    The plentiful bounty of fresh goodness.
    Buck W.

    I'm asking myself why don't I come here more often?! Today was madness and I was starving. I dropped in and ordered the California Chicken Salad. As always the service is just extraordinary! Smiling happy faces. Ice cold water station set up while you wait. My order literally took only 4-5 minutes and I was out the door. The salad veggies are fresh. Chicken is plentiful and tasty. It's such a mix of goodness. I ate every bite and feel amazing eating so healthy. AND inexpensive.

    Ordered quarter chicken and upgraded to all thighs, they gave me what looks like three half thighs that are smaller than a standard business card. It's ridiculous when they specialize in rotisserie get send out food in such a state. Update: To add insult to injury, they can't be bothered to send a proper response and instead added some word vomit that has nothing to do with what went wrong. Oh, apparently the only way to get utensils is to go to another part of the menu to add them instead of prompting you at the end like most places. Like HUH?!

    The Garden Cafe is a charming retreat in the heart of Sherman Oaks. The menu is widely varied, with…read morefood that is fresh, delicious and the portions generous. They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Went in a Sunday around 10:30 thinking it would be packed. Wasn't that bad. There was 5 of us. You order at the counter and then find a seat. Here's our order. I had the short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato fries. Very good! Appetizer were the Mediterranean plate, and Asian wings! Again both very good. Wife had crap cakes. She loved them. Other orders, flatbread pizza, a breakfast burrito, and eggs Benedict. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Price point was in line with other restaurants. They serve beer and wine, and mimosas. Clean bathrooms. We definitely will be back. Sorry no pictures of the actual restaurant. Plenty pics of the delicious food!!!

I've brought plenty of friends over the years, and every single one of them has said the same thing after their first visit: this place is legit. Anytime I try Mediterranean food in a similar price range, I find myself comparing it back to Pita Kitchen and honestly, it's hard to beat. My go to is the steak plate with Greek salad perfectly grilled, flavorful, and always fresh. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Pro tip: eat it there, right when it comes out. That's when it truly hits different. In a time where a lot of restaurants lose their edge or disappear altogether, I'm genuinely glad Pita Kitchen is still here and still delivering.
