Main entrance and signage of the business
Donovan H.

I don't get the chance to visit Bakersfield very often. However, this hidden gem of a restaurant absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. This is none other than "Pita House", a business that has been around since late-2010 and has been dishing out some amazingly excellent Mediterranean dishes. Located in a strip mall off of Ming Ave and Akers Rd, this business is in a large strip mall that consists of many other eateries and retail stores. Parking can get a little busy depending on the time of day or evening you come. After parking my vehicle, there are no actual windows where you can see inside. And also be careful not to go into the pupusa restaurant as that is right next door. However, when making my way inside, I noticed how this place has that old school look to it. Everything from the avocado-colored walls to the seats and floor tiles, it gives you those 1980's vibes. I also wanted to add that there is a very cool painting of a beach w/ocean near the ordering area as well as another painting of mountains and clouds behind the register. After glancing through their menu, I ended up going with their #24 "Gyro Deluxe" combo. This consisted of 1/2 Greek salad complete with gyro meat inside of pita bread. I chose lamb as my protein of choice. My lady went with their "Chicken Salad" which consists of onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, Romaine lettuce, and olives. There was only one lady working while the chefs were in the back cooking and preparing the food. We arrived around 7:50pm during the evening of Thursday 7/25/2024. Since there was a very large party (of about 8 people) that ordered right before us, the lady (which I am guessing is the owner/manager) said it would be a bit of a wait. I like being informed that it will take awhile to give us a heads up. However, it only took about 25 minutes which I did not mind at all. As far as my gyro and salad, everything tasted absolutely perfect. The salad had some of the greenest lettuce (we are in Kern County where there is so much agriculture here) and it was all very fresh. My gyro also had very generous amount of lamb while the pita was warm and soft. I even tried some of her chicken salad and even this was seasoned to perfection. After cleaning our plates and finishing our meals, we paid and give the lady a little tip. All in all, "Pita House" was a very pleasant surprise and one of the better Mediterranean places I've been to. So if you're in Bakersfield, definitely check them out. Keep in mind they are closed on Sundays but open every other day. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

Shawerma beef plate
Hani G.

I ordered online the shawerma plate for lunch. The order was ready as promised and the lady was super nice but the food let me down. The beef was too salty and the portion was small. The plate came with rice which was good and a small salad.

Beef Gyro served fresh greens & house vinaigrette

Pita House is a Clean and casual restaurant. They are family friendly. You can dine in or take out and they do catering. I was early for lunch so not many people in restaurant. They have a Lovely hand painted mural of a Jordan valley & mountains on one of their walls. It has been Family owned since 2011. I had their Melt in your mouth tender & Delicious beef gyro & tzatziki sauce served with house salad of fresh crunchy veggies with house vinaigrette dressing. The portions are Generous. They have beef, lamb or chicken gyro meat for your preference. I highly recommend their food!

receipt says 16.95, but if u look on the menu it is 13.95. Not a big deal but if it is to you then keep an eye on your receipt.
Raul Z.

Chicken kebab is what I ordered and it tasted very very good. Only thing however is they charged 16.95 instead of the 13.95 it was listed for on the menu. I didn't notice until I drove 5 hours back home. So just keep an eye on the total. Other than that the atmosphere felt very homey which I liked cause it made me feel like I was going to eat very authentic food, which I did. The man is very nice too if you speak to him. Doesn't like Pasadena weather tho.

The order counter

It was a Monday evening, and we didn't want to cook. I had seen this place on Yelp. I love Mediterranean food, and this place had several good reviews. We were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered the chicken swarma with rice pilaf, hummus, and Taziki. Everything is made fresh, so we sat and enjoyed our tea while we waited. It was a bit quiet in the restaurant, but the chairs were comfortable. The food is a good value. The chicken flavorful, the hummus tasty. The menu is full of delights. I wanted to try the grape leaves, but they were out. The owner said, "You need to come earlier." That's a pretty good recommendation that they make things fresh everyday. This is a nice mom-and-pop restaurant you feel good eating at.

Baklava!!!! Amazing
Natalie L.

Flame and skewers move over..! The flavor and quality of food here is amazing! The woman who took our order is the owner I believe, and I think a relative is the cook, just based on how they were communicating . It did take some time to come out, but when it did... it was well worth the wait. I'll definitely be back!

Lamb Shawarma
Adrian T.

I wished I liked the food we ordered more. The vibe of the restaurant is so hole-like and inviting and the owners are so sweet so there's no problem with the restaurant itself. The food was alright... the meat was slightly underseasoned and kinda greasy and the rice had the consistency of riceroni. The hummus was so good and we got alright pita. The portions are small for the price I paid and the lamb tasted like beef. In total I paid around 36 dollars for two plates. I'm sorry to the owners for this review as you were very welcoming.

Lamb gyro

Wow just wow!! The food at this place blew us away. We were served by the owner who was very nice. We wiped the plates clean!!!

A gyro with only meat and very little of it.  It's a rip off for the price.
Todd W.

Decent place, but the food is a joke and the value is horrible. To go pita and salad was 20 bucks for nothing. Literally just a small amount if meat in a wrap with nothing else. A Greek salad with only lettuce. I'm angry about the rip off for something you can buy elsewhere with better quality at half the price.

Chicken shawarma, Greek salad and baba ghanoush. AMAZING!
Jill B.

Holy moly! We went to Pita House last night. We actually had not been in quite sometime due to the pandemic. What were we thinking!? This place is amazing, delicious and authentic! Best Greek food in Bako by far! The family that runs the place are great! Pita House is definitely back in our Friday night out rotation. Bravo!

The falafel appetizer

We looked up organic food as we got close to Bakersfield and pita house came up. It was easy to get off 99 and go. The food was fresh and delicious. The only negative was no olives on the Greek salad, but the dressing was delicious. I'm doing the review now. We got the baklava and tabouli salad to go and will have that for a snack later. Lisa did a great job with the service.

Today, it was a solo early dinner for 1 while I ordered food for the family. Let's talk about the Meat Combo Platter - seriously, it's a carnivore's dream. I was able to taste both the beef kabob and chicken. Each cooked to perfection with its own unique flavor. I've never been a huge fan of grilled chicken but this one is an exceptional! It was so moist and flavorful! Definitely will order again... Now let's talk about the Salmon Platter. This has always been my go-to meal here. Rain or shine, salmon platter is my favorite jam here. The salmon is always so tender and flaky, ad absolutely irresistible. Oh by the way, if you're craving everything on their appetizer menu, you must definitely try the Appetizer Combo. The 3 types of hummus has their own unique flavors. The tziziki is my absolute favorite. Oh it also came mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and fresh tomato with a delicious pesto. I came around 4pm, no wait on grabbing a table or service (which by the way was always with a smile). Food is definitely worth the wait. You can taste the love in each bite. If you haven't tried this place yet, add Panini to your foodie bucket list.

It's a great little place, with a wide variety of interesting Greek style foods. My wife had the fig burger, which is NOT a vegetarian or vegan burger, like I originally thought. It's a real burger, a really good burger in fact, that has a fig jam spread on it. I had it on a previous visit, so I had to bring Kat so she could try it. The sweetness works great with the savory burger, and you can get Greek style lemon potatoes as your side if you like. Now, I'm not a fan of lemon in cooking, but these potatoes were really good. Fried potato chunks, cooked just right, and the lemon just added a tartness that works out really well. I got the chicken souvlaki platter, with two skewers of marinated and seasoned chicken, potatoes, and a nice salad with plenty of crumbly feta cheese. Overall, it's a very nice place, that we WILL be returning to, so we can try out more of their variety. They also do catering!

But that's to one of the biggest kids menus I've seen, I was able to talk my son into some real restaurant food and not fast food for lunch. It was not busy at all. The hostess was really friendly and so was our waiter. We were immediately sat and given waters. I went with the poke salad and it was so good!
