Wife's so to place. She likes the Kibby plate. I like the Beef Kabob, or Grilled Amberjack. Wish I had their rice recipe, love their rice. Salad dressing isn't bad either. Moe, at the south side location is always friendly and efficient. Food there is always consistent and flavorful. read more

Pita Stop - My favorite- Beef kabob- yumm!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I'm on a quest to try every Mediterranean restaurant in the city and order the same dish. Today's visit was to The Pita Stop on Southside. Upon arrival, the worker showed me to my table. I had the place to my self on this day. My order was taken promptly after arriving. I ordered the Chicken Kebob plate. For $18.95, I was pleasantly shocked at the amount of food that the order came with. It came with a well seasoned chicken Kebob (an actual Kebob on a skewer with veggies), Greek salad (house salad on the menu), wild rice, pita bread, hummus and fresh fruit. Everything was delicious and I had enough to take home for another meal.. A couple of things to note: The worker mopped the floor as I ate my food. I'm sensitive to certain smells so this was kinda a no-no for me. Also expect to wait for your food as they cook it fresh and made to order. If you're in a hurry, call your order in. Neither of these things are deal breakers and I will definitely return. read more

Yelp led me here and I was not disappointed. I went with the Lamb burger and it was absolutely as delicious as everyone says it is. The portions are generous, and the price is right! I was greeted with the best customer service and seated right away on this relaxing Sunday afternoon. I don't believe I waited more than 10 minutes for my food to come out and it was worth the wait. The fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection. The burger patty was seasoned well also. It was perfectly paired with the feta cheese. There were even a few slices of fruit on my plate if I wanted a healthy dessert. All in all I would definitely recommend and definitely be returning again when in the Birmingham area. read more

I stopped here to get some dinner, after visiting a patient at UAB Highlands. It has been a while since I have visited, but I can always depend on this place to have great service. I placed a to go order and there were a few people waiting and also a few dining in. However, the line moved pretty quick and I waited no longer than 15 minutes for my order. I went with the beef kabob entree as I was hungry and I knew that it came with a good amount of food. The beef kabob entree is one of my favorites. It came with fruit, a house salad, wild rice, pita bread and hummus dip. The beef on the kabobs was tender and the kabobs were seasoned really well. The rice was also very good and they gave you a generous amount. You do not have to worry about getting full, because they make sure to give you enough food. I lucked up and got a parking space out front. However, their parking is limited out front. good,I enjoyed this place and will be sure to visit again. read more

We came in for dinner Tuesday night before an event and thought we could get a good meal and good service. I understand it was Valentine's Day but this place wasn't even packed. We walked in at 6:05pm and ordered right then because we knew what we wanted. We received water and tea and didn't see anyone else until we asked about our food at 6:35pm. I was told it would be coming right up and we still didn't get it until 10 minutes later. We had to rush and eat but we saw people that ordered the same thing seated after us eat before us! The food was good but the service brought experience way down. read more

I heard about Pita Stop on Yelp and really was excited to check it out. We went for lunch and was immediately seated, so there was zero wait time! Always a PLUS when dining out for lunch during the work week. Prior to going to Pita Stop, I probably read most of the reviews just to get a pulse of what people were ordering . I found that people really loved the daily lunch specials . Specifically , the chicken meal and the grouper meal were the top choices amongst fellow yelpers! Ok, great. I knew what I was ordering. Before ordering I asked about what the fish special was just to make sure the menu hadn't changed or anything like that. Our server rattled off some fish options and when I heard "grouper", I told her that's what I wanted. Well., guess what? She later came back and said, they didn't have the grouper. So in lieu of , I ordered mahi mahi. Salmon , tilapia or tuna were some other options as well. It didn't take long for us to get our meals shortly after. The serving size for the lunch specials were really generous; I really loved the wild rice, hummus and pita bread! What a treat to my tastebuds! The fish was seasoned nicely but slightly "fishy." Overall this was a really filling meal and I plan to revisit but next time I will be ordering the Chicken Kabobs......I was told those were delish! I'll update my review once I go back. read more

I was introduced to The Pita Stop years ago. On each visit, I always order the Chicken Special. I am always pleased with the marinated chicken, rice, pita bread, hummus, and salad. It just seems like a refreshing meal, not too heavy but very satisfying. It's never crowded when I go, so I walked right up and ordered my food with a quick turnaround. I really believe the same guy takes my order each time, which means he has been very dedicated to the restaurant. As long as they stay aroud and keeps delivering good food, they have a customer for the long haul. read more

The food has always been great! I have turned on so many people to this restaurant. My favorite grouper Wednesday plate that for years was $12.04 after tax, thanks to old Joe, is now $18.65. That's a $22 lunch after a mediocre tip and drinking water. The server put the check on my table along with the food, and never came back. Not sure if I will either. read more

Of all the restaurants I have ever been to on planet Earth, the Pita Stop is my favorite place to eat! The service and food are amazing. I've been eating there since 1981 and have enjoyed it each and every time. I have been to restaurants all over the world, but of them all, Pita Stop is the best. We enjoyed lunch and conversation there yesterday and they fed us and made us feel at home. There's no place like it. Anywhere. On Earth. read more

Pita Stop - Seafood Kebab. Perfection in a Pyrex dish. - Mediterranean Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Hi. We had lunch at the Pita Stop on Southside today. I've been eating there since 1981. I consider it my favorite restaurant on planet earth. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The food is amazing and is affordable. We started with a plate of hummus with vegetables and a glass of chardonnay. Then came the kebabs - seafood with grouper, scallops and shrimp on a bed of wild rice surrounded by salad and fruit slices with pita bread and more hummus. It was wonderful. The Original Pita Stop is a great place to have a meal. read more

One of my first Birmingham bookmarks, we came here for lunch on my last day of the project to celebrate success. It was a mistake to wait so long - this is great food! Fast casual middle eastern. Pitas and hummus, shish kabobs and kafta. I don't know if it's healthy, but it certainly tasted fresh and it was definitely filling. I opted for the "chicken" lunch which arrived with a pile of chicken on top of rice, a small pot of hummus, a quartered pita and a large salad. Two bowls of oil and vinegar with spices were on the table so that you could add as much or as little as you liked. The chicken was tasty, I just wished that there was more of it. But for around $10 with a sweet tea, it was a good deal. A great meal. Delish! Unlike parking downtown, there's no meter here! read more

Pita Stop has always been one of our favorites! Everything we've had is always delicious. This time I ordered their salmon. It was a very generous portion that was perfectly seasoned and seared resting on top of a nice portion of their delicious rice pilaf. The salmon melted in my mouth. It was fantastic! The service was excellent as always. It has a nice welcoming and cozy atmosphere. You just feel at home when dining there. So enjoyable. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is exceptionally delightful. i absolutely love all that it entails. I always, always order the grill grouper with wild rice, hummus salad, it never fails to dissapoint. Although I know I should try different things on the menu, Im stuck on this dish. Typically, I dine here for lunch with co workers or my daughter, shes 18 and have been a fan for a few years now. So , yes come and dine. Located on the south side of birmingham. The authentic Lebanese dishes are truly amazing. read more

For my place of choice this week I decided to eat at The Pita Stop. They serve Middle Eastern cuisine and contains a good bit of vegetarian/vegan options. I decided to order falafel and hummus with pita bread. Although the food was good, it was pretty expensive but that is expected when it comes to cultural cuisine in Birmingham. However, the place itself was nice and the service was great. It was a restaurant that you can dine in or take out and had a really nice interior. I didn't notice any Covid regulations such as masks or gloves but it is 2024, thus, I do not expect COVID regulations to be enforced. Overall, the food was good but I wouldn't go back due to the price point. read more

OMG. All I wanted was a simple Falafel sandwich. When I got home and opened the box, it was a beautiful piece are art. Fresh fruit precisely cut after arranged and a HUGE sandwich. If it had not been for Cooper, my pitbull, giving me the "you do it or I will" look... I knew I had to dig in. Wow. It was the best Falafel ever!!! Staff was super courteous and polite... I walked in wearing my comfies. Shorts and Tshirt. Everyone working walked by to say hello or good evening. Congratulations!!! You have earned yourself a customer for life now. And yes, next time, I'll throw on a nicer pair of jeans and shirt. read more
