My husband and I decided to make the drive from the East Valley to try Pita Kitchen, and when we…read morearrived the place was packed -- usually a great sign. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable

The prices were amazing as well, especially for the fresh ingredients and overall quality of everything! I am Syrian, and the food reminded me of how my family used to make it! 10/10 recommend!

The korma arrived with tender lamb, a fragrant sauce, and a delicious taste. All items are à la carte, so I ordered rice and garlic naan to accompany the meal. The portion of non-and rice for me was more than enough; I could've used more of the lamb curry. Next time, I will get the noun with the curry. Unfortunately, they no longer have the buffet, but I could see how it would be a great hit if they brought it back. Service was quick and friendly. The food was served hot, and the ambience was traditional Indian decor.

First off, that sign on their window that says Daily Specials is a lie. We asked about it and they…read moresaid they had none for the day we came in. So the daily special is only on weekdays which means they need to change their false advertisement. I wanted to get a 3 meat plate (that item is listed on their website but not on their actual menu). They did not have falafels which sucked. This is one of those places where you need to call in advance to make sure they have their items in stock. The best part about my meal was that it came with a lot of food; which is what I'd expect for a $28.64 meal. It came with rice, hummus, salad, and bunch of fries. Unfortunately, the best parts of the meal were the rice and gyros. The two beef options weren't that great. Although the platter constituted two separate meals for me, it just wasn't fantastic at all. Floors weren't properly cleaned either.

Lamb has a distinct flavor and this did not taste like lamb. More like beef. My family thought it was beef as well. Rice and sauces were good. I recommend and would come back, but I'll need to make sure next time it's lamb before I leave. And if it is lamb, i probably won't order it again because it tasted just like beef.

Unacceptable quality and service - Long-time customer leaving…read moreTo Management, I am writing to formally express my shock and disappointment regarding the order I received today. As you know, I have been a loyal client for years, consistently ordering the same $50 meal multiple times a week. I know exactly what this order looks like. Today, however, the portion size was frankly insulting--it contained barely 25% of the standard meat portion I have received for years. When I called to address this error, the employee acknowledged she knew my order but justified the lack of food by stating that "meat is expensive" and suggested I pay for extra protein. Let me be clear: I was not asking for "extra." I was asking for the standard portion I have paid for hundreds of times. Attempting to charge full price for a quarter of the product--and then dismissing a loyal customer's valid complaint--is bad business. Because of the quality decline and the complete lack of accountability from your staff, you have lost a frequent and loyal client today.
