I love her food the bread is amazing one of my favorite is the amazing goat cheese with the Sweet challah bread, the eggplant spread is great to ! I love the red sauce is great with edges for breakfast ! The morning pastry with the berry is great to!

Some bread options.  She doesn't put them all out.  She keep bread warm and dips chilled.

Met the owner/chef at the Napili Farmer's Market. Really interesting and delicious food, and fantastic garlic focaccia.

They never answer their phone . Not sure if they're even open for business. Good Indian food is much needed on the west side of Maui.

Pita Paradise - Baklava Lapperts Vanilla ice cream cake

We had a wonderful dinner at Pita Paradise and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for…read morea healthy, flavorful meal on the island. My husband ordered the fresh catch of the day (Mahi Mahi) and thought it was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right -- flavorful without being overpowering. My dad had the chicken Caesar salad, which he found refreshing, with crisp greens, tender chicken, and a nice balance of dressing and parmesan. My mom chose the chicken kabob plate, a hearty dish with tender chicken skewers, rice, grilled vegetables, pita, and tzatziki -- filling and well-seasoned. I had the American Greek Salad, loaded with fresh vegetables, feta, and pita on the side. It was light, fresh, and satisfying. We shared the baklava ice cream cake for dessert -- a real highlight. The layers of baklava with creamy vanilla ice cream were absolutely delicious, and the drizzle of syrup tied it all together. We especially loved the vanilla ice cream paired with the crunch of the baklava. The mango iced tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. We also brought our own bottle of wine (2019 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon), and the corkage fee of $30 was well worth it to enjoy with our meal. Our server, Justina, was kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere -- relaxed yet with an elevated feel that makes it great for both family dinners and special evenings out. Pita Paradise delivers on fresh, well-seasoned Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a Hawaiian touch. Healthy options, great service, and a warm ambiance made this one of our favorite meals on Maui. Highly recommend, especially for the baklava ice cream cake!

It's a well rounded variety. Also had the baklava cake for dessert. Everything was good! Server was friendly and attentive (but not overly so). They had live music which was a pleasant surprise. It's a nice family atmosphere.

I am so glad that we finally visited Yamas; it is located in the Enchanted Lake Shopping Center in…read moreKailua with lots of free parking. The restaurant is super clean and spacious, and they play some awesome classic rock music. You order and pay at the counter and they will bring you the food; the lady at the counter was extremely friendly and very efficient. You need to bus your own table when you're done, just place the used dishes, glasses and utensils in the labeled plastic tubs, not a big deal at all. Now, the food is the star. We order baba ganoush with pita, super gyro with zucchini fries, and a soup and salad combo. The baba ganoush was so delicious, and the pita was warm and soft. The super gyro has so much yummy meat in it that the pita can hardly hold them, and the zucchini fries were crispy and not oily. It also comes with a couple really good tzatziki sauces. My wife really enjoyed the avgolemono (lemon and chicken) soup and greek salad. She was so pleased with the combo that she had to order an extra takeout combo for her friend to try. On top of all that, we finished our great meal with a baklava sundae; two fresh crispy baklava pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with cinnamon and honey. This desert is a must order. The restaurant is mixed in with a lot of other restaurants and shops in a large strip mall, so it maybe easy to miss. The prices are really reasonable and the portions are good. If you like Mediterranean food; this is the place. You will love it.

My wife enjoyed our meal at Yama's a couple of days ago and really enjoyed the food. We started…read morewith the dalmas (stuffed grape leaves), which had good flavor while a bit too mushy for our taste. We each ordered gyros. My wife also had garlic fries and I had the baba ganoush. We also both added on the spanakopitas, which are huge, and the flaky pastry was amazing. The fries we cooked well with a crisp outside and a soft, fluffy inside. The only suggestion might be to sauté the garlic as it was a bit strong. The gyros had soft pita bread and meat very flavorful with perfect tsatziki sauce. I do want to add as a person close to many blind individuals, I know businesses are allowed to ask two questions about SERVICE animals: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform (copied directly from the the ada.gov website). Based on another reviewer (who gave 1 star), the restaurant asked the correct (legal) question. They should be complimented for following the law.
