After a very long day driving to NY from Virginia, a friend and I found Pita House this evening and decided to eat there. Boy am I glad we did! The owner, Joff, was so friendly and inviting. The lamb dish I had was so delicious and I topped it off with a wonderful piece of house made baklava for dessert. Perfection! 5 Stars for Pita House! A restaurant that's been in business nearly 35 years says a lot about the management. It's not an easy business, especially in today's economy! I wish I lived closer but next time I'm on Long Island I'll definitely be visiting Pita House and Joff again! read more

The owner/chef is fantastic! He interacts with everyone! The food is second to none... the lamb kebabs are so soft, flavorful, and juicy!

MUST READ: First review ever and I'm taking the time to make one because this place is so bad and poor quality. Ordered a large Greek salad. Came with 4 cucumber slices and 3 tomatoes. One end cap off the tomato and a discolored piece. The gyro meat was butchered and tasted old. The salad is old. Taziki sauce was atrocious. This place needs to visit some other spots just to get an idea of how to put good food together. Place was empty for a reason. Let me help you and give you a recommendation... Akropolis in Smithtown. Hands down great quality. read more

In November 2023, I was served spoiled food at this establishment. When I politely attempted to return it, the owner refused to take accountability and instead made a blatantly racist statement, telling me, 'you people always give me issues.' Customers of color should be aware of how they will be treated here if there is a legitimate issue with their meal. If you have an issue with POC dont work with the public. read more

The Pita House never disappoints! Their marinated swordfish shish kebabs and turkey orzo soup are a personal favorite :) read more

Honestly one of the worst gyros I've ever had. The lamb and beef gyro meat was flavorless. Chicken lemon soup was mediocre.

Grabbed some soup while on the mend from Pita House. While shacking up at my parent's house for a few days, I decide I would go pick up some soup at one of their local Mediterranean spots. Ordering over the phone was quick and easy. And when I went in with Bubs to pick up and pay I found a cute dining area inside. A lot bigger than what I expected. Staff were nice and welcoming and even said hi to Bubs. When I brought the chicken lemon soup back to my parent's I was pleasantly surprised. Huge chunks chicken, carrots and mushroom were swimming in my delicious soup. Mom stole some from me...It was very tasty and I would definitely order it again. A large is about $8 when you pay with a card. My only critique is that it was a tad oily. I normally wouldn't mind, but your girl's lack of gallbladder sometimes does. read more

Excellent restaurant. Menu is impressive. Our kids enjoyed the kabobs and all food was very tasty including soups. We had will be back again. The waitress did an exceptional job read more

Once again a great dinner. Chicken lemon soup was the best and I had a filet minion pita sandwich and it was excellent. This is such a nice place and the food is always good. Everyone should try it and see what I mean read more

Great food and service, wide variety of meals in a comfortable atmosphere will recommend to anyone looking for tasty Turkish dishes

I went out of my way tonight to get a large Greek salad from Pita House , as i was a frequent customer at the Setauket location when it was in business. I ordered the large Greek salad which came to $15. What i received was a large aluminum dish with all lettuce , 3 thin slices of cucumber and tomatoes a little larger than a quarter , a little crumbled feta and oil dressing. Come on guys! Should have gone to Zorba or Gilshar and not gotten ripped off. Shame on you. Horrible value. read more

Delicious food, succulent meats, crunchy falafel, good vibes, and close to two highways. What more can you ask? We had an excellent meal here and we will come back for sure. Thank you! read more

I really enjoy the food at Pita House and the friendly service makes this a fine place to dine

The other day, my wife and I decided to stop in for a quick bite. The restaurant is very large but the service makes the guest feel instantly welcome. The ambiance is warm, bright, and inviting. The menu offers the staples of Turkish food. I ordered the lamb gyro (döner) platter with white rice and a salad. The salad was fresh, the dressing came on the side. The lamb arrived pipping hot. No need to beat around the bush, it was delicious! The lamb was cooked to perfection and the rice was equally as good. As an after dinner treat I ordered a cup of decaffeinated American coffee and baklava. The baklava was good, the coffee not so much. Next time, I am going to try the Turkish coffee. The Takeaways 1. Ample parking 2. Excellent food to price ratio 3. Wonderful staff 4. Excellent price 5. Excellent food read more

We wanted to try some other food outside of seafood in Long Island, so we came here to try out their Mediterranean dishes. The interior has a warm, family-owned business-like vibe. It is great for groups and when you're in the mood for some Mediterranean delights. Service is great, the staff were very attentive to our needs, laid out the specials for the day, and shared their recommendations which worked out nicely for us. Within my party, I was the most experienced in terms of Mediterranean/Turkish cuisines (they have virtually none), so I am rating solely from my point of view. We started off with the Baba ganoush with pita bread which was good but I wouldn't say it really stood out from other spots that I have tried before. It is a safe and tasty choice. I had ordered the Manti, and I really enjoyed it, they came out in cute, bite-sized portions like gnocchi but stuffed with lamb and glazed over with yogurt and spicy sauce - in my past, I am used to Manti being much larger. For our main dish, we had ordered the Anatolian Special which comes out in a huge spread of lamb gyro cuts, adana and chicken kebabs, lamb chop, and bulgur rice on the side. These were grilled very well, lamb chops were absolutely delicious, the adana kebab and lamb gyros went very well with the minty yogurt sauce with bulgur rice on the side. I highly recommend this dish if you want an assorted selection! Unfortunately, we ran out of time and were not able to try out their Baklava, hopefully, we can come back to try again. read more

Awful! I moved to this area 2 years ago and have yet to have a good Gyro. This place is the worst. Cardboard has more flavor than the meat in this thing. I asked for no onions :LOADED with onions. Lettuce was wilted. Baklava. Bleh. No effort. This place is going through the motions. If you want boring tasteless food This is the place for you. read more

Food is excellent, service is excellent and there is a big parking lot steps away. Give it a try!

Excellent service Excellent food Excellent atmosphere Tasty generous portions, tender chicken and lamb!! Friendly and welcoming service!! read more

Food is amazing! The lemon chicken soup is better than home made( well my home made anyways) had the lamb chops and shrimp. Was perfectly cooked and spiced. The lamb was tender and super tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. Owner even came by the table and had a chat! They had the doors open to let fresh air in which I Absolutely love Worthy stop! read more

The food was delicious. I had the swordfish kabobs with the Greek salad and medley of grilled vegetables and I loved every bite of it. My wife had the chicken kabobs and Greek salad dinner. It was excellent. The service was great and the ambiance was nice read more

The food is Delicious. I always get the Gyros and Chicken Soulvaki and of course their yogurt sauce.

Service was great but unfortunately the food was not. Spinach pie seems like it's not cooked or it got wet from being in tin foil,not sure. The falafel is bland no flavor and the tzatziki sauce is watery. Really wanted to like this place... read more

Damn good soup! Not that I normally get excited over soup.But on a raw, dreary day away from home Pita House was an awesome find. The Turkey Orzo soup, simple as it sounds, was banging with the flavors of Turkish spice and tender turkey. My daughter & I split the Zucchini Fritters appetizer. I think they put it in the wrong category as it was entree-sized. Three shredded zucchini patties, breaded, fried and covered with warm yogurt and tomato sauces: it was the best thing I've eaten in a while! The fritters also stuffed us. Had to take our Greek Salad and Lamb Adana gyro (huge) to go. They made great snacks later on. Service was great - friendliest people in the area. They walk you through the Turkish menu, happy to get others acquainted with their delicious cuisine. read more

After several visits I've got to say this is the best, most authentic Turkish food I've had! From the moment of entry you're greeted with a warm welcome and a memorable food experience. Food was fresh, well priced and plentiful. Look forward to my next visit .. and the soups are amazing!! read more

We started off with the cheese cigar and eggplant in tomato sauce appetizer. Both were delicious. The cigars were crispy and the filling was creamy snd cheesy, a bit salty but normal for cheese cigars. The eggplant was flavorful. The chicken main was delicious. The chicken was juicy and light in flavor. The lamb gyro was okay. It was game tasting g. You could definitely taste the lamb so too much can be overwhelming. Maybe it needed to be cooked more, better cleaned or have extra flavor. The iskandar kabab was a huge disappointment. The breat was soaking wet (see picture). I don't know if they put water on the base of the plate or they didn't toast the bread well enough and just left it sitting on the plate for a while and added some kind of liquid but by the time I got to the table it was really wet it was unappetizing. The sauce on top of the meat tasted exactly like marinara sauce from ajar which is disappointing because usually the sauce is very flavourful on this type of dish. The French fries were very bad. They were thick but they were oily and mushy and overdone. We didn't eat them. Two of our mains cane with salad, which was okay. It lacked a freshness and the olive looked old and pruny. The lemon orzo soup was fine. Mera's tip: don't miss out on the appetizers. read more

This is a good place for authentic Mediterranean. The food was delish but I did have one day where the service was terrible. They did have a wedding on the other side so it was an off day. Overall, get the authentic stuff. The chicken is dry so stay away from it. read more

Superior Mediterranean food in a great atmosphere - salad at lunch was enormous and the ground lamb on top was cooked to perfection with just a hint of spice. This is now one of our "go-to" places. read more

Authentic Turkish cuisine in all respects. Top quality ingredients like olive oil, rice esp the bulgar etc. Everything is stellar.

Dropped by here for a quick lunch takeout and wasn't disappointed. We had the beyti and lamb gyro platters, which came with generous portions of flavorful meats and bulgur. The side of red lentil soup was good but lacked a bit of seasoning. Great food and value! read more

Greeted as we entered by a very friendly waitress who seated us. We love Mediterranean food so I was looking forward to enjoying some delicious treats. We started with the Feta cheese and herb filled Turkish cigars, flakey filo pastr, nice and crisp. We also tried the zucchini fritters. I enjoyed them but my husband prefers lightly dredged and pan friend zucchini. We both opted for a gyro, meat was plentiful and well seasoned. Lots of tzaiki sauce, lettuce, onion and tomato. Served with a Greek salad or soup and fries or rice. All in all a good meal I would recommend Pita house to anyone searching for a good gyro! read more

Having something "different" in the area for me has always led to Pita house. Besides the typical Italian, Mexican, or Chinese for dinner conversation, most of the time the road leads here because of lack of the other options. They've been around forever, and have maintained a respectable reputation. The food is good. It's not great, or anything that will blow the roof off but it's decent food. They're a bit pricey, their portions (protein wise) are sometimes a little light, BUT they're a nice change up once in a blue moon from the same types of food. I don't actively seek them out, and I have 100% had better at other Turkish establishments, but it's decent enough & convenient enough that we'll get dinner from here every few months or so. read more

So I was at this restaurant last week with a friend for lunch! I posted a review on Google! I wrote about our lunch and how terrible it was! The lettuce was old, in our salad and my friend thought the same . The spinach pie was very dry, and the top was hard and it was hard to cut! Now I used to come to the restaurant and I would tell people how good it was! But this time, I was not happy! And I was shocked that we got charged 1.50 for one extra yogurt sauce and 1.50 for dressing!! I think the waitress should tell you there will be a charge that should be posted on the menu!! Now That being said I posted the comment on Google reviews! And I received a reply from the restaurant! Well I put a picture of the waitress' response, but it's hard to see! This is what she said! She told me I wrote the review in the parking lot ! No I didn't I wrote it in the restaurant lol and she said I was mad because I got charged for the sauce! I wasn't mad. I was shocked!! Yeah we paid for the dressing and the sauce! I found it to be a very poor response of the restaurant! We didn't cheat her on her tip we didn't say anything nasty to her! But yet she took offense! I guess customer service is something of the past! Sorry Pita house, you have lost my business and I will tell other people not to go there!!!! read more
