Fluffy pita bread, marinated cuts of rotisserie meats, and aromatic spices... there's all of that…read moreand more at Pita Greek, a fast casual Mediterranean restaurant in Nanuet. The owner started his business venture as a ghost kitchen in 2020, and then opened up this brick-and-mortar location earlier this year. There's a parking lot in the back.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a Mediterranean-inspired ambiance - rustic pottery, white & blue color palettes, blonde woods, soft lighting. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. The seating areas are good for small to medium-sized groups.
They have a simple menu with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices: pita sandwiches, salads, rice bowls, platters, pastries, etc. The rotisserie meats are the star of the show!
We ordered...
*Spanakopita $6 (layers of crispy, golden phyllo dough with a spinach, feta cheese, and herb filling)
*Tiropita $6 (layers of buttered phyllo dough with a cheese and egg filling)
The phyllo dough was flaky, crispy, and buttery. I preferred the tiropita out of the two. It was super cheesy, salty, and creamy. The spinach filling wasn't as good because it tasted oily.
*Traditional Gyro Platter $20
*Chicken Souvlaki Platter $20
All platters are served with one grilled pita, tzatziki sauce, and your choice of two sides.
The lamb/beef gyro was slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie. It was super savory, tender, and seasoned in a blend of herbs and spices. The chicken souvlaki skewers were juicy and loaded with a zesty lemon garlic marinade.
The pita bread was warm and fluffy. The tzatziki sauce was creamy and tangy.
For our sides we chose:
*Greek Salad (romaine, tomato, red onion, cucumber, Greek herbs, feta, dolma, olives, pepperoncini, red wine vinaigrette)
*Marinated Beet Salad (red beets, red onion, herbs, balsamic glaze)
*Lentil Soup
*Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
All of the sides were delicious. The salads were very refreshing and made with high quality ingredients. Out of the two soups, my favorite was the lemon chicken orzo. It was like a good ol' comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup with a bright, citrusy aftertaste. The lentil soup broth was a little too watery and sour for me (I think they might've overdone it with the lemon and tomatoes).
We had a lot of leftovers to take home. The prices are an excellent bang for your buck because they give you generous portions.
The staff is very kind and attentive. We dined in and they brought our food to us in a timely manner. They were on point with clearing our plates, giving us extra utensils/napkins, and anything else we needed.
I would happily return whenever I'm in the area!
