    Falafel Plate
    Ray F.

    Got lunch from this little hole in the wall eatery recently. This is a take it to go place, small like tiny, walk in mediterrean food shack. Walk up counter service with a small register area, open kitchen and grill with counter. No tables or chairs and a bulk drink box. Thats about it. Place your order and its prepared right in front of you, within just a few minutes. I went for the Falafel plate with salad. Nothing fancy but really freakin good. Freshly prepared falafels over a nice mix of salad greens, olives, with feta, tomato slices, peppers, cucumbers and a nice v&o dressing on the side. This little eatery is a really nice vegetarian lunch option and worth a stop. The owners are kind and gracious. 4 Stars recommended 01020

    Packed Gyro with sauce only! Chicago style for the win

    I've been going there for about 7 years. It's the best tasting, most packed up Gyro in the valley. The fresh toppings are awesome too. A big city type spot in Salem. I'll be back

    I'm a little torn about this place. I LOVE a good mom and pop local place. The sandwich meat was fresh, warm, and toppings plentiful. I, personally, am not a fan of cinnamon in my meat and that's the only downfall to this sandwich. The toppings were super fresh and crisp and the tzatziki sauce was beyond delicious. And I liked the way that you got a whole round pita stuffed instead of the half pocket. Fries: Big nope from me. I asked for them well done and I think he forgot about them cause they were basically black when they came out. Watched to see if he would actually serve them and he did. Had to have them redone. Even redone I'm not sure they should have been served. On top of the fact that a side of fries is $5.50! I know prices have gone up but there is no way these fries should cost $5+. All in all, if I go back I may try a platter or a salad. But with the meat having cinnamon I may not be back at all. The store itself is a bit shabby, not a lot of decoration but also not really meant to eat in so I get there being a lack of ambiance. I wish them all the luck and it seems they are doing well. Just probably have to get my local gyro fix elsewhere.

    The best GYRO ever. But the sides bar take it to a 10 star. Don't pass this gem up. There is no indoor seating.

I've had my hair red, ginger, fire-engine red, since July. The hair in the bowl was black. Similar to the managers (just a reference, not accusatory). I was only offered a refund after I said I was leaving a review... overall disappointed. Very unprofessional. Definitely needs more training. Not only is she rude to the customers, but also her employees. As I was choosing my sides, she comes to the front and says to the girl making my bowl, "why are you using that many toppings, it's only one spoon. You should know this by now.". Then rolled her eyes and kept working. There's a Chipotle and Qdoba within 20 feet, that are notably less expensive, so I'll just give those a try next time. Plus they don't skimp on toppings! Imagine charging $13 per bowl, to only give out teaspoons worth of the sides. We literally get offered more sauces than sides . I only tried this place because it's newish and close to my job. The house-made drinks were good though. Overall, pricey for the value, poor customer service, wouldn't recommend. Especially with current management.

    For years now I have been walking by this quick-service restaurant franchise specializing in…read moremade-to-order pita sandwiches with fresh vegetables, grilled meats and sauces, and never had I thought of stopping by to try it out, for one reason or another. But today, after studying the history of their company, which began in 1995, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and a few years later began in the US, I decided that I definitely had to try it out. With their "fresh thinking, healthy eating" moto, I find that they are a fresh, healthy, alternative to traditional high-fat, high-carb, high-calorie fast foods. When I arrived, I had already downloaded their Pita Pit, USA app. and joined their Loyalty Program. As soon as I did this I received an email coupon for a bogo pita. Buy one, get one free. From the exterior to the interior of the restaurant I was impressed with the cleanliness of the place and their contemporary and colorful interior design, Scandinavian design simple furniture, and relaxed dining environment. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by a young lady employee, who when I mentioned that this was my first time eating there, that I had downloaded their app, was a member of their Loyalty Program, and had the bogo coupon; she quickly asked for my phone number, put it in the modern cashier, and was ready to take my bogo order and give me my points. I ordered a Smoked Pull Pork Signature Pita sandwich but they did not have this one at the moment, so I ordered their Chicken Bacon Ranch Signature Pita sandwich instead. As the Pita sandwiches was made with grilled chicken breast pieces and fresh vegetables, I was asked if I wanted any additional ingredients to include. I paid for the order and was given one of the Pita sandwiches to eat there and one to take home. Immediately the points earned for this order was credited to my account. Then I sat down and when I opened the wrap of my Pita sandwich, the Pita bread was fresh and soft, and it had a good amount of chicken and other fresh ingredients. Who I think was the manager or owner came by to say hello and answered some of the questions I had above the company. From noticing the variety of items in the menu, including Lebanese-style Pita, Greek-style Pita, Mediterranean-style Pita, Bowls, and other healthy and delicious sandwiches, I definitely will return soon to eat here, and also recommend this healthy yet delicious food restaurant to all those reading my review.

Sometimes it's the simple things in life, though, and rather than go for a more complex platter when I found that you could get a bagel with falafel in it, I found my breakfast. There is a za'atar bagel available, which adds an extra flavor note to what was a compelling and filling breakfast. Their display of desserts was sufficiently impressive (and several of these were labeled vegan as well) that I decided to sample a baklava labeled as the Burma flavor. I couldn't figure out what the sweet pistachio mix had to do with Myanmar, but whatever was in there was good. I did not get a beverage in part because I didn't read the whole menu; maybe I missed out. Regardless, the food they offered was great for vegetarian diets, substantial, and delicious, and you'd struggle to find better in this part of the country or in most other parts of the country.
