Wow… great location… awesome food… exceptional wait staff! Ellie was our excellent waitress who guided us through the menu. We even tried her favorite! The IPA on tap was really good too. KoPita is located on the second floor of Embassy Suites Downtown Knoxville on Gay Street. Be sure to sit at a window table to watch the parade of people below. The Baklava was unbelievable and even had a clove in the center of each square… which took the taste to a whole new level!!!

Bitter and tasteless, not worth the 18.00 dollars for the portion. Not worth your time.

Love it!!! Great food and service.

We had a delicious lunch. The kebabs, falafel and Shakshuka were all excellent made with fresh ingredients. We’d been on the road for a few days and this meal was so refreshing.

Good vibes, soothing music, modern but cozy interior, fast, and friendly. Free minted tea was appreciated, water was promptly refilled, and the server was open to questions.Vegan Mezze for two came with 10 freshly made falafel balls with the right consistency of crispy on the outside and moist in the middle.Besides delicious babaganoush and a very smooth hummus containing plenty of tahini, we also received sweet potato cubes with sesame seeds, tangy eggplant, fennel salad, a cabbage salad, and 2 pita breads.I was very happy with the Mezze but was missing olives and pickled chilies. All dishes were good but I added salt to most dishes, maybe I had a deficit that day.

A must try in Knoxville! Truly some of the best food I have had in a long time. The falafel was cooked to perfection and the veggies were lovely!

We stopped in on a whim and wow!! Best sabich and hummus we ever had! (And one of us lived in the Middle East for a while). The food was so FLAVORFUL. When we got there it was super busy (during the Big Ears music festival) and the owner saw us sitting in the back waiting and just bought us a spread of humus and salads. We absolutely loved our meal, the food had such an authentic feel and we loved every bit of it.

First timers, try the sampler! I was so impressed with the wholesome and lively flavors in all the dishes. It's obvious they put a lot of care and attention into the preparation.The menu caters to omnivores of all types, but I think it's one of the best places to get an entirely plant-based meal that's balanced and exciting.

Chef Chicago was so inviting and accommodating to our dietary needs (vegans). One of the best Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been to hands down. All around great reviews, service, food, aesthetic, etc. 11/10 would recommend to anyone!

We had a wonderful healthy lunch. The chefs platter was interesting and so very good. We will be back soon to try more dishes here.
