Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Best restaurant serving Middle Eastern food in this part of town. We have frequently dined at Cafe Mix and at Bellagio's in the neighborhood. Of the two, we preferred Cafe Mix but decided to give this new restaurant a try. We are so glad we did. The restaurant has been almost empty the two times we've eaten there. This worries me, because I wonder how the owner can stay in business with so few customers. He needs to do some serious marketing to get the neighborhood residents to become aware of the existence of this restaurant. Both times we visited we were alone or with only one other table occupied. The food was excellent on both occasions. On the first trip, we had the hummus appetizer, a gyros pita roll, and something called a "chicken steak" pita roll. I learned that "chicken steak" is probably equivalent to plain seasoned grilled chicken breast--no idea where that term comes from. But it was delicious, tender, juicy, and plentiful. The rolls were served inside hot, grilled pita. On the second visit, we had falafel pita, gyros meat on Greek salad, and beef skewers in pita. Again, all were fresh, delicious, good portions, and served by a nice waiter who came back to check on us a couple of times. They had plenty of outdoor seating which might be pleasant now that the weather is starting to cool off. No waiter service--you order at the counter, get your own drinks, and they bring your food to the table when the order is ready. The restaurant appeared spotlessly clean. We are delighted to have this restaurant in our neighborhood and hope that it will succeed. It's our new favorite Middle Eastern restaurant and we feel comfortable giving them our highest endorsement. It's better, in our opinion, than either Cafe Mix or Bellagio.

This place is the best! I usually never looked pita places before until I tried The Pita island. The food was excellent the service is great, and the staff is awesome. I sent everyone I work with over to try this place because it's that good!
(5)David L.
I just ordered take out so I can't say much about the service. But the cashier was very friendly and helpful with my questions. The food was very good - we ordered the gyro and the chicken pita. We also ordered an extra pita for our two-year old. I was expecting to just get a cold pita out of the bag, but they made sure it was cooked and nice and hot for her. We'll be back.

Service is great. Food is fresh and tastes incredible. Bought the gyro and it was outta this world. This place is not close to my house but I'm coming back and so should you!!!!
(5)Arizona R.
Pita Island is a gem hidden in a strip mall. The fresh hummus is delicious but even better is the home made pita - wow! This is not close to my home but I will certainly be making a special trip there often. Besides the typical Mediterranean fare they also serve brick oven pizza which is fresh and delicious. Try the gyro pizza and have the best of both worlds! And make sure to have Mike entertain you with his jokes, very funny!
(5)Michele K.
Hummus and grape leaves are excellent. Falafels are made fresh in house. Great portions and yummy!
(4)David A.
My wife and I are pizza snobs from Chicago. Our son invited us out for pizza at Pita Island. As a pizza snob I was sceptical but! we never say no to one of our kids offering to buy dinner. So we ordered 3 pizzas, Gyro, Veggie Chicken & Pepperoni. Man were we surprised. Absolutely delicious! Crust cooked perfectly. We also ordered hummus for an appetizer.They make their hummus fresh daily and the pita bread is made right there (still warm when served). Best we have ever had. Highly recommend.
(5)Brady K.
The Manager who keeps commenting is very rude he thinks he can tell people how there experience was when people complain that's a way to help them improve he seems very arrogant in his dealings and that attitude alone would make me never want to go back I've been here once it was nothing special average gyros much better place up the street on power
(1)Greg S.
would give 5 stars, but they will take it down since I don't review often. I got the gyro, jalapeno hummus and greek salad with chicken for my wife and I. Wonderful customer service and great food. We will definitely be going back
(4)Tonie S.
The food is fresh, home made and excellent. The service was very good also. The hummus is made from scratch. They cook the beans and then mash them for the hummus. The place is open and very clean. Generous portions.. My husband and I will go back.
(5)Kelsey W.
I love this place!!! Their gyros are amazing. Hummus is great the jalapeño cilantro one is really good. Baklava is really good...but their island dessert...OMG!!! So yummy!!' Definitely a great lunch place.
(5)Mike P.
Just moved to the area and we always love Mediterranean food. Been here 3 times and everything is always perfect. Vegetables are always crisp and fresh, best gyro meat I have ever had. This definitely will be a regular spot for me.
(5)John K.
Very friendly staff, clean and well kept restaurant. The food was good. I had the Gyros Plate with a Greek Salad on the side. The plate was served with a humus, tsatsiki, warm pita and a plentiful helping of gyros meat. The salad was fresh and the dressing was simple but good. My only complaint was the olives used for a garnish were canned black olives. They really should be using kalamata olives not these lame flavorless olives. I wouldn't let that keep me from coming back. The food definitely satisfied my cravings.
(4)rafiq r.
Food is healthy and delicious. Staff is fast and friendly. We love coming here. My favorites are the chicken/gyro fatoush salad.
(5)Sally W.
The best! Food is fast and made fresh every morning. Some of the best hummus and falafel I've had! Plus the owners/staff are awesome!
(5)Benjamin M.
What a great Mediterranean food place. Their hummas appetizer has alot of flavor and the chicken gyro is sooo good. Will be coming back in the near future.
(5)Kristen B.
Most enthusiastic service I have ever received! Those who work there are passionate about their food and are proud to serve it to you which made me so excited to try it! We ordered the falafels, hummus, and gyro, all delicious! The falafels were freshly made and came out piping hot with a perfectly made tahini sauce. The hummus was also freshly made and served with homemade pita bread. I don't eat meat so I can't speak for my husbands gyro, but he nearly inhaled it! Can't wait to come back!
(5)Dani G.
Had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The chicken pita wrap with salad and blackberry jasmine tea was amazing and the baklava was great, too! We live close by, so we'll definitely be coming more often. Very impressed! The service was also impeccable and you can tell they are very dedicated and enthusiastic about their business. We really enjoyed our experience.
(5)Marshall W.
A five star establishment for the following reasons. Premises: immaculate with nicely done murals all around plus a really interesting fountain in the middle of the restaurant. This place is as neat as a pin. I trust the sanitation issue. Food: great flavors and fresh salads, generous portions. Prices: reasonable and/or cheap. Staff: helpful and cheery. Bear in mind the restaurant is in a somewhat declasse strip mall near an Ace hardware store and a Hallmark store. Even so it is 5 by my book despite the surroundings. .
(5)Kanduss F.
Sooooooo yummy!!!!! Can't wait to come back!!!!! The hummus was the best I've ever had my 3 year old ate most of it!!!!!!!
(5)Alma R.
This place is awesome ! Close to home! So glad we found this place! The staff are super friendly and attentive !! The food is scrumptious ! I always try to take my time eating so u can savor every bite but that doesn't last long because it's delicious ! The dining area is always clean! My fave is the gyro plate with Greek salad! The hummus and pita are awesome !!! Oh and tazeki!!!
(5)Krista G.
I was excited to see a pita spot open on this end of town. I finally got a chance to stop in and was pleasantly surprised. I just ordered a Gyro pita, but here's what I loved about it: 1) The gyro meat is all lamb. No mixture of lamb and beef like a lot of places do. 2) The gyro meat is thinly sliced. 3) The pita is soft and the tzatziki has a nice flavor. I gotta say, I think this place may have usurped my current favorite gyro place. The gyro meat on the pita was plentiful, although I could've used more than just the half slice of tomato that came on it. Also, I would've loved more tzatziki sauce, but that's really a matter of personal preference, and had I been dining in I'm sure they would've been happy to accommodate me if I'd asked for a little more. I hope this place does well and is able to thrive!

I have always luvd this type of food and sooooooo excited when it opened in our neighborhood. I've been there several times. ..always good and great customer service UNTIL tonight. Called in my order, went to pick it up to be told "oops...I forgot to put ur order in" Really ?? You had 20 minutes to figure out what you messed up! And. ..no discount, complimentary gyro next visit..... .NOTHING ! I've been in customer service for half of my 50 years of life...this isn't close to acceptable for a new business or ANY business if you want to stick around .. Not like my $20 a month will make you close but we aren't coming back :(
(1)Bonnie H.
We decided to try Pita Island; it's super close to home and we really like to support local business. The menu is a bit limited but it looks like that will be changing soon. On our first visit we ordered a hummus starter and a couple of gyros (with fries). They were nice enough to let us get half traditional and half jalapeño hummus. I can't decide which tasted better! The pita was delicious too. The gyro pitas were so good! The meat was thinly sliced, tender and wonderful. The fries were cooked perfectly. There was so much food, though. We were stuffed by the time we left! The service is friendly and fast. The dining area is very large, clean and welcoming. We are looking forward to visiting often.
(4)Lucy W.
I love this place! Amazing food!!! I love that the menu is simple and they focus on being exceptional at what they do offer. Very fresh and interesting produce. Excellent service :)
(5)Kaitlyn N.
First time trying this place, fast service, cool water foundation inside. I ordered the gyro, and delicious would be an understatement! 5/5 would recommend to anyone!
(5)Shae A.
I've recently fallen in love with greek food so I decided to try my luck at this little cafe! From the moment I walked in I was given stellar service. The guy at the front counter was friendly and helpful when I couldn't narrow my options down. The chef who I believe to be the owner not only made hot, delicious and fresh food but was also very professional and friendly! The food was fresh and made to order. I had a chicken gyro and the price was about $7 which I found to be reasonable. I'm not even a bread eater but I couldn't resist the homemade pita! I ate every bite. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. I will definitely be back.
(5)Carlo E.
My fiancé and I are new to the area and she's been here twice and both times she's had exceptional service and fresh, delicious food!!!! They have fantastic customer service, they're super friendly and attentive. During the first time my fiancé went, she went with her classmates and the waitress split their check 7 ways. She also made sure to put in their food order first so they could get back to class on time. I would highly recommend the cilantro jalapeño hummus, their grilled chicken island plate and grilled chicken gyro. Their portions are huge and filling. This place does not disappoint. It has become our go-to place for delicious Mediterranean food for a great price!!!
(5)Braylon P.
One of the better Gyro's in town. It took a long time to get our food and we were one of the only ones in there. The chicken gyro is ok but the lamb gyro was VERY good!!

This is the message I received at 7:00pm last night from Mike the manager: Hi Angie, Jan S. sent you a message on Yelp: Subject: Your Review "Hi Angie, I'm messaging you, because of the review you left on our yelp page. The restaurant business is a really tough one and we wish every other business/restaurant the best luck and success. I really doubt what you wrote is true since we massage our seasoning into the fresh cut chicken breast evenly, and than prepare some for a final check. Our tzatziki sauce is made fresh with the best ingredients, and mixed well with professional cooking equipment. There could be a very rare possibility that either our fresh chicken itself, or the house made tzatziki sauce wasn't mixed properly, but both at the same time, sorry that's just not true and you know it. I know for sure that you are trying to help your friends business. What you don't know is that you are about to hurt their business significantly. WE DO NOT WANT TO HURT ANYONES BUSINESS, that's the last thing we want. We are very disappointed by your review, because we take our food very serious. You have a few options. We would like to offer you to come in, and have another (if you actually had one) grilled chicken pita on the house and tell us and yelp how you liked it. We really care about our customers, and please know that you are welcome any time smile emoticon ! ( Just say you're Angie who wrote the yelp review and you'll receive a free chicken pita meal/Combo) If we see your review in the next few weeks unchanged, we will HEAVILY advertise in Cafe Mix's area until we get every single customer of them, and you know for sure that if they try our food once, they will never come back to cafe mix. We take this very seriously and we do not appreciate it. You successfully introduced us to this advertising option. Please take this seriously. Again we do not want to hurt anyones business especially Cafe Mix because they are our friends. By the way, If we are just around your corner from your work and cafe mix is even closer I do not believe that you know where we are located, and that you were actually here at Pita Island. The crossroads are Higley and Brown just for your information. Best regards, Mike - Pita Island Manager"
(1)Chris B.
I was super impressed with this place! We were a party of 5 and we all raved about how good and fresh everything was! The waitress was extraordinary! My hats off to her and this business!
(5)Joanne D.
My husband and I were in town visiting, so we used Yelp to find a place for lunch. We both had the gyro island plate with salads, and it was delicious! I highly recommend for others to give this place a try.
(5)Jesse A.
Besides the fresh and good food, the staff here at pita island are very welcoming. I have been to several Greek restaurants, and this one by far exceeds my expectations. I ordered the grilled chicken pita with everything on it. Excellent food. Definitely would come again.
(5)Jay C.
My wife and I live right around the corner and whenever we crave good Greek food, Pita Island is definitely at the top of the list. The workers and owners here are always super nice. Really friendly and greet us every time we come in. The food is really great! Always fresh and warm. The gyro meat is probably the best I've ever had. We hope they are in the neighborhood for a long time!
(4)Adam D.
Love this place. It's close to home and work. I've been here at least 8 to 10 times now, sometimes dine in sometimes takeout. I've never had a bad anything from here. The gyro meat is awesome as well as the hummus and dolmades and baba ganoush. The restaurant is always spotlessly clean. I hope they keep the doors open for years to come.
(5)David C.
Pita Island is the best food of all time - if pita island were a person I would vote for them for president. Whatever you're thinking about eating is a terrible idea, don't be dumb and come get Pita Island. It's totally worth it and the staff is both amazingly helpful and each and every one of them is fantastically good looking, like Greek statues.
(5)Brock H.
I love this place the food is always great and super fresh. I think what differentiates this place from the others is their pita bread is so fresh it's almost crispy. The customer service is awesome as well I will definitely go back.
(5)Anthony B.
What a pleasant surprise this turned out to be. Pita Island had a warm, simple atmosphere, with decent portion sizes, reasonable prices and the food is delicious. The pita's and salads have been my favorites and they are delicious. Small menu but a nice variety of choices. Try the jalapeño hummus. They are expanding the menu and recently added fresh pizza that is really excellent and worth the trip just for that. Take the time to find this place in North Mesa. You won't be disappointed.
(5)Millie Y.
Wow really people no taste buds I just tried the food and no taste and the gyros tasted like its the first one since they opened ill stick to cafe mix to me that is the best mediterranean resturant ever to those people who think this food is good have your taste buds checked if I could give it no stars I would will never eat there again and they dont even know what they are serving she said it was lamb gyros and lamb gyros is actually called shawirma only made with lamb this is gyros lamb & beef dry but gyros it is not going to last I see it closed SOON.
(1)Bianca A.
Went there for lunch. Loved the server but food is tasteless and bland. I don't see the value for what you get.
(2)Mister L.
It will change your life. Awesome gyros, awesome fries, awesome hummus (cilantro jalapeño, yes please). Awesome people, great big open environment. Baklava is great, I dont have single bad thing to say here. Just great food.
(5)Heather D.
I eat at this restaurant every time I am in the neighborhood (about once a month). If I lived closer, I would eat here all the time! Not one thing I haven't like yet. Really love the cilantro jalapeno hummus!
(5)Jewelia E.
I went for the first time yesterday, and have to say....I was impressed! I ordered the chicken pita, and it was so delicious. I would have ordered more of the greek sauce if i would have known how good it was! My only complaint was that my order for two pitas and french fries took about 15 minutes. Kind of a long time to wait while trying to keep your toddler out of their un-fenced water feature in the middle of restaurant. But, I will go back regardless :)
(4)Pam S.
The food (at least the chicken pita) is fine, and my server was very nice and attentive, but I wasn't treated like a valued customer. Came in with a coupon for 1/2 off a pita from LocalFlavor.com The server had not seen this coupon so she asked the owner's wife who was sitting at a table in the restaurant with her baby (only other customer in the place). She said they had not verified that coupon so they wouldn't honor it. I was starving so I stayed and paid the full price, but I will never go back. You should always choose a customer over $3.
(1)Dustin D.
I've been in a few times. Someone has always been friendly and helpful. Sometimes the food just tastes better when you feel welcomed. The food has always been fresh and hot. Even my picky kids love it. This place is about as good as it gets for Mediterranean type food. I'll continue to come back.
(5)Toni F.
Having traveled to Greece and eaten the real gyros off the spinner, I've been craving a good, authentic Greek gyros. I've had some okay Greek food around Gilbert and Mesa but nothing amazing. I happened to be driving by Pita Island, off Higley and Brown when I saw the grand opening sign. I almost didn't turn in, but I'm so glad I did! The meat comes right off the spinner, just like in Greece. The flavor is unbelievable. I went back the following day and it was just as good. Best gyro in the East Valley, hands down!
(5)Jim F.
I just noticed this restaurant this week and stopped in for lunch. Ordered the chicken gyro. Food was tasty and ample. Wait staff super friendly. The restaurant is clean and well furnished with lots of light and upscale decor. I was very impressed and glad to see this place joining our neighborhood.
(5)R K.
Just landed in Phoenix and we were starving. Did a yelp search in the area and this comes up with 4.5 stars. We get there at 11:30am and it doesn't look like its open. I ask an employee (there were only two there) and he says that he forgot to turn the menu on. I should start by saying that the guy was very nice. I ordered a grilled chicken plate. My wife ordered the taboulah salad but they were out. We said that we've never seen a Greek restaurant without taboulah salad. He said they didn't have any parsley. Haha. So my wife ordered what I ordered. We sit down. They bring out our Greek side salads. They were huge and tasty. Fresh ingredients. After a while, they bring out my chicken plate and a gyro plate for my wife. We explained that we ordered two chicken plates. He looks confused and takes it back. How do they mess up the order when we're the first two in their restaurant? We were in a time crunch so we asked him to just refund the second plate. We shared my dish and it was mediocre. The chicken was dry and flavorless. The hummus was good. The tzaziki was tasty. We waited around for the refund but the one-man counter was overwhelmed. He was filling some drinks...which is on the other side of the restaurant. Three different customers at the counter just waiting for him to come back. Good portions. Friendly (but painfully slow) service. Chicken wasn't tasty. The gyros looked good. Won't return.
(1)Tyler D.
Fantastic food and atmosphere but the best part of Pita Island is the amazing staff they care about you and give great suggestions. I had never had a Pita before and was a little nervous trying one but this was some of the best food I have had. I would recommend any of my friends here and enjoy coming whenever I have a chance.
(5)biagio r.
You know they say one can tell how good the food is by the number of cars in the parking lot, unfortunately only a few cars where in front of this establishment, so don't believe the latter. I decided to gamble and I had the choice of many parking spaces, went in and ordered carry out. I was the only one in line and I despise lines but in this case I waited because my culinary instincts over came me. I was hungry. I was greeted and offered a menu to decide my choices and was advised by the guy taking my order as to how good the food is.I selected a Gryo pita wrap,Baba Ghanoush,Grape leaves and Falafel, no it wasn't for a party, it was for me. I was told that I would have a little wait because the food is made to order and I was in no hurry, take your time, I deserve it. I got home and began to plate my feast and my eyes told my stomach "it's going to be good" I like the truth. Everything was delicious and flavorful, the Gryo meat was moist and tasty along with the lettuce,tomato, onion and tzatziki which was folded in a warm piece of pita bread. The Falafel was made to order and I witnessed the chef cooking them, the order consisted six muffin shaped Falafels they were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Tahini sauce paired nicely, yummm. Baba Ghanoush is grilled eggplant, tahini,and olive oil served with pita. Oh, you never had eggplant, well your tongue has over 10,000 taste buds so use them ! Delicious too. The stuffed grapes leaves were very good, grapes are good, so are the leaves that shade them from the sun. I enjoyed every bite and I should have had a party because I had plenty. I wish I owned 100 vehicles to park in front of Pita Island to let everyone know how good it is.
