Really enjoyed this restaurant. Loved the balanced meals and was hesitant about the fruit with every meal at first but I really liked it. The grouper was super good and the lentil soup was very light. The grilled shrimp was an addition but worth getting! Loved the hummus too.

What I've tried is their burgers so far and let me just say, the quality of taste was so much better than I expected only because of the price tag, cheaper than most combos at McDonald's now, and definitely better food. The staff has always been nothing but kind and service is always very personable.

I'm not sure why this place was so busy. Truly the least remarkable Mediterranean food I've ever had. The chicken kabob was dry and bland. The rice was terrible. Way too salty. The service was OK, but I think it's because they may have been understaffed for the lunch rush. Everything was overpriced and overhyped.

I really The combo appetizer. It has both baba ganoush and hummus along with falafel,vegetables and olives. It’s a good starter and let’s you choose an entree armed with some knowledge of what to expect.Vegetarian options: Stuffed grape leaves, falafel, salads, hummus, baba ganoush , veggie omelet, tabooli, mushrooms, soups and veggie kabobs

Great place for families. First time here today and the service was great (it was after typical lunch hours but still, good first impression), it was very clean, they transitioned to evening lighting while we were there which was really nice. Enough of the general feel, THE FOOD. Everything we got was good. Tabouli salad was fresh and delicious, the hummus was a hit with our 2 year old. Good portion of fresh fruit. Lastly, the lamb gyro was so so good, both my husband and I think its the best gyro weve had, EVER. I was also pleased with the presentation; lots of places dont care these days and it seems like this place cares about their food and their business. Happy to support (and make my first yelp review). Very pleasant experience over all. We will be back!

The BEST salmon, among other things. A huge portion that my kiddo and I can split, yet always end up fighting for the last bite. Save room for the baklava. And don’t forget half price wine between 3-6!

Savor the Mediterranean flavor! My wife & I had dinner at The Pita Stop Express last night. The Pita Stop is located in Cahaba Heights, specializes in Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine & has been in business since 2010. My wife is participating in Veganuary & has decided to go vegan for the month. The Pita Stop has quite a few vegan options. One being the Falafel Plate featuring a garden salad (sans feta), hummus, pita & fruit, which she ordered. She enjoyed this dish, particularly the hummus. The falafel was crisp on the outside & flavorful. If you know me, you know that I worked at a Mediterranean restaurant for many years & because of that am STILL burned out on this cuisine a decade later. You'll find that Mediterranean food reviews are rare for me. I REALLY have to be in the mood for this to enjoy it & last night was one of those rare occasions. I ordered the Chicken Kabob Plate featuring fruit, garden salad, wild rice, pita & hummus. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was seasoned well & was nice & juicy, the salad was great with the house vinaigrette, the wild rice was flavorful & the hummus was excellent. Quite possibly the best hummus around. I was happy with my dish. We also shared a side of fries. These are just your typical frozen fries, but they were seasoned well. Obviously they were good because we ate every single one. Though I rarely visit, The Pita Stop is always enjoyable. The atmosphere is casual & service is always friendly. You're immediately greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of various spices hitting the grill. They serve wine, beer & even a few specialty martinis. Sorry it's been a while since my last visit, but I sure enjoyed dinner, Pita Stop! See you again...eventually.

This is not Mediterranean food, its bland n boring ? The portions are tiny and expensive. I ordered chicken shawarma thinking it was a platter from the price but NO! It was a wee little wrap on some sort of a tortilla thing, no sauce just mediocre flavorless chicken and a pickle. My side of "wild rice" was approximately 3 teaspoons n tasted like minute rice.My husband said his gyro wrap was acceptable but his tabouli was old, fermentated and inedible.This place was altogether BLAH fake and corporate.
