special. My onions were not dusted with sumac like in the pictures. Someone else mentioned they make their own pita. They do not. The quality of the pita bread itself was better than most places though, I have to give them that. 2) Cashier was not wearing her mask. In conclusion, I threw out my entire $14 plate after a few bites. It was that bad! read more

Excellent restaurant! So clean, well managed, and beautifully maintained. The food was fresh and well portioned and that chicken....... So lemony and delicious. You can actually watch them making the fresh pita from the counter. Highly recommend if you want a great restaurant in the Arrowhead area. read more

This is our go to place for take out. The food here is good. It's healthy. I love their salmon greek salad with feta cheese and hummus. I've been to many different Mediterranean restaurants and this is definitely our favorite. read more

A simple-looking, nondescript place in a strip mall. I assumed it would be just your average generic, just-ok Greek food. I was wrong, it's really fantastic and well above average. My wife and I loved everything we had. For those who choose a vegetarian diet, they had an excellent roasted eggplant/veggie pita. Most places think a "vegetarian" plate is just the same stuff in all the other plates without the meat, so it was nice to see someone put specific effort into a great veggie meal. Pair it with some jalapeño hummus for a great tasty kick. The hummus and babaganoush are both really great. Service is super friendly, and pretty quick. You order at a counter and they bring it out to you. Unlike most places that serve like that, people still come around and see if you need anything. read more

For fast-casual Med type food, I really can't find a complaint with Pita Kitchen. The dining room is comfortable, service is always welcoming- I really feel at home whether I'm dining in or doing carry-out, the food is well seasoned and well prepared and the prices are right. Food is prepped to order so don't expect fast-food type speeds, but do expect well above average quality. Once in awhile I do shake my head at the cover versions of popular songs on the speakers while I'm dining, which is akin to being stuck in a Grey's Anatomy episode, but that's not keeping me away because the garlic sauce drowns that out anyhow. I'm a regular here and it'll stay that way. read more

Best Greek food anywhere! Friendly service. Great ambience. I love Pita Kitchen! Highly recommend if you've never tried it.

I love the food. The chicken kabobs are always juicy and the seasoning is the best. I can't get enough of their garlic sauce. The cilantro jalapeño hummus is also delicious. The only negative is, I always do carry out and have something missing and it's not convenient to go back , so check your order before you leave . read more

I absolutely love this place. Their steak pita (not gonna attempt the sherama word ‍) is fabulous. They have the BEST Greek fries and garlic sauce. There were no seats available however the girl who checked me out found one and cleaned it up for me Oh yeah join the club. They send you 20% off texts they come in handy read more

Food and service was ok. Nothing authentic about this establishment. Nothing like pita inn

I absolutely love this place! It's definitely our go to place for healthy, delicious food. I wish they still sold their whole wheat pitas, that's the one thing I am missing, but their chicken shawarma, Greek salad and cucumber tomato salad are amazing! My hubby loves their gyro sandwich and Greek fries. Overall, a delicious and healthy place to go! read more

The food was not fresh at all and they lie they said it's cooked the same day. I don't recommend this place. read more

Pita Kitchen - Arrowhead - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I eat here at least twice a week. Everything in the menu is scrumptious. My go to is the shawarma, chicken or beef. Perfect size falafel. The cilantro hummus is scrumptious and yummy. I have tried everything on the menu and love that they are fast. Always polite and make orders to your specified request. read more

I've been here several times and tried different things on the menu, but TODAY, wow, I've found the item I will be eating here forever!!!! The Chicken Ka-Bob Plate which comes with two sides. My recommendation is the hummus and the salad. I like my dressing on the side and the plate was served to perfection today. The chicken was slightly charred, and juicy on the inside with magnificent flavors. Literally the BEST I've had in any Mediterranean Pita place, the hummus comes with sliced pita bread which was good too. Also, if you check in on the Yelp, they give you 10 percent of your ticket. Plate w a glass of water was about $14. The only problem is that the Ka-bobs take a few extra minutes to cook, but totally worth the wait. Cashier was friendly and got my order correct. Easy 5 star meal. Thx read more

Pita Kitchen - Arrowhead - Chicken Ka-bob Plate. Delicious - Mediterranean Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Wanted to first say that love supporting the local restaurants here in this plaza. We enjoyed coming to Pita Kitchen for our Mediterranean style cravings and even had a birthday luncheon with friends here. Also loved the delivery service. Great food, normally always fresh and timely. Tonight's experience however was unpleasant. Ordered the chicken kabob and beef plates. Our go to dishes. The food came out after 20 minutes including after other patrons who ordered after us got their food first. Secondly, the beef was borderline warm to cold and chicken was actually raw. My wife who is nursing our newborn thought it tasted funny and I confirmed. The chicken was refrigerator cold. Informed the cashier and the cook(s) heated the items some more and brought it back out. At this point, we lost trust in the quality of the food and didn't want to risk mom or baby getting sick. Very disappointed. What stings is they did not offer an apology for the uncooked kitchen. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

We have ordered twice from this place. Each time the wrap comes back super soggy and the kabob plate is dry. The serving sizes are large on a positive note. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

We love this place! It's our weekend go-to take out place. The gyro plate is great, & definitely try the baklava

Yummy food and great for take out. I tried the lamb special and it was so delicious. Greek salad with extra feta please!!

best greek fries in the whole world i'm a teenager and this is my top choice hangout spot. i literally think about these fries daily and have come back twice in the span of a few days. the staff is also super nice! read more

Food is quick and delicious. Highly recommend giving them a try!. Everything is always great.

I absolutely love their chicken kabob salad! It is a little pricey but it is rather large and the ingredients are so fresh, I don't mind.

Kinda pricey. Food doesn't come fast. I thought the gyro had decent flavor. Saw the health score on here and will most likely NOT return... read more

Very good Greek food. Gyros, and plates are absolutely fantastic. The beef skewer and grilled chicken plate is beyond incredible. We come here often and it never disappoints. Highly recommend. read more

The atmosphere was clean and fun. The food was good but I've had better sandwiches. They were nice to accommodate us a little before closing. read more

Edited to add the grilled veggies are delicious, always choose them as one of my sides. My in laws had the salmon platter, and salmon bowl with grilled veggie base tonight, and they loved it. Writing this as I finish the baklava, which is also tasty. read more

Stop by over here after taking a test. Not too busy around lunch time. The line was quick. Waitress was friendly and nice. I ordered the chicken shawarma Pita meal without any additional sides. Price was $7.46. I chose the garlic sauce to go on the pita. Overall it tasted pretty good and the chicken was not too dry. I also tried the appetizer, the egg roll dish. Extremely good and better with the tzatziki sauce that comes with it. Also tried the baba ganoush. Really good and tasty dip. Environment is pretty spacious and clean. Restroom was clean as well. And parking is convenient as it's in a plaza area read more

This place is KILLER!!! Super good food. Had the Gyros and Chicken bowl. Blew me away with the variety of items and how great it tasted. This place is a home run. read more

Traveling and was looking was something healthy. So glad we went to Pita Kitchen. The service and food was amazing. Everything tasted so fresh and absolutely delish! The service was really nice and friendly as well. read more

The pita shells and chicken were so dry, and the sauce was some kind of strong mustard taste I couldn't finish it. The fries were good.

Not sure if they are under new management or what happened but the food is not longer good. Forty dollars work of terrible dry chicken and that was just for 2 people. Ended up eating a bowl of cereal read more
