    AWESOME! Everything about this place is awesome! I got referred here by a friend and decided to bring my wife. She got the chicken sandwich and I made a create your own bowl. Chicken is marinated perfectly and the ADD-ONs! Where do I start, from the different choices of hummus to the PB dip. There are so many choices! Ambience is cool with a nice bar for cocktails and some tv's, very modern. Next time I'm gonna have to try one of there raw juices, they looked great.

    I have passed this place many times on my way to and from work, and recently decided to stop in to pick up dinner. I tried a salad and I got a hummus bowl for my boyfriend. We both agreed the portions were pretty big. However, next time I will probably just get a hummus bowl, bc the hummus bowl comes with salad in it, it just has extra stuff too! I forgot all of what the choices of extras you could add to your bowl, but I remember there were lots of veggies, which I liked. For all of the other reviews who said service wasn't that great, I would disagree. The girl serving me my food was really friendly and took her time explaining things to me. She also had me try their PB sauce, which was interesting bc it was vegan but it tasted really creamy. I liked it! Especially since I can't eat dairy. I wouldn't say the flavors were out of this world, but I like that it's a healthy quick option for food, that is really convenient to where I live. I will be back!

    The food at pita bistro was good, nothing to go crazy about. For the $11 I paid for my meal it was worth it. I got a pita bowl with hummus, a lot of veggies, and gyro meat. The meat was delicious, but they loaded it up with hummus. I recommend the sriracha hummus!! The only major negative I had was the pita bread pieces. They seemed to firm and stale. It could have very well of been a bad batch of pita bread, but overall I would recommend this place to someone who is in for a tasty and healthy meal for anywhere from $8-$12.

    I work in a business complex nearby and come here for lunch from time to time. To keep it short and sweet, the food is pretty tasty (and plentiful. They definitely aren't stingy with their servings). The salad is my favorite thing there; that sucker is beastly. You can stretch that thing out to cover two meals. And I'm a pretty beefy fella so that says a lot. I only wish their hummus was a little more flavorful. But besides that, the place is legit.

    Upscale, hip, trendy with Aaaahmazing, healthy Food. It's like a Chipotle w/ Mediterranean food! Put one of these up in Scottsdale/PV, please.

    Pita Bistro is, if nothing else, a great deal for the dollar. This is a fast-food Mediterranean joint with full bar service serving customizable salads, wraps, and bowls. The quality of ingredients is mediocre but the portions are hearty and the taste is not bad. There are plenty of people working behind the counter so expect to be served quickly.

    This place is pretty sweet. The ambience of it is pretty awesome and the modern look of the plAce from the seating to even the bathrooms is very nice. The food is pretty good. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because they don't have tzatziki sauce.

    Up until today, I would have recommended anyone to Pita Bistro. I use to come at least once a week. But, I paid 10.81 for a bowl that has significantly less food than the food I paid for last week. This establishment cited a decision to use more economically friendly products. Even if this is true, it is entirely unacceptable to cut portions by ¾ in a matter of 6 weeks while charging the same prices. That's right! This establishment used the ole supply vs. demand switch-a-roo coupled with a marketing technique to create a larger profit. So my decision is clear. I will limit my visits as in a direct result of the company limiting its portions. See ya next quarter! ***BIG SIGHS***! ~~~~~Update~~~~~~~~~~ Believe it or not the bowl was with a request for extra chicken shawerma. And I believe I should update this review further because I don't believe that business decision was right.This response was provided to the business owner. Thank you for your response Nas G. Unfortunately, my views are the same. Also, I am pretty sure the bowls are not the same size. Today, one of the crew workers had to smash the veggies just to add the protein for a person that was ahead of me. That did not include the pita bread which had to be added to the side. In the older bowls it was added in without an issue. I can go to chipotle and get the same amount of food for $6.95, not $10.81. I am not impressed with the changes, rather disappointed.

    I don't normally write reviews, but i feel the need to on this one. I love the food, the atmosphere and the overall feel of the restaurant. But the customer service was horrible. The two girls serving the food on the line seemed like zombies, very unhappy and didn't even say hi, just asked what i wanted. They just kind of slinged everything i wanted in my bowl and that was it. My wife is a very picky eater, she originally wanted a chicken schwarma and the person started throwing stuff in it, not even asking if she wanted any of it. When i asked her to remake it, she kind of gave an attitude, quickly wrapped up and threw away the food. She remade it but did not seem happy about it. The girl at the register was very nice, i left a tip for her. The sad part is, this was my first time here. My wife and i have been talking about checking this place out for a while and we were very disappointed with our experience. I guess the take away from this is that the food and atmosphere are great, not going to take that away from them, but the customer service is very lacking and downright depressing. If the service had been different, i would have given a 5 star rating.

    I tried this place because I wanted something different and healthier than the usual options. Needless to say my tastebuds thanked my "self" for making that decision and taking the plunge. The wait in line was longer than what it took for me to devour that chicken shawarma wrap! The chicken was juicy and well done, the hummus had an extraordinary taste, and the pita chips where crispy and golden! I added feta cheese to my wrap and then dipped it in hummus. I'm sure that made the experience more memorable. I'll definitely be back. I work right down the street.

    Saw this place from the outside on my way to a training for work and knew immediately I would have to try the food and raw juice bar!! Went with the girls for lunch that day and we absolutely fell in love!! The food was amazingly delicious and we couldn't stop raving about every bite we took! On top of that we were able to customize a raw juice which I loved the idea of and the taste even more! Let's just say we were hooked from the beginning and went back for lunch everyday and for juices on breaks from the training. It wasn't only the food and juice that brought us back..we were drawn instantly to the charisma of Nas and Sam and the attention they had to the atmosphere and attention to detail for their customers! I love the feeling of the place and you can tell that they live to a philosophy and not only to making money! I will be visiting as often as possible, even after the end of my training..they have made me a loyal customer

    The long line was totally worth the wait. The service was great, the place was brightly lit and clean and the food is good! The only thing I would change or request would be a half sizable. This is too much food for lunch for me. Other than that I have zero complaints!

    This is about a five minute walk from my office, so I have had a few opportunities to go here. Both times I have ordered the Gyro. I like these and they are a safe bet when having Mediterranean style food. Their Gyro's are pretty awesome! Lots of flavor and stuffed. You also get to build your own, so adding rice and other items such as cucumber and beans. Great casual atmosphere with an outside patio. Very clean and pretty fast service. It does get busy at lunch time, so there can be a ten minute wait or longer to place your order.

  • Wendy L.

    I love this place. Think Chipolte but Mediterranean. Very healthy, Enormous portions (Usually I make a Hummus bowl last for 2 meals), fresh, appealing presentation, charming staff. At abt $9 what a deal!!!I wish there were more of these in PHX, now that I don't work near their airport/Cotton Center location I miss it terribly

  • Jake W.

    By far the best Mediterranean food in the area. Serving size is enough for two meals. Price is great. Fast food pricing for healthy delicious food. Meat is fresh and cooked daily. Hummus is incredible. Chicken is spiced to perfection. Gyro is the freshest in town. The serving set up is identical to chipotle. Atmosphere is very comfortable and clean. There will be a full service bar very soon. If you need a quick meal and don't want fattening fried food this is the place for you. Most fast food pita joints are dingy and smell. This place is most certainly deserving of a five star review.

  • Diego L.

    Stopped by again today. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap. Added the Sriracha humus (by the way, the Sriracha humus is Amazing, just enough kick). Overall it was amazing. Great portion size of chicken. I went in hungry and came out Fully Satisfied. I would recommend it. Was very busy for lunch time. Staff seemed to be handling the crowd well. Nice to see a local eatery doing well. Eat here guys!

    I grabbed lunch to go here today and I can't think of anything negative to say. The staff were friendly, the food was fresh, portions were generous and price was reasonable. The only reason I may not go here again is because Hummus Xpress is just down the street and seems to have a wider variety of authentic Mediterranean options.

  • Suz K.

    Completely mediocre. The original hummus has no flavor, what they call tzaiziki is fatty and bland. With so many better options within a 10 minute drive, I am amazed they're still open. First timer, last timer.

  • Laura W.

    I always do the chicken schwarma and I customize it. I either get it in hummus bowl form or wrapped in a pita. The chicken is so good! Lots of Kalmata olives too!

  • Naomi E.

    Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! I loved the food selection. I ordered a create your own bowel with chicken. All the food looked and tasted fresh. The smoothies are made on the spot with fresh whole ingredients. I had the strawberry. It's set up like a Subway or Chipotle where you stand in line and they make your meal as you walk along. Be warned, the line around lunch can be very long. Staff was friendly and helpful for a first timer as well.

  • Lisa W.

    I took my 3 kids to dinner here and we each got different things and everyone really enjoyed their food. I got the kabob with a build your own bowl. The food was fresh and very good. We tried the jalapeño hummus and sriracha hummus. It was fresh and very flavorful. We also tried the original and it was fair, not enough flavor. My son enjoyed his falafel and daughters both enjoyed their steak wrap and steak build your own bowl. I wish I had tried the PB sauce. My kids really liked it. The baklava was fair. My kids liked it but I didn't think it tasted fresh.

    This place is great. Kind of like a middle eastern chipotle. Bowls and the fresh juices are my go-to's. My ONLY complaint is that they recently changed the size of the bowl(smaller) and you're still paying the same price..And trust me.. they are NOT the same size lol.

    The food here tastes very fresh. The staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable. The portions are excellent - particularly if you make your own bowl, then it's huge and delicious! The atmosphere is light and casual. Not sure what else to say except I eat here regularly because it is always an excellent experience.

    The Chipotle of Middle Eastern food, if you like hummus and garlic this is the place for you - YUM YUM - the PB Dip is delicious. Great atmosphere and delicious fresh RAW juices.

  • Jaime R.

    Love this new lunch spot! My go-to is a hummus bowl with chicken. It's great to have healthy options close to the office. I've never had any issues with the quality of food, although (like someone else mentioned) it seems like they're being a little more stingy with portion sizes, particularly the hummus. In spite of that, I would give 5 stars if I didn't think my order was a giant inconvenience to many of the staff. I know the lunch rush can be stressful but I just get the feeling some of the employees could use a little more patience. Great overall!

  • Shelby M.

    So Fresh and Delicious! I was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and fresh food. I had a hummus bowl with falafel and it was fantastic. My friend had a great big Mediterranean burrito-thing that looked great if you're not thinking about calories. Place was packed but they move the line along swiftly. I wish there were more of these as I probably won't find myself in the neighborhood again soon.

  • Jessica K.

    Wow. I don't even know where to begin. I'll start with my warm and welcoming introduction to the restaurant - smiling faces and hellos from each and every staff member. The feel is casual yet exclusive. - Modern yet warm. The best part is - YOU decide every detail of what goes into your food. I ordered a bowl (generous portion) and specified how I wanted it - the options are really endless and taste fresh. Only negative comment was their light fixtures by the bar (yeah, they have a full service alcohol bar opening soon) were blocking the TVs somewhat. Anyway, I will be back soon! New favorite joint!

  • Lauryn M.

    Absolutely amazing! Being from Detroit I have yet to find a place in AZ that truly has Mediterranean cuisine that I am accustom to! Many have tried and failed but pita Bistro has come and conquered! In the 3 weeks it's been open I've been here twice and tried something different, I was impressed each time! As a vegetarian I have options and combinations for days, and I plan on trying them all! Amazing! I am a Pita Bistro Fan! See you guys next week!

    Very good. First time here. I got a gyro. I like the concept. Kind of like chipotle for Mediterranean food. The gyro I got was huge as well. Lots of meat and toppings. Well worth it.

  • Pat M.

    This establishment was a real find on a Saturday afternoon looking for something new. The staff was very courteous, the selection varied, and the food was great. The "raw juices" was a nice add to menu. Hummus was particularly good. You can build your own gyro with a lot of choices to make it to your particular taste. Try this place!

    (5)
  • Tim Z.

    Mediterranean version of Chipotle. Hummus bowls and gyros are amazing. Be prepared to wait about 10-15 minutes in line during lunch hour. The one drawback: this is the only location. Hopefully they franchise elsewhere in phoenix!

    I learned about this place through a co-worker while we were in the area for training for 8 days and fell in love with it the very first visit. I've visited everyday of training and will be taking my husband this weekend. There's a variety of options with the option to create your own meaI, it's open kitchen style is awesome ( you choose what and how much you want) also I love the fact that there's a raw juice bar with a full bar coming soon . Our training class noticed we were visiting daily and they too decided to visit and they loved it also. With that being said this is a very nice and clean establishment with excellent customer service and great food. Go give it a try

    Thanks to Nas for responding. I think that's really cool. Though I didn't take you up on your offer, I did go back recently. There was a lady in line in front of me who had never been there, so I got to describe what everything was and told her everything was good. We both got exactly what we wanted, I even asked for an extra side of dressing which was quickly loaded in my bowl. I hadn't tried the hummus very much my first few times. I did this time and it was AWESOME! Ask for extra pita, it's so good you'll want to eat it all!

    Three of us went there for the first time after hearing about it from a friend and looking up the menu online. I ordered the gyro wrap and WOW, it was great. You can select all the fresh vegie items, flavored hummus, and a variety of other things to put inside at no additional charge (like the PB dip - Awesome!). Then they pile on a boatload of meat! I could barely finish it. Oh, the prices are extremely reasonable. We'll be back next week for the chicken!

  • Domenic D.

    Good food, clean place.The hummus salad bowl I ordered they only put very few little lettuce greens and alot of hummus,if you want extra lettuce they double charge you for a second bowl and they say there not able to give out anymore. I been to this place a few times and it's the same story.if I'm gonna spend $18 on a salad I rather go somewhere else.

    I attended here with my daughter, no kids menu and the staff seemed annoyed when I asked. I should have checked out on yelp before we went in. It was lunch so they were really busy. We ordered the hummus and pita chips which my daughter gobbled up immediately. We also had a chicken shwarma salad and a gyro wrap. The salad had way too much oregano on it and the chicken was totally dried out and the wrap had a really weird dressing on it but the gyro meat was great. My daughter loved the strawberry smoothie. Decent for lunch but doubt we will come back just because of costumer service. The only person that even looked like they wanted to be working their was the smoothie operator!

    This is my second time dining in since the establishment first opened it's doors. I was excited to see something different in the area. Something unlike the traditional fast food restaurants. As a fan favorite of Mediterranean food the concept of this restaurant is the way we want to see our food establishments move to. Similar concept to Chipolte though much more options to choose from. The venue is very trendy with a healthy atmosphere type of flare. You walk in and there are virtual menus on large digitals screens making it easy to view the menu options. What is nice is there are suggestions to choose from our you can create your own. I have not been daring and ordered the same thing I had the first time which was the Chicken Shawerma Pita. I got it as is minus the PB Dip. I added the mediterranean chop along with a vinaigrette. The portion was perfect. Matter of fact it was not to heavy it was just right. Next time around I plan to be more creative as the restaurant has kabobs, salads, tasty sides and an affordable juice bar. I did go at lunch time both times. The line was super long but went fast. There are plenty of staff on hand to make the process smooth. Pros: It's clean. I repeat it is clean To Go Cooler with pre made salads and other food options Plenty of seating inside though the outside seating is not setup yet Mini bar with happy hour coming soon Beer, Wine and Spirits coming soon I hope to see more of these pop up in the valley. I see great things for this mediterranean style of restaurant.

    Very fresh and tasty ingredients. I love all the different hummus be it siracha or jalapeño varieties. Chicken kebabs skewers are delicious. I always get the kickin kabab. This is served with rice and lentils. Yelp checkers receive 10% off their total order.

  • Chelsea S.

    Chipotle for Greek food! What?!?! It's very well kept inside, spunky environment with a bar and tvs! So happy I stopped here, the pita chips are superb. Staff was extremely friendly and was not pricey at all. I will be visiting again soon!

  • Roz M.

    This is my go to place whenever I'm leaving Sky Harbor Airport or whenever I'm in the neighborhood! A friend first introduced me to it after he went there three times while in town for training, since then my fiance and I do in at least twice a month! My favorite thing to order is the Build A Bowl with the Gyro meat and you must try the PB dip! On one visit I ordered a build your own salad, which didn't seem any different on what you can add and the price is the same as build a bowl. I prefer eating the food there because it is so fresh and I usually can't wait to eat it. Besides the bowls, they also have wraps and fresh smoothies made to order. They have added an alcohol bar since our first visits, which confused me a little since it seemed like a healthy option rather then a hangout spot. But over all the establishment is clean and the food is good!

  • Tyler S.

    Wow! Food was great and customer service was even better. Definitely somewhere I will be coming back to and recommending to anyone who enjoys fantastic Mediterranean food and even better service. Not one employee didn't have a smile on their face. No complaints!

    The hummus bowl is the bomb!!! I got the roasted red pepper one (create your own), lentils, a little but of rice, fattoush salad, and red onions! Yum! Everything on the menu is quick, delicious and affordable. I cannot go without the garlic dip served on the side

    I would give them 6 more stars if yelp would allow it! Pita Bistro catered a wedding rehearsal dinner for my family last week! The restaurant staff was very very attentive, and went out of their way to add extra decorations and garnish! Pricing by far beat any local restaurant in the valley!! We ordered gyro, chicken kabobs, salads, and hummus the potions sizes were filling for all of the guests and the staff even packaged it up nicely so that we were able to warm it in the oven the next day!! THANK YOU PITA BISTRO!

    Busy lunch time place. They take the orders quickly, and are friendly even if they are busy. Fun, modern upbeat décor. The bathroom area is fun with the communal sink. Got food to go, and was very pleased with the tabouli salad w/ chicken, and my guy had the Greek salad w/gyro meat... I was told it was a big hit. Nice healthy food options if you want. Would come back if in the area no question. Also very impressed with the staff that wore "in training " badges. ...they didn't buckle under the crowd and we're super friendly. Well, run place it seems.

  • Randie D.

    I am so impressed with this place! I met my husband for lunch during the week and I didn't really know what to expect. But it was so good. It reminds me of a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. I got the veggie combo hummus bowl and added a chicken skewer. You basically can tell them what you'd like in it as it goes down the line, with hummus as the base. They also do wraps, salads, and even juice and smoothies. Their system is better than the assembly line they do at Chipotle (where one person does meats, one person does salsa, etc.)... here you have one person and they go down and finish preparing your entire meal and hand it off to the cashier, then they return back to the front of the line and take the next person. So during the lunch rush, it was very busy and they were well staffed and it moved very nicely. I appreciated that. The veggie combo was so good. The fallafel was crispy and flavorful, the red pepper hummus was really good, and whatever they marinade the chicken in is amazing! My husband usually isn't a big fan of just grilled chicken but he loved it. I was so full and still have half of my bowl left. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and simple. They also have 3 different options for brewed iced tea which I love! It was a little pricey but for the quality and taste I'd say it's worth it. I saw a sign that said they are opening a full bar soon and adding a happy hour menu. I will definitely be back!

    Yesterday was my first time trying Pita Bistro, and I am a fan. I just had the Greek salad with vinaigrette dressing, and topped with half chicken and half lamb. Both meats were delicious. The chicken is roasted and diced and very juicy, and the lamb is sliced thin, with some crispy edges, like it was cut from the spit.

    Update: 2nd visit and hate to say it but the honeymoon must be over. Ordered the exact same thing again and it was half the portion they served from opening week. It was still delicious, they just set the expectation too high from the first time.

    So, not a fan of hummus at all! Just so you know. With that being said, I have never been to a fast food Mediterranean/gyro place until now for that reason. Reminded me of a very popular burrito fast food restaurant that gets your order done right as you get to checkout with all the fixings you want along the way. I ordered the gyro, with all the veggies and extra tzakziki sauce to wash it down. The burrito, I mean gyro/pita, was rather good despite my lack of enthusiasm for knowing there were so many other good places to eat for lunch near by. I am giving this 3 stars, not just because I hate hummus, but also because I am not a fan of fast food of any kind, especially chipotle style fast food. The food was healthy and fresh which is why this is not a 2 or 1 star. As far as price goes, this restaurant gets 4 stars in my book. Cheap and quick! An upgrade from my original 2 star review before the owner contacted me personally through yelp.

    I have been eating here for months now and feel the same way today as I felt when they first opened... I STILL LOVE IT! Food: I've read a complaint about the bowl size change, have to DISAGREE. The amount of food today is the same as before, just changed the bowl type and I actually like the new ones more. And UNLIKE chipotle you can add anything that can fit onto your bowl without the up charge, at chipotle there's a fee for the extras and a bowl ends up costing $10-$11! Food tastes fresh and the flavor is on point! Service: the staff here gets a 5 star rating from me. Very kind and friendly, and no matter how long th line is they always seem to maintain a quick flow and get you your food fast. Environment: really nice, modern & cozy feel. Good music playing. And really clean. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Nom, nom, nom. I could eat here very day. The flavors are so wonderful, everything tastes fresh and authentic, the prices are really fair, and the staff is friendly. I just wish there was one closer to my house! (Or maybe not, since I probably would eat here daily if it were that close!). But seriously this place is so good for that build-your-own bowl type of dining or just go with their recommendations. I've tried their schwarma, falafel, fresh juices, hummus, etc. You won't be disappointed!

    AMAZING food! I loved that I got to customize my bowl exactly how I wanted it. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. The PB sauce is a must! I'll definitely be back!

    So I went in there today looking for something light. I opted for just hummus and chips. I chose the $3.99 size of Cilantro and Jalapeno Hummus. Was I in for a shock. GROSS!!! I could have used this stuff to lube a car. It was oozing with what tasted like cooking oil, and not fresh cooking oil. The worst thing is that the label did not even indicate that oil was an ingredient.

    Came here on a recommendation. ..was really disappointed. The pita was thin and cold. The portion discrepancy others have mentioned is very real. Mine was easily half the size of the woman in front me . Same dish. The hummus bowl. There are too many excellent fresh Mediterranean places in the metro area to have such terrible pita and inconsistencies. Definitely won't go again

    Hit this place for lunch. Was fast, and once I got my Gyro Southstreet, it was delicious. The PB was good, they say is their creation but I've had very similar "spread" in other places. Was a nice experience. The ONLY thing that would need improvement is that the personell should try and be a little more friendly. Only the guy in training was smiling and very cheerful.

    The food is good, everything else about the place is meh, the service is mixed. I've been here about 20+ times since the beginning and it's gone slowly downhill to the point that I stopped going over a month ago. The main reason is the owner/employees did nothing to make regulars feel welcome. My final straw was when they increased their prices without any notice. I'm not very price sensitive, but when it feels like the owners are doing everything in their power to squeeze extra pennies out of you, enough is is enough. You'll pay $2+ more than Chipotle at this place, for slightly lesser quality food. Plus you have to deal with a company mistreats customers with ridiculous practices. One minor thing is their punch card program (through an app) is limited to wraps. If you order a bowl, then it's not eligible for a punch, despite the bowls costing more than a wrap. Not a big deal, but annoying after I tried a bowl and realized I like it more than the wraps and already having some punches in the program. It just doesn't make sense if you're trying to create loyalty and repeat customers. You'll read from the early reviews complaints about portion sizes decreasing and/or being inconsistent. The owners listened to the inconsistent part (the decreased portions remain, but honestly their portions are still good... nothing to complain about.) They put the same girl (not sure if she's an owner or why she cares so much) on the meat and she's akin to the soup nazi of Seinfeld. There were times it seemed like I got less portions on the hummus (beginning of the bowl) or meat and/or I was just extra hungry... whatever the case, the two times I asked her for more meat didn't go over very well. The first time she put a crumb of meat on to appease me. The next time she told me it's extra for double meat. I said I just wanted a little extra and she said no. There was one time I went in during the early afternoon when it was slow. The person who started my bowl also did the meat since she didn't want to put her gloves back on. Instead she checked me out at the register, but the entire time she had her eyes over on the guy putting meat on my bowl, even as she was talking to me and handing me my receipt. It's one thing to be stingy with the meat and another to be rude to a customer. I don't like either and getting both qualities is too much for me to handle. I blame the owner 100%. The positives of this place are: the food tastes great. It's really oily and will keep you full for a long time. I often am not hungry for dinner after eating here and instead opt for a smaller meal before bed. The service is quick, although lines can get long. I got taken in by their food and wanted to love this place, but I've never had any positive service experiences here. It's either neutral or negative. The owner is trying to make a dollar and it shows big time. You'll feel like a wallet coming here instead of a human customer. This place is the complete opposite of Joe Johnston's Gilbert restaurants in terms of customer appreciation.

    Outstanding for the price!!! This is basically Chipotle but Mediterranean food. It's good, it's fresh, the PB sauce is basically the same Garlic Mayo type sauce that they have over at Haji Baba (the best in the state). For $7.95 you build your own bowl and its enough to keep you full for a day. Great food. I hope they open one of these in Chandler.

    I came here for lunch and was so glad I did! It was really busy, but I had no problem finding a seat. I hate the comparison to Chipotle because I really can't stand Chipotle, but it is that kind of assembly line that enables you to get exactly what you want. I had the hummus bowl with the siracha and jalapeno ciliantro hummus, salad, tablouleh, cucumber tomato salad, olives, feta, and more. For $7.95, it was more than enough and was fresh and delicious! I didn't try any PB sauce, or any other sauce. The pita is thin, but I didn't mind that and thought it was really good. As far as portion discrepancy, I saw that it does depend on the person making the bowl, but I am not afraid to ask for more if I feel I'm not getting what I want. They didn't give me any grief about it and gave me more. No problem. I definitely recommend this place and will come back next time I'm in Phoenix.

    Friend introduced me to pita bistro. Really good! Yelp, I love the deal you have for free chips and hummus with purchase of a wrap. I had the chicken shawarma with pickles, toms, lentils, and lettuce. I loved it! This would be a regular spot for me if I still lived in Phx. It's bomb! Liked the TVs too- oh and there is even a small bar here....price is really great too. Fresh brewed tea, pita wrap, chips and hummus for 9 bucks. Beat dhat.

    I learned about this place through a co-worker while we were in the area for training for 8 days and fell in love with it the very first visit. I've visited everyday of training and will be taking my husband this weekend. There's a variety of options with the option to create your own meaI, it's open kitchen style is awesome ( you choose what and how much you want) also I love the fact that there's a raw juice bar with a full bar coming soon . Our training class noticed we were visiting daily and they too decided to visit and they loved it also. With that being said this is a very nice and clean establishment with excellent customer service and great food. Go give it a try

    Thanks to Nas for responding. I think that's really cool. Though I didn't take you up on your offer, I did go back recently. There was a lady in line in front of me who had never been there, so I got to describe what everything was and told her everything was good. We both got exactly what we wanted, I even asked for an extra side of dressing which was quickly loaded in my bowl. I hadn't tried the hummus very much my first few times. I did this time and it was AWESOME! Ask for extra pita, it's so good you'll want to eat it all!

    Three of us went there for the first time after hearing about it from a friend and looking up the menu online. I ordered the gyro wrap and WOW, it was great. You can select all the fresh vegie items, flavored hummus, and a variety of other things to put inside at no additional charge (like the PB dip - Awesome!). Then they pile on a boatload of meat! I could barely finish it. Oh, the prices are extremely reasonable. We'll be back next week for the chicken!

    Mediterranean version of Chipotle. Hummus bowls and gyros are amazing. Be prepared to wait about 10-15 minutes in line during lunch hour. The one drawback: this is the only location. Hopefully they franchise elsewhere in phoenix!

    (5)
  • Jake W.

    By far the best Mediterranean food in the area. Serving size is enough for two meals. Price is great. Fast food pricing for healthy delicious food. Meat is fresh and cooked daily. Hummus is incredible. Chicken is spiced to perfection. Gyro is the freshest in town. The serving set up is identical to chipotle. Atmosphere is very comfortable and clean. There will be a full service bar very soon. If you need a quick meal and don't want fattening fried food this is the place for you. Most fast food pita joints are dingy and smell. This place is most certainly deserving of a five star review.

    Very good. First time here. I got a gyro. I like the concept. Kind of like chipotle for Mediterranean food. The gyro I got was huge as well. Lots of meat and toppings. Well worth it.

    This establishment was a real find on a Saturday afternoon looking for something new. The staff was very courteous, the selection varied, and the food was great. The "raw juices" was a nice add to menu. Hummus was particularly good. You can build your own gyro with a lot of choices to make it to your particular taste. Try this place!

    So, not a fan of hummus at all! Just so you know. With that being said, I have never been to a fast food Mediterranean/gyro place until now for that reason. Reminded me of a very popular burrito fast food restaurant that gets your order done right as you get to checkout with all the fixings you want along the way. I ordered the gyro, with all the veggies and extra tzakziki sauce to wash it down. The burrito, I mean gyro/pita, was rather good despite my lack of enthusiasm for knowing there were so many other good places to eat for lunch near by. I am giving this 3 stars, not just because I hate hummus, but also because I am not a fan of fast food of any kind, especially chipotle style fast food. The food was healthy and fresh which is why this is not a 2 or 1 star. As far as price goes, this restaurant gets 4 stars in my book. Cheap and quick! An upgrade from my original 2 star review before the owner contacted me personally through yelp.

  • Justin S.

    I have been eating here for months now and feel the same way today as I felt when they first opened... I STILL LOVE IT! Food: I've read a complaint about the bowl size change, have to DISAGREE. The amount of food today is the same as before, just changed the bowl type and I actually like the new ones more. And UNLIKE chipotle you can add anything that can fit onto your bowl without the up charge, at chipotle there's a fee for the extras and a bowl ends up costing $10-$11! Food tastes fresh and the flavor is on point! Service: the staff here gets a 5 star rating from me. Very kind and friendly, and no matter how long th line is they always seem to maintain a quick flow and get you your food fast. Environment: really nice, modern & cozy feel. Good music playing. And really clean. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

    Nom, nom, nom. I could eat here very day. The flavors are so wonderful, everything tastes fresh and authentic, the prices are really fair, and the staff is friendly. I just wish there was one closer to my house! (Or maybe not, since I probably would eat here daily if it were that close!). But seriously this place is so good for that build-your-own bowl type of dining or just go with their recommendations. I've tried their schwarma, falafel, fresh juices, hummus, etc. You won't be disappointed!

    This place is pretty sweet. The ambience of it is pretty awesome and the modern look of the plAce from the seating to even the bathrooms is very nice. The food is pretty good. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because they don't have tzatziki sauce.

    AWESOME! Everything about this place is awesome! I got referred here by a friend and decided to bring my wife. She got the chicken sandwich and I made a create your own bowl. Chicken is marinated perfectly and the ADD-ONs! Where do I start, from the different choices of hummus to the PB dip. There are so many choices! Ambience is cool with a nice bar for cocktails and some tv's, very modern. Next time I'm gonna have to try one of there raw juices, they looked great.

    Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! I loved the food selection. I ordered a create your own bowel with chicken. All the food looked and tasted fresh. The smoothies are made on the spot with fresh whole ingredients. I had the strawberry. It's set up like a Subway or Chipotle where you stand in line and they make your meal as you walk along. Be warned, the line around lunch can be very long. Staff was friendly and helpful for a first timer as well.

    This place is great. Kind of like a middle eastern chipotle. Bowls and the fresh juices are my go-to's. My ONLY complaint is that they recently changed the size of the bowl(smaller) and you're still paying the same price..And trust me.. they are NOT the same size lol.

  • Sir Jebediah T.

    I work in a business complex nearby and come here for lunch from time to time. To keep it short and sweet, the food is pretty tasty (and plentiful. They definitely aren't stingy with their servings). The salad is my favorite thing there; that sucker is beastly. You can stretch that thing out to cover two meals. And I'm a pretty beefy fella so that says a lot. I only wish their hummus was a little more flavorful. But besides that, the place is legit.

    The food at pita bistro was good, nothing to go crazy about. For the $11 I paid for my meal it was worth it. I got a pita bowl with hummus, a lot of veggies, and gyro meat. The meat was delicious, but they loaded it up with hummus. I recommend the sriracha hummus!! The only major negative I had was the pita bread pieces. They seemed to firm and stale. It could have very well of been a bad batch of pita bread, but overall I would recommend this place to someone who is in for a tasty and healthy meal for anywhere from $8-$12.

  • Mia N.

    I have passed this place many times on my way to and from work, and recently decided to stop in to pick up dinner. I tried a salad and I got a hummus bowl for my boyfriend. We both agreed the portions were pretty big. However, next time I will probably just get a hummus bowl, bc the hummus bowl comes with salad in it, it just has extra stuff too! I forgot all of what the choices of extras you could add to your bowl, but I remember there were lots of veggies, which I liked. For all of the other reviews who said service wasn't that great, I would disagree. The girl serving me my food was really friendly and took her time explaining things to me. She also had me try their PB sauce, which was interesting bc it was vegan but it tasted really creamy. I liked it! Especially since I can't eat dairy. I wouldn't say the flavors were out of this world, but I like that it's a healthy quick option for food, that is really convenient to where I live. I will be back!

    Pita Bistro is, if nothing else, a great deal for the dollar. This is a fast-food Mediterranean joint with full bar service serving customizable salads, wraps, and bowls. The quality of ingredients is mediocre but the portions are hearty and the taste is not bad. There are plenty of people working behind the counter so expect to be served quickly.

  • Domenic D.

    Good food, clean place.The hummus salad bowl I ordered they only put very few little lettuce greens and alot of hummus,if you want extra lettuce they double charge you for a second bowl and they say there not able to give out anymore. I been to this place a few times and it's the same story.if I'm gonna spend $18 on a salad I rather go somewhere else.

    I attended here with my daughter, no kids menu and the staff seemed annoyed when I asked. I should have checked out on yelp before we went in. It was lunch so they were really busy. We ordered the hummus and pita chips which my daughter gobbled up immediately. We also had a chicken shwarma salad and a gyro wrap. The salad had way too much oregano on it and the chicken was totally dried out and the wrap had a really weird dressing on it but the gyro meat was great. My daughter loved the strawberry smoothie. Decent for lunch but doubt we will come back just because of costumer service. The only person that even looked like they wanted to be working their was the smoothie operator!

    This is my second time dining in since the establishment first opened it's doors. I was excited to see something different in the area. Something unlike the traditional fast food restaurants. As a fan favorite of Mediterranean food the concept of this restaurant is the way we want to see our food establishments move to. Similar concept to Chipolte though much more options to choose from. The venue is very trendy with a healthy atmosphere type of flare. You walk in and there are virtual menus on large digitals screens making it easy to view the menu options. What is nice is there are suggestions to choose from our you can create your own. I have not been daring and ordered the same thing I had the first time which was the Chicken Shawerma Pita. I got it as is minus the PB Dip. I added the mediterranean chop along with a vinaigrette. The portion was perfect. Matter of fact it was not to heavy it was just right. Next time around I plan to be more creative as the restaurant has kabobs, salads, tasty sides and an affordable juice bar. I did go at lunch time both times. The line was super long but went fast. There are plenty of staff on hand to make the process smooth. Pros: It's clean. I repeat it is clean To Go Cooler with pre made salads and other food options Plenty of seating inside though the outside seating is not setup yet Mini bar with happy hour coming soon Beer, Wine and Spirits coming soon I hope to see more of these pop up in the valley. I see great things for this mediterranean style of restaurant.

    Very fresh and tasty ingredients. I love all the different hummus be it siracha or jalapeño varieties. Chicken kebabs skewers are delicious. I always get the kickin kabab. This is served with rice and lentils. Yelp checkers receive 10% off their total order.

    Chipotle for Greek food! What?!?! It's very well kept inside, spunky environment with a bar and tvs! So happy I stopped here, the pita chips are superb. Staff was extremely friendly and was not pricey at all. I will be visiting again soon!

    I took my 3 kids to dinner here and we each got different things and everyone really enjoyed their food. I got the kabob with a build your own bowl. The food was fresh and very good. We tried the jalapeño hummus and sriracha hummus. It was fresh and very flavorful. We also tried the original and it was fair, not enough flavor. My son enjoyed his falafel and daughters both enjoyed their steak wrap and steak build your own bowl. I wish I had tried the PB sauce. My kids really liked it. The baklava was fair. My kids liked it but I didn't think it tasted fresh.

  • Roz M.

    This is my go to place whenever I'm leaving Sky Harbor Airport or whenever I'm in the neighborhood! A friend first introduced me to it after he went there three times while in town for training, since then my fiance and I do in at least twice a month! My favorite thing to order is the Build A Bowl with the Gyro meat and you must try the PB dip! On one visit I ordered a build your own salad, which didn't seem any different on what you can add and the price is the same as build a bowl. I prefer eating the food there because it is so fresh and I usually can't wait to eat it. Besides the bowls, they also have wraps and fresh smoothies made to order. They have added an alcohol bar since our first visits, which confused me a little since it seemed like a healthy option rather then a hangout spot. But over all the establishment is clean and the food is good!

    Busy lunch time place. They take the orders quickly, and are friendly even if they are busy. Fun, modern upbeat décor. The bathroom area is fun with the communal sink. Got food to go, and was very pleased with the tabouli salad w/ chicken, and my guy had the Greek salad w/gyro meat... I was told it was a big hit. Nice healthy food options if you want. Would come back if in the area no question. Also very impressed with the staff that wore "in training " badges. ...they didn't buckle under the crowd and we're super friendly. Well, run place it seems.

    I would give them 6 more stars if yelp would allow it! Pita Bistro catered a wedding rehearsal dinner for my family last week! The restaurant staff was very very attentive, and went out of their way to add extra decorations and garnish! Pricing by far beat any local restaurant in the valley!! We ordered gyro, chicken kabobs, salads, and hummus the potions sizes were filling for all of the guests and the staff even packaged it up nicely so that we were able to warm it in the oven the next day!! THANK YOU PITA BISTRO!

  • Randie D.

    I am so impressed with this place! I met my husband for lunch during the week and I didn't really know what to expect. But it was so good. It reminds me of a Chipotle for Mediterranean food. I got the veggie combo hummus bowl and added a chicken skewer. You basically can tell them what you'd like in it as it goes down the line, with hummus as the base. They also do wraps, salads, and even juice and smoothies. Their system is better than the assembly line they do at Chipotle (where one person does meats, one person does salsa, etc.)... here you have one person and they go down and finish preparing your entire meal and hand it off to the cashier, then they return back to the front of the line and take the next person. So during the lunch rush, it was very busy and they were well staffed and it moved very nicely. I appreciated that. The veggie combo was so good. The fallafel was crispy and flavorful, the red pepper hummus was really good, and whatever they marinade the chicken in is amazing! My husband usually isn't a big fan of just grilled chicken but he loved it. I was so full and still have half of my bowl left. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and simple. They also have 3 different options for brewed iced tea which I love! It was a little pricey but for the quality and taste I'd say it's worth it. I saw a sign that said they are opening a full bar soon and adding a happy hour menu. I will definitely be back!

    Yesterday was my first time trying Pita Bistro, and I am a fan. I just had the Greek salad with vinaigrette dressing, and topped with half chicken and half lamb. Both meats were delicious. The chicken is roasted and diced and very juicy, and the lamb is sliced thin, with some crispy edges, like it was cut from the spit.

    I don't normally write reviews, but i feel the need to on this one. I love the food, the atmosphere and the overall feel of the restaurant. But the customer service was horrible. The two girls serving the food on the line seemed like zombies, very unhappy and didn't even say hi, just asked what i wanted. They just kind of slinged everything i wanted in my bowl and that was it. My wife is a very picky eater, she originally wanted a chicken schwarma and the person started throwing stuff in it, not even asking if she wanted any of it. When i asked her to remake it, she kind of gave an attitude, quickly wrapped up and threw away the food. She remade it but did not seem happy about it. The girl at the register was very nice, i left a tip for her. The sad part is, this was my first time here. My wife and i have been talking about checking this place out for a while and we were very disappointed with our experience. I guess the take away from this is that the food and atmosphere are great, not going to take that away from them, but the customer service is very lacking and downright depressing. If the service had been different, i would have given a 5 star rating.

  • Tim S.

    The food is good, everything else about the place is meh, the service is mixed. I've been here about 20+ times since the beginning and it's gone slowly downhill to the point that I stopped going over a month ago. The main reason is the owner/employees did nothing to make regulars feel welcome. My final straw was when they increased their prices without any notice. I'm not very price sensitive, but when it feels like the owners are doing everything in their power to squeeze extra pennies out of you, enough is is enough. You'll pay $2+ more than Chipotle at this place, for slightly lesser quality food. Plus you have to deal with a company mistreats customers with ridiculous practices. One minor thing is their punch card program (through an app) is limited to wraps. If you order a bowl, then it's not eligible for a punch, despite the bowls costing more than a wrap. Not a big deal, but annoying after I tried a bowl and realized I like it more than the wraps and already having some punches in the program. It just doesn't make sense if you're trying to create loyalty and repeat customers. You'll read from the early reviews complaints about portion sizes decreasing and/or being inconsistent. The owners listened to the inconsistent part (the decreased portions remain, but honestly their portions are still good... nothing to complain about.) They put the same girl (not sure if she's an owner or why she cares so much) on the meat and she's akin to the soup nazi of Seinfeld. There were times it seemed like I got less portions on the hummus (beginning of the bowl) or meat and/or I was just extra hungry... whatever the case, the two times I asked her for more meat didn't go over very well. The first time she put a crumb of meat on to appease me. The next time she told me it's extra for double meat. I said I just wanted a little extra and she said no. There was one time I went in during the early afternoon when it was slow. The person who started my bowl also did the meat since she didn't want to put her gloves back on. Instead she checked me out at the register, but the entire time she had her eyes over on the guy putting meat on my bowl, even as she was talking to me and handing me my receipt. It's one thing to be stingy with the meat and another to be rude to a customer. I don't like either and getting both qualities is too much for me to handle. I blame the owner 100%. The positives of this place are: the food tastes great. It's really oily and will keep you full for a long time. I often am not hungry for dinner after eating here and instead opt for a smaller meal before bed. The service is quick, although lines can get long. I got taken in by their food and wanted to love this place, but I've never had any positive service experiences here. It's either neutral or negative. The owner is trying to make a dollar and it shows big time. You'll feel like a wallet coming here instead of a human customer. This place is the complete opposite of Joe Johnston's Gilbert restaurants in terms of customer appreciation.

    So I went in there today looking for something light. I opted for just hummus and chips. I chose the $3.99 size of Cilantro and Jalapeno Hummus. Was I in for a shock. GROSS!!! I could have used this stuff to lube a car. It was oozing with what tasted like cooking oil, and not fresh cooking oil. The worst thing is that the label did not even indicate that oil was an ingredient.

    Up until today, I would have recommended anyone to Pita Bistro. I use to come at least once a week. But, I paid 10.81 for a bowl that has significantly less food than the food I paid for last week. This establishment cited a decision to use more economically friendly products. Even if this is true, it is entirely unacceptable to cut portions by ¾ in a matter of 6 weeks while charging the same prices. That's right! This establishment used the ole supply vs. demand switch-a-roo coupled with a marketing technique to create a larger profit. So my decision is clear. I will limit my visits as in a direct result of the company limiting its portions. See ya next quarter! ***BIG SIGHS***! ~~~~~Update~~~~~~~~~~ Believe it or not the bowl was with a request for extra chicken shawerma. And I believe I should update this review further because I don't believe that business decision was right.This response was provided to the business owner. Thank you for your response Nas G. Unfortunately, my views are the same. Also, I am pretty sure the bowls are not the same size. Today, one of the crew workers had to smash the veggies just to add the protein for a person that was ahead of me. That did not include the pita bread which had to be added to the side. In the older bowls it was added in without an issue. I can go to chipotle and get the same amount of food for $6.95, not $10.81. I am not impressed with the changes, rather disappointed.

    I tried this place because I wanted something different and healthier than the usual options. Needless to say my tastebuds thanked my "self" for making that decision and taking the plunge. The wait in line was longer than what it took for me to devour that chicken shawarma wrap! The chicken was juicy and well done, the hummus had an extraordinary taste, and the pita chips where crispy and golden! I added feta cheese to my wrap and then dipped it in hummus. I'm sure that made the experience more memorable. I'll definitely be back. I work right down the street.

    Outstanding for the price!!! This is basically Chipotle but Mediterranean food. It's good, it's fresh, the PB sauce is basically the same Garlic Mayo type sauce that they have over at Haji Baba (the best in the state). For $7.95 you build your own bowl and its enough to keep you full for a day. Great food. I hope they open one of these in Chandler.

    Came here on a recommendation. ..was really disappointed. The pita was thin and cold. The portion discrepancy others have mentioned is very real. Mine was easily half the size of the woman in front me . Same dish. The hummus bowl. There are too many excellent fresh Mediterranean places in the metro area to have such terrible pita and inconsistencies. Definitely won't go again

    Hit this place for lunch. Was fast, and once I got my Gyro Southstreet, it was delicious. The PB was good, they say is their creation but I've had very similar "spread" in other places. Was a nice experience. The ONLY thing that would need improvement is that the personell should try and be a little more friendly. Only the guy in training was smiling and very cheerful.

    Went for lunch, great selection and everything had good flavor. Love the concept of healthy and tasty. Pricing seemed reasonable for fresh natural ingredients.

    This place was actually really good. Even the hummus was okay, ( I'm middle eastern, nothing compares to the real thing). Their gyro is amazing, and so is their falafel.

    Love this new lunch spot! My go-to is a hummus bowl with chicken. It's great to have healthy options close to the office. I've never had any issues with the quality of food, although (like someone else mentioned) it seems like they're being a little more stingy with portion sizes, particularly the hummus. In spite of that, I would give 5 stars if I didn't think my order was a giant inconvenience to many of the staff. I know the lunch rush can be stressful but I just get the feeling some of the employees could use a little more patience. Great overall!

    Wow. I don't even know where to begin. I'll start with my warm and welcoming introduction to the restaurant - smiling faces and hellos from each and every staff member. The feel is casual yet exclusive. - Modern yet warm. The best part is - YOU decide every detail of what goes into your food. I ordered a bowl (generous portion) and specified how I wanted it - the options are really endless and taste fresh. Only negative comment was their light fixtures by the bar (yeah, they have a full service alcohol bar opening soon) were blocking the TVs somewhat. Anyway, I will be back soon! New favorite joint!

    Absolutely amazing! Being from Detroit I have yet to find a place in AZ that truly has Mediterranean cuisine that I am accustom to! Many have tried and failed but pita Bistro has come and conquered! In the 3 weeks it's been open I've been here twice and tried something different, I was impressed each time! As a vegetarian I have options and combinations for days, and I plan on trying them all! Amazing! I am a Pita Bistro Fan! See you guys next week!

    Saw this place from the outside on my way to a training for work and knew immediately I would have to try the food and raw juice bar!! Went with the girls for lunch that day and we absolutely fell in love!! The food was amazingly delicious and we couldn't stop raving about every bite we took! On top of that we were able to customize a raw juice which I loved the idea of and the taste even more! Let's just say we were hooked from the beginning and went back for lunch everyday and for juices on breaks from the training. It wasn't only the food and juice that brought us back..we were drawn instantly to the charisma of Nas and Sam and the attention they had to the atmosphere and attention to detail for their customers! I love the feeling of the place and you can tell that they live to a philosophy and not only to making money! I will be visiting as often as possible, even after the end of my training..they have made me a loyal customer

    The long line was totally worth the wait. The service was great, the place was brightly lit and clean and the food is good! The only thing I would change or request would be a half sizable. This is too much food for lunch for me. Other than that I have zero complaints!

    This is about a five minute walk from my office, so I have had a few opportunities to go here. Both times I have ordered the Gyro. I like these and they are a safe bet when having Mediterranean style food. Their Gyro's are pretty awesome! Lots of flavor and stuffed. You also get to build your own, so adding rice and other items such as cucumber and beans. Great casual atmosphere with an outside patio. Very clean and pretty fast service. It does get busy at lunch time, so there can be a ten minute wait or longer to place your order.

    I love this place. Think Chipolte but Mediterranean. Very healthy, Enormous portions (Usually I make a Hummus bowl last for 2 meals), fresh, appealing presentation, charming staff. At abt $9 what a deal!!!I wish there were more of these in PHX, now that I don't work near their airport/Cotton Center location I miss it terribly

    Stopped by again today. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap. Added the Sriracha humus (by the way, the Sriracha humus is Amazing, just enough kick). Overall it was amazing. Great portion size of chicken. I went in hungry and came out Fully Satisfied. I would recommend it. Was very busy for lunch time. Staff seemed to be handling the crowd well. Nice to see a local eatery doing well. Eat here guys!

    The fresh squeezed juices are very good and same with the hummus and perfectly crispy pita chips!

    Completely mediocre. The original hummus has no flavor, what they call tzaiziki is fatty and bland. With so many better options within a 10 minute drive, I am amazed they're still open. First timer, last timer.

    I grabbed lunch to go here today and I can't think of anything negative to say. The staff were friendly, the food was fresh, portions were generous and price was reasonable. The only reason I may not go here again is because Hummus Xpress is just down the street and seems to have a wider variety of authentic Mediterranean options.

    I always do the chicken schwarma and I customize it. I either get it in hummus bowl form or wrapped in a pita. The chicken is so good! Lots of Kalmata olives too!

    The food here tastes very fresh. The staff is friendly. The prices are reasonable. The portions are excellent - particularly if you make your own bowl, then it's huge and delicious! The atmosphere is light and casual. Not sure what else to say except I eat here regularly because it is always an excellent experience.

    Best lunch place ever! The food is fresh, service is fast. Reasonably priced, my favorite lunch spot. I wish they deliver! It's too hot in the summer to drive out and pick up lunch especially the parking lot is always busy.

    So Fresh and Delicious! I was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and fresh food. I had a hummus bowl with falafel and it was fantastic. My friend had a great big Mediterranean burrito-thing that looked great if you're not thinking about calories. Place was packed but they move the line along swiftly. I wish there were more of these as I probably won't find myself in the neighborhood again soon.
