What a great hidden gem in cocoa beach! We had the gyro hummus and chicken schwarma. Both were very large portions, excellent quality and so very good. We will be back. Highly recommend! read more

In these cold, dark times nothing soothes the bones like chicken soup and these guys make THE BEST ANYWHERE!! The restaurant is quite big since they expanded a few years ago and can accommodate large dinner parties. The food is made fresh and authentically. The servers are pleasant and friendly and generally prompt. Now that I've included all that fluff, let's go back to the SOUP. It's rich and tangy and full of chicken, rice, vegetables, herbs, and Lebanese spices. It's honestly perfect. If you're bones have yet to warm up from the last cold front, try this scrumptious soup read more

Don't let the outside fool you. Pita Paradise is tucked into a strip shopping center and doesn't look like much, but once inside it's actually a really nice experience. The food was delicious. We started with hummus and pita chips and a lentil soup that was warm and comforting. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The main dishes were generous and well seasoned, and nothing felt rushed. Staff was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere inside was relaxed and welcoming. If you're in Cocoa Beach and in the mood for Mediterranean food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

Great hidden date night location. Spicy Hummus and ambiance 10 out of 10! My husband got the lamb shank and loved it. I got Shish Twouk, not my favorite-but everything else made up for it. read more

Really good food, and attentive service! To start, got the spicy feta, which is delicious. Spicy and flavorful. Huge portion. For my meal, got the grilled chicken kabob plate. Also a huge portion, with tons of meat, rice, vegetables, and lavash bread. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back when I'm in town! read more

This pita place wasn't too bad at all. It comes pretty close to authentic and is definitely worth trying. I've been back several times, which says a lot. The prices are perfect for what you get, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming when you walk in. Solid spot if you're craving pitas and want something reliable. read more

The food here was honestly really good & definitely the highlight of the experience. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful, and I genuinely have no complaints about the kitchen itself. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. One of our entrees was forgotten entirely, so one person in our party ended up eating much later than everyone else. We also ordered a mint lemonade that never came, but it was still included on the bill. On top of that, the menu listed the side Greek salad as $3.50, but we were charged $5 instead. Another thing that rubbed us the wrong way was the automatic 20% gratuity added for a party of 5, especially because it was calculated after taxes. With the service issues we experienced, it felt a little excessive. Overall, the food was great and has a lot of potential to bring us back, but the front-of-house service definitely needs a bit more finesse and attention to detail. read more

Honestly one of the best Mediterranean places I've checked out! Amazing presentation and service! Yasin was an amazing host too!!

An absolute gem. They food was excellent. We went in the afternoon for lunch and both had the falafel pita, not knowing that the servings were so large that we both brought home leftovers for dinner. I highly recommend the mint lemonade which was delicious. We will definitely be back when we are in Cocoa. read more

Neat place, a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside. Very good food, the best gyro I've ever had - very tender. Great service, our waiter Yasin was very friendly. read more

We enjoyed it! Our server was so nice and the ambiance was great. We both had a gyro and Greek salad, they were both very good. We will be back to try something else! read more

Food+Service+Ambiance.. All Excellent. Not just your stop for a gyro fix, Paradise Pita offers the best in Lebanese dining. The Okra Stew with Lamb was to die for, seriously bursting with flavor and each bite was pure joy. Of course I had to sample from the Paradise Grill, with chicken, beef and lamb grilled to perfection. You can't call it paradise without also having the Mezza plate, which I like to use for garnishing rather than an appetizer, and always finish it off with some Baklava. Even the Basmati rice was the best I've had. Yes I have leftovers for days, but that was the plan. I'll be visiting this place every time I'm traveling to Cocoa for sure! read more

Overall 4.5 Stars Never been to Cocoa Beach and we had a free day before heading on to a cruise. 4 Stars: Discovered this authentic Greek / Lebanese restaurant in an attached strip mall. Don't let the exterior fool you being in a strip mall, the inside environment is warm, with deep rich wood undertones and solid tables and bench seating. There a small open bar with 4 seats and multiple tables with bench seats in the next room. You know the place is authentic when you hear a Middle Eastern female singer with a Sitar singing through the speakers. We thought the place was more of a "to go / fast food" environment but we were pleasantly surprised it was not. Our host and server greeted us with a friendly smile and escorted us to our table. She made recommendations and had our food out efficiently. We were served cold water in a glass flask as we review the menu. There is a lot of items we wanted to try but our stomach aren't large enough. We settle on the following: Food: 4 - 4.5 Stars Appetizer: 4 Stars: Sambusk (beef and chicken) fried pastry. Think of these as mini empanadas or samosas stuffed with shredded beef and chicken. The pastry filling was hot and were decent. It was stuffed and you can taste a hint of the Lebanese / Greek seasoning. It was served with a side of tzatziki sauce. Entree: 4.25 Stars Lamb Gyro Pita 4.25 Stars w fries The Lunch sandwich Lamb Gyro was quite large to do the HOT and FLUFFY Pita Bread (so yummy!), the generous amount of lamb, the sliced lettuce, diced tomato's and onions. It had a decent amount of tzatziki sauce to bind all the ingredients together. I would have given a higher rating but I prefer my tzatziki sauce with a little bit more acidity; such as a lemon to squeeze on the gyro (my personal preference). The fries were hot and wonderful! It was sprinkled with the Greek seasoning and salt and was a perfect accompaniment to the Gyro. Okra And Lamb Stew 4.25 Stars. My wife enjoyed the stew which I was pleasantly surprised because she normally doesn't eat lamb to the "gaminess" of the meat. However the large cut okra and the Middle Eastern seasoning masked any of the "wild" taste of the lamb. It was served w a side Greek Salad and bowl of seasoned rice. NOTE: The cucumbers and tomatoes of the Greek Salad are cut in larger sizes than other places. They are not "diced" size. This is an authentic Greek Salad! Not covered in loose leaf, Romaine or iceberg lettuce. I read a 1 Star review from another person who said her Greek Salad was "awful" because the veggie sizes were too large for her mouth and it didn't have lettuce. The stew was savory and a little bit sweet due to some of the seasoning used. Ask for a side of Garlic sauce ( a mixed of crush garlic with yogurt - I believe) and a spicy sauce to offset the sweetness of the stew. I recommend a side of Pita to soak up the yummy gravy sauce if you have any room in your stomach. We did not select a dessert because we were bursting on the amount of food we were served. Compliments to the chefs in the kitchen and our server's recommendations. I definitely recommend this place for ambiance, the variety and authenticity of the food, pleasant and professional staff. NOTE: to self - on Friday - Professional Belly Dancers entertainment. Dinner and a show! Enjoy the pictures! read more

Rave reviews from everything we ordered! My parents said the gyros were super juicy and totally perfect. My Greek Salad was perfection as well. The dressing is amazing and just the right amounts. It is off season so parking was easy as well. Our carry out order was ready for pickup very quickly. The inside of the restaurant looks super cute and I hope to dine in! One small note, the link to website from Yelp sends to a wrong thing. read more

I rarely write reviews but felt the need to take the time in this case. We are from up north and travel often to the south. Good quality food seems is a bit more difficult to come by in Florida beach towns in general as most restaurants are hit or miss. @Pita Palace the food was delicious and clearly of high quality. This will be one of our new "GO TO's" when we are down here. One other thing to note is that we have a toddler who can be difficult at times when eating out but here the staff interacted with him in a positive way which help keep our son under control allowing us to enjoy our dinner. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! I really enjoyed the vegetarian combination, and we also ordered the shawarma sandwich along with a Tabbouleh salad -- which, by the way, was a huge portion. The service was great, the ambiance was warm and inviting, bathrooms were very clean. The place overall has a lot of character. Highly recommend read more

We ordered the Paradise sampler plate for starters just because we were all about to eat our hands after avoiding having the fried chicken sandwich AGAIN at the Kennedy center. Amazing homemade flavorful hummus with a somewhat unusual nutty ingredient that we argued about - was it peanuts or some other type of nut? - but it added another layer of dimension to plain old blended chickpeas". We loved the "mamagannouj" (even Serbian Baba, who was with us) and lentil soup. Kebabs were perfect too. I had gyro meat on a Greek salad and the texture of the meat was a little bit too soft for my preference but the flavor of the meat was outstanding. The best vote I can give you is that we took it home and left nothing for them to throw away. We will fry it up in a pan to dry it out a bit and mixed it with some eggs for breakfast tomorrow. The tzatziki sauce was also definitely handmade and had just the right proportion of herb and yogurt "tang". We are in the area on vacation and have access to lots of Mediterranean cuisine back home in the Chicago area, so we know what "good" tastes like. It's always a bit of a chance, but it paid off here. Everything we ate was fresh and prepared with care and arranged on the plate with a little bit of artistic intent. These are the best kind of discoveries - an unassuming location in a place you would not necessarily expect to find good Lebanese food - so the delight was that much greater! We sat at a table outside near the parking lot just because the weather was beautiful, but the interior was very quaint and clean and lovely, and definitely had the personal touch of a family owned business. Our waiter was a very personable young man and the unusual color of his eyes captivated my daughter - lol - but (and?) he took good care of us, and suggested a beer from Beirut when I asked for a recommendation. Pilsner is Pilsner for the most part, but it was pretty good and now I can't say I never had a beer from Lebanon before. Come eat here! read more

Service: The service here is top notch! Mohammad and Caleb are phenomenal and I'm sure you will be fully satisfied with their attentive and comforting approach to your dining experience. Food: I'm going to lay this out very clearly for you...I'm a Johnson and Wales culinary grad, I grew up near Dearborn Michigan...so I have a very in-depth knowledge of Arabic cuisine. I can say without a shadow of doubt that this restaurant is truly one of our hidden gems in Brevard County. Their food is seasoned and prepared to perfection! Appetizers: We got the spicy feta and cauliflower hummus. Both are dishes that our family routinely craves! Top to bottom they are delicious! Main: Branzino and Lamb Shank. Mind blowing dishes. I can't recommend these options enough. Please get them! The Branzino is light, crispy, seasoned well and paired with a wonderful tzatziki sauce and rice. The seasonings literally hit you in levels. It was a joy to eat. The lamb was rustic and hearty, juicy and tender! It literally fell off the bone and created the most amazing gravy to put over your rice. Dessert: Baklava...enough said! Sweet, chewy, flaky, perfect. This area needs more places like this...and if we don't call out and recognize the places that are providing us with wonderful options...we will end up like so many other places. Endless lines of big chain restaurants. That sounds boring and horrible. Support these people! They deserve it.... read more

The decoration inside is very unique, it was very very clean inside. Definitely need to dine in next time!:) read more

We ordered gyro sandwiches and the meat was old and cold and the pita bread was like they took it right from the package. I do not recommend eating here. I also noticed something on my water glass and asked for a clean glass. The waitress took my glass and grabbed another glass from another table and left the dirty glass on that table for someone else to use. ‍ I'm not sure why this restaurant has so many stars but it definitely needs to change to 1 and the health department needs to definitely go here and check all their meats and how they are preparing and serving them. read more
