Been coming to Pita Cafe for a while now and the experience is always consistently good. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable every time we come in. I own a business nearby and come here regularly for lunch when I need a quick bite. Service is fast, the food is always fresh, and it's perfect if you're in a rush but still want something filling and good quality. Their chicken kebob and chicken shawarma are both really good, the chicken pita wraps are always solid, and the Greek salad is fresh and well balanced. You can tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the customer service. Overall, great local Mediterranean spot in the South Bay and definitely worth checking out. read more

I have been here twice now to dine in, and I am telling you if you want a quick and better for you meal, you have to check this place out! I order falafel and it comes with a delicious side salad. All the vegetables on the salad and in the wrap are really fresh and crispy. I love that they split up the wraps into two so you can take the other one home if you can't eat it on one day. I love that the falafel is not dry and the sauces and salad dressing are delicious, but still let the ingredients speak for themselves. They have lots of clean, comfortable seating inside or outside. There is free parking in the back. My next mission is to go in and try something new. Hopefully I will see you there! read more

I've had more than one bad experience here, and it's disappointing because this place has potential. On one occasion, I arrived about an hour before closing intending to dine in, and I was told I couldn't eat there because "at this hour it's no longer possible." The restaurant was still officially open, yet customers were clearly being turned away. Recently, I came to pick up an order around 8:20 PM, with the restaurant closing at 9:00 PM. By that time, the dining area was already completely cleaned, tables stacked, grill shut down, and the entire place smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. The atmosphere made it very clear that customers were no longer welcome. As someone who has worked in restaurants, I understand wanting to clean up and go home. However, if you are open until 9:00 PM, the restaurant should feel open until 9:00 PM. This kind of rushed, pre-closing environment creates a very poor impression and raises concerns about food service quality and overall professionalism. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once, and it discourages me from returning as a customer. read more

Really good food! Tried it for the first time today and my wife and I agreed we will be going back. It was very good.

Went on a solo date first time here and it was so good ! 10/10 recommend ! Staff is nice as well ! read more

Pita Café - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

You get only 4 meat sticks for 70 bucks in family kabob feast. Not really much of a bargain, since you could have literally bought a combo with 2 sticks, 3 times for 20 bucks each. In effect 60 bucks for 6 sticks. Not sure who thought of this feast. But they need to work on adding value to it. Most feasts are a deal relative to a combo. Not the other way around. Food is good though. No free garlic sauce came with it. But yea there are better deals out there in other Mediterranean spots read more

Pita Café - Family Kabob Feast 4 sticks only - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Disappointing. They must have changed cooks, ingredients, or both. The meat cuts are much smaller now, overcooked, and lacking seasoning. Everything else tasted okay, but nothing stood out. Portions have definitely shrunk while prices have gone up -- which sadly seems pretty common everywhere lately. Sad times. read more

The Greek salad is delicious! The portion is a large size and the ingredients are really fresh!!! The olives give it a really nice kick & the dressing is light, but flavorful. You get two of them. Customer Service is always pretty good, food ready in 10-15min, and it always looks clean. It's not a cheap salad, but decently priced especially because the ingredients are good quality. I'll definitely be back to have this salad when I'm craving a refreshing salad, but don't feel like making one myself. read more

BEST CHICKEN KUBIDEH EVER !!! The chicken skewers and the Basmati rice were perfectly moist. No tea unless you order it, no fancy table cloths, just great food. You order at the register, and the server brings it to you. 1 kubideh/rice/pita/salad $16.99 2 kubideh/rice/pita/salad $18.99 read more

I was in the area and wanted something that hits close to home. So I stopped by Pita Cafe. I've never eaten there but heard great things about it, so I gave it a shot. Staff was extremely kind and courteous. The food was made fresh (you can taste the freshness), and the food was absolutely delicious. Their chicken kebab was extremely flavorful? Their beef kebab was tender and juice, and their koobideh was made exactly the way koobideh is supposed to be made. It's a cute small spot with great service and delicious food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that's in the area , especially if you haven't tried it yet! read more

I love Mediterranean food and this Pita Cafe is a winner. My classic gyro was delicious with a very generous portion of meat and veges. I also enjoyed eggplant dip side. Service was A+ by an attentive and hardworking staff. The location is also great on Artesia about a mile east of Sepulveda in fun Redondo Beach Prices are also very reasonable equaling superior value. Highly recommended. read more

I tried this nearby local place. I like the portions of the food they give. I got the lamb gyro plate and they gave me 3 different sauces to try along with the garlic sauce. The hummus was pretty good. The staff was very nice and helpful. The lamb gyro was tender and flavorful. There's parking in the back available if the streets are too busy. read more

Pita Café - Chicken Kabob and lamb gyro. - Mediterranean Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I can't stop thinking about their chicken kabob plate. Perfectly grilled, tender, and full of flavor in every bite. The portion is generous enough to leave you full and happy. The plate comes with fluffy rice, warm pita, and fresh sides that tastes very fresh! You can tell they care about quality. The service is quick, friendly, and efficient. It's the kind of meal that hits every time--comforting, satisfying, and crave-worthy. read more

Always wanted to try here. It's been closed for a while, then opened probably a few weeks or months ago, and finally got the chance since we were in the neighborhood. Place is clean, staff is very friendly and nice. Service was excellent and food came out quickly. Everything looked and tasted fresh. My chicken kabobs were tasty, veggies were fresh and hummus was great. I love their freshly grilled pita breads that had a slight crunch that I love. My kids loved their lamb gyro plate and hubby also enjoyed his beef and chicken koubadeh. Their garlic sauce also adds extra flavor to your meats if you choose. It was a little pricey, but food portions were pretty big. I'd come back here again. Great place to come if you are in the mood for something healthy, fresh and delish! read more

I was really excited for this to open and to try it. It is really cute for grab and go kind of vibe. But I was a little disappointed in the food. It just wasn't as good as I thought it was gonna be. read more

Since living in the area for several decades, we have watched establishments come and go. Pita Cafe on Artesia in Redondo Beach is relatively new, so we decided to check them out via Grubhub. We ordered the Lamb Gyro and Chicken Shawarma. Our order was dropped off on our porch, and when went to fetch it, it felt as though the restaurant had thrown in a 10lb weight in the bag! The amount of protein in either order was generous to the point of embarrassment. Savory slices of lamb stacked so high, I was sure that a large mound of rice lurked underneath the meat. Nope. All meat. My wife finished half of her chicken before throwing in the towel and saving the leftovers for tonight. I managed to finish the entire combo in one sitting. Strict regimen going forward--but man was that delicious and enjoyable. 5 stars for presentation, taste, and generosity. read more

The service was so nice and it's very clean place inside, plenty of parking in the back. The food is fantastic! Fries, the steak and chicken, garlic sauce, veggies and rice are delicious. Only thing is i wish they had a patio with chairs out on the backside of the building instead of the front of the building, to avoid the traffic and garbage smell can out front. I will absolutely come back. read more

The chicken kebab plate was the best. The chicken was so tender and tasty. I would highly recommend trying this one.

I am completely surprised about how much this place changed since they opened . They got a lot of improvements, they change the type of rice , they increased the quantity and quality. The only negative comment it does not have air conditioning. I hope the owner sees my comment. read more

I don't care too much for Mediterranean food in my normal diet but I was craving some beef and chicken koobideh last weekend and got doordash from here. It was fantastic. Best I've ever had. Moist and juicy. Also came with a yummy side salad, hummus, and pita. I already came back twice since. Restaurant itself has plentiful seating. Service is fast and direct. I live down the street and this is on my rotation now for weekly takeouts. read more

I'm updating my review as the first experience was fairly shaky, but having eaten there four times since, it's evident that this place has found its groove. The past few visits, the food has been very good and the service was as well. Each time we went in, it seemed they had changed something about the menu. We were a little concerned about the inconsistency but I think they were just evolving. This past visit impressed me enough to take time to write another review. Portions are big, everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. There is a free lot in the back as well as free street parking on Artesia. The dining room is clean but small so you may want to order online and pick up. Prices are reasonable for the size of portions. The gyro with tabbouleh and an extra side of pickles is my go to while my husband's is the chicken schwarma plate. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a chance. read more

Food was very good and the service was excellent. I'm definitely going back to try some of the other items

Excellent moist chicken kebob , everything fresh. The best humus ever and I will order again. read more

Stopped in on a random weekday for dinner, ordered a lamb gyro and their daily soup special which was a beef/veggie and literally fantastic. Everything here is homemade and the customer service is terrific. Please support this local business! read more

Love that they're open late! First time here, I had been waiting for this place to open, since it's local. So grateful for the parking lot it has in the back because street parking is not easy. The place isn't too big, but cute and clean. I got the chicken shawarma plate & let me tell you, YOU GET A BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! It comes with 2 wraps, I opted for the side of fries vs rice. The wrap was so good and the fries were cooked perfectly. The green sauce they give pairs perfectly, I wanted more of that sauce- so ask for extra! Service was great, the girl there gave me suggestions and was very helpful. read more

Pita Cafe finally is open so we wanted to support a local biz and when for takeout lunch. Parking lot behind has about 5-6 spots which is not bad. The restaurant looks very nice and clean inside. Lots of table to eat at. We got a Chicken Shawarma and Chicken Breast Pita and each came with one side. It took close to 20 minutes for our order to be ready - so you might want to call ahead and then come to restaurant. Both sandwich came with two pieces individually wrapped and tasted good. Chicken Pita had a yellow sauce on it that was very good, but messy. Hand over those napkins! The only drawback was the price! For two sandwiches it was $40! But wish them much success! read more

Half way through my chicken shawarma sandwich and I had to stop and comment. I have had shawarma all over the world and today I think I am eating a masterpiece. Flavor is amazing, perfect spice and the chicken is moist. Pickles mixed in for perfection. I can't even touch the additional sauces as I can't imagine making it any better. Well done team. read more

Been waiting for this place to open for years! This building has been in development for a while, bringing a new Mediterranean restaurant to Redondo Beach. This place finally opened 3/1 so had to give it a try for lunch today. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma wrap, service was quick and friendly, plenty of room inside. The wrap itself was really good, flavorful and portion sizes were great. I'll definitely be checking this place out again. read more

My meal was delicious! I love Lamb Chops, and theirs did not disappoint! I only wish they had them all the time!

The service and the food are amazing!!! However, it is so hot inside the restaurant, don't even think about sitting there to eat. The restaurant owner seems to have given up on the place entirely! No air conditioning because it's been broken for ever now they say which is definitely not true. It's been broken for way longer than that. Let's just say the people who work there all have wet and sweaty hair. I come here with my family every week but I gotta think of a different place to go to now! read more

Had the chicken kabob then another time had the falafel appetizer. Both really good. Loved the falafel appetizer, enough food for a huge meal. Service quick and excellent. Ambiance simple and clean. Parking In the back. read more

Gave this place a shot because it's been under construction forever and finally opened. Won't be coming back. Food was OK tasting, but this kind of portion for the price is unacceptable. Gotta do better than this. read more
