I came here with my coworker since we were nearby for a work meeting. She suggested this place since she used to come here at least twice a week when she worked in an office nearby. I'm so glad she suggested it because I was happy with the taste of the food. The service was friendly, and our food was brought to our table rather quickly. There was plenty of dining room space and many tables. It's a casual environment with the fountain drink machine and self serve for utensils and napkins. There was a small TV on in the corner. We both ordered the mixed beef and chicken Shawarma plate. The pita bread was warm and paired well with the beef and chicken. There was something very tangy and delicious about the salad dressing which I really enjoyed. My friend asked for the hot sauce and I'm glad she introduced me to it. While it was spicy, just a little dip went a long ways. I lived the spicy green sauce! The garlic sauce that the plate came with was delicious and complemented the proteins. I'll stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Honestly it pains me to write this, but this straight up wasn't good. Ordered chicken Shawarma plate. Chicken was bland and extremely dry (see pics), side salad wasn't that good either, and rice was bland as well. Staff was nice for sure. Maybe other people have gotten them on a good day, but my experience just was straight up not good. read more

Pita Grill Express - Shish and shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

We ordered lunch for our team here last week. Very accommodating and had our food ready right after they opened. All.the orders were correct, well packaged and delicious! I had a Chicken Shwarma with Armenian Salad. It was soooo good. Will definitely be back! read more

Love the food here great tasting dishes very authentic. They were always so nice when I go in I would definitely recommend this place.

Unfortunately, nothing memorable about the food. I came here for lunch on a Monday. This place is called California Pita Grill, so not sure if there was a switch in owners. First time coming here, and probably last unfortunately. There are a lot of options here. I got the chicken pita wrap combo with Greek salad for an additional $3.50. Total came out to be about $12.50 which is not bad for lunch. The combo comes with a drink as well. The lunch portion size is enough to fill you up with just the wrap alone... but the chicken was extremely salty and sour. I should have gone to Doner G's instead. I took out most of the chicken because it was so salty. The Greek salad was okay, although it too was doused in sauce also. Better luck next time. read more

I'm absolutely hooked on the Chicken Shawarma at Pita Grill Express in Orange, and if I could eat twenty, I totally would. The chicken is juicy, deeply seasoned, and flame‑broiled to perfection, with a slight smoky char that instantly makes you want the next bite. The wrap is everything I crave: tender chicken wrapped in fresh pita, with crisp lettuce, tangy tomatoes, turnips, and that signature dreamy garlic sauce--which I always request extra--and truthfully, it elevates each bite. It's savory, creamy, and the ideal partner to the seasoned chicken. I truly mean it when I say I could eat this over and over again. Portions here are generous, and the value really stands out--customers consistently praise how filling each meal is and say the portions leave no one hungry The staff are always warm and efficient, keeping things moving whether you're dining in or grabbing take‑out On recent visits, everything arrived piping hot and perfectly assembled--never soggy, always fresh. The garlic sauce remains my favorite--it's homemade, rich but not heavy, and just tangy enough to cut the richness of the chicken without overpowering it read more

This was my second visit to Pita Grill Express and both times were just awful. For starters, they are not an authentic Greek restaurant and their food is just garbage. My Greek salad tasted soaky and like if it was made the day before. I literally tossed it in the garbage after just a few bites. The two side pieces of falafel tasted okay but also not great. Zero stars for horrible food. read more

I love this place. The owners are so nice and they go out of their way. Their food is always fresh and amazing. My girlfriend's and I love to go and catch up and enjoy some great Mediterranean food. read more

This place has gone way downhill. I haven't been here in months but it was one of my favorite Mediterranean places in OC. The wrap I got today was nothing like the one I had last time. Not only did they increase the price, but i feel like the portions shrunk. Not only that, but the wrap legitimately sucked. The chicken was so dry and they removed the fries and sauce that they used to put in. The cut on the pickled onions were so blocky and it was put together so haphazardly. Not sure if I just came on an off day but I don't know if I'll come back again. The one redeeming factor was the cashier was very nice and service was fast. I would have preferred to wait longer for better food though. read more

Pita Grill Express - Chicken Kabab Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

Honestly, super disappointed with Pita Bread Express. The portions are ridiculously small -- definitely not worth the $18 per plate. The "shish kabob" isn't even real shish kabob meat; it tastes more like cheap carne asada cuts thrown on a skewer. Every item on the plate looks minimal and underwhelming, like a kid's meal at best. Definitely not coming back -- total waste for what you pay. read more

Love grabbing lunch here! The food is delicious each time I go. All of the staff are nice and friendly. The gentlemen that make and prepare the food are quick and ask what grilled meat people in line are going to order to ensure the lunch rush is smooth. The cashier is very sweet and kind. Plenty of tables to choose from if you decide to eat inside. read more

Love this place. Lady gets the veggie plate, many options to customize it. I get shawarma plate, always good. Nice staff. Get in there! read more

This is my favorite place. The chicken kabob plate is perfect I usually eat it for lunch and dinner and then get an order of their spicy hummus. I crave the food. I live near a few other spots and I still will make the extra drive to this one because they have garlic sauce and their food just taste so much better! read more

We had Pita Grill catering at a school event this week and it was delicious. I absolutely loved the freshness of their salad, the dressing was tart and lemony (just what you'd expect for a Mediterranean salad). The chicken was shredded but not dry, the rice had a great flavor, and their pita and garlic hummus/dip was awesome! I can't wait to stop in now that I know about this place. read more

Delicious food and great service... the garlic sauce it's one of the best sauces.. and the employees are very friendly read more

Worst gyro I've ever had! Asked for Tzatziki & was told it's already in there. Gyro was cold, the small amount of Tzatziki tasted like refrigerated plain cold cream cheese. Yuck! There was just an 1/8th of a tomato wedges, meat & a couple slices of onion. Threw it away because it was so gross. Definitely won't be going back read more

OMG my son and I stopped by and let me say this place is bomb! The service was friendly, fast and on point, everything you wish all restaurants would be! We had the chicken and shish ( steak ) kabobs , everything was fresh and oh so tasty! It's small and very clean. Our experience was GREAT! We will be back when in the area. read more

Great food! Great service! They know me by voice... the mixed grill plate is awesome. Garlic sauce and salad are tasty as well!

Guys when I tell you this place is a 10/10 and so worth your money, I mean it. The gentleman who is always here is such a sweetheart and very welcoming. The food is so healthy and well made. It truly is the spot to go to when you're feeling for a healthy yet fulfilling meal! Alongside all that, me and my girlfriend favorite meal to get is the mixed grill which is a plate that has a combination of three different meats, salad, and humus with a garlic sauce on the side, and a piece of pita bread. But 10/10 everybody like seriously it's a must try! read more

The service was really good. We got the mixed grill plates and sides of cucumber salad. The meat was very fresh and had great flavor. I recommend the steak kabobs more than anything. The serving size of the hummus was a little small though for the price read more

How tf do you forget to put the meat in the order? Learn how to do you job. We made a phone order to pick up and wtf is this? And when we call the lady she didn't even apologize and tried to doubt us like we're effing lying. Why tf would I pretend to not receive the meat? We work in the healthcare field so we MAKE ENOUGH MONEY to afford this cheap shiz. Never coming back. read more

This was my first time ordering here. Got the chicken kabob plate. My second bite into my meal I discovered a large thick black hair. Needless to say that was the last bite for me. Sadly I did not get to enjoy my lunch. Looking at the meal some of the lettuce was also brown and wilted and the hair... the hair was just gross. Ruined my appetite. read more

How a place that serves middle eastern cuisine where most of the items should be naturally gluten free doesn't have a single gluten free item? Firstly, they gave me massive attitude when I asked. Secondly, I've been there before and picking things that look gluten free or don't have gluten ingredients I tested it and it was fine. So I went in again to ask about a few items and got "sorry none of our items are gluten free" Yeah ok. They just don't know and don't even care to look so guess I don't care to come back and if you're gluten-free (especially celiac) don't even bother. Waste of your breath. read more

Good fast food restaurant close to UCI Medical Center. Basic Mediterranean fare, kabobs, rice, pita, greek salad, etc. Not sure why there are so many poor reviews. It's fast food, expectations for fast food should be speed, decent quality and service. Great service and food was good. read more

I honestly do not know why I come back. The chicken is always dry and they are OVERPRICED! I got the chicken salad and all they give you in the salad is Romain lettuce and literally one olive sliced. Makes me wonder how they keep their doors open. Only reason they got 2 Stars is because the flavor is there. read more

Pita Grill Express - Grilled Chicken Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Orange, California

Location: located in Orange off of Chapman and rampart across from the Renaissance apartments. Although there are several other eateries there is a ton of parking available. Venue: rather small but really cozy. About 12 tables inside so I'm sure it can get packed if busy during lunch. However, I walked in and ordered to go around 6:15 pm and only one other table was occupied. Surprising since I thought a Sunday may be busy. Food 5/5 The menu had a good selection of Mediterranean dishes and was reasonably priced. I ordered the chicken kabob plate for $10.50 and man it did not disappoint. The chicken kabob plate came with two chicken skewers on a bed of rice and a side salad along with pita bread. Everything was cooked so well! Definitely adding this spot to top favorites and also plus since it is close to home, win! Service was also pretty fast for a to go order. I waited about 5-10 minutes and the cashier was pleasant. The restaurant was also very clean! read more

One of my go to spots for lunch. I love coming here because it's quick and healthy and the portion sizes are great. I usually get the chicken shawarma salad. It comes with 2 sides of salad of choice. I usually go for the Greek salad and Armenian salad. The chicken shawarma is always fresh off the grill and the garlic sauce that comes with it is amazing! Definitely worth a visit when you're in the mood for something light and healthy. read more

I've been coming to Pita Hot for years and I haven't had problems with them until today. I ordered the half grill, which comes with a skewer of chicken and a grilled kafta, which I ordered medium well. I come back to my office and start eating the kafta, and it's bloody red inside. I've never had a bad experience here with the grilled items, but this was bad. Luckily my chicken was cooked all the way, so I ate that ok. The hummus had a weird texture to it, very watery, and it wasn't seasoned at all. I also ordered a side of the garlic potatoes, another favorite dish of mine. The potatoes weren't seasoned very well and some of the big chunks were undercooked. Like I said, I've been coming here for years and never had a problem with them. I'm not sure what happened, but I couldn't eat most of my food, which was very pricey by the way. I hope this was just a one off thing, because I'd hate to stop coming here. read more

OPEN during quarantine as of 4/11/20 for take out and delivery. Okay so it is time for an update since this place is still my favorite for Mediterranean food and big potions (see my pics)! Recently, I have been obsessed with their sandwiches and plates for years now since I discovered this gem 4 years ago. I hear that they are opening a new location in Buena Park in addition to this one by Knotts. I can't wait to check that one out! One of my favorite items here are the pickled turnips (which are on the chicken pita sandwich) and their garlic sauce (which I put on everything). The owner said that he pickles the turnips himself and he makes the garlic sauce from scratch with a secret family recipe, how cool! read more
