“2/24/24: good food, clean restaurant, attentive & friendly servers, decently priced. Their hummus was smooth, creamy, and well flavored; same with the tzatziki. The only thing I was not happy about was the pita that came out with the hummus appetizer - sure it was store bought (flat and thin). Yet when we asked for some to take home (we had hummus leftover), that pita was thicker and fluffier (the way it should be!).Would we return to Pita Island? Not likely, but only because we live on the west side of the valley. The food was not so excellent to warrant the drive. If we lived closer, yes we would return.“
“We stopped by here when at an appointment some distance from where we live. Good ole Yelp and reviews. The gyros were delish, the baklava the best we've had in years (homemade I might add) and the service was wonderful. Please support this new small business. You can tell they are passionate about what they do!“
“I can't say enough about this place! It's amazing! The food, the staff, the cleanliness - all amazing. I know everyone says this, but they really do treat you like family. We've been going here for a few years now, and we have honestly never had a bad experience. In fact, we've never hard just an "okay" experience. It's always been great. If you don't check it out once, you're just missing out. Literally our favorite place to eat in Arizona.“
“This is my favorite lunch and dinner spot in the east valley! I LOVE Mediterranean food and make it often at home… along with sourdough. This place checks off all of the boxes for me- delicious flavors, high quality ingredients, great atmosphere, and very friendly hospitable service. I CRAVE their chopped salad, hummus, fresh pita, and their fresh vegetables almost daily… it’s a great spot and I’m super glad we have you Gilbert! And it’s a huge win that they have amazing sourdough too :)!“
“Stopped by when I visited family during thanksgiving because I like to try new places, and I was not let down. The chicken was fresh and moist, the rice was fluffy, the pita bread was warm, and the sauces had so much flavor. Would definitely visit this place again when I visit Arizona. I think the family that owns it is the family running it, which the service was very prompt and friendly. Oh, try the fries. So worth it.“
“Went with 6 others after theater .Lots of choices of food and drinks.Everything was great we'll be going back.Vegetarian options: Had the stuffed red pepper.Shared mushroom and zucchini plate with ranch sauce. All very good. Others had meat dishes and everything looked good and we were all happy.“
“My family and I frequent Pita Jungle often. Whether it be dine in or take out we are always happy with our meal. We love the long list of healthy options. Though we have been coming here for years, we never grow tired of the menu and we definitely have our favorites.I highly recommend Pita Jungle!“

“I DoorDash from this restaurant multiple times throughout the week and they never disappoint! The food is always hot and fresh and they consistently get my special orders/requests correct. The chicken sharwarma is 10/10– would definitely recommend!! To top it off, the staff is courteous and customer service oriented which is rare to find these days.“
“We had a great time dining at Acqua Di Mare! The food was perfectly seasoned, service was friendly and purposeful, and environment was intimate and warm. Fine dining at its best. We are thankful for the suggestion to visit, dining with you was a highlight of our stay.“

“Great local spot, but no longer allowing me to substitute hummus for falafel which I don't eat really turns me off and keeps me from ordering as often as I used to. As a fellow small business owner, I suggest following the mantra to "Find a way to say yes". I'm not asking much.“
“I've been coming here at least once a week since they opened. Their food is so fresh, tasty, and healthy. I usually get the chicken kabob plate, it comes with lentil soup, salad, pita, yellow basmati rice, and the best hummus & tzatziki you've ever had!!! Ali (the owner) takes great strides to make sure your meal is perfect in every way! The chicken Shawarma plate is delicious too. When I have friends in from out of town, this is my go to spot. I'm always bringing new people in, and everyone LOVES it here. If you haven't been in, you're missing out!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Amazing Greek Restaurant. I wish we had this brand in Canada. I went back to repeat my order because it exceeded my expectations from taste to pricing.Parking: It's in a mall strip. You might have to walk a few steps but well worth it.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly with indoor and outdoor seating“
“I used to always pick up food from here during the covid lockdown of 2020. The shawarma plate is so good, well balanced, plentiful meal, for cheap. The staff was always very nice to me. Also try their flatbreads.. only good things to say about this place.“
“Lamb was a 5 star meal for sure! Prices are very reasonable and my food was great! I have had better falafel before, this one didn’t have as many spice flavors as I prefer. Still good though. We sat out on the patio and it was a nice environment.“
“New style of food I have never had. Pulled up and parking lot was full. That's always a good thing!The smell of spices punches you in the face when you walk in. Friendly and courteous staff took care of everything.Highly recommend if only for the coffee and Baklava. Try new things and be rewarded. Everything we had was delicious.“
“I found it on Google. Its a small place, amd you'd miss it if you didn't know it was there. I'm so glad I found it. The food was very good, and decently priced. It's very obvious they the owner care about the food and people. I will definitely be going back.“
“I've been going here since November 2023 which i believe is close to when they opened. The food is absolutely fantastic, way above the drive thru taco store offerings. There must be close to 100 items on the menu. I've certainly not had all, but I will share what I've had.First, the breakfast burritos, I get these at least once per week. You order then all day but from 6am to 11am they are only $5. Compartively their about 2/3 the size of a corporate brand noted for its guac. I'm a fan of the bacon, potato and egg burrito which is enough for breakfast and a quick snack later.On the unique side is the Barria Ramen. A spicy dish of barria meat and juice with ramen noddles. Very tasty fusion.Beef tacos. THE GOLD STANDARD TACO for me now. These are the tacos I should have been served when I sat down at 'upscale' Mexican resturants. Whenever I Ran To The Border these are the taco's I Yo Quiero'd.I have had several other items which tick all the muy bueno boxes. The one disappointment, in a fair and honest reivew, I wasn't a fan of the taco pizza. I love taco pizza and all the months that are not May, and I can't get a take and bake taco grande, The Bell has to do. So I was prepared for a hard shell tostado foundation. Their version, at the least the one I got, was essentially a wet quesadilla. But so what. I wasn't a fan of one item representing less than 10% of my total orders. I still have 80+ items I haven't tried. And maybe they read this and look at an area of opportunity.It's really hard to find good unique food in east Mesa that isn't some national chain. I really hope after reading this you give them a shot. its hard for local businesses to succeed and I really don't want this place to close. (I am not affliated with the place in any way. They just take my money)Parking: plenty there.Wheelchair accessibility: One floor, sidewalk ramp is convienent.“
“Cutomer service was great, friendly and helpful staff, clean tables and the food was served hot, with large portions and delicious. Our salad was fresh and crispy. The meat combo with chicken and lamb kabobs was marinated and cooked to perfection, which was served with grilled veggies, rice, pita, and tzatziki. We also shared a generous portion of Dolmades and Calamari and were not disappointed by the generous portions.“
“My wife and I went to Virtu honest craft for date night and we absolutely loved this hidden gem located near old town Scottsdale. The mixed cocktails and wine selection here are outstanding! We loved how the menu is constantly changing each time here and we did a fixed course menu and we left very happy!Overall, this is a wonderful place to come and celebrate a special occasion with that special someone. Highly recommend this for foodies!“
“This is by far my favorite Pita Jungle location. I'm a picky eater and I specify which ingredients I want in my spicy chicken wrap. The chefs there always do it just right. I've moved to another state but always try to get my fix at Pita Jungle when I visit. One family member is vegetarian and they are always happy. Staff is also great.“
“Food is scrumptious, delicious and healthy , too. It's not often you find that all in one in a restaurant. The staff is courteous, it is spotlessly clean. Plus, the portions are HUGE for the affordable prices. My husband and I frequent there and love date night there or even lunch when we are out and about. 10 STARS!“
“Great lunch today, The menuis very well organized and has lots of different combinations you can choose from. They allowed me to make the modifications i requested today and the food was a good quality. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean, and the Customer service was on point. I recommend the hummus and protein plate that is what I enjoyed today. I will be back soon!“
“Place smells very nice as you walk in. Dude at cashier with hat is super dope and funny. He is very friendly and kind about finding what would be good just for you with allergies and preferences. Nice looking interior, almost like a zen forest. The best soda machine I’ve ever drank from. Can’t get any better carbonation than that 10/10. Food comes out quick, minor mistakes but not to bad. The food does come out all at once is wrapped nicely, the gyro meat is super tasty and has a good seasoning, lettuce and veggies are fresh. Beware the strong onion flavor though. Fries are super crispy and salty, best fries I have ever ate. Great spot for vegans and health benefits. Great food and amazing friendly atmosphere. If you don’t like fountain they also have bottled/canned beverages. Sweets, cookies and somewhat of good bakery options. Kitchen was very clean. Minor dust but very comfortable seating. Great deals on Tuesday’s, we order before usually, hot and ready when we arrive. Very impressed with this locationVegetarian options: Ask the dude with hat and black gloves and he’ll hook you upDietary restrictions: Very good with allergies, they promise to not cross contaminateParking: Small parking area, but have never had a problem“
“I have eaten here a number of times. The owner is of Afghan and Indian descent. The food is great and I recommend the Kabab Combo Plate. They have the best falafel in town and I crave it about once a week. This is our go to for gyros but the rice and falafel are what brings us back.“
“Love this gem of a restaurant! Always busy when I go and delicious EVERY TIME. It does get a bit crowded at times and you have to move fast if you want to get a table. I've had their gyros, gyro plates, baklava and chicken shawarma Absolutely delish! To die for *chef's kiss“
“Visited this restaurant spontaneously and i am so glad i came across it. The menu looked great and has a lot of variety. The owner was very sweet and kind, he helped me choose what to get. I ended up getting a bowl which was very fresh and flavourful. The menu caters to all levels of spicy so if ure looking for somethinf extra spicy you will get it here. Theres gyros as well which i hope to try some other day. The service was also very very good. Overall really enjoyed the food and the service. 10/10 recommend!!“

“Decided to go to Pita Jungle after church. Weather was perfect so we opted to dine outside. Our waitress Madison was very attentive and friendly. I wanted the grilled portobello mushroom burger but didn't get it as they were out of French Fries. Ended up getting the wood-fired cauliflower taco and the large cilantro jalapeño hummus. It was delicious but a bit disappointing as there was no spice/bite to it. Besides my bite!“
“!!HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!Why is this place rated 5 stars? The divine quality of the food! I have never tasted cream or cheese so good ? Not only is the quality of the food exquisite, the talented staff make it a whole experience with how it's presented.It is on the pricier side, but you deserve to spoil yourself and be bougie from time to time ? This is a perfect spot for date night or a get-together with friends - You're not getting full off of an entree, but rather trying new foods and combinations of flavors in smaller dishes, paired with a comforting tea.Would highly recommend and will be back!“
