Pita Jungle has become such a go-to place for us, because the food is great, the service is also great, there are SO many healthy options, but they’re also delicious, and happy hour is an incredible value. SO many reasons to like this place. The hummus trio is a staple, but so are a lot of things. And there’s a lot of variety on the menu. And Sergio is a lot of fun to have as a server and really enhances the experience. And it’s hard for me to veer away from the chicken shawarma (I go wrap), but I’ve really GOTTA start trying other things, at least the lavosh variation and a few entrees. You can even go more the Indian route if you’d like, but plenty to choose from. And drinks are great, and as I said, service is great. AND for you gluten-free folks, the gluten-free pita (yeah, you heard me correctly, they not only HAVE gluten-free pita, but it’s delicious, and I am not the one with the gluten allergy, but I tried it and it was honestly hard for me to tell the difference (although yes, I do slightly prefer the traditional pita they serve, but come on, that’s because it’s really delicious and sure, given the option, I’d go with the gluten one, but the difference is so marginal, it’s very impressive). And plenty of other gluten-free options. This place is a winner.

We’ve quickly become semi-regulars at Pita Jungle. Service is absolutely great, but the food? So much selection, so many options, and such versatility. Sure you can assume “Greek” or “Middle Eastern” but there are a lot of styles here, although yes, primarily Middle Eastern. The hummus is something to write home about, the plain alone is perfect as is but the trio is awesome (roasted red pepper and avocado (I THINK) being the other two variations). Love the Tzatziki. I can’t stop ordering the chicken shawarma, in its nice warm pita wrap with great sauce and vegetables. But there’s SO much more, kafta beef, burgers, pizzas, entrees, etc. Excellent drinks, too. UNBEATABLE happy hour. GREAT value. AND you actually earn rewards for future visits (not everyone does that)!

Good thing I'm a Yelp Elite member because for some silly reason, despite having lived in the area for almost 3 years now, I didn't know about Pita Jungle until I noticed there was a Yelp Elite event held here and people loved it. I've lived in the area almost three years now so I could kick myself for not having discovered it before now. But SO glad we did because we thought it was AWESOME! First of all, the service was excellent. Our server, Paula, was attentive, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, just excellent. She checked on us, refilled drinks quickly, she also helped us navigate the MANY gluten-free options (this place is a gluten-free MECCA), and she just made it a fun experience. We were also assisted by Sergio, who was great as well, he was personable and pleasant and we enjoyed our interaction with him as well.Most importantly, the food was excellent but we want to return because there’s also so much selection. Many items look great, and this was our first visit. We started with, believe it or not, the blue corn nachos, and they were great. Plenty of food, they were hot, we really enjoyed the cheese, beans, and that added grilled chicken was a really great addition. We didn’t finish them all because we wanted to save room for our main dishes. My wife has a gluten allergy and boy do they have a lot of gluten-free options, as I mentioned, but that includes gluten-free pita, which you don’t see anywhere. We even got some extra gf pita to go (which was a nice suggestion of theirs!). Anyway, my wife enjoyed the turkey pesto (yes, roasted turkey, not deli turkey, and you can also have it with chicken or even tofu) on that GF pita. I got the chicken shawarma wrap. That decision was a struggle for me because so many things look good (and get good reviews) on this wide menu, I thought about the kafta burger but next time I will probably try it. But it turned out the chicken shawarma was an excellent choice, it was perfect. Love the thick pita, wrapped in foil, fresh veggies, delicious tahini (I think it’s tahini unless it’s tzatziki), and of course the chicken is the star of the show. Delicious. Had a nice fresh small Greek salad as the side and it was really fresh and delicious, it included of course olives and feta but had spinach as well that was great.On top of ALL that, the happy hour is a GREAT deal, I mean not just alcohol (which in and of itself is enough of a reason to do happy hour, for me) but plenty of excellent food choices on the happy hour menu as well (hummus, tzatziki, falafel, cheese, you name it, there really are like over 10 items easily). We enjoyed the happy hour Pinot Grigio. And they even have cocktails (I had a martini I really liked)!Sure the ambiance isn’t fine dining but it’s still pretty nice inside, and they have patio dining as well.We’ll definitely return. It was fun.

I had chicken Tika masala delivered and it arrived a soupy mess, with about a tablespoon of rice. Super disappointing and unappetizing.

We came in and were seated immediately, it was not busy (maybe 5 occupied tables). We knew what we wanted and ordered food at the same time as our drinks as we were with hungry children. I got my drink and there was lipstick on the cup. We waited for our food for over 30 minutes. We were told by our server that the had a catering order which was backing them up. Had we been told from the beginning they were backed up we would not have stayed. The food was good, but it was just an overall negative experience and excuses from the staff about the wait was enough to make me not want to return.

Fernando went above and beyond to make sure we got our food when our door dash driver didn't deliver to us. Pita Jungle redid the order and Fernando drove it out to us at our work. The food was delicious and we will absolutely continue to order from this location due to the outstanding service and care they provide. Thank you to Fernando and all the staff at Pita Jungle!

I always enjoy my meal from Pita Jungle. The marinated tofu and the roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce is always good. But my favorite is the jalapeno cilantro hummus. So tasty!

Everything was wonderful. However they did not have any record of our reservation. They said they do not accept reservations and do not check the computer. It would be nice if they could accept reservations!

I was very impressed with our server, Yami. She was warm and friendly and had a smile on her face the entire time. She even brought my daughter crayons and a coloring sheet without my having to ask as well as immediately offered us our choice of a booster seat or high chair. There was a sign on the door asking patrons to be patient with the staff as they were short-handed. I would never have noticed because our waitress didn't miss a beat. Our food was great and the kid's meal offers a wide variety of options for picky little eaters. We really enjoyed our first experience here and will definitely be back!
