    Lamb gyro, chicken shawarma, and I think Greek fries
    Edy P.

    Wish I took a better picture but the food was too tasty to last long once we opened everything. Both wraps were amazing and fries, of course, complimented the flavors. My wife and I were full and happy with what we paid. Looking forward to our next visit Sucks about the parking lot but obviously that's out of their control.

    Order ahead if you're in a rush - food is made fresh to order so takes about 10min Parking is on the side street but I haven't had any issues with it so far Service was fast and friendly; they had my to go order ready by the time I got there I ordered the shawarma and it was so flavorful and filling - was definitely a nice treat for lunch Establishment is clean but there's no seating to eat there so it's more of a grab and go kind of place Love the wall art / mural on the building Would definitely come back to try their plates

    Nick Sharma try this new spot out !

    Cute little spot. I love the mural on the side. I love Persian Mediterranean food. Looks like they're making a Tesla charging station right next to it.

    I'm rating for what this is--a take-out food stand, not a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant. And on that basis, it's great! Prices are extremely reasonable, and portions are very generous. They have shawarma and even lamb chops, unlike most quick-serve Mediterranean places that focus more on gyro. We visit the area often and no doubt will go here again.

    So good! Definitely recommend, my craving was satisfied. included hummus Glad they're back

    Greek Fries
    Michael D.

    This was my first time here. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Greek Fries. The food was good. The chicken was tender. The fries were cooked perfectly. The portions are huge. It's enough for two people or save half for the next day. The Shawarma plate came with rice, pita bread, grilled tomato and pepper and a small salad. The fries had a lot of stuff on it and beef. I asked them what was in it, but it was a lot of ingredients for me to remember. This place is located on the corner of the intersection. It has a small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. This place is more for to go orders. There's no place to sit or dine. When you order they give you the little buzzer thing. It took about 15 minutes to get my food. The cashier was friendly and answered my questions about the food. If you're in the area and are looking for some good shawarma, this is the place to go.

    Wow this place was amazing!!! I loved how the chicken shawarma plate came with a small salad on the side it was a nice fresh touch to my meal! :) The chicken was cooked well and the hummus was super good. I didn't order extra hummus but I recommend doing so if you love hummus with each bite of your meal. Definitely a hole in the wall. It's located on a fairly busy corner by the freeway. The food was a 10/10. This is more of a pick up and go type of place since there is no seating. They're really efficient as they use the beeper devices to notify you when your pick up order is ready. Pictures of parking are here! Getting into the parking lot was a little tricky but don't let that discourage you from trying this amazing spot !!!! I'm so happy I found this spot.

    I came here today to try the lamb plate and let me tell you it was great! I got the lamb with basmati rice, salad and pita bread. Also came with a nice tomato and peppers. Portions were good and lots of favor. It's hard to find good rice and this place does it right. The girl who took my order was very nice and explained the menu! I got all the sauces to try which were tasty. The hummus and tzatziki were my favorites of the bunch. I will be back to try the gyro wraps and other items. This is a little gem off the 91 fwy/clark exit. If you're close by and like good persian/mediterranean food this is the place! Go see them for a great meal! Food rating: Lamb chop plate 8.7/10

    Feta fries .. they could have put more feta or something . Very little toppings.
    Stephanie C.

    This type of fast food Mediterranean restaurant is by far one of my favorites . I have tried just about all in my area and Nike shawarma is a great contender for #1 in this area ! Their chicken shawarma wraps are very delicious and they don't hold back on the meat portions . I will say while their fries are good , their feta fries were not impressive at all especially for the price . That would be their only room for improvement is their flavored fries

    Side salad

    This location has been several other restaurants in the past and I really hope this location lasts. Grabbed the mixed schwarma and a gyro and I have to say, both were delicious. The plate was pleasing to the eyes and tasty as well. Enjoyed the fact the veggies were super fresh! Lots of vibrant colors and crunch. Loved it. Construction is hurting this business in the short term but if you are in the mood for some good Greek salads or food, please come give this local spot a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap & Chicken Kabob Wrap combo. Sides of hummus and garlic sauce. Combo came with the fries and a drink.

    Nik's has reopened as of today 8/4! They have the same great flavor as before, service was speedy today even with a nice busy lunch rush! They have a few tables to enjoy your meals. They offered a $5 chicken shawarma special all day for the reopening! I got 1 of the specials and the chicken kabob wrap combo! Both were fire ! Got a side of their garlic sauce too for the fries! Both wraps were outstanding with the hummus! Fries have their special seasoning. I should have asked for them double fried but they were still good! Glad to see Nik's crew back in action! Go support the local business!

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Ana H.

    10/10 would recommend this spot to anyone! Ordered the lentil soup, shawarma combo plate, gyros wrap, chicken shawarma wrap and they were all so tasty The worker at the front is lovely and helpful, the food doesn't take long to come out at all. Chicken is a hit or miss for me at restaurants but I love their chicken shawarma! It's not dry and the sauce they drizzle on top pairs nicely with it. The portions are generous and the side salads are also good. I've gone around 2-3 pm when it's not usually busy- the parking lot is under construction but there is street parking available as well.

I love that I can customize everything exactly how I like it. For the Cobb Wrap, I remove the tomatoes, add extra egg, and ask for easy lettuce and it comes out perfect for me every time. The extra egg makes it even more filling without feeling too heavy. The Caesar Wrap is another favorite, especially when I want something quick and easy to eat on the go.

I like a good southwestern salad and Simply salad has two options for me: their El Paso and their 'Cue. Chicken, romaine lettuce, crispy elements, beans, cheese. What's not to like? When I get their salads, I generally don't enjoy their supplied pitas; therefore, I prefer getting their salads as wraps. Unfortunately, the last time I ordered my wrap with "medium" portion of dressing, I had to supplement my wrap with my own sauces. As a wrap, I'd recommend getting your dressing on the side, or "heavy" dressing if you're eating it right away. Lastly, when you order in person, it can take a bit of time; therefore, I try to order ahead through their website or through doordash (as a pickup order).

We also tried the "fish tacos" (vegan version, of course) and were really impressed and taco was crunchy, but my only complaint is it was messy eating after the 2nd bite -- the fillings seemed to be falling apart and out of the taco shell. The food is flavorful and honestly makes you forget you're eating vegan. The service was great---friendly staff and fast service.

That first experience is what made me come back. On my second visit, I ordered the same salad with chicken and lamb because I wanted that same experience again. When I got back to work, I realized the chicken was missing. I did not complain because I still had the lamb and the rest of the salad, and I understand that mistakes happen. Still, it was disappointing because I specifically came back wanting the same complete meal I had the first time. On my third visit, I drove from Gardena to Signal Hill specifically for that salad. After driving back to Gardena, I realized there was no dressing in the bag. I called the restaurant and explained what happened. I was told, "I'm sorry." At first I accepted that, but then I thought, what am I supposed to do with a salad with no dressing? I called back because I wanted to know what could be done. I was told that if I wanted my money back, I would have to bring the salad back to the restaurant. That meant after already driving from Gardena to Signal Hill and back, I was expected to make another trip because of something the restaurant forgot. When I explained that I was disappointed with how the situation was being handled and that I planned to leave a review, the woman on the phone responded, "All this for a dressing?" That comment bothered me more than the original mistake. Yes, it was dressing, but that misses the point. This was already the second time something had been left out of my order. The first time, I let it go. This time, the missing item affected the whole meal. What I would have appreciated was simple customer service. Acknowledge the inconvenience and make an effort to keep the customer. Something as simple as, "We apologize. Unfortunately, we cannot refund you without the food being returned, but on your next visit we will make sure we take care of you," would have completely changed the experience. Even offering a drink next time or simply saying they appreciated my business would have shown that they cared. I also tipped on my takeout order because I believe a tip is a way of showing appreciation for good service and attention to detail. I understand that a tip does not guarantee perfection, but it was disappointing to tip and still receive an incomplete order. There was also something I observed during this visit that concerned me. Someone spilled a drink, and one of the cooks helped clean it up. He wiped the floor while wearing gloves and, from what I could see, appeared to keep the same gloves on when returning to food preparation. That made me uncomfortable. I would have expected the gloves to be changed before handling food again. To be fair, the restaurant itself looks clean, organized, and well maintained. The tables, chairs, counters, and furniture appear to be in good condition. That is one of the reasons I kept giving this place another chance. I wanted to like Pita Pitaki. After my first visit, I thought it might become one of my go to places. Unfortunately, I never really got that same full experience again. My first visit was good. My second visit was missing the chicken. My third visit was missing the dressing, followed by customer service that made me feel like my concern did not matter. You can have good food and a clean restaurant, but customer service still matters. Sometimes how a business handles a mistake matters more than the mistake itself. My advice for anyone ordering takeout here is simple. Double check your order before you leave. Open the bag and make sure you have everything, especially meats, sauces, and dressing. Unfortunately, after giving this place several chances, it is no longer one of my go to spots.

Looking at reviews, I saw a photo of a jalapeño bomb but I didn't see it on the menu online , and the photo didn't have a description. I arrived in the drive thru ( YES THEY HAVE ONE!!! ) and asked if they had jalapeño bombs and they said yes! They call it jalapeño bom. I will say, even though THE jalopeno is larger, I've never had an order that only contained one jalapeño, split in half... these are my go to and they have a minimum of 4 halves, which is 2 jalapeños filled. This only has one jalapeño, split in half filled, for 6.99 which I feel is more on the steep side for just one. They have fusion tacos, which I decided to try because I love signature items. I chose the beef, and they have chicken also or you can do half and half. Cucumbers, onion, and cilantro, teriyaki sauce and hot sauce, 4 to an order for 12.99. They are definitely worth it. But they didn't have the sesame seed garnish topping like I saw on prior photos. The drinks aren't on the menu but you can ask what they have. Customer service was great and food was fresh.
