the front of the restaurant
Nehal A.

Our to go weekly lunch, Pita Square has some quality shwarma chicken. The lunch combo combo in platter or pita, with one protein and two sides, cost about $14. The shwarma chicken is my favorite, its moist, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The rice and sides are also made well, that enhances the overall taste of the platter. The store is little messy but in general service is fast. Big benched are available for group sittings. Park is very hard to find bear the store due to being on busy street of Halsey in Newark.

Falafel Sandwich
Vanessa H.

5 stars for the falafel sandwich. Plenty of favlor, made fresh, 0 complaints. This is great for me bc I usually wait until I'm in Jersey City for a satisfying falafel fix so I just had to try this place when my friend recommended. I like the different hummus and salad toppings as more unique options that I don't usually see when I go to places like this. Street parking available.

We called to see if this place was still operating during this time and they were and informed us they were closing in 5 minutes. Luckily for us they were sweet enough to still take our order! Bless them for that. We were so hungry and craving Mediterranean food lol. The food was good and the meat was fresh. They also had excellent service at the counter. I will absolutely return to this place when in town again.

Pita Square Package for 12
Stefan H.

Ordered a Pita Square Package for 12 again! Certainly plenty to eat, and no shortage of rice! Falafel came in a bag this time, and salad looked a little sorry! Overall, food was still decent with plyto eat for 23 people. I'm sure I'll be ordering again! If you haven't been, check it out!

Love this joint! So, i don't know what's going on in the Halsey street area but this is like the third pita spot that has opened. This one is really good. Large portions for a low price. I got beef sharwma with a salad and babagonush with half a pita for $10. Not bad at all. Very flavorful and the people are super nice. There's not much seating so I got it to go but I've sat in there before with a friend with no issues. I've watched people try to get seats so don't get it twisted, it's definitely limited. Must try! Parking is ok in the area but if you work close, definitely worth the walk.

Ezcater for 6 people. Predone selection
Lyndsie L.

Ordered catering through ezcater. Great portion for 6people and flavorful. But didn't set anything up when food was delivered and bag itself was very oily to the point I had to wipe the whole table down and counter and wipe the food containers down. Very sloppy delivery but food itself was great.

Mixed small platter and hummus!
Will B.

Wow wow wow! Arrived to my hotel around 930 on a whim ordered the pita square mixed small platter and hummus... this place far exceeded my expectations. All the food was hot and perfectly cooked , it's also a massive portion. The hummus is absolutely fantastic. I will be staying in the area again just so I can order this while traveling. Well done pita square! I keep going back to my food I can't stop! I seriously think this is one of the best meals I've had delivered. Nothing fancy which makes it even more spectacular that it is this good. The sauces! They sent tzatziki, garlic sauce, tahini, and hot sauce all as good as I've ever had. Literally every piece of meat in my mixed platter was cooked to perfection you never get that late at night like this. Chicken is usually over cooked and dry but wow I think I'm gonna regret eating this much tomorrow but I can't stop.

4 Piece Falafel platter
Sharon A.

Great flavorful food that tastes good and doesn't leave you feeling that you ate something bad and oily. I always order their falafel platter over rice with baba ghanoush and Arab salad. Wash it down with lemonade and you got yourself a great lunch. So good I ordered it twice in a row last week!

Owner of Pita Square

It started off bad due to Yelp's incorrect hours, but fortunately the owner was across the street. He noticed I was frustrated, questioned why and explained that the hours on Yelp stated you do not close until 10, and it was only 8 pm. He explained that he had his IT correct the hours online, but Yelp did not update. He told me had another customer complaining about the hours, but he wasn't sure where they found them. He didn't realize it was Yelp that still had the wrong hours. They had cleaned up, and were ready to go home. He noticed the disappointment in my face, he invited me in and made a special dish after they had cleaned up. That's what you call service! Food was great and with lots of flavor. I will definitely be back..

Fresh Mint Lemonade
Sydne N.

Excellent!! Great staff, very helpful and nice. I love the sandwich with Shawarma Chicken. Large selection of side options and excellent spicy red sauce. Choose the sandwich over a platter, you get more bang for your buck. I recommend their fresh juices. I loved the mint lemonade!

The hummus was not a good consistency and tasted like mayonnaise. Falafel was very dry.

In search of some nostalgia, I decided to order off of Grubhub The Halal Guys from Newark…read more During those infamous college days, nothing quite hit like late night clubbing in NYC and visiting the Halal Guys on 53rd and 6th. The lines may have been long but putting an ungodly amount of white sauce on your platter (or chicken and rice, I'm not here to debate) pre-covid days was always a great time with friends. To see the business expand to multiple locations was a very proud moment and I had to try one out. I went for the Chicken Platter and the Gyro Platter to compare which one was better. One of the new things I ended up trying was adding jalapenos to the platter which was maybe a bit ambitious as well as going for extra white sauce which was a no-brainer. Just like how I remembered it, the portion sizes are very good and the proteins were very hearty. The jalapenos were a welcome addition but not a must. The pita bread was also very solid and not soggy for me. Dare I say it, the platters really didn't need the extra white sauce but they do provide a very fair amount as is. If I had to pick a winner, the Chicken Platter was my favorite. The Halal Guys will always be a favorite for me based on the quality of food and good memories. In my opinion, Halal Guys doesn't feel the same unless you are at that original stand on a late weekend night but the food nevertheless is still great.

This place is fine. Halal Guys is near the major offices in Newark and its priced like it. Not…read moresaying the food is bad; the food is actually pretty good. I just think its overpriced. The falafel is a decent deal, $6 for four of them. They did not impress though. No complaints about service, the people working here do a good job. I will go again if coworkers choose it but otherwise I likely will drift towards other options.
