Great service and delicious food. No real atmosphere, but the food was great. Loved the chicken shawarma and having the ability to customize it like building a sub sandwich is great. The pita is a LOT of food. I couldn't finish it myself. Delicious baklava as well. read more

Oooweee I ordered takeout yesterday and got a combo bowl. SO FILLING! It gave me two BIG meals. I gotta say, the spicy sauce on it was GOOOOOOOD. I like how customizable the bowls are. I'd happily eat here again read more

Dearly miss the Pleasanton location, but glad to still have one around. The softest pitas and I love their hummus and spice mix! Just as good if not better than I remember! Not much restaurant space in pleasant hill, but perfect for to-to. Service was great and I love that they have meal deal options now. read more

My coworkers wanted to get something for dinner on the way home. We decided to get some gotta eatta pita. The place was clean and the workers were very efficient. I ordered myself a falafel stuffed pita and it was yummm. With all the ingredients I wanted it stuffed with. As much as they stuff their pitas, it was hard to keep together. But delicious nonetheless. Too bad they closed the Pleasanton location. But, I suppose on the way back home from work makes up for it. read more

This was my first time trying this place out. Service was great, also the vibe inside was nice, it was clean and very simple. The food... I'm not too sure what to think. It's kinda like a chipotle setup where you put what u want in your bowl, so it might be what I put in the bowl that doesn't mix well, idk it was my first time! But, it was pretty bland :/ I mixed things up in my bowl and I'm not getting too much flavor. It seems like it's healthy so yeah that's cool, but the flavor?. Idk where it's at. The chicken was the ONLY THING WITH SEASONING/flavor. I saw many good reviews so I will be trying it again, maybe with someone that knows what to put in the bowl, but this shit was nasty. I got a chicken shawarma bowl and paid $20 and was super disappointed. I feel bad leaving a low review because the service was great, but that food is nasty af. read more

Gotta Eatta Pita - This is the All Natural Chicken Shawarma Bowl. I went home and tried to put some salt, pepper, and maybe sumac but still no good - Mediterranean Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Wanted to try a new place to eat so this was our first time trying out Gotta Eatta Pita. Ordered one chicken shawarma bowl, one chicken shawarma pita, one drink and one baklava. Person behind counter serving us was very nice but unfortunately spoke nor understood English. We ended up with two bowls (not the end of the world) but also got charged for two bowl box lunch combos which I tried to tell him we didn't want. Since communicating the issue was impossible we just took the loss and left. My wife loved her bowl, I thought the quality was ok. read more

Gotta Eatta Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

One of my favorite Mediterranean chains. They do it chipotle style so you can pick what goes in your bowls. The falafel's are so so good one of the best falafel's around. Also, the couscous is delicious and so is the tabouli... highly recommend this spot. read more

My go to order is always the Chicken Shawarma Bowl although the Falafel Bowl is pretty tasty too. I love the couscous, the red cabbage, and especially the eggplant, all so tasty. The hummus and tahini add creaminess to the entire thing, and don't sleep on their spicy hummus which I enjoy a lot. It has a real kick, so beware. The portion is quite generous but also the price is a bit expensive - as of June 2025 it was about $18 after tax for a bowl. Service was fast. read more

I'm giving this visit 5 stars. The food was extremely fresh. High marks for the falafel shawarma and salads - really everything was delicious. Service great no problem with the order. Back on frequent rotation for going there. Wish the rewards program was better but that won't stop me from going. read more

Food was a bit salty. Customer service was typical gen Z attitude. Price pretty average. Overall clean atmosphere. No public restrooms. Not bad but not great - I've had better food and service at food trucks read more

Gotta Eatta Pita - Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Terrible. Started that the gentleman behind the counter could barely understand me. I told him that all I wanted was a pita sandwich plain with a little bit of hummus, tahini and hot sauce. He said ok, it'll be cheaper since I didn't add any toppings. Great! Sandwich was absolutely cold and swimming in sauce. Dripping all over the place. Took a few bites and threw it away. I would rather have paid more for a fresh, hot sandwich. Bummer! read more

This is one of the best places you always want to come back to. Outstanding food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that leaves a truly pleasant aftertaste. Thank you to the entire team for consistent quality and genuine care for your guests. read more

The service was fast and the serving sizes are very large. This was a good spot for a quick bite. For awareness- they don't have much seating and are generally geared for takeout. One thing I wish more Mediterranean spots generally had is slightly more protein-rich options for vegans (e.g. incorporating tofu) and/or baked falafel options. I would probably come more often with those types of options. read more

Avoid. Food portions are now twice as small. Shift leader "Yu" told me this is how they do things now when salad fillers are left out, except my salads were small too... I've been coming here nearly weekly for the past year, usually getting the schwarma bowls. They used to have generous portions, easily filling the bowl past the brim and into the plastic covering. Today, I ordered delivery of the same bowl I've been buying for the past year, and on receiving. I first thought the driver had eaten half of my food, but it had no evidence of tampering. I quickly took pictures, and then called the restaurant to ask for a supervisor. Someone named "Yu" came on the phone to inform me no supervisors were there, and then after I'd asked why the portions were dramatically less, he said the owner had told him to only put one scoop of protein into the bowl when salads couldn't be used as fillers. The problem.is, I DID order couscous couscous salad, and that was twice as small, and I also ordered hummus, and that was twice as small. So it wasn't just the chicken protein serving that was small. They had literally shrank every part of the bowl, to the point where I wouldn't have paid 18 bucks (23 dollars to have it delivered) had I known they were now shrinking portions sizes. read more

Gotta Eatta Pita - Half & half bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Average Israeli food. Staff were rude and wanted to charge me for pickles. The portions were too small.

I hate leaving bad reviews but dude Falafel ice cold, pita broke into two parts, not fresh. The worse pita I have had in long time.

This place is the BEST. It is me and my family's favorite take out. We will drive through rush hour traffic just to pick this up for dinner. The portions are always great and the flavors are so yum. The eggplant is our favorite but everything is fresh and delish. read more

Order at the counter and take away from this small spot. Food is ok, you can choose ingredients. But $17 for a bowl seems like a lot and overall, I can't recommend it. read more

I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean foods and wanted to try this spot one day after studying. My first time here wasn't impressive to be honest. Service was kind of slow compared to other places I've been to and the workers weren't really friendly. Pricing was ~$2 more than other places I've had in the area, so that was disappointing. I ordered the falafel pita and did appreciate that it was packed, although the flavor wasn't that great (AKA not as much flavor as other spots). I have to admit, while it's not the worst I've had, this place is mediocre and overpriced... not really something I anticipate returning to any time soon. read more

Love, love, loooove this place! I'm so bad when it comes to updating my reviews. But as I sit in my car inhaling these wonderful aromas of this delicious half-n-half pita bowl that I'm about to angrily scarf down once I get to the crib, I feel compelled to write this update right noooow. This is my go-to fast casual Greek/Mediterranean food spot. Everything about this place is awesome! The fact that you can customize your bowl or pita has always been my absolute favorite part. The ingredients are always fresher than life. And that hummus be hittin', son! They have some of the best hummus in the game and ya girl is highly, HIGHLY addicted to it. Portions sizes are always crazy huge! When you look at the bowl, it always appears to be madd small. But what people fail to see is that this bowl is hella DEEP. SO much damn food gets packed in there! I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I've been able to actually finish a bowl in one sitting. And I've coming here for literal years! The pita?! Yeah, I can scarf that whole thang down if I'm hangry enough. But that bowl will feed me twice and I absolutely love it! Plus, them leftovers sho' do be hittin' the next day too. The SERVICE has always been wonderful here! I'd say I order my food online about half of the time, and the other half of the time I just walk in (like I did today). Call me a weirdo, but I find enjoyment out of watching the staff prepare my food. Plus, it always smells so good (now). Gone are the days when this place used to smell like a sewer when I walked in. Now, it's just the pleasant smell of yummy Greek fare. And I'm SO happy about it! Shoutout to the super friendly and helpful staff who are always working hard and willing to go the extra mile! Wish I would have gotten the gentleman's name who helped me tonight, but he was wonderful. They're all wonderful, really. It's so rare that I have a bad experience here. Here I go: I'm smackin' another big 5 stars on this place because they so rightfully deserve it! I'm SOOOO happy that Gotta Eatta Pitta survived the pandemic and even more happy that I get to continue to eat here and enjoy their delicious food. Alright, time to throw down on this bowl before it starts to get cold. Don't mind me; I'll just be ova here.... with my face... In the bowl. :) read more

i asked for a $4 6 piece falafel and they gave me a $16 falafel bowl and the worst part is that they didn't give me ANY falafels. My money got wasted read more

Fast, clean and simple. This place has a very simple menu and friendly staff. Very quick and easy to go! There could be better seating options, but it seems to be more of a take out place. read more

Shared a bowl for dinner ($14) and left quite impressed - we had the chicken & falafel with everything on it (just made it easier to order by having them add everything) - it was a VERY stuffed bowl and quite filling even for 2 people. It was very flavorful almost to the point of overwhelming, but having them add everything will do that. I liked the falafel (and normally find falafel quite meh). Service was very fast and friendly. There are only two high top tables inside in the air conditioning. Otherwise there are plenty of tables outside. read more

Did I go on a bad day or do people just like barely seasoned messes? I ordered a chicken shawarma bowl online and got everything as is, nothing added or taken out. I should have taken a picture of the bowl but I was appalled by the mess I got. Everything was thrown in there without much care, the hummus (if you can call it that), was some sort of a liquidy concoction. That was probably the worst hummus I have ever had. There was something sharp that kept poking at the roof of my mouth, maybe it was the eggplant? It was an odd sensation, but I love eggplants so I shrugged it off at the time. The couscous was cooked well, everything else was mediocre at best and lacked seasoning. I took a packet of salt and added it to make everything more palatable. The only good thing is that it is super filling. I couldn't get myself to finish my bowl and composted the remainder. Good lord, why does this place get a 4 stars? read more

The customer service is amazing. The girl server was really sweet and left a thank you note on my package. But the food was not good at all! The pita was hard and stale. Salad was too salty. Hummus was not fresh . Overall it wasn't up to mark. I've been to other GEP locations and food there is so much better! read more

Gotta Eatta Pita - Vegetarian salad, hummus and pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

Decent food but way overpriced. Crazy $10 in service fees and nonsense charges. Won't be back.

I agree with Danielle and her review below. The food is very meh (and messy) and overpriced.

Catered a party of 40 for me recently. Everything was delivered fresh and on time. Super easy to set up buffet line. Lots of different salads and options to go along with the chicken shawarma I ordered. Great value. Everyone loved it. Highly recommend. read more

always out of pita by 7pm. shameful and crazy since it's literally called gotta eatta pita......

Updating my review over 9 years later! We moved closer to the area and tried this place again many years after our first visit. I'm sure my tastebuds have changed with age, as well as my preferences, but I have to say I was surpised at how much I enjoyed the pita and the bowl. My husband now regular gets take out here for our dinner. We always get the chicken with falafel and feta cheese added. The food is always fresh and I appreciate that I can get a relatively healthy meal that still satisfies. read more

Unsanitary. There was a long hair tangled in the first plate and then a piece of chicken sitting in the second vegetarian plate. I didn't see the hair til I got all the way home and opened it and almost started eating it. So they made me come all the way back to get a new one instead of refunding me. Once I got there there was no apology or mention of anything. They were also inspecting all the pitas as if something could be wrong with them before picking one out and giving it to me. Then I got the vegetarian plate in the second picture with the the piece of chicken in it. What else is in there that I can't see? How hard it is to keep food clean? Don't risk it here. read more

It's good only downsize is they hardly give u any meat like I love the shawarma bowl but where is the meat jt was less then two spoons full of chicken Like why the bowl is not cheap why is there hardly any meat ? read more

The price increase over the years is getting ridiculous. I haven't been in a few months and a falafel bowl is now 15.99 compared to the 13.99 I use to pay. The quality of the food nor the portion size has not increased and they are putting the cost onto the consumer. After tax, my total was $17.34. This is just outrageous considering I received no drink or pita bread with my order. I will not be coming back here anytime soon. You can blame inflation all you want, but the food is not worth the price. Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

This has been great and still is. Consistent and fast. All fresh products. Great prices too

Wow I wasn't expecting this flavor bomb ! I got one chicken, one falafel pita thinking they would be Small. They were literally a whole pita pocket with the tip cut off so you could add stuff and fill it up. And fill it they did! Little chicken then some veg and tahini them more chicken;add tomatoes, eggplant then more chicken, then sauce n cheese than more chicken. Same which falafel , alternating it with various requested ingredients. Had to discard my white tee shirt prior to digging in for fear of spillage. Bae ate the falafel. We were totally satisfied and a hot mess after! Oh snap that's what the knife n fork were for! Cute perforated pita pocket box to allow you to rip off the top and try to keep as much of those delightful ingredients in the pita and not on your kisser chest stomach or lap. read more

Gotta Eatta here-ah! I've had this placed book marked for quite some time and yesterday I accidentally happen to come here after being in the area. Was instantly greeted upon walking in and offered a sample pita and hummus. Mmmm! This employee was so friendly explaining the breakdown of how to order and what our options were. I think his name was Jhonas (or that could have been the person who rung us up). He said he used to eat here so much he decided he wanted a job here lol. We ordered the pita and a bowl- both half and half. Then chose all our toppings to fill the bowl. The half and half consists of half falafel and half chicken swarma on top of a bed of couscous. The toppings include cucumber & tomato toubulee salad, greens, Greek pickles (I passed on these), olive tapenade and a variety of sauces. I Topped with a hearty scoop of hummus and tzaki sauce and added some pita on the side for dipping. $26 and some change with a tip for that friendly service. I enjoyed their fountain soda choices as I had never seen selections such as blueberry soda pop and some other unique sodas. This falafel balls were small but oh my, so crispy and delicious! Next time I need to order a side of this. Everything was so balanced and tasted so fresh. My only critique would be I wish the pita bread was served warm. I will ask next time. I will def be back my friends. read more

I have been a frequent customer for quite a while. I appreciate how fast the process is, the freshness of the ingredients, and how simple it is. I always order the same thing - chicken shawarma bowl with couscous and no additional mix-ins. Lately, possibly because of COVID, because of inexperienced new hires, or because of possible change in management, the experience has been inconsistent. I have visited three times within the past month and each time it has been a different experience. The lady that served me provided the same portions that I am used to. The box was to the brim and had a good amount of each item. The next time I returned, I ordered it through the online website and they seemed to have skimped on the chicken shawarma, but it was still full. That's fine. The chicken was dry and hard, so I assumed maybe it was the bottom of the barrel. This last time (moments ago), I had a new person and he was extremely stingy. I barely got half a scoop of each item. The bowl, as you can see by the photo, is barely half full. Quite possibly, the employee might be new, but it would be nice if he could ask if I would like more, since $11.49 for half a bowl of food doesn't seem like a worthwhile deal, especially since it hasn't been like that historically. I understand that new hires may have to go through a learning curve, but it would be nice to have somebody follow them to ensure quality control. Lately it has been so haphazard that it's making me question whether I should return back. Especially with a chain, the experience should be good and consistent between location to location and experience to experience. read more
