    Super delicious food that is incredibly flavorful and fresh. My husband and I each got a whole white pita with falafel and all the toppings. We were completely blown away by how much flavor was packed into one bite. I don't think they have meat options but honestly, try the falafel. You wont regret it. For all my coffee people out there they serve Turkish coffee and me oh my is it strong. I highly recommend the Turkish coffee and baklava together.

    My coworker has been talking about Pita Place for daaays and with my food sensitivities I thought I would try it. I was super happy that pita pit was so dairy and egg friendly. The sauce was free of those elements and my pita could automatically be a salad. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. This was a winning stop, staff was knowledgeable of ingredients, food was quickly prepared, and I had a delicious lunch.

    Fresh wrapped falafel and a Turkish coffee with baklava.

    Incredible falafel. Great service. Good prices. Excellent coffee and baklava. What's not to love! I had lunch here today on the recommendation of a local. If they were open for dinner, I would have eaten here twice today! This is a must when in Fairbanks.

    After almost every person we came to meet on our trip to Fairbanks recommended this place. There was just one other customer in here when ee arrived. There menu is limited to 4 choices! Which in my book speaks volumes. The less choices, the better they are going to be. Focus is on fresh produce, house pickled cabbages, onions etc. I ordered the pita falafel with everything they had to offer. It was quickly put together and I began my first bite. I tasted bits of 10 different flavors in every bite, how can that happen you may ask? Well if you watch them assemble your pita you are to realize that they create layer after layer going thru each ingredient. I almost wish I lived here so I can come back to one of the best pita place on this state!

    Half Pita Falafel (Half) on white.

    I did not expect to come to Fairbanks, Alaska and have the best lunch of my year so far (and the year is almost over). My husband and I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything was 10/10. Food. Service. Ambiance. The works.

    So yum! All fresh ingredients!!

    Do you even like falafel???? Open during summer, Pita Place is a must stop for not only yum falafel, but a gigantic pita stuffed with toppins' and perfectly crisp falafel. You even receive a free beverage if you bicycle there! There are plenty of picnic tables and napkins at the tables. You walk up and order and they make it right there and you pay and boom your falafel is ready! The women helping me were very nice. I ordered the "Whole Falafel" on white pita. The "whole" is huge! Be hungry! It was stuffed full of fresh tasting lettuce, tomato, onion, hummus, and fresh sauce. I guess the best way I can describe it would be "fresh" and "flavorful." All the flavors really complemented one another, and none stood out too prominently over any other one. Nothing tasted like cheap ingredients. It was just an explosion of flavors! And all for $10 total! Ten bucks for all those fresh flavors, lots of food and a drink!? Wow! I would highly recommend Pita Place. Value, friendliness, taste, speed, overall a very satisfying experience! I will DEFINITELY return and would definitely recommend!

    kid's portion - filling in itself

    Stopped by here for a quick mini-meal and I thought it was cool that they let me order the kid's portion (places don't always let adults buy kid's meal options). It was super cheap at $2 or so and it was really filling - they say the only difference is 1 less falafel and less stuffing (so not as wide of a pita pocket). Their staff is really friendly and mostly young college people. The falafel was very flavorful, filling and perfectly portioned and the little spot is convenient, has nice little patio seating and I would definitely come by again for a quick lunch.

    The place has one of the best falafels I've ever had! Fairbanks is richer for having such a spot!

    Is the Pita Place near the University? Have a niece there trying to come up with Gift Certificates for xmas.

    Yes. It's very close! They previously have been closed over the winter but I was there yesterday and the owner said that since they have built on and have additional inside seating they are not going to be seasonal any more! I'm sure your niece will… Read more

    VIBE: In a small strip mall, location was a little sus, compared to other areas in Fairbanks. Clean…read moreand quiet, with booth seating. Walk up order, then find a table. I went in on a Thursday evening around 7pm, and I was the only customer but they had lots of delivery orders that kept printing out, so you know it's good!! MENU: Tons of choices, see photos for current menu. The bowl option is totally enough for someone who wants a filling dinner. Get half lettuce and half rice! I got the gyro bowl, was fantastic!!

    Amazing food! I ordered the butter chicken bowl. It comes with many options! I chose rice and salad…read morebase with tabouli salad and Arabic salad with two sauces, tahini and tzatziki sauce. We also ordered the chicken Kabob bowl and the chicken shawarma sandwich. My palate has experienced a plethora of Mediterranean restaurants from San Diego to Massachusetts. My family has an Arabic background and I'm familiar with the seasonings used in Mediterranean dishes. Being new to this area I haven't been satisfied with my culinary experiences to say the least. I'm so excited to find a place to enjoy eating at. The service was friendly and quick. The prices were reasonable and the establishment was clean. I'm definitely putting this stop on my regular list of go to's. Thank you for the experience! I ate too quick to snap a pic but I'll update the next visit with photos.
