    Mediterranean Chicken Salad (swapped with Pine Nut Chicken)
    Valeria G.

    Food-10/10 Ambiance-10/10 Service-100/10-Tim was my server and he was so nice, congenial, and recommended a great addition to my salad (pine nut chicken) Yum!

    I can't reiterate how much we love Pita Jungle! It is literally our first choice no matter where we are in the valley. We stopped at the 7th St location for dinner, and Timothy was our server! What an amazing guy. Absolutely adore him! Definitely check them out if you are looking for something healthy and delicious!

    AMAZING to say the least Jamilah ( our waitress) was a breath of fresh air she wasn't kind considerate and gave us such a phenomenal experience I recommend 100 out of 10

    Tim at Pita Jungle goes above and beyond with customer service. .

    We love the food at Pita Jungle and eat in Tempe almost weekly. But great food tastes better with the fantastic customer service of Tim. We started with a hummus trio and each of had different dishes ranging from seafood, chicken and steak pita. We will return. Thanks Tim for making our day.

    This place is so mid, I can't even with these people. They give Mediterranean food a BAD NAME! This is probably the 4th time I've ever tried this place and each time is gets more basic, bland , and LOW QUALITY! The cabbage is brown, the rice is undercooked and crunching, the gyro meat tastes like it was frozen an hour ago. Save yourself the dissatisfaction and anger and drive an hour out of the way to north Scottsdale, stop giving this place your business. I'm baffled this is a "successful" restaurant... must be a front

    Yummy Sangria!  Thank you, Tim!
    Karen A.

    The food is always consistent and the happy hour is amazing! We especially loved Tim being our new server today! He treated us like we have been coming here for years, yet it was our first time meeting him! Maritza is always very sweet and treats us like family, and their happy hour is amazing! We will definitely be back, and as always, great job, PJ!

    I was really excited to bring my parents here while they were visiting from out of town, as I've…read morealways thought the food at Valentine is fantastic and genuinely unique. We arrived without a reservation and were told the wait would be about 25 minutes, which was totally reasonable. We waited the full time and checked in once, only to find the wait continuing to extend while several outdoor tables sat open. When we politely asked about our table, the host (a woman with glasses) responded with a noticeably rude and dismissive attitude. At one point, she muttered under her breath something along the lines of, "If you guys are so anxious... you can head over there," which multiple people in our group heard. It felt completely unnecessary and unprofessional. We were eventually seated at a table that was partially in direct sun, and when we asked about moving to one of the shaded tables, we were told they were unavailable and "reserved". However, those tables remained empty for over 30 minutes, which was frustrating given the situation. To be fair, there was another older woman on staff who was warm, attentive, and fantastic, and the food itself continues to be a highlight. The menu is creative, thoughtful, and one of the reasons we've come back multiple times. That said, this isn't the first time we've experienced service issues here, and it often feels like the restaurant is understaffed, which may be contributing to the inconsistency. I really want to love this place and continue recommending it, but experiences like this make it hard. Great food can only carry things so far when the hospitality side feels off. It's one thing to occasionally be understaffed (I understand people call off in this business) but there's a consistency here which points towards management issues and then on top of it, when your hostess is unnecessarily rude, that's a real bummer. We live in the Willo nearby and I don't think we're going to keep coming here if this restaurant allows the constant service issues and the rude staff like this.

The food feels local yet innovative and most importantly, everything was delicious. Octopus: 5/5 The best octopus dish I've ever had. My seven-year-old son kept asking for more and more. Pretzel: 4/5 The whipped butter and honeycomb paired perfectly with the pretzel. If you're a pretzel lover, you'll really enjoy this. Gem Salad: 5/5 Fresh, bright, and lightly dressed with a subtle mustard flavor. Elote Pasta: If you love Mexican street corn, this playful pasta dish is a fun take on it. Charcoal Cabbage: 10/5 Incredible. The flavors were so unique. It tasted kind of like black garlic. Absolutely unforgettable. Pesto Sundae Dessert: 5/5 So creative and innovative. Fun play on pesto. I've never had ice cream made with pine nuts before and loved it. The basil granita was incredibly refreshing. Service: 10/5 I wish I had gotten their names, but our server (a boxer) and the hostess with long brown hair were fantastic. Truly warm and welcoming service.

Like some other reviews, with it not being busy at all, the staff was very attentive, almost a little too attentive with trying to clear plates when we were still eating, but that's not a real complaint. Onto the food, 10/10, most interesting and scrumptious food I've enjoyed in a while! The Dry Aged Beef Carpaccio was DELICIOUS, I easily ate it by myself. For an entree I got the Chitarra Clam Pasta, it had a really delicious light white sauce, and it was a delight to eat. The pasta itself was cooked well, the clams seemed fine, and the flavors were great. For dessert, two of us split the Brown Butter Cake, and because there was no menu we didn't realize it would be $17, but in the end it was worth it. The cake was topped with ice cream and there was caramel drizzled across the dish, really delicious and more impressive than I would've expected. Overall staff was friendly, didn't need to make a reservation, and the food was mind blowing.
