    fresh all natural healthy menu - A restaurant interior features a vibrant green wall with the text 'Fresh. All Natural. Healthy.' in large black letters. Four menu boards are suspended from the ceiling, displaying food options. The kitchen area below has stainless steel appliances, with staff members visible behind a glass partition. The space includes lighting fixtures and some kitchen utensils and supplies. The overall setting suggests a focus on healthy, natural cuisine.

    Love this lunch spot downtown. Best falafels in Boston (sorry Falafel King). There is always a long line at lunch but it's a good sign and it moves fast! So yummy!!!

    Chicken shawarma plate on lettuce with quinoa, tabbouleh and pickles - A black plastic takeout container on a granite table contains chicken shawarma topped with mayonnaise, a side of tabbouleh salad with chopped vegetables, and pickled peppers. The container is open, with a black fork inside, and a clear plastic lid is placed behind it. The meal includes traditional Middle Eastern dishes, presented in a segmented container for easy access.

    Pita Thyme has been great for years and I am so happy they survived Covid as one of the better takeout lunch spots downtown. It seems pricey but the amount of food you get in comparison to other Mediterranean places is incredible. The staff are always so nice and do a great job. Keep up the excellent work!

    Quick lunch here at Pita Thyme with a middle eastern theme. Pick your base, pick your protein, pick your sides. Pretty simple, really. I chose the plate, opting for chicken and for sides, the spicy potatoes, hummus and tabouleh. I asked for added "white sauce" as well. It was quite the decent sized portion, especially since it came with pita bread too. The chicken was moist and hot, the potatoes were fried cubes with a spicy dusting on them, hummus was light and creamy, tabouleh was deliciously piquant. An excellent and inexpensive meal, especially so for a lunch on a budget. Yum!

    Fattoush Salad - A bowl of salad containing pickled radishes, leafy greens, and crispy fried toppings is positioned on a table next to a large window. The window offers a view of city streets, multi-story buildings, and parked cars in an urban environment. The scene suggests a casual dining setting with natural light illuminating the food.

    I actually wanted to try the Turkish restaurant next to it, but unfortunately they were closed. I decided to give this place a try. I was not disappointed. The Fattoush salad was pretty good. Definitely try their spicy potatoes. Would recommend this place!

    I don't quite understand the heaping praise for this place, as there are so many lunch options in the area serving Mediterranean food. I feel like 4 stars is generous - 3.5 is more appropriate. I ordered the kefta kebab plate, with spicy potatoes, hummus, and fattoush salad. Everything seems fresh and fairly tasty, but the kebabs and pita were dry and the kefta lacked seasoning. The fattoush salad was fine, although I would have expected pita chips on top, which is traditionally how it is served (maybe they just forgot). For me, the highlight was probably the spicy potatoes and helpful staff.

    A decent Lebanese joint in the financial district with a decent falafel and delicious wraps! The various items and the proportions they put in the wrap makes it very tasty. This place is super packed during lunch hour but the service is usually quick.They do have daily specials which is good to look forward to everyday.The plates are however huge in portion and keep you full all day long (i felt stuffed the whole day after i ordered a falafel plate for lunch).This place offers potatoes as one of the sides,which I found is different from a usual middle eastern joint.I only wish they had a couple more tables to be seated. Overall a big thumbs up for a quick bite at lunch,especially their wraps.

    We stumbled upon this place for a quick bite and were pleased with what we got. Service was fast and efficient but they line workers could work on there customer service skills a little. The food was tasty and good quality. Would go back if I was ever in the neighborhood

    I know you're probably crashing this joint for a fast shawarma wrap between brokering deals and Snapchatting naughty bits to Kelly in accounting, but if you can save room for the delicate, perfectly honeyed baklava (rolled in pistachios and tubularly shaped), your day will be sweeter than that time she accidentally texted you a knuckle-biter instead of the quick delete. Yknow, the one you said you deleted. You swore you got rid of it.* Anyway, three pieces of flaky baklava for $2. Eat two, give one to that junior trader who avoids eating, because he swears he's riddled with candida. Even he'll love these things. *You didn't.

    New Mediterranean joint that opened in the financial district. This is provably a true 3.5 star joint because of the very limited seating and that this is one of those places where if you stay too long your cloths might stink of it. Well maybe it's good that there is limited seating. 50/50 Schwarma plate - Half chicken/half beef, not on the menu but can be requested at no extra charge. It came with a few sides. I had the spiced potatoes (almost like breakfast potatoes), hummus, and rice. For those not familiar with schwarma it is just a style of cooking the meat. Both the chicken and beef were very flavorful.

    Currently closed till 7/2024 according to Yelp…read more But late 2022, we finally got the chance to try Fairouz's $43 Mixed Grill Plate (chicken, beef, shrimp (4 count), lamb, kafta (ground beef and lamb), served with rice, salad (simply lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, and two portions of oil based dressing), garlic dip & hummus dip), to go. Everything came well packed, with the salad in a large plastic clam shell, two little sauce containers of each dip, two ziplock baggies of pita triangles, napkins, plastic ware, all sitting on the aluminum foil covered tray of meat and rice. Since I had been enticed by Bea's photo of this dish, I was a little disappointed at the lack of grilled vegetables. But there was salad and upon reflection, the menu made no mention of such veggies, so perhaps there's been changes over time? The rice received props from this household, and wonder at how it was flavored. The meat, though medium to well done, was tender enough, and the lamb lacked that gaminess that the non-lamb-eater among us so dislikes. The kafta and shrimp were the most strongly seasoned proteins of the bunch, and the shrimp rather juicy. Both hummus and garlic dip were good, but the garlic is indeed strong with the latter, so spread with a light hand. You can always add more to taste after all. The worst that could be said was that I wished that there had been more tomatoes in the salad, and if only they had not split the pita triangles. Pitas without their pockets are rather tougher to enjoy as self made mini sandwich bundles of all the good flavors and textures. I hope they see this and reconsider.

Ordering was at the counter and the person was so friendly and patient with our questions. We initially only ordered the chicken shawarma and moussaka and Dubai chocolate cup (no matter what, this is what I needed!). As we ate, we realized the food was good and we'd like to try other items. So we got a mulberry juice and a flatbread - 1/2 zaatar and 1/2 cheese. Everything was tasty. Some specific points: the chicken shawarma is more like a kebab than the shaved chicken I'm used to, it would be nice if they offered both. The zaatar can be a little tart and that's where the cheese balances it out. The mulberry juice is sweeeeet but great for a hot summer day. The moussaka came out cold which I was a little surprised by. The Dubai chocolate was fantastic, the only downside is that it's tiny haha. I could've eaten one more. It's an airy bright place and they also have seating outside. Parking is convenient. I'm sure we'll be back.
