I had just finished a soak at Sat7even (btw, if you have not tried that yet,you are missing out) and it was lunchtime. I walked over to one of my favorite food trucks, Pita Paradise. The Chicken Swarma sandwich called my name. I cannot believe how fast the service is here. It's so fast, you might think the food would suffer, but you're wrong. The Chicken is tender and the pita was stuffed so full, I folded it open and ate it with a fork. It was a nice day and I enjoyed my lunch watching the world go by on 20 the & H. It has an outside cafe vibe that I find pleasant. The Fox theater is nearby and the main fire station is right across the street. Being a food truck you don't get amenities like a washroom. The sandwich is juicy and I always seem to make a mess. But this is nothing a towelette in the glove box can't fix. If you're looking for tasty Mediterranean food at reasonable prices, and you're downtown, you can't go wrong with Pita Paradise. read more

I left Bakersfield 2 years ago and still think of the food truck. They also had a great restaurant.

I appreciate this food truck for rescuing us from mundane meals. The gyro wraps are so good and tasteful. The food is made fresh so it may take a little long, but it definitely worth the wait. The food truck has a little sitting area outside, the location is generally busy since it's downtown. Have returned several times. read more

Pita Paradise attended a food truck event at my work today so I decided to give it a shot. Staff was super friendly and the prices were really reasonable, had no issue with that. Portion size is great, there was plenty of food to fill me up and everything was pretty good. I had the Paradise combo so I could try a little bit of everything. The chicken and lamb were phenomenal, the beef was a touch dry but not too bad. The rice was really tasty and the falafal was really good sized and tasty. I ordered some garlic sauce on the side and I'm not too sure about that. I don't know if they gave me the wrong sauce or their garlic sauce is just lacking but I didn't like it. No smell of garlic, no taste of garlic it was just bland whatever they gave me. I didn't enjoy that sauce at all and that was unfortunate because there was some on my meat and I paid for a side of it as well just to not like it at all. It was still overall a good experience and I'll definitely eat there again if I'm around their location. read more

Food is very tasty and they're very friendly! It's a little food truck on the corner of the street but you can easily find parking and they also have a sitting area if you wish to eat there. The sauces are very good and portions are perfect! read more

Food is still great! Friendly service and quick Prices are high but everyone is jumping on the bandwagon! Sad Food is really good Prices should reflect the fact that they don't have much overhead in a food truck. Still definitely recommend for the taste. read more

Pita Paradise - Menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Let me start by saying - the customer service is phenomenal! I messaged the restaurant on Instagram asking about whether or not the hummus has pine nuts in it (for allergy purposes) and they got back to me right away to confirm that it doesn't and that they don't fry in peanut oil (yessss!) (They did warn that their food contains sesame, so please be cautious if you have a sesame allergy!) I decided to try them out and OH MY GOODNESS is their food yummy! My coworkers and I ordered through Doordash and we had our food in our hands in about 25 minutes! (And that was food for 6 people!) I was impressed at the speed, especially since this is a food truck! The chicken shawarma was delightful and the falafel might have been the best I've tried in town! I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and got a side of hummus for my table to share. The platter was a generously filled plate of food - I couldn't even finish my rice! The platter came with chicken, rice, salad, one falafel, some kind of yummy sauce, and a pita bread cut into nice little pieces. One of my favorite parts of this plate was the little fried pita bread crouton things on the salad... They were so yummy! While the food is a *little* on the pricier side, it's 100% worth every penny! Give them a try! read more

The best gyro from a food truck! I was looking for a healthy option for lunch today, so I decided to order the Mixed Lamb & Beef Gyro Pita. Mmm, so good! With so much meat, veggies, and garlic sauce, you can't complain! Order that with a side of garlic fries, and you are all set. (I would've included photos of my food, but I was so hungry and the food was delicious. I just could not wait!) The customer service was on par, and of course the price could not be beat. Especially when you sign up to be a VIP member through their Facebook page. I scored a BOGO pita deal today. Will definitely be back! read more

One of my favorite Mediterranean places to eat in Bakersfield. The chicken shawarma sandwich, paradise fries, and chicken shawarma plate, are all amazing. Every time I call in my order they ask how long it takes me to get there, even if I say 5 minutes my order will be ready and I love that. Especially when you're on a rush. read more

I love Pita Paradise, but lately when I go eat they forget to put hot sauce on my food. Which I have repeatedly asked them to do on the phone and in person, but the last two times I've arrived back to work and see that they didn't add it again. Unfortunately I can't drive back and ask for aisle since I get back to work with 15 min to spare. This actually happened today again, and its super disappointing since I know that the truck is now being run by someone else, the customer service is defiantly different. I only eat out once a week when at work so when I choose Pita Paradise and it's not made how I ordered it's disappointing. Have not had any issues with my food being made wrong anymore. Just thankful that the food is still amazing keep up the great work! read more

Hands down one of THE BEST falafel sandwiches I have ever had. When I ordered my food I asked for hummus on the sandwich, the gentlemen helping me suggested I try Arabic style and I'm so happy he did. The seasoned salad they throw on top is so good. Falafel had so much good flavor and were moist and the sauces were also so flavorful. You have to give this a try. read more

I tried Pita Paradise when they first started here around 2014-15 and absolutely loved it but forgot since I moved back to Bakersfield. Just remembered it randomly last week (lol) and looked them up and they were still around. Have had food from here twice in the past week and it was awesome. Food is absolutely delicious and the quality of ingredients is on point. Their paradise pitarrito sandwich is a monster, calling it sandwich is unfair actually. It's a platter in a pita bread. My mouth is watering while writing this and I just had their food last night lol. Try it. read more

Expensive but worth it. I think the pita chicken sandwich is crave worthy. I loved the sauces they offer as well! It's a food truck, but they do have very limited seating. I love it here, and will definitely want to order more food. read more

Well I went back for more of Pita Paradise's Delicious food. I was in the mood for a salad and wanted their tasty lamb/beef. They happily made their #2 dish Keto for me. All the yumminess of the lamb/beef with the scrumptious garlic sauce. Friendly and gracious service again I highly recommend them! read more

Food is always great. Taste is amazing with different flavors and textures. Can't get enough of that tahini sauce. Service was great. Very friendly and if you feel lost, they're happy to help.

Super fast and delicious gyros made however you like it. Please come try it out I'll be pissed if this truck ever closes.

Looking for a catering option for a work dinner. I called and talked to mohammad we liked over the options, put together our order, and it was super easy. He didn't up sale me and told me exactly what I needed for our 30-40 person event. Food was delivered on time and it was delicious. Everyone loved it. Super easy and would recommend!!

Pita Paradise - Chicken shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The perfect lunch spot hands down. I had the chicken shawarma pita and I kid you not it was ready in 2 minutes! The service was phenomenal!!!! Price is reasonable and affordable! The food truck also has a couple parking spots in the lot so no need to worry about parking downtown! The food was delicious, the chicken is seasoned to perfection! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu lol read more

Food is meh. I was recommended this place and finally got around to trying it. I ordered the falafel platter and was very underwhelmed. The falafel was super dry, rice was bland and dry, pita bread tasted store bought, and the salad serving was so small. The garlic sauce was also bland. My partner ordered the paradise combo and I really didn't think it could taste worse. Save your money and hit up Sultans, better taste and servings. read more

I ordered chicken sharwma platter & garlic fries. Paid $20 The food was not worth the $20. Disappointed will not return or recommend. Thank You read more

I enjoy the food overall but recently we have had some issues when requesting extra hot sauce. First time we asked for extra they placed it in the side but didn't include any hot sauce in my falafel sandwich. Asked for extra sauce the next time and had some inside the sandwich and on the side which was great. Today when we asked for extra they decided to put a ridiculous amount of hot sauce which made the sandwich soggy by the time I got back to the office (about 30 minutes after receiving my order). This is very disappointing as my partner and I usually visit Pita Paradise at least once every other week. read more

Food was generous and delicious. He said two minutes and it was ready at two minutes! We were looking for a place downtown Bakersfield and my companion suggested Pita Paradise. We ordered two lamb and beef mixed pitas, with lettuce, tomato onion and tahini. When he offers the chili sauce...take it. read more

Always tasty and always quick! Friendly service and great location. One of my favorite go-to food trucks for a quick lunch downtown.

The service was quick. The food was good, although felt like it was lacking diversity of flavor. Probably should have ordered a side of hummus. The falafel was fried perfectly, but the rice and pita were fairly boring. The salad was great. read more

Love grabbing food from the truck on nights when cooking isn't on the menu. Family loves anything I bring home from the falafel plate to gyros to loaded fries! Only a four due to short service hours- never because of the food or servers who are always awesome. read more

Coming from LA had to stop for Friday prayers and we were all so hungry and this was around the corner from the Islamic center of Bakersfield; today is their first day outside of target and we thought of checking it out! It was quick and so delicious; after such a long time I had good shawarma! We ordered garlic fries & ps fries (fries with their special House sauce) (finger licking good) Chicken shawarmas with some hot sauce on the side; it was delicious! Also free hummus on the house! Tried their baklava (which was ok it had too much cinnamon in it taste like red hot gum) Our taste buds are satisfied and stomach are full.. so glad we stopped here as it was quick service and amazing food! read more

Pita Paradise is my favorite spot for lamb shawarma! So perfectly spiced with delightful sides. Great value. Also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. read more

Unfortunately the quality here has decreased significantly since my last review. Not sure if it's new ownership, cook or something else but the food doesn't taste the same anymore. Not nearly as fresh and really sort of bland. For a shawarma sandwich, they try to skim on the meat by throwing as much lettuce into it as possible to make it appear bigger. Their prices have also increased significantly. It's now $10 for a sandwich. That's ridiculous for a food truck considering there are Mediterranean restaurants not charging that much. When I first visited Pita Paradise, their sandwich was $6. I understand that inflation has occurred over the years and cost of meat and such has gone up but almost double the price? I can get a Chipotle bowl for less than $10 to put it in comparison. The worst part is that they now charge $1 for garlic sauce. It used to be 25 cents. But they now charge $1 for a tiny little cup of garlic sauce, something that is given for free at all other Mediterranean spots. You would think for charging such high prices for their menu, they would at least give out the sauces for free. I'm not a big fan of Flames and Skewers in general but at least they do not charge for garlic sauce there when you ask for an extra cup of it. It's a shame that this place has regressed so much in terms of taste and cost because it was the only "worth-it" Mediterranean spot in town. read more

This place is amazing. Food is fresh and tasty. I ordered a side of falafels and a gyro shawarma. The falafels were crunchy and moist in the inside.

Quick Summary Pita Paradise is in my Top 2 for favorite work lunch spots in town. It's basically the Halal Guys of Bakersfield Food- 5 stars I usually get the lamb and beef platter and it's heavenly. Chicken is good as well, but I'm more of a fan of the dark meats. Value- 5 stars $10 for a Halal Guys equivalent that can feed 2 people. Now that's a deal! Bottom Line One of my favorite spots in Bakersfield. No need to make the trip all the way to OC for Halal Guys, when there's a great Mediterranean spot in town in Pita Paradise read more

Road trip through Bakersfield! Pita Paradise was a perfect find for price range and deliciousness! I came with a car full of hungry friends and we were not disappointed! The staff was very friendly and welcoming! I called before we got there to see where the food truck was located. We had no trouble finding it. There was seating outside and inside near the food truck on the corner. The food was prepared and made very quickly so that was a huge plus as we had to take it to go. Everyone was happy with their food. The Paradise fries were amazing! I split it with a friend. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be coming back! read more

First off, family owned food truck with phenomenal service. Shout out to jasmine for great and friendly conversation! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the combo platter I think it was number one. It had great tasting beef & lamb gyro with chicken, rice, salad and pita. Along with that I tried the garlic fries which was completely unnecessary because the plate was a TON of food lol. The garlic sauce was SO good as well. The falafel was phenomenal. Everything about this place is a must try! Definitely come here if you haven't and give a hello to Jasmine and the fam! read more

Came in for lunch last Thursday, which was awesome considering I hadn't known they were in this location, so close to my work. Score! The combo plate is enough food to share, and the garlic fries are so good you won't want to. The food is just as amazing as that from the truck, the service is just as warm and welcoming. I was very happy to hear that they're planning on opening more locations, as well. This is a local business that deserves to thrive. We went back again for the official ribbon cutting and tried the chicken gyro and the baklava. Both delicious! read more
