IMHO My hubby and I wanted to check out the shopping village located just above the Residence Inn, where we were staying. Monkeypod is there, a new sushi place (highly recommended by a patron), pharmacy, jewelry store, etc., and Pita Paradiso! We stood outside checking out the menu, even though we had just eaten elsewhere, and realized it was only 15 minutes before happy hour! We were kindly invited to step in early to sit at the bar and order happy hour cocktails! We chose the Wailea Sunrise and the Makena Sunset cocktails, both only $9 each! Both were refreshing and tasty! Thank you, Justina for your recommendations! I checked in on Yelp and saw that we could redeem a free appetizer! Having just eaten lunch, we opted to save it for later use. I am sorry that we never made it back to redeem it, but I'm sure we'll eventually get back there again one day.
When I first saw the name I assumed it was more of a casual dining maybe fast food place, but when we walked in, it was really nice. The wine was great. The service was friendly and attentive. The food!!! The food was GREAT! We had the ahi tartar, meatballs, and lamb gnocchi. Everything tasted great! We sat and chatted for a while and never felt rushed. I'm pretty sure they were getting ready to close and even then, they never made us feel like we needed to hurry up. I will definitely come back here when I come back to Maui.
I recently had dinner here and enjoyed my food but the service was just so-so. It started with the hostess when I asked if I could sit on the outside patio. She was a bit annoyed I asked but she did sit me out there. My waiter was not the friendliest and was not very attentive. But I enjoyed my food and that was more important to me. I was by myself, reading my book, so I did not need a lot of attention. I had their Maui Mule as my drink. It was very flavorful and they use a local ginger beer which is nice. For my entree, I had chicken and lamb kabobs: served with sautéed veggies, rice pilaf, Tzatziki, pita. Everything was very tasty. The lamb and chicken were tender and flavorful. Always love pita and Tzatziki.
This is a long term family owned Mediterranean restaurant that's in a shopping mall in Wailea. It's a cesnncasual restaurant with a full bar. Yesterday I had the village salad with a skewer of lamb my partner had the lamb burger, which was I thought really a good a tasty filling meal they had roast potatoes on it. The roast potatoes look so good. I ordered a side for myself. she had hibiscus cocktail and overall I really enjoyed the visit although the tables are close together and I listen to some guy making a sales presentation and it sounded like an infomercial which is a little annoying, but that's what people do at restaurants. The server has been there for years and she handled our visit very well overall I enjoy the place and would definitely go back. I'm going to post some new pictures of yesterday's visits and they look a lot like the last set of pictures I posted.
My family got plenty of dishes when we last ate, but I got the bolognese! Super hearty and filling - perfect atmosphere for a gathering of loved ones or a date. Staff was also super nice and loved to chat! - Miguel Morales Photography
Delicious family-owned small restaurant in Wailea just up the street from the village (walkable, especially convenient if you're staying at the AC or Residence Inn). The outdoor seating area is so beautiful and cozy, and the food is all farm to table (so so fresh)! Our waitress, Cori, was so helpful and friendly and even surprised us with a fully vegan menu (very hard to find in this area), though she also worked with us veganize an item from the regular menu that was calling our name. Highly recommend!!
This is one of my favorite spots to go to whenever I am in Maui. They're great for both lunch and dinner, but I LOVE going for dinner just to have their eggplant arrabiata pasta which is a must try in my opinion. If you have room for dessert, try their backlava ice cream cake! Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10
This is a favorite place for us. A chance to have Greek Food. . The owner fishes for this restaurant and the fish of the day is his catch. So I chose the seared Ahi Tuna with grilled green beans and rice. Good, but it came grilled and Small. You could hide it with a credit card. So not next time. This was a first. I was splurging. The free hummus from Yelp was delicious and the Chicken Parm had a wonderful sauce and was moist. Our server Channel was a delight and the best smile. Great place to come.
Great place to dine in Wailea close to the hotels. Mica was ready with our food when I arrived. We ordered the fresh catch, shutcome(swordfish) with fingerling potatoes and bok choy. Delicious flavors in every way. Fish was nicely seasoned and not over cooked. We also had the Greek salad which I loved! I wanted to order the tiramisu but decided my waistline didn't need it. Haha! Great ambiance, people are friendly and, timely service. Also, take out super simple and convenient. They make sure to include pita bread with each order and I believe it is made daily. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Happy eating!
I was looking for a place for dinner in wailea when we were staying at the andaz Maui and found this place on Yelp. We didn't have reservations but I called ahead to see is there was a wait but they said no. When we got there, we got to sit immediately. We chose a booth since we had our son but the one junk thing was the seat was a bit uncomfortable. It seemed to be pretty old so it was all torn up in some areas that my son didn't even want to sit down in those areas. We decided to try their ziziki bread, appetizer platter, and lamb gnocchi. We were planning to get dessert right after so we didn't want to stuff ourselves. The food came out fairly quick but our food was actually almost delivered to the next table by us but they realized that it was supposed to go to us. Everything tasted really good! My son loved the ziziki bread and there was a good assortment of items on the appetizer platter and the lamb gnocchi was cooked perfectly. Service was a little slow and we had to ask to order and get our check. The place wasn't too busy either. It looked like they had a little outdoor seating too which would probably be nice later at night but we went when the sun was still going down.
Parking lot -large but very crowded with all the other restaurants and businesses. Had to circle a few times to get a spot at 6 pm. Service- friendly, helpful, attentive. Checked on Yippeeeee! And the food, refilled the water. Ambiance - Good Friday night dinner vibe. Not too loud, crowded but cozy, everyone eating and talking and having a nice time. Food - outstanding. I love Greek Mediterranean food but when you mix it with Italian and come up with concepts like Ziziki read, that is flavorful, delicious and whimsical. The lamb salad Is large and has a large portion of lamb, Seasoned nicely. The salad was very good. Definitely would order again. The platter of the gods was outstanding. I want to order his again. I wish there was meal and place like this in San Diego. Large and tasty platter with several different foods including moussaka. Expensive it worth it. Definitely a place to try if you are in the Kihei area and want to try Greek Italian Mediterranean food.
Let's review the dessert first: Baklava ice cream cake. OUTSTANDING. What a great combination of flavors. Ship some back to the mainland. It's that good. We started with mango iced tea. Flavorful but not overbearing and not pulpy. The kebobs were my choice. Grilled to temp and nicely seasoned with Mediterranean spices. The soft pita and sides were great accompaniments. My wife chose the Greek God's platter. A full plate of spinach tiropita, a half gyro, moussaka and a delicious tatziki. Wonderfully spiced and presented. It was a complete meal. Our server was efficient and friendly and kept our glasses full. Light live music played in the corner. Nice. This restaurant stands out among the many excellent choices in Maui. We very much enjoyed our visit.

We had a wonderful dinner at Pita Paradise and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a healthy, flavorful meal on the island. My husband ordered the fresh catch of the day (Mahi Mahi) and thought it was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right -- flavorful without being overpowering. My dad had the chicken Caesar salad, which he found refreshing, with crisp greens, tender chicken, and a nice balance of dressing and parmesan. My mom chose the chicken kabob plate, a hearty dish with tender chicken skewers, rice, grilled vegetables, pita, and tzatziki -- filling and well-seasoned. I had the American Greek Salad, loaded with fresh vegetables, feta, and pita on the side. It was light, fresh, and satisfying. We shared the baklava ice cream cake for dessert -- a real highlight. The layers of baklava with creamy vanilla ice cream were absolutely delicious, and the drizzle of syrup tied it all together. We especially loved the vanilla ice cream paired with the crunch of the baklava. The mango iced tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. We also brought our own bottle of wine (2019 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon), and the corkage fee of $30 was well worth it to enjoy with our meal. Our server, Justina, was kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere -- relaxed yet with an elevated feel that makes it great for both family dinners and special evenings out. Pita Paradise delivers on fresh, well-seasoned Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a Hawaiian touch. Healthy options, great service, and a warm ambiance made this one of our favorite meals on Maui. Highly recommend, especially for the baklava ice cream cake! read more

Nice Mediterranean option in Wailea! Had the veggie delight platter which is an assortment of vegetarian appetizers including spicy falafel, hummus, veggies, salad and pita. It's a well rounded variety. Also had the baklava cake for dessert. Everything was good! Server was friendly and attentive (but not overly so). They had live music which was a pleasant surprise. It's a nice family atmosphere. read more
Came for lunch with girlfriends. It's pleasant seating outside... even though it's by the parking lot, they have plenty plants to cover the area... Service was great, food was great. Ample parking space. I had the gyro salad. Loved it! Lamb was so tender and tasty. Salad was fresh. Everything is always good here. Highly recommend! read more

This place has really changed. Unfortunately, not for the better. Our server was only a year into employment here and was a bit uncertain of how to take care of the customers. My Bombay martini came out unlike what I expected. Not for the better. They remade it which was nice. The calamari steak was good but the sauce was broken. Still okay to eat, but not optimal. The bolognese was good My wife had the chicken Alfredo and said it was good. Desert was average. read more

What a nice surprise to accidentally find this place. We were headed to another restaurant in the same plaza but decided to eat here instead. When you search for restaurants in the area on Yelp this place doesn't come up which is sad cause it's really a great place to eat. The food is amazing here. Everything is fresh and flavorful. We actually ate here twice and enjoyed our food both times. Our waitress Cori was very friendly, she served us on both visits. She made our dining experience even better. I highly recommend this place , you will love it. read more

Enjoyed a great experience eating & drinking good cocktails. Justina, rocks! Very nice host, helpful with menu suggestions. Justina, pours a good drink, and was delightful. I enjoyed the lamb salad & tuna tartare as my appetizer. Very relaxing atmosphere with hill vibe. This is my place to go when I'm in town David read more
This place is walking distance from our hotel but we still drove here. The hostess and server were very young and polite. The ambience was very Mediterranean and we chose to sit inside for the cool AC. The server honored the Yelp! coupon for free pita and hummus which made it taste even better. Everything tasted amazing. I manhandled my gyro and my wife and son devoured the chicken kabob. Definitely consider this place if you want a healthier dinner option read more
Great meal! We checked in on yelp to get the free zitziki bread which was great and it was happy hour so we also got the spinach tiropitas. They were both amazing and we could've both eaten more of the spinach tiropitas, which were flaky and full of flavor. I had the pesto vegetable gnocchi which was so good. The pesto was creamy and rich. My husband had the fish special which was ono, mashed potatoes, and green beans with a tomato sauce for $42. We finished with the baklava ice cream pie which was one of the best desserts we have ever had. A must stop spot when visiting wailea. They have a great menu and a happy hour and the service was great. Everything was delicious. read more

What can I say... Pita Paradise exceeded my expectations! This family owned business is a gem and it deserves all the praise. From the food, the service, to the staff -- such a great experience for my first time here. I ordered the lamb and fish kabob combo, both items were so moist and flavorful. It also came with rice pilaf and pita bead, which both were so delicious. Especially the pita bread, the seasoning and crispness of it were *chefs kisses*. Now on to the night cap, the dessert. THE DESSERT. Baklava Ice Cream Cake!!! Baklava in between creamy vanilla bean ice cream, what a dream! Pita paradise is such a gem to Maui! Highly recommend adding this place to the list of restaurants you need to try on Maui. read more
Wow just absolutely amazing food. Got the chicken pesto pizza. Lots of grilled chicken. Tomatoes and feta cheese with the pesto sauce. I dipped mine in the tzatziki dip. Can't wait to come back. Cut into perfectly small slices which make it easy to pick up and eat read more

We come here for lunch often. It's close to the beach we like so it's very convenient. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. We have tried so many things on the menu and have not been disappointed. When we come we enjoy sitting outside because sometimes it gets a little too chilly inside. There is a check in free appetizer with the purchase of 2 entrees. read more

Do we need to reserve a table in advance?
I would as I believe there is still reduced capacity. Suggest eating on the outside patio for a quiet meal with nice ambiance. You can reserve on the Open Table app.
So you allow ordering of the lunch pitas at dinner?
We do not offer our lunch menu for dinner for dine in. We do however offer our lunch menu for take out during dinner for a limited time.
