best Shawarma I have ever had! Get the fried style one so unique and good. I am from LA and have tons of middle eastern options. This place blew me away. The owner and main chef really cares about his craft. 10/10 will come back!! read more

We had a taste of everything. Crispy chicken shawarma, beef and lamb gyro, and falafel pita. Large portions and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their choice. Proteins were seasoned and cooked well. I enjoyed their falafel patties. Baklava was a nice treat at the end of our meal. And the cherry on top was the service; nice homey feel. Definitely one to try if you are in GR. read more

After an appointment we had a craving for Mediterranean food. Pita House was nearby so we tried it. AMAZING!! It's self service so after checking out the menu and reading reviews we both chose the Sami'spita sandwich with the recommended toppings: onion taziki sauce lettuce tomato and feta. The pita bread was soft and fresh and the sandwich is huge! The meat is a combination or beef and lamb. There are several options for toppings. The food came out promptly. We observed many food delivery people coming and going which confirmed that it's a popular place. We look forward to returning soon! read more

The Pita House - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I had pita house via delivery and it was absolutely delicious. Their garlic sauce is amazing and the bread the gyros come on is out of this world. You'll want to order three, though the portions are large so you only need one. It arrived hot and tasty. Do not pass on the French fries!! They are absolutely delicious. Maybe the best part of the meal! read more

Pita House Amazing? Fantastic flavors? Yes. If I need a pick me up at work for lunch and need a delicious yet nutritious meal? Pita House is one of the places I enjoy for my meals. Unfortunately, personally I have not gone in only asked via Uber eats. My family members who have gone there say that the service and ambience is really nice and friendly. As long as I am in Grand Rapids I for sure will order from here whenever it's possible :) Also they are halal :) read more

Come for the amazing food, stay for the music This place is great! One of the few spots I frequent in the GR area because they consistently serve delicious, hot food every time I come. The staff is super helpful, perceptive, and friendly. Check it out, and bring cash!! Cash is king for these local gems read more

Pita house - Wealthy st. Chicken shawarma Pistachio cinnamon roll Pumpkin spice baklava THE SHAWARMA HITS HARDER THAN MY ANXIETY. Perfectly tender meat, fresh bread, great tasting sauces, and the pickled veggies put it over the top. The pistachio cinnamon roll was also excellent. More pistachio flavor than cinnamon. Frosting was seriously incredible, I hope they make this a regular item. I wasn't a huge fan of the pumpkin spice baklava. It was refrigerated and I'm pretty sure it wasn't baked that day if you catch my drift. Didn't have that iconic flakeyness of phyllo dough. Flavor was a mild pumpkin spice with a bit of nuttiness and butter. I'd try their regular baklava for sure (next time!!!). Definitely coming back here. read more

We visited Pita House during a family trip, so the entire crew came along. Whereas this is usually a recipe for frustration, as there's at least one person who just can't find anything to satisfy on any given menu, we were not disappointed here! Even the fussy eaters found crispy, tasty meat, creamy and flavorful baba ganoush and hummus and salads. The cafe Arabia - sometimes known as Turkish, Greek, or Macedonian coffee - really hit the spot. I would not think twice about a return visit with a whole gaggle of hungry, fussy eaters. read more

Placed a quick online order here for lunch today and it did not disappoint! Super easy to order, ease of access with street parking or their small parking lot, and the food is amazing. They were also super friendly. I ordered the Sami's Gyro ($14) and customized it with tzatziki, garlic sauce, feta, tomato, cucumber, parsley, and sumac seasoning. This might be the best gyro I've ever had, and it was huge!! Tons of gyro meat, great flavor, and they didn't skimp on the sauce either. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch! read more

My favorite restaurant ever. Phenomenal food and service always. Come here if you are in town.

I've been eating here for many years. Mostly in East Town but more recently on 28th street. I usually get the black and white gyro and I love it. read more

Stopped in for lunch and the food was amazing!! The fresh, hot falafel was the best I've ever had. The chicken shawarma platter with roasted garlic sauce was SO good. Every component was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Highly recommend The Pita House! read more

Thank you for the delicious food you catered for our wedding! My husband is a GR native who knew this would be a great option for guests that included vegetarians, so we knew it would be tasty, but wanted to say that you were so helpful in helping us figure out catering that worked with our budget. We really appreciate the kind and honest service after experiencing other places that try to upcharge everything for weddings. This is a lovely local business we recommend to everyone! read more

Everything is amazing on 28th Street location Authentic and delicious Yummy!!!!!!!! I order the Kibbe my fav Mujaddara is really good The hummus is wonderful and so is the Fattoush Salad!!! For dessert try their homemade Baklava I LOVE THE FOOD HERE!!!!!! read more

Great meal. I had a platter with hummus, grape leaves, and falafel. The location is great and the east GR vibes are there. Service is helpful and I am always satisfied when I come. read more

The Pita House - Fatoosh Salad Falafel Hummus & Pita Bread Stuffed Grape Leaf - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

It looked good from the outside. It was pricey which would have been fine if the quality measured up. The Lebanese salad was bland. The Cucumber sauce for the gyro platter was bland. We had a mix of chicken and also the beef/lamb gyro on the platter. It was cut in thick slabs, not crispy and not particularly tasty. Bottled hot sauce, not authentic. My whole wheat pita was crumbly, the flour pita was passable but not warmed. Quite disappointing. All the other reviews are positive so you may enjoy this spot but it didn't work for my husband and I. read more

Flavors and portions never disappoint! Pita House is my favorite Mediterranean spot in GR. I prefer platters but the gyros are just as good. Other than the food on the menu, there are also many drinks and snacks to purchase. There's a shelf of spices, sauces, chocolates, and other goodies by the register! The only thing I don't feel great about the last few times I stopped by is the service. If I hadn't had Mediterranean food before, I would've felt lost and rushed as my order was being taken. The person taking orders seemed a bit impatient and wouldn't explain the different options when my friend tried ordering for the first time. Luckily I was able to help out. It's kind of like ordering Mediterranean style Chipotle except there are no labels or guidance, simply "what do you want." Nonetheless, still my go-to Mediterranean spot in GR. Street and paid parking available in the area! read more

Tony Stark would love this chicken Shawarma I had today from Pita House--and so will you. OMG the toppings made it: garlic sauce, shredded lettuce, pretty mild onions, large sliced pickles, pickled turnips (FOR THE WIN), and sumac! Don't miss a topping and get a fork because this thing is STUFFED and you don't want to leave anything behind. My friends had the Greek Fries (SO many fries, topped with feta, parsley, sumac and greek dressing--on the side, for dipping) and no one--literally these big grown men could not finish their fries. You could eat the Shawarma and the fries maybe two or three meals. . .this is the place for you to finally eat some shawarma and find out what the fuss has been about for what, ten, fifteen years now? read more

SUCH good food this place never disappoints!! Grew up going here the staff is amazing!! The place is so homey, clean and casual I take all my friends from out of town here. My fav items are the tabouli, falafel, and you HAVE to get the Greek fries and baklava. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a great gyro. It's nice to be able to see and select your own toppings as they make it in front of you. They give you a generous portion of meat and it tasted delicious. I can eat a lot and it was tough finishing the gyro myself. The workers were all extremely friendly and quick. You can get a combo with fries and a fountain drink, but I wanted a vitamin water so the price added up pretty quickly getting the gyro, fries, and a vitamin water separately. Inside has plenty of tables and it wasn't too busy on a weekday around noon. Will definitely come back! read more

Is this much oil really necessary? Food tasted good but next time I will ask for no oil. Easy does it guys. read more

Went here twice with family. There's free parking. First time I had the chicken shawarma, it was delicious! Second time had the platter of chicken shawarma because I was extra hungry and it was very filling! Portions are pretty big so perfect to take home some leftovers. It's owned by a family and they were very nice, overall good experience and highly recommend anything that has chicken! read more

Stellar gyro! It was huge. The walnut baklava is my new favorite. We'll be eating here again.

Great pitas! Everything was fresh and tasty. Prepared exactly as I wanted. The free parking for customers was super helpful, as the street parking can be competitive. read more

This is MY FAVORITE place to get gyros in GR! Great service, friendly staff, and a THE BEST FOOD! They've been expanding their selection of items available to take home in a cute market style display. The only thing I'd change would be the hours- I want to eat there every day. read more

The (hands down) very best gyros in town. Generously heaping portions, deliciously fresh toppings, and lovely owners who are friendly and kind. Go out of your way for this spot-- great food! read more

The falafel was some of the best I have ever had! We also had the hummus, garlic sauce and chips, so good!! When I have ordered takeout in the store the staff is friendly and helpful. The dine in portion of the store is pleasant and clean. read more

Yummy in my tummy! My favorite late night spot, or any time of the day really. The Pita House turns a simple cheeseburger into a delicious meal and that's what I love about them. Everything tastes and is super fresh! They make the food with love. The employees are super nice and welcoming. If you're super hungry, don't worry, food comes out super quick! I've tried almost everything on the menu and every time I go I'm always confused as to what to get because everything is just sooooo good ! read more

We were able to order the Pita House for delivery recently, and it was awesome! The gyros were perfectly prepared and authentic. The falafel was okay, not my favorite but still not bad. For dessert, we enjoyed the baklava which was perfectly portioned and the perfect cap to this meal. The real winner, however, were the AMAZING Greek fries!!! We are addicted!!! Before 2020, I never put more importance into the packaging of my food. But this year, since all we've been able to do is order takeout, it's become a whole new ballgame! The food from Pita House was packaged very well. I would've loved to see packaging that is a little more sustainable. Overall, everything was well preserved and intact when it was delivered to us. read more

This is a gem right in east town. The food was so fresh and delicious! I recommend the Chicken Shawarma platter and Sami's Gyro sandwich. The price is also very reasonable. I live so close to this place and honestly embarrassed I've never gone before. Will be returning often! read more

Very good takeout experience with Pita House. Everything was packed up nicely and the entire order was complete. Baba ghanooj was a little chunkier/lumpier than I prefer, but the flavor was good. Greek fries and Tour of Greece platter satisfied my cravings, the included fattoush salad was particularly delicious with beautiful red, ripe tomatoes (sometimes a truly difficult thing to find in the middle of a MI winter). Chicken Shawarma wrap was a little smaller than expected, but tasty. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! I brought a friend here that hasn't had any of this before and we both loved it. This is my first time coming here and I will definitely be coming back. The staff was very friendly and helpful! It only took about 10 minutes to get our food and they did an amazing job! read more

I love the Pita House. They have delicious, fresh food and friendly service. I'm never disappointed. I love their gyros, falafel, and Chicago cheese. I've been going to Pita House for at least 20 years now or more. Highly recommend! read more

$11 for a tiny tiny Greek salad with no protein was outrageously expensive. Very disappointing experience. No bread. No crackers. You order at cash register. My order was to go. I wondered why the amount was so much more than price listed. I looked at my receipt and discovered the 18% tip charge. I will never go back. read more

The Pita House - Paired my Turkish coffee with the Sami's gyro & their fries (w/the feta & olive oil) = girl's night carb loading delight - Mediterranean Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is still the best place for gyros and Middle Eastern fare on the South East side. They recently moved from their old place a couple of doors down and this is essentially the same business but in a new location. There is more seating in the new location and better parking options. The gyros are typically packed full of toppings and they certainly don't skimp on the meat. They also have the same great vegetarian options. I recently visited the new location and even with an indecisive, verbose and slow-moving older lady in line ahead of us, they were still able to keep the lunch-rush line moving at a reasonable pace. Great food at a fair price - this is typically my first choice for lunch when I'm working on this side of town. read more
