Hospitality: the friendly, generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers, fostering a sense of comfort and belonging. That is exactly how we were treated when we went to Pita shawarma. We came in a few minutes after they closed ( we got wrong info) and they were gracious enough to take our orders and produce an amazing dinner. We had the Chicken Kebab plate and it was so good, authentic and made with great care. They love what they do and it shows in the way they treat their guest and the amazing food they make. This will be a place we return to again and again. Thank you for making lovely food and taking care of us after a very stressful day. read more

Pita Shawarma - Chicken Kabob Plate - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

Solid place for shawarma sandwiches! I ordered the beef shawarma sandwich, and there was a lot of meat and some vegetables, and it was delicious! Meat was tender and not dry, full of flavor and seasoning. I think it could've been even better if they had sauce to add to the sandwich. Server was very nice and attentive, and the place was quite spacious and empty. If you're ever in the near Plano area and craving shawarma, this is a great place! read more

Came with friends and left disappointed. The "tomato lentil soup" was just watery broth with no lentils or tomato. Sandwiches weren't fresh, and the beef shawarma was greasy, plain, and missing pickles. Won't be coming back. read more

Pita Shawarma - Lentil soup - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

Wow, omg the chicken Shwarma!! Chef's kiss!! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The wrap on the outside tasted like heaven as well. At first I thought about asking for extra sauce but I stopped myself. It would have overpowered the tasty chicken. For veggies there were some Lettuce and tomatoes, which adds a nice balance. Falafels were also some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. The nutty flavor were really shining through. For drinks I tried the Saffron tea which is something new and very comforting on a cold winter night. I would definitely be back! Wonderful Arabic music playing through through meal was a nice touch and the service was topped notch. read more

Came to try out this place upon reading the positive reviews on yelp and due to proximity of its location to a store we were visiting. The restaurant was beautifully designed inside and had a very traditional look. Upon arrival we were told we can pick any seat and have a seat so we picked a seat in the middle of the restaurant. The waiter came took our order and we asked for recommendations from her. Our waiter was friendly and kind. I ordered a lentil soup and a gyro sandwich. Unfortunately the lentil soup I had tried was delivered cold and did not match the appetizing pictures in the menu. Additionally the meat in the gyro sandwich did not taste very fresh. I also got baklava for dessert which was actually good. The waiter also brought us complimentary tea in really cute tea cups after which was nice. I am not sure if I will be back due to the main food quality however they do strive at providing good service which I appreciated. read more

Great authentic style shawarma. Simple yet delicious, and the Cole slaw that comes on the side with fries and picked vegetables are a great compliment. My only complaint - I have never received the extra sauce that I pay for when I order for pick up. Ambiance is basically a stepped up hole in the wall spot. Casual but great shawarma. read more

Our server welcomed us being it was our first time in. He was very accommodating, the food was delicious, and since we'd never had it before he highly recommended the Turkish coffee . It was delicious, as was their Pita bread read more

Here I am, 50, and only discovered Shawarma a couple of months ago while in Canada. Of course that's what I order. And. It. Was. Delicious. The server was super friendly. He's a friend of the family so whoever owns this little gem should give him a raise! I've been here many times. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we're moving to Canada so this place will be missed. read more

Pita Shawarma - The way to the bathrooms. Hope they have hand towels next time because I prefer not to use toilet paper to dry hands. - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

I'm so glad this opened up! I love mediterranean food. Met up here with a friend on a weekday to catch up and this spot was perfect. I like to try to eat healthy and the food is really flavorful here. I got the falafel wrap and my friend got the tabouleh salad. Really friendly service and it was pretty quiet. We were able to take our time and mind you we were there for quite a long lunch! The wraps are pretty big so I probably could have taken 1/2 of it home for a second meal. read more

I have honestly never paid much attention to this shopping center, though I live nearby and pass by frequently. A neighbor mentioned it, so my husband and I had a date night here last night before a movie. The food was fantastic. The beef Shwarma wrap was great and the beef shwarma plate was exactly what I was wanting. The flavors were perfect with nothing too overpowering (I'm not a fan when cinnamon or allspice overtakes the flavor of meat and I didn't get any of that strong flavor profile here). He said he mixes all his own spices to get just how he wants it. The beef was tender and lightly crispy. No grease or fat at all. Perfect silky hummus, fresh Greek salad and the pickled veggies were surprisingly good. Love the acidity to balance out the savory. Falafel was very good. I absolutely adored their Turkish coffee as I have really grown to love cardamom in my coffee. It was completely smooth with no bitterness and I drank it straight with no cream or sugar. Husband got a cortado and said it was very good. Perfect complement to the baklava. We ended on some of the hibiscus tea (karkadeh). So delightful! I'm a sucker for anything hibiscus. Beyond the food, the place is cute inside, comfortable and the customer service was incredible. Mahmoud was so very kind and so much pride taken in his food to ensure its fresh and flavorful. So happy to have found this hidden gem through word of mouth and can't wait to go back. The only thing I would suggest is for them to offer a dip sampler plate. I always love getting a little bit of everything vs. committing to one. I'm sure if I asked he would have done it for me, so next time I'll have to try more, along with the lentil soup. read more

This place made us so happy. The atmosphere is so quaint and well decorated and the food is the best we have had since we left the Middle East. The food is AWESOME. So healthy and tasty!!! The service was excellent!! We for sure are coming back!!! read more

Walked in randomly craving Mediterranean food on my way back from work and was pleasantly surprised. Pita Shawarma has a family restaurant vibe and the staff was very warm and gentle. Small touches like patiently waiting as I took my time to figure out what I wanted and holding open the handles of the to-go bag so it'd be easier for me to grab. But the best part was the food. I had the chicken shawarma plate and it was significantly more flavorful and fresh than anything I've had around town, whether it be chains or one-off stores. The hummus was so good too, and the price is about the same as competitors! Which is insane because it's easily twice as good if not more. Crazy! This will be my new place to go for Mediterranean food. I'll update this review as I try more menu items. read more

Incredible lunch & service. The owner served us and was incredibly hospitable. We will be back & I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Always fresh, good food, friendly staff. Don't hesitate to stop here and grab some food.

Excellent, flavorful, big portions and super filling. Reminds me of the street carts in New York City, and that's a good thing (I guess?) read more

I love the baklava, baba ghanouj, and everything else I've tried! Everything is fresh and delicious.

Having been to a few Mediterranean places in the area we decided to give this place a try since we were close to it. When we first walked in we noticed how homely the interior looked. It had the feeling of a mom and pop establishment and we felt like we were going to get some good food. I had high hopes especially given the number of good reviews I read about on Yelp. However after we ordered our food we quickly became disenchanted with the quality of the restaurant. Since we had a family size group we decided to order the family meal since we have great success with family meals at Mediterranean places in the past. I wasn't too hungry and thought I'd just eat pita and baba ganoush so that is what I ordered. My husband wanted something extra so he ordered the lamb kabob. First came the baba ganoush(not pictured) it was drowned in oil and the pita served with it was cold, not a good start. Next came the chicken shawarma platter, the best part of the platter was the fries, the wraps taste like frozen food that was reheated and they looked nothing like picture on the menu. The exterior of the wraps were almost grey in color and didn't have the typical light and crispy texture that they normally have at any decent Mediterranean place, and they were soggy and dripping in oil. Last came the puny kabob tucked into a piece of pita bread(not pictured), which was an odd and unappetizing way to plate food. In addition, kabob was chewy and lacked decent flavor. My kids were hungry so they ate the greasy food all the while raving about the place we went to in Richardson the week prior. To make matters worse the service was sloppy. The poor guy who was very friendly and kind, had to work the register, run the food from the kitchen and wait the tables. He often forgot the things we requested and needed such as utensils. Also be prepared to purchase water since the water isn't filtered and has an off taste. I must say we will not return to this place ever. read more

Pita Shawarma - Disgusting Chicken Shawarma Family (3 people) - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

Every time I come to Pita Shawarma I always have a good experience. The staff is very welcoming, especially the owner, he's very friendly and goes above and beyond. There are many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern style spots around but for a true, authentic shawarma this is the place. Their shawarma is flavorful, juicy, and not skinny like other shawarmas. The hummus, salads, and meats are all very fresh. Everything including the fries is seasoned well but not in an overpowering way, and the sauces (hot sauce, garlic, tahini) all complement the shawarma very nicely. Both the shawarmas and plates are well worth their price in terms of quality and quantity of food. And they also have some legit espresso, teas, and other bakery items to satisfy your sweet tooth. This place has become a regular spot for me. read more

My husband ordered Pita Shawarma for take out, and the food was delicious! I had the beef shawarma rice plate. It came with a side of hummus and a fresh cut salad. The portions were generous. He noted how friendly the man at the counter was! read more

Great customer service and food was incredible. Definitely recommend the Turkish Coffee.

The food was amazing! Service was friendly and inviting! Will absolutely be going back!

I just ordered on Uber Eats. Today's white sauce was barely enough for one shawarma. As a weekly customer. I was very disappointed especially having asked for enough white sauce. By the time uber driver arrived the sauce had leaked in the plastic bag. They have great food, but I shall not be ordering again via delivery. As a loyal customer I feel disrespected. read more

I had an interesting experience at this spot. First off, I somehow ended up in the bathroom in the dark--couldn't figure out the lights. Could have very well been a skill issue on my part, but it added a little unintentional adventure to the visit. Our waitress seemed a bit frazzled, but she was sweet and did her best to accommodate us. We ordered hibiscus tea, but after putting the order, they apparently ran out. They subbed it with something else, with the condition that if we didn't like it, they'd take it off the check. That was a nice gesture, especially considering we were a larger party during lunchtime. When we arrived, it was pretty empty, with only 3-4 other tables occupied. The food itself was good and flavorful. I had the lamb kabob plate and a gyro, and both were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. However, I'd suggest being cautious with the pickled items--they were quite sour for my taste. The yogurt drink was also quite sour but felt really healthy when I was drinking it Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and despite a few hiccups, I left satisfied. Worth a visit! read more

Pita Shawarma - Yogurt Drink - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

This unassuming spot is tucked away in a strip mall next to Tom Thumb. The space small and the tables are open, so not ideal for intimate conversation. But the friendly staff and decor make the ambiance cozy. We were a little intimidated by the authentic menu but our server was kind and patient to explain everything to us. We enjoyed the chicken shawarma Arabic style with pickled vegetables and slaw and the gyro sandwich. The falafel was fresh and flavorful. On our first visit, we were treated to complimentary cashew baklava - which is only had with pistachios. Just a bit of honey made it a slightly sweet ending to our meal. We've gone back twice now and will definitely be including it in our regular rotation of locally-owned restaurants. read more

I got the Chicken Shawarma combo and calling it delicious would be an understatement. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, and the decor was gorgeous!

Pita Shawarma - Gorgeous restaurant, bench seats very comfy. Come give this small business some support!! - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

absolutely unprofessional and disrespectful staff. We came in at 9:35 and first thing she said is "you have 10 minutes to order" we felt bad so we ordered right away and she put our food in to go boxes without asking us. we had ordered three drinks and she handed us the bag without the drinks. So once we asked her for the drinks she proceeded to tell us "i need you guys to leave" it was 9:48. we were finishing the food up fast at 10:05 and she once again came and said she's been waiting 10 minutes for us to leave. we were very understanding and professional until then. It is very unfortunate that it was our first time here and it left a very bitter taste in ur mouth. won't be returning read more

First: the ambiance. So I messed up and only orders fries via Uber eats pick up. So the guy at the counter was nice enough to take my order and explain my mistake . Despite my mess-up, the food came out in a timely manner! I also got the peach barbican and it was so good! When I came home and finally tasted the food, I can conclude that this is one of the best fries I've had in my life. It was crisp and perfectly seasoned. The falafel tasted very fresh! However, I will request to have the sauce on the side next time since it was too wet by the time I got to eat if. I will definitely be back! read more

I ordered lamb kabob. Quality of meat and flavor was so good. Overall, I prefer real silver wears for eat in, not plastic ones. read more

Pita Shawarma - Lamb kabob plate. Yummy! - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

Very good Schwarma, try the tea also, delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the combo.

"This will be the best shawarma you've ever had!" I enjoyed the enthusiasm from presumably the owner after he took our order and we sat down. While it wasn't bad, it certainly didn't come close to Sara's in Richardson. The chicken was a bit dry honestly and no amount of sauce could cover that up. It did make it quite greasy though and unpleasant to sit with. I wouldn't order the beef plate again. The meat was also quite dry. I also wasn't a fan of the salas or neon veggie mix. They season the meat and rice extremely well though. Unfortunately that meant most of my bites had whole pieces of coriander, clove, and mace that were quite potent and could probably chip a tooth. I'm sure this spot will become quite popular with student and people in the area. The ownership is also very proud and the service is great. Overall though, there are better spots around town. I would come back here if I was in the area though. read more

Pita Shawarma - Beef Kabob Plate & Chicken Kabob Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Plano, Texas

Excellent chicken shawarma, indoor seating & really kind server. The outa and hummus was delish too!! Highly recommend giving this small establishment a try. read more

Ample parking, plenty of seating, and very nice man running the place. The food was very good and I would have been happy just eating the salad and pickled veggies. Lots of cucumbers and tomatoes with romaine tossed in a light vinaigrette with feta cheese. The gyro plate was good but very different than any other gyro I've had. This meat was not shaved off like typical but seemed to be formed into thin long strips and then grilled? The rice was beautifully seasoned and delicious. I also ordered the falafels (unfortunately could t just purchase one or two so had to get the entire order of six). They were fresh and crispy with a great garlic sauce to dip in. I also enjoyed them with the tzatziki sauce. My only complaint was the pita bread. It was very dry and a bit hard. Definitely not up to par with the rest of the food. Overall good visit and I would come back. read more

Hello everyone. Since I come from the Caucasus, we have a sufficiently developed shawarma. Hoping to try delicious shawarma in the USA, I was surprised how not tasty it was.
