I haven't been to La Pita in years and live out of town. I was very pleased that La Pita still delivers delicious meals. We ordered chicken tawook and baba , and it was amazing. Thank you also to the very helpful and kind waitstaff. Whether you want to eat inside or on the patio, La Pita is a great night out. read more

La Pita - Chicken Tawook - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

We were seated outside which is nice patio seating area. we were sitting there for 15 mins with no waters or waitresses asking to take order. my husband and i came 45 mins out to try the food, service was 2/5 best. i was observing the waitress she was hyper fixated on two tables specially. after a point my husband said he will wait 1 mins and then walk out of the place. I got up walked inside the restaurant and asked is anyone is planning to take the order, three waiters all looked at me blankly and then the waitress who was solely fixated on her two tables said "I.. I can take your order" yes it was obvious i was annoyed. over the mango smoothie was good 8/10, i got kafta kabob not a big fan wasn't all that amazing, husband got some sort of wrap he was underwhelmed as well.. and mentioned the la pita togo is much better then the restaurant we were at. i had a dinner dish, he had wrap with fries and lentil soup plus chicken soup which was not good at all. but the lentil was decent. with a smoothie and soda total was near 60 something. unfortunelty we will not be back; when you eat good food you feel better about the spending etc.. but we left disappointed all around first from service and the. from the food it's self. read more

We stumbled upon this place over the weekend, and while it had a nice ambience and wasn't too crowded for a Saturday evening, the overall experience was just average. They started us off with complimentary plain bread, which felt a bit basic without even a touch of garlic or flavoring. The place didn't have a dedicated drinks menu, but the server mentioned she could make anything we wanted, which sounded promising. However, the drinks didn't quite live up to expectations. The margaritas ($12) were quite diluted, and the $7 mocktails were underwhelming. For food, we ordered the Chicken Kabob Dinner, Shawarma Platter, and Spicy Man-Usha. Both the Chicken Kabob Dinner and Shawarma Platter came with two sides : we chose fattoush salad, Greek salad, and grilled vegetables. The grilled vegetables were done really well, and the shawarma platter was enjoyable. However, the chicken kabob was disappointingly dry, and the Spicy Man-Usha, despite sounding exciting, turned out quite bland. Overall, it was an okay experience, pleasant enough for a casual visit, but not something that would make us go out of our way to return. read more

LaPita in Dearborn is a place we enjoy visiting, especially because of the people who run it. The service is always spot on--friendly, attentive, and welcoming every time we come in. The owners are incredibly kind and make you feel appreciated as a customer, which really stands out. The food is pretty good overall, with solid Middle Eastern flavors and generous portions. One small thing I've noticed is that occasionally the bread comes out a bit cold, but it's a minor issue and hasn't taken away from the overall experience. Between the warm hospitality and consistently good food, LaPita is definitely a spot worth stopping by when you're in Dearborn. read more

I purchased a gift card over the phone that La Pita never delivered. They said it would be delivered to my friend's phone, but my friend did not receive it. I reached out to La Pita 3 times following and never heard back. I was so disappointed by the lack of customer service and losing the money I thought was going toward a gift card. I just flat out lost the money. read more

This is probably my most favorite restaurant. Sadly, I am retired and am no longer traveling to Detroit weekly. I love their garlic aioli. read more

Went there with my babies the staff were super kind and helpful. They gave my child a coloring menu to entertain them. The bread and oil they gave us was delicious. Unfortunately the food was not great. The garlic sauce was clumpy and oily it didn't get the nice texture and the mujadra was certainly old. The meat and chicken kafta are ok. The side salad a little too much dressing and lemon. read more

This is NOT the place to hold an event. I attended a work Christmas gathering and everything was seriously sub par. The even room, is dull and drab, very cold vibe, stark white, no decor..total cafeteria vibes. One bartender for over 100 people, they claim short staffing, but 3 young gals are seen goofing around on their phones, playing around behind the bar...how about get help the bartender, make pitchers of soft drinks, so people don't have to wait in a line of 30 people to get a soft drink. Faulty equipment, my ears bleed listening to corporate speeches flicker in and out because the microphone was so crap! So far the appetizer table was pretty lame...your standard cheese cubes, dollar store crackers and a few veggies...some decent grape leaves, but no hummus or anything else. Lol..grape leaves and Ranch...blaahhh... What a bummer read more

Was in town with my family for the weekend and we wanted Mediterranean. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Place was a little dimly lit but who cares. Food was good and flavorful. It annoyed me that they bring out fresh pita but no garlic with it. Was really odd. Also none of the menus had pricing on them. Food was good but we've had better. read more

I now remember why I prefer to get my fattoush salad from La Shish and not LaPita. First of all the salad cost $21.85 of which I paid $7.43 extra to have grilled chicken added to it. That $7.43 got me about a half chicken breast -the math isn't mathing on that ...can I at least get a whole chicken breast? The rest of the salad was "meh" ...the toasted pita chips didn't seem toasted and were more like stale-that's for the 8-10 that were on the salad. One last thing- maybe do as LaShish does and put the grilled chicken breast in a separate carryout container so they don't make the salad soggy before it gets to where it's going. I'm sure they sell really small containers you could put that half breast in... read more

I ordered a FULL order of Deboned chicken. This cost me almost $40 and it was absolutely disgusting. How is this deboned chicken? I've never had deboned chicken that looked like this. The chicken is rubbery, no flavor. There was a long strand of hair in the salad I am extremely disappointed. read more

La Pita - A full deboned chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Dined here upon the recommendation of a friend who enjoyed the restaurant when they visited with their family. My dining partner and I were quickly sat in the nearly empty but beautiful dining room around 7 pm mid week. Once our orders were taken, the food came out fairly fast. My dining partner ordered the vegan kafta and I ordered the salmon gallaba. My dining companion and I are both pescatarians and do not eat any other animal products. My dining partner allowed me to sample the vegan kafta before they tried it. Immediately upon hitting my tongue I questioned if this was the vegan version. I did not swallow it and asked the waitress to confirm. It took the waitress some time to return from the kitchen but once she did she indicated that it was not the vegan version and that she had grabbed the wrong one from the kitchen. She was very apologetic and while I was not happy at all about this situation she visibility felt bad about the error. They provided free dessert and removed the item from the order. They did replace it with vegan version of the kafta which was very good. Despite the error, service was good overall and the food was tasty. I just have to get over being served the wrong item. read more

We stopped in here for dinner again post-Henry Ford museum visit and were again delighted. Seated quickly, great service, and phenomenal and plentiful food. They immediately brought out pita crisps and pita bread and we got our entrees ordered, which came with side salads. I went for the Greek salad, which was a delicious if slightly overly dressed version. Solid block of feta on top. One of the best Greek salads I've had in the area without a doubt. We got some hummus for the table, excellent flavor, and then the combo shawarma platter was a real treat. The chicken was delicious and the beef not that far behind. Rice is a delight and the fries were so crisp and flavorful. Plenty of food left over for a second meal the next day. Quiet and friendly with regular check ins. Value for the money is stellar. Will definitely be back more often when we're in the area! read more

My new favorite restaurant! Excellent food! Service was impeccable and quick. I'm on my 10th straight day of going there. Lol

La Pita was one of our favorite food stops during our trip to Michigan! We had the beef kibbe, chicken shawarma, and beef shawarma--everything was super flavorful and well-portioned. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Dearborn and craving authentic Mediterranean food! read more

I haven't been to La Pita in about ten years - you heard that right. I don't know what kept me away. But since I was in the area, I knew it was high time I re-visit and order carry out. Ordering online was super simple and I was pleasantly surprised to see the new options offered on their menu including Impossible meat! My order was huge, but I'm looking forward to having leftovers for the rest of the week: - Fool (fava beans blended with spices and served warm - this was just as delicious as I remember it) - Batata Harrara (spiced potatoes - they definitely had a kick!) - Fattoush with Impossible Meat (I poked at and was so skeptical that what I was eating was vegan -- it tasted like real meat and the spices were spot on) - Falafel wrap - Garlic dip - Toum - All the bread - Man Ushi -- the feta & tomato Overall the food was just as I remember it - so fantastic and delicious. This place was BUSY for a Tuesday night so I'm glad I ordered ahead. Carry out orders can be picked up right by the door so it's super simple and our food was ready and still warm and stayed warm the duration of the drive back to Ann Arbor. If you're in Dearborn and want delicious Med food - La Pita is the place to go! read more

Very good. My family has gone here a lot over the years and they have been pretty consistently good. I had the chicken breast lunch special. The salad that comes with it was much smaller than I expected, and I wish I had got the dressing on the side (it was good, but there was too much). It's kind of a mini salad and not a side salad, per se. The chicken was cooked wonderfully and it was very tasty. No complaints about the food, other than the size of the salad for the total price. As usual, you get what you pay for, and it's much nicer food than a fast casual place. Great attentive service (refilling water often) as well. read more

La Pita - Chicken Breast Lunch Special Chicken Breast Lun - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Hadn't been to this place in many years and thought to go in last night. What i noticed right off the bat was the that there were no prices on the menu. I understand cost of living and prices going up frequently but it rubbed me off the wrong way. I like to know what I'm paying. Food was okay, not great but not bad. No complaints overall. They bring fresh bread to the table but then charge $4 for garlic sauce on side. Paid $75 (excl tip) for two and both of us only had water to drink. A bit pricey for the atmosphere and food. Not sure I'll be back. Plenty other Mediterranean places around my area (Canton) and neighboring cities with decent food. read more

Horrible horrible horrible experience. The food is disgusting and the service is very slow and below average. Let alone the smell of tobacco inside the restaurant. read more

First time here! Dined in on a Saturday for lunch. The place is pretty big and there was plenty of open tables. Our waitress was great. I guzzled down my water glass after glass and she kept it filled. We ordered the hummus appetizer, falafel plate, and shawarma wrap. It came with warm bread and pita chips. Super tasty! The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I could taste all of the spices in every bite. The chicken was good and there was plenty of it! The salad was also good. We didn't eat the pickles, etc. read more

Went here with a group of people and order family style food platters. The food was good but nothing that made me say oh wow. Tasted like almost any other Mediterranean place in Dearborn. I tried their mint lemonade which I did not like because it was way too lemony. Service was excellent for sure specially we were a decent size party. The place felt warm and cozy. read more

We came here from out of town on an Arabic friend's recommendation. I'm glad we listened. The menu has a lot to offer and everything we had was wonderful. Where we're from, it's not easy to find raw kibbeh, but this establishment has it (and it's wonderful). If you are new to Mediterranean food, this is a good place to start exploring. They have something for everyone. If you are experienced with this type of food, you won't be disappointed. The restaurant itself is laid out a little weird but it is well decorated and welcoming. Our server was very nice and very helpful. If I had to point out any concerns it would be that the cocktails are overpriced (at least for top shelf liquor) and that the portions are huge. Don't get me wrong, I love large portions - more bang for the buck. But based on other similar restaurants, we assumed the portions would be smaller so we ordered several plates to share. I wish our server would have pointed out that we were getting too much for just two people. The bottom line: If you like middle eastern food, this restaurant is wonderful. Portions are large so order one thing at a time and see how stuffed you are before ordering more. If you like top shelf cocktails be prepared for some sticker shock. read more

Was in Dearborn again, not since 2018!! Had to make sure we made it to la Pita! Absolutely phenomenal food! The service was impeccable! The food was 2nd to none! The ambiance is pure Mediterranean and comfortable, almost as if sitting in the owner's home as their guests! they even have their Cigar Lounge now! We are hooked, cannot go to Dearborn without stopping in for a great Mediterranean meal! read more

Food is good, service is often slow and forgetful for the prices this med restaurant charges

Went there at 3:30 PM for late lunch. She brought us fresh baked bread and I asked for some garlic sauce to go with it. The waitress wanted to charge me to bring toum (garlic sauce) $2.00 for small, $4.00 for a larger ramekin of it. Seriously? You're gonna squeeze me for one extra sauce??? On a $60 tab? it rubbed me the wrong way on principal. THEN it Took a half hr to get our fried kibby (which was full of gristle) then another 10 minutes to get our two chicken shawarma salads. We Specifically ordered the shawarma not the breast because it's already cooked waiting to be skewered up. Waitress, if you're reading this. Always ask if you want the app served WITH the meal. That was my first meal of the day, I was famished and I didn't like the app. The whole thing was annoying. read more

I like this spot,,, I really do. A friend of ours recommended we come and meet up and smash here. So we did and now I'm telling you about it. Let's begin shall we. Fattoush Salad: It was hubby's side dish. And it was pretty good. I little heavy on the pita chips, but taste is over all delish. Steak and Fries: Our friend ordered this one for us. Meat was cooked pretty good, it was nice and tender and the frittes were seasoned well. Lamb Plate: Pieces of lamb sliced off from the spit roast on a bed of deliciously garlicky hummus is superb! The rice was properly delish too. Kibbe Nayee: it was alright. More lamb to bulgur ratio please. Thank you. Service was a little laggy, but its still pandemic times, so yea,, they mightve been short staffed or because it was Hella busy. I wouldn't know. But I know our experience was well enough to catch a 4 star from me. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!! read more

Super accommodating and totally overworked staff serving up homemade and delicious Lebanese cuisine to huge crowds. La Pita is a great option if you're meeting a large group of colleagues for lunch, as the menu offers a little bit for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made veggie juice, and the surprisingly flavorful rice. Recommended! read more

Terrific food at excellent prices! Very good service. We were visiting family - our party included 3 seniors, a 4 year old, a 20 month old, and 2 adults. Everyone loved this food! We sat outside. The patio was perfect for us. A nice breeze and a warm evening, no worries about the little ones disturbing other patrons, excellent food. Every person enjoyed something including both little ones who have very picky appetites. The management and wait staff were very accommodating! I love La Pita and highly recommend it!!! read more

La Pita - La Pita Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

We were looking for a quick and healthy lunch nearby so my friend suggested La Pita, a place he has been to a number of times. The restaurant sits tucked back on a corner of a local mall. It was past lunch and the restaurant was half empty but the hostess let us know that there would be a wait. I was busy at work so annoyed by the delay. The restaurant is elaborately decorated. In one corner, there is a table that looked like a tent, with fun, colorful, gauzy fabrics hanging from the ceiling, draping around a semi-circular banquette. We sat at a semi-private banquette table that was very dark but was perfectly fine for food photos. I knew what I wanted, shish kebab tawook, lunch portion. This is available all day long and comes with rice, salad, hummus, and garlic sauce. I substituted out the rice and hummus and got instead grilled vegetables and baba ghanouj. The chicken was nicely grilled and tender. I liked both the baba ghanouj and garlic sauce, the latter was delicious and had a vicious kick. My friend ordered the hummus to start, which was as thick and velvety as peanut butter and liberally covered in paprika. Service was average. read more

I've worked in Dearborn for nearly 23-years and have tried just as many Middle Eastern restaurants and La Pita is my personal favorite. The hummus is creamy with just the right amount of garlic. The produce they use is always fresh, the restaurant is clean and the employees are efficient. I would recommend LaPita to anyone, you wont be dissapointed! read more

Our waitress Dena was very polite and friendly. It was crowded but we still had only short wait time to be served. Chicken tawook was so tender and delicious served with salad, rice, hummus, hot fresh bread, and garlic sauce. Ample lunch portion with enough to take home. Love the decor and music. Very clean and inviting. read more

Really really delicious. Everything was super flavorful, perfectly seasoned. Decor was a bit dark, but comfortable.

Food is great, have been going to there for years. Last two times I ate here, the bathrooms were filthy. Reported it to the manager and he said he would take care of it ( no soap, toilet paper or hand towels). Today we went there for lunch and the bathrooms were WORSE! The walls....floor......disgusting. The manager said, "we are going to remodel". I said, "you need to clean them first". So this brings me to another question......"wonder what the kitchen looks like?" Needless to say, I couldn't finish eating and we will be looking for a new place to eat Mediterranean food. read more

Definitely one of my fav spots in Dearborn. Always consistently good food and service. I discovered that they now offer plant based options, Impossible Kafta! So cool to see more restaurants offering plant based options. When I saw this on the menu I was so happy! This kafta blew me away! It was moist, flavorful, and delicious! You gotta try it! read more

Hmmm... Let's start with what I did like... the atmosphere and people seem nice. There is a nice outdoor patio space, but I wasn't sure if it was even open? Next, we ordered the salmon dish with veggies and quinoa with broccoli soup. The salmon was a little too dry and the vegetables were crunchy. The broccoli flavor was good, but was missing actual pieces of decent broccoli. On the bright side, the quinoa had good flavor, but for the price, I was expecting better. The bread was very good, but I was a little surprised when they brought out plain olive oil instead of the traditional garlic condiment that usually comes with that type of bread. I had to ask for it, and the waitress brought me some. Overall, it was ok, but I'm on the fence if I would come back again. read more

Walked in and we were instantly greeted by a black gentleman. Such a nice man, was not expecting that at all from him! Slight slur to his speech but his eloquence mixed with his car freshener scent to him was an experience I won't forget! He mentioned something on our way out saying "don't come back, because next time I will have that pack on me!" I love his energy. Can't wait to see what this place is packing next time we visit!! read more

First, the food was wonderful, and although they were short staffed, the people were excellent, especially the waitress. However, there were no prices on the menu. You could scan the square code they had on the table, but I had left my phone in the car. I don't like to have my phone on me when I go to a restaurant! My daughter had hers, but I was treating her to lunch and it seemed tacky to ask her to check prices... The waitress gave me a general idea of some of the prices, but that didn't work. I was planning on spending about $50, and it ended up costing $81 ( including tip). I do not appreciate people who are not up front, or who assume a customer will use their phone in a restaurant. read more
