fresh all natural healthy menu
Rebecca K.

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

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!

Pita Thyme in Boston

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

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!

Kefka Kebab Plate w/ spicy potatoes, hummus, and fattoush salad.

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.

Baklava
Damien S.

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.

Falafel plate with salad,hummus and potatoes.
Sravani D.

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

50/50 Schwarma plate with hummus and potatoes
Michael C.

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.

Kefta kebab plate with rice (kind of pilaf-style), tabbouleh (fresh but watery), and fattoush salad with pita chips
C.C. H.

My friend and I were trying to go to Casa Razdora on the same block but stopped as soon as we saw the line stretching out the door. There was a substantial line inside Pita Thyme as well but it moved quickly despite my friend's server doing her best impression of sleep-serving. We both got the kefta kebab plates and agreed that while the food is pretty good and reasonably priced, especially for the part of Boston we were in, we've had better. The meat was well-seasoned and properly grilled but the sauces were insipid - the white sauce had no tang or refreshing quality whereas the hot sauce was thin and lacking in taste. The rice seemed to have been done in a plain buttered pilaf style. The tabbouleh was fresh but also watery. The fattoush salad was good topped with crispy thin pita chips. The wheat pita was satisfyingly chewy. All in all, Pita Thyme is a decent option with a shorter and faster-moving line than some other popular lunch spots nearby and walking distance from Post Office Square.

Small family-run restaurant. Have been several times and enjoyed every dish I have ordered. Love…read morethe fava beans and the chicken kebab plate/wrap. Great, soft falafel. Grape leaves tasty too. Will keep going back. NOTES: -- Small interior with about a dozen tables. Also outside seating when weather is warm. Though sitting along Mass Ave can get noisy! -- Seems to be plenty of metered parking in the area though you might end up parking a couple blocks away...or right out front if you are lucky! -- They usually will not seat you until your entire party is there, especially at busier times. -- They do not do bill-splitting with credit cards, they say bc of fees. (3% fee each card). So one person will have to pay with CC or just bring cash.

It's a great family on run business. We had the hummus and appetizer or phenomenal as always great portions as well. I had them mixed kebab dinner. My girlfriend had the Kibby both were great lots of food and to finish the best baklava I've ever had in my life has always even brought a piece home from my mom I would recommend for any person when it's warm out. They have outside seating you can get takeout. It's right there a mess have you have to do street parking but you could always find something.

Everything we ate at this place was delicious. I loved the salad, the dressing is something i never…read moretaste before Plus an excellent customer service. Definitely will come back!

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.

My husband and I went to Boston Shawarma house for a late lunch. I didn't quite know what to expect…read morebut now I am very glad I went. We started with the chicken pie it was very spicy, and the crust was very crisp It was good but a little more spice than I expected. I had the lamb Shawarma with tahini sauce. It was a very big sandwich and also very delicious. My husband had the chicken Shawarma sandwich which was just as large, but he had the garlic sauce and I think he wished he had the tahini sauce but then again it was very large The vegetables in the sandwiches were very fresh and crisp The owner gave us each of complementary falafel that was also very good If we are in the area again, we definitely will go back

Hard to believe they have 4.5 stars…read more The food is meh and overpriced. We had a veg combo plate, falafel/tabouleh sandwich and shawarma/fries/cheese sandwich. Also had a side of foul moudamas, and spinach/feta pie. The foul moudamas was so salty, it was inedible. The spinach feta pie was ok, but we were expecting two pieces as that is what is shown in the picture, but there was only one. The combo plate is fine. Grape leaves were mushy. Falafel is pretty good as is the tahini sauce. The salad is overdressed. Hummus good, but the spicy muhamara is overpowering on top of it. The sandwiches are large, but not great. Shawarma was mushy and the garlic sauce was more like thick garlic paste, needed to be mixed with something to be edible. The order was ready very quickly, I'll give them that. I would not go back, just not worth it.
