Finally, I brought my whole family here for dessert. We got honey cake, Napoleon cake and chocolate cake slices. Everyone enjoyed those so much! My husband got a late and said it was smooth and creamy, it was also very appealing! The owner and the staff are very very kind and patient. We will be back! read more

I've been for lunch twice in the past 2 weeks and have had great food both times! Love the falafel - super crunchy and flavorful - and the burekas. People I've been with have really enjoyed their gyro and chicken as well, but I don't eat meat so I can't speak to it personally. Staff are very friendly and offer their recommendations off the menu. It's pretty small on the inside, so I wouldn't plan to dine-in with a group any larger than 6. Can't wait to come back and try desserts & a coffee! read more

Carry out order - Great falafel sandwich served on pita. $0.99 each add on for tahini and hot sauce were well worth it! All fresh ingredients. Had to wait a couple minutes past scheduled time but not a big deal. Friendly service, Simple decor with tables and chairs. Recommended! read more

Super, fabulous food! New menu. More seating, new dining tables and chairs, lots of room for lunch and dinner groups. Love this place for the last 25 yrs read more

Had Ukrainian meatballs ! They look like mini meatloaves and are made with chicken and some made with beef & pork. Amazing flavor and texture! Had both and enjoyed them very much!! Had them with oven brown potatoes & salad! I think I may be part Ukrainian read more

Food was SO SO good and a great price! They have been around for a long time and it's because the food that's for sure. Will be going back!

We had a Birthday catered for ten people. the quality and taste of everything was excellent. We had a relaxing and enjoyable dinner thanks to Pita Plus. read more

The owner is very pushy trying to sell products that are too stale to save. It's ashame because the falafels are great! I will not recommend them because of the arrogance. I told him no thanks, i don't like cheese. He persisted like he didn't care. It was late in the day and most likely was going to have to throw whatever it was he was pushing, away. read more

Delicious food!! We ordered meat, grilled veggies, and cake for a birthday and everything was well made and very delicious. We will be back!

This place was a delightful find! I didn't love getting my food on styrofoam plates, and the ambiance was what you'd expect in an outdated strip mall, the food nore than made up for it! The tuna salad pita sandwich, the falafel platter, and the beef pita sandwich were all great, according to our party members. My falafal was perfectly seasoned and fried, and they were not even a bit too oily. We also got a large, tasty piece of baklava for $5, which we cut and split among the three of us. I would recommend a stop at Pita Plus, if you're anywhere nearby! read more

Great people and nice service! Nice authentic dishes and family owned. Cool local cultural eatery.

Simple real food, carryout (recommended) since dine-in a little awkward. Excellent pitas ...

Amazing food, and great service! Highly recommend the falafel plate. The desserts are also delicious.

Very good food and reasonable prices. Nice couple runs it - go see them! Great lunch spot!

I love Pita Plus for an enjoyable lunch. It's small, and everyone is friendly, but the food is amazing. Try the baklava.

Unexpectedly found myself in the area around lunch time and decided to stop by. Prices were reasonable, large portion sizes of protein. My wife and I both had a gyro and they were very good about our customizations (one no onions, one extra lettuce). I would definitely come here again. read more

Great food. Great service. Great prices. What else do you need?? Our go-to for a great gyro sandwich during the work week.

If you're in the Chesterfield/Creve Coeur area, you have to try Pita Plus. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Even though we walked in less than 15 minutes before closing, he still gave us the option to dine in or take it to go. He recommended the falafel platter and said it was a popular favorite. So we decided to give it a try. The falafel here is one of the best i have had in St. Louis. It is made fresh packed with a lot of flavor, crunchiness and tastes delicious. In addition to the falafel plate (with hummus and salad) we ordered a classic gyro. The pita bread is made fresh and hot which is a plus. They have a plethora of sauces in the refrigerator that you can ask for at request including tzatziki and hot chili sauce. Portions are moderate. They also have some homemade desserts. The food is made to order and hot. There is a small seating area if you want to dine in or you can take it to go. Perfect for lunch or dinner. We will definitely come back. read more

Went at 4:45 pm- closed. Said open till 6:00 pm. Disappointing to say the least, no posted sign on the door noting a different time.

Good hummus and falafel. Nice owners, a little bit of a communication gap though making it challenging to order.

This business has been around forever and they are still here. The dining room is small but adequate. I usually carry-out. I am obsessed with their falafel platter. Homemade pita topped with hummus and their hot sauce... Delicious!! I need to find out who make this hot sauce! It's makes the falafel sing! read more

Finally tried this place for the first time. Got the falafel platter. It came with 5 pieces of falafel, tomato salad, pita, hummus, tahini sauce and a pickle. All I can say is WOW! Falafel was the best I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and crispy. The salad was fresh and the pita and hummus were the perfect addition. Service was very friendly. Will definitely be back. Delicious! read more

Pita Plus - Forgot to take a pic before I dug in. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This small, casual spot offers fast Mediterranean food cooked to order. I had the falafel platter which came with five small falafels, no more than two tablespoons of hummus spread out to look like more than it was, a pickle spear, a very small side of vegetable salad, and one wheat pita bread- for $10. The falafel was slightly spicy, the hummus was good, and the spinach and chicken burrekas were delicious! Unfortunately, the amount of food for the price is disappointing. The total bill (with some chips added) came to just under $20 and I left wishing I had more hummus and side salad. Essentially the platter was appetizer portions, if that. Also, when I go for Mediterranean food I look for a plate with hummus, tabbouleh, and baba ghanoush- a bit of everything but Pita Plus does not offer any such platter and all has to be ordered separately. Current prices will keep me at bay, as will their environmentally-unfriendly use of styrofoam plates and cups and plastic eating utensils. If small portions at moderate prices are not a concern for you, then check it out, the food was tasty. read more

Pita Plus - Falafel platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This place gets 5 stars because it consistenly delivers one of the most delicious and satisfying food experiences I've ever had. I only ever get one thing here. Everything else is probably great, but once you find perfection, there's no reason to stray. Step 1: Order the gyro sandwich. It's just a pita pocket (white or wheat) stuffed with quality gyro meat, fresh cucumber, red onion, and a tomato slice. Cost is around $6.50. Wait time is about 3 minutes. Step 2: From the small freezer, get a container of the tzatziki (white) sauce and the hot (red) sauce. These are both made fresh by the restaurant. YOU MUST GET BOTH OF THESE SAUCES FOR THE PROPER EXPERIENCE. DO NOT DISOBEY ME. I AM F*CKING SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. Step 3: Apply the tzatziki and the hot sauce to the top of your sandwich. The hot sauce is quite spicy so go easy on it at first. Use a pita chip (comes with the sandwich) to blend the sauces together and spread them on the meat. Step 4: Take your first bite. Close your eyes and listen to the angels sing as you chew. Don't forget to breathe. Step 5: Try to compose yourself and enjoy the rest of your gyro sandwich, re-applying both sauces as necessary. Appreciate the wonderful compact shape of the sandwich which makes it easy to eat without getting your hands dirty or having stuff fall out. Step 6: Once you're finished call an old friend and tell them how much you appreciate them. I eat about one of these a week and the magic has not worn off. I doubt it ever will. Side notes: The hummus and falafel are great here, and you can get sides of both. The owner is cool and has tons of personality. RFT & Sauce is available to read. They also sell pre-made hummus and other middle eastern stuff. Also, do NOT be seduced by the gyro platter. If you get this, you have to build the sandwich yourself and it is a big pain in the ass. Order the sandwich and let them make it. They do it right. read more

Pita Plus - Gyro sandwich. Pure bliss. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Here we go again with STL having gem restaurants in random strip malls. My dad took me here for a falafel. It was insane. The pita was so fresh. The falafels were hot off the grill. It had all the fixings like lettuce and tomato. On the table were a couple of different homemade sauces you could use to add to the pita. I ordered hummus to go and it was soooo creamy! I could have also ordered another pita, but I held back. This place is delicious and the owner was cool, quiet, and definitely a master at his pitas. Enjoy! read more

Pita Plus, I believe this places opens at 10 am and he is even open on Holidays. The owner doesn't really take breaks or close that much. Now let got to the food, we spend at less 50 everytime we come here because we rack up on thr food. This place and other place up the street is the reason I keep coming back to St Louis, lol. But the food is to die for and one of a kind. The food here you can only find it here, we have tried looking other places. Everything is freshly made that morning and he sales stuff frozen to take with you but bring a cooler with you for that. read more

If there is one thing I keep on trying and constantly dislike or rather find bland in most places is falafel. I think there is a very thin line between cooking a falafel totally tasteless and flavorful and these guys have got it right. I have moved out of St.Louis a few years ago and I remember Pita Plus very often even now, especially their flavorful falafel and red and white sauces. That red sauce literally makes me drool. Such is my love to you guys. The owner is a very witty and friendly guy. Only downside of this place is that it was very hard for me to find this place open as they close pretty early. read more

Perfect for a quick meal! We went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch and the place was full of customers. A small eatery serving tasty Mediterranean food! One chicken and regular gyro with a side of falafel, please! The falafel was different than most we have tried around the city. Crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Best of all, it was extremely flavorful. Falafel is becoming the a fried food I eat, and I dont even like fried foods! The gyros, however, were okay. Price and size were great for a quick meal but the actual flavors in the gyro meats were not the best.Topping with the tazhiki, tahini, or chili sauce really enhanced the taste! The best part about the whole experience is being able to purchase the hummus, tabouli, and sauces for use at home. I went back a few days later for the hummus. Great texture, subtle, and light! Try it out if for a meal, snack, or take home some condiments! read more

Feel totally ripped off. Ordered what. I thought would be a Greek salad with Tandoori chicken. $14 later I received a salad that had little more lettuce than a hamburger garnish, with a few tomatoes and cucumbers. The 4 pieces of chicken resembled the frozen Tyson chicken we used to give our toddlers in their high chairs 20 years ago, tasted like it was from that time period. One and done, will not be back. read more

Dear Friends, we are all aware that there are certain things you don't eat for lunch on Friday afternoons with your coworkers..for those of you who aren't aware of this rule..welcome to my review of Pita +. Falafel is at the very top of the "don't eat for lunch on a Friday" list. Placement on this list is simple, as there is only one criteria that must be met, but only few foods are worth it. Falafel is essentially, the universal fooch killer. You might think you are eating Falafel at 11:45 on a Friday afternoon and it will all be over with by the time you get back to your cube and Facebook, but beware my single and youthful friends, for you will be harboring that Falafel for the rest of the night, and even as I had recently experienced into Saturday morning. Your friends, namely friends with benefits, will also be dealing with a mega dose of Falafel Fooch Fallout long after the seasoned chickpeas, tzaziki, and hot sauce places you into a welcoming Friday coma. They'll smell your lunch from a mile, an inch or a day or two away. It's kind of like choosing to drink Gin or Vodka on a school night. Always go with Vodka right? While my Friday work lunch votes always swing away from super fooch busters, I am known to make exceptions for Pita + Falafel. Yes indeed, Pita + has THE BEST Falafel in the Saint Louis area, hands down. Boyfriends, crippled pheromones, and potential hook ups be damned! Sometimes, you just gotta go for what makes you happy, and there is little else that five balls of quality Falafel can't make up for when it comes to weekend preparations. Unless, of course, you're like my boss, who, faced with last week's Friday Falafel dilemma, offered this fundamental axiom, "I'm married, I don't give a shit." Bottom Line: Go to Pita +. Look for Lady Gyro (see pic) near the register, say no when the owner asks you for the 10th time if you're paying for your entire group, get your own white and red sauce bottles, sit down, stuff your face, and enjoy! read more

When I'm craving some traditional cultural food, I do need to drive away from the Burbs of West County. So all the more, I was thrilled find this little authentic joint in Creve Coeur. I swung by Pita+ for lunch and I shared their Falafel platter and Gyro platter with another friend. The Gyro platter was good, but not spectacular. I do like my gyro meat a bit more spiced up and greasy, but it was still good. Now the Falafel platter is worth raving about. Here's a quick 101 on a good falafel sandwich: A good falafel should have crispy shells and tender interiors, not too dry, with a good internal balance of chickpea, parsley. The pita should be chewy and fresh-tasting. And the sauce and toppings should add to the total package. Pita+'s falafel sandwich met all these criteria and went above and beyond! The portion was generous (5 falafels) and the price was right ($7.25) The platter provided fresh & delicious tomato/cucumber salad and adding a side of hummus was an excellent touch! Pita+ is definitely worth checking out and it's become my favorite falafel joint in STL. Here's their menu: http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/profile_photos/457715?photo_id=106430 read more

Pita Plus - Gyro & Falafel Platters - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I ordered a tandoori chicken pita and babaganoush. The chicken pota was more like fried Buffalo chicken and I got a pita filled with Baba ghanoush instead of a side of Baba ganoish. The food really lacked that Middle Eastern flair in spice flavours. There are too many other restaurants that offer more authentic food, so I will not be returning. read more

I got to eat a late lunch at Pita Plus today. I have been eating here for at least 23 years that I can remember. It's the best falafel and bourekas in St. Louis. It's always fresh and delicious. The cheese boureka is my favorite. The dough is flaky and the cheese is buttery and creamy. I don't get there very often because of the location but if you enjoy falafel and fresh pita go there now. The hummus and pita chips are also delicious. Best skhug (hot sauce) in St. Louis too! You really can't go wrong with anything here! read more

I was really excited to go here after reading such rave reviews about Pita Plus, but once I got there the hype was quickly over. Let me give you some background info: Pita Plus closes at 6pm. I arrived at 5:40. The owner's wife i assume stared at me and took everyone else's order as i stood right in front of her at the counter and then she went to the back to prepare their food. Now one customer is like I need another sandwich or something and he's like no its too late we're about to close. So i'm standing here thinking what the beep beep....He looks at me and goes, "have ordered already?" I go no!! She never took my order. So then he tells the other guy well since i have to make her gyro I can go ahead and make yours too. I walked out heavily pissed because i've never just been ignored before. There food is good, but not that good that they need to be ignoring customers, because we are in a recession. My pita was tasty, but I don't know if I can go back. I would recommend it if you like great pitas and love being ignored. The pita bread is top knotch but I haven't been to any other places down here so I don't have anything to compare it to. Great food....horrible service!!!!! Those 3 stars are for the pita! read more

Pita Plus - grilled chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

After all the kick-butt reviews of this place, I just had to give them a try. It's in a strip mall off of Olive. The place is very small on the inside. The bulk of their space is behind closed doors. Which made me realize, they must make most of their items on site. I assume it was the owner who greeted us. He was a small, older, foreign man. His english wasn't all that great but he could get along just fine. He was very welcoming, and proud of his dishes. After I asked him about the size of the gyros, he assured me that one was more than enough to fill me up. He then called to the only other table in the place and asked them aloud how their food was. They were enjoying gyros too... and commented that they drove from Brentwood to eat here. I tried the Chicken Tandoori and a Gyro. The meat in both were very good. Seasoned well... and not dry. They gyro meat seemed fresh. Not the kind spinning on a stick all day. It was juicy, and had some substance to it. Both sandwiches were stuffed inside a pita pocket. Somebody must have taken some time not to break the pita open, the whole in the pocket was small but the sandwich was bursting with ingredients. The pita itself wasn't that great. Something that I could get in a store. Not doughy, or fresh enough for me. The sauces available for your sandwiches are in a stand up cooler. You have to know to grab them from there. Both the tzaziki and hot sauce were good and fresh. Packed with flavor. The place is nice, the food is good, not great. The service is welcoming, and the prices are ok. I would return, but only if I'm in the area. I still like Soulard Gyro better. read more

Best gyro in town on fresh pita with fresh vegetables. Falafel are delicious too. Make sure to use their homemade hot sauce! Adore the baba ghanoush and the eggplant/tomato dip. Their pita chips are the best out there. Love the burekas too. Potato burkekas are a favorite. Quick service, delicious food. read more
