“One of the other reviews said this is one of the few mediterranean places where you can actually taste the lamb, and they were right”
“My boyfriend and I absolutely love coming to Pita Express! Every visit is consistently outstanding. Our favorite dishes are the vegetarian falafel wrap and the kabob skewers. They're always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. What sets this restaurant apart is the incredible customer service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine kindness, warmth, and professionalism. The staff is always friendly, polite, and welcoming, every visit feels special. The restaurant is impeccably clean and spotless. It's rare to find a place that excels in every aspect, but Pita Express does. Amazing food, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional people who work there, we look forward to returning. Highly recommend!”
“We are traveling for vacation and passed by the restaurant, food very delicious, and price is fair. Thank you”
“Catered from Pita Express this past weekend for my daughter’s high school graduation party. What can I say but WOW!!!!! Everything was perfect from beginning to end. It was a last minute event and I can not thank the owner enough as he came to the rescue with top notch service and catering. He was so accommodating as he was able to cater our party of 100 people in a matter of days. He was super helpful in creating a menu that would please all ages. Presentation was so appealing and portions were so generous. More importantly- flavor and preparation was outstanding! Kabobs were so tender and juicy and Shawerma meat so well seasoned. My favorite were his sauces- the garlic, tahini, and especially the spicy hot sauce with a hint of chipotle and lime was such a nice addition to any meal. I wish he would have left business cards to hand out because everyone was soooooooo impressed and just wanted to know where the catering was from. I would use Pita Express again and again without hesitation! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PITA EXPRESS FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT!”
“Amazing shawarma and mixed grill. Everything was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the freshness and quality. Definitely one of the best spots I’ve tried highly recommend.”
“Wonderful lunch special (chicken shawarma) only thing I had to pay was for the hot sauce (homemade).”
“I come here all the time and their food and service are both consistently WONDERFUL! ❤️ The food transports well for takeout, but sitting in the restaurant's nice and cozy as well :)”
“Food was tasty and fresh, service was great! One of my favorite places to eat now.”
“I had a chicken kofta kabob wrap, it was delicious and wasn't salty. Mediterranean food is actually very healthy. I visited again yesterday and had a mixed plate lunch special 😋 it was delicious”
“Room for improvement. The food is pretty good. Service is friendly. I’ve stopped here a few times and have had pitas, kebabs, and a few other items. Here’s what can get better and what will get me to stop more often. Let me add some hummus to my chicken pita. Maybe a couple tablespoons? Maybe for a small up charge? They don’t offer that option. I had to buy a side of hummus for $8 to enjoy a little hummus with my chicken pita. And then the side came with only ONE piece of bread. The hummus is REALLY good, but now I have a big bowl of hummus with no more bread to enjoy it with. Also, I prefer my hummus without pools of oil in it. A little drizzle, okay. But why drown the hummus flavor with so much oil? Anyway. Good place. Could be better. I’ll give them a try again and update my review if they’re able to raise the bar a little bit.”
“Delicious kebab plates, sauces and pita! Super friendly guys, I will be back!”
