    Kitchen carry out side
    Bill W.

    The food was plentiful and tasted great. I got the kefta and kabob plate. It came with a good chopped salad, hummus, French fries and rice. The service is order on a kiosk and pick up at the counter. My only issue. They pile all the food on a plate so things mix together. Also the fries were cold but had they been hot I'd gave given them 5 stars. The ambience is carry out in one side and kinda restaurant slash store on the other. A bit confusing.

    We came to Pita Valley after seeing it all over TikTok and Instagram, especially for the crispy chicken shawarma wrap. We love Mediterranean food, so we were genuinely excited to try it. When you walk in, you order at an iPad kiosk and get a number, then sit wherever there's space. Not a huge deal, but the tables had plastic wrap over tablecloths, which was honestly pretty off-putting and made the whole place feel kind of... questionable. We ordered the crispy chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel plate, which came with hummus, salad, fries, and a side of pita. When our number was called, my husband grabbed the food. The falafel plate came out first. The fries were actually pretty good, but there was barely any hummus on the plate, and the salad looked sad and unappealing. I took one bite and that was enough. The falafel itself seemed undercooked. The flavor was just okay, but the texture was weird and not in a good way. The wrap came out shortly after. The wrap was definitely crispy, which was nice, but beyond that it was honestly just okay. The meat was super bland and lacked seasoning. Crispy alone isn't enough to save it. Overall, I truly don't understand the hype. For all the buzz this place gets online, the food was underwhelming at best. If I'm craving Mediterranean food in Tempe, I'd much rather go to Green Corner and actually enjoy my meal

    I have been going to this restaurant since December and I failed to review it because I did not want too many people to overtake one of my favorite places. If you like Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food, they do it well here. The entrance can be a bit challenging since there are three doors. When I first arrived, there was a bit of confusion with where to order, since there is a kiosk and a menu board with a station that divides the dining area. But while the layout may be a bit unorthodox, It does not detract from the service nor the enjoyment of the meal. All the food fresh and they spend time making sure it is prepared well. You can see the quality in their finished product and taste the difference. They have two vertical spits of beef and chicken, and the beef often does not last to the end of the day. I highly recommend their chicken Shawarma and the garlic sauce is phenomenal. The soft bread is also a winner. They also have hummus and homemade pickles. I also have used their business for a catering lunch, and the food was prepared on time and people enjoyed the taste. I would also recommend the opportunity to try some of the snacks, drinks, and of course, baklava that they offer at their establishment. please be nice as the brothers are often working hard preparing the food and their dad is at the register. He used to live in NYC.

    This place was such a hidden gem and so delicious! We got the viral chicken schwarma wrap, falafel and hummus! We want to come back and try the wrap but with falafel because they were super good. Simple place, order at the kiosk then listen for your number

    Our expectations were a little higher, but the food was good. The staff was super nice and explained everything (it was our first time); highlight of the place. Regarding the food, nothing special. We got the crispy version and would recommend the soft and traditional one. The inside could have had a little more sauce (it was a little dry sometimes). It felt like a crunch wrap from Taco Bell. Fries were ok too; nothing special. Place was clean and big.

    Order kiosk

    Stopped in here for lunch and it was a little busy, but not too bad. You don't order at the counter. There's a kiosk on the back wall where you select your food and pay through the kiosk. You seat yourself and they call your number from your order when it's ready for you to pick up from the counter. One issue we found with this is that our meals apparently don't come with any pitas, so we wanted to go back and order a couple of pitas on the side, but the kiosk doesn't provide that as a standalone option. I got some tabbouleh and it was delicious. There was a lot of it too! I got the mixed shawarma platter with 1/2 garlic sauce and 1/2 hot sauce. It was really good. I enjoyed every bite and liked the option to get 2 different kinds of shawarma. They also had a nice variety of baklava that I was really tempted to try. They looked so good. I'll have to try them next time.

    This was located in a very non-descript strip mall. I had a lot of high hopes for this place based on other Yelp reviews. After eating here, I'm not so sure how they get such high marks. The ordering system is a kiosk in the very corner of the restaurant. If it wasn't for the line that was there, I would never have seen it. It was definitely a little confusing. There is absolutely no interaction with anyone from the restaurant. After ordering from the kiosk and asking to print the receipt as per the button on the kiosk, there was no place in which you can pick up the receipt. We ordered the Pita Valley Platter and waited , and waited, and waited for our order. 40 minutes later, they called my number and the food was already luke warm. The hummus and parsley salad was ok. I've had better. We had 4 different types of meat... Chicken, beef, lamb, and a beef Kafka. There were about 4 pieces of each meat about the size of a chicken nugget. These were all topped on the yellow rice which was delicious. The meats were really dry but the yogurt dressing was def needed to moisten the items. We also ordered a piece of the baklava which was a very small piece - 2 bites at best. We paid about $30 for the entire meal. I really wanted to like this place but the wait time was horrible. I can't imagine if there was a lunch rush, how they would do with people trying to eat and run back to work. If you go, please be prepared to wait a LONG time for your food. I hope they can figure things out and deliver faster service.

    I wanted to love this place but just couldn't. Fast casual restaurant where you order at a kiosk and they call your number when your food is ready. The rice was sadly hard and the pita was raw and undercooked. I've heard such amazing things and maybe they were just having an off day.

    Came here for the viral crispy chicken shawarma wrap . Got one regular and had some special requests for the second one. Got the order perfect and weren't annoyed that I had to change it . Loved that there was a market and had so much fun looking around while I was waiting for my food. Beautiful grocery section. Didn't even get a pic of my wrap cause I ate it so quick. Wanted to go back again the very next day. The pastry was PHENOMENAL . The cocoa and pistachio & strawberry ones blew my mind. The classic all pistachio was top tier.

    We stopped in after dance class to try the viral crispy chicken shawarma wrap. I'm not a fan of the screen ordering systems. I know a lot of places are moving towards using them but it grosses me out to tap a screen 800 other people have that day before I eat. Anyway, you order from a screen. We were there around 630pm in a Wednesday night and they were pretty busy. It would be nice if they had more than one ordering screen as we waited probably 10 min to place our orders. It was nice they have the viral wrap added as a specific item for easy ordering. We placed our orders and sat down and waited to be called. Again, they were busy, but it took about 20 min for my friends food to come out (she only ordered hummus and falafel) then my wrap took probably another 10min. It was odd they didn't call them together but not a huge deal. Food was super fresh and you can taste the quality and love they put into it. The staff was very nice and welcoming. The restaurant also has a few grocery type items you can buy. My viral crispy chicken wrap was very tasty but I wasn't as in love with it as people I see online. I ate maybe half and bought the rest home. I asked my 19 year old son if he wanted the rest and man he could not stop talking about how amazing it was! So maybe it just wasn't for me? I would have given it 7/10 while my son was definitely 10/10. Try it for yourself and see!

    What a great first time experience. They have been around for 6+ years and I've never been but glad I did. The wifey saw the viral crispy shawarma. Never hear of this as I'm off the socials but hey we made a date out of it. You could tell everything was homemade and I love that I can see them cook it all right in front of you. The Lebanese came through on this big time. We had the chicken shawarma pita and the soujouk pita. Both great, full of flavor and piping hot. The service was phenomenal. The brothers were so friendly, shared their story coming from NY and their previous jobs. Awesome to hear and you should ask them as they were freely sharing and proud to have come to AZ and open up a spot. They have a grocery that has a few items and I picked up some of mom's homemade Kibbeh (can't wait to try it). The inside was as expected, clean, and bright with plenty of seating. Honestly the service hit the 5 stars all the way for me. Will be back to try different pitas and platters. Go here!

The dining space itself is small, with a few tables. It is definitely not the spot for group dining, but they do seem to have large family style offerings, so takeout seems like a solid choice for larger groups! You can tell they are popular, as they had a good flow of guests coming in and out. The dining space was a bit messy, not the restaurant as much as just trash from leftover guests, though that could be due to the traffic, but definitely noticeable. I ordered a classic gyro, greek fries, tabouli salad and baklava. The price point is extremely reasonable and it was plenty filling with leftovers. The food itself took quite a bit to get out, but again traffic and the staff was kind enough to give us some dolma for our long wait time. Everything I tried was really good, I haven't had dolma before and I would most definitely get it again, theirs was delicious! The value and quality is definitely there and I will most definitely be adding them to my rotating takeout list. I would consider dining in again as well, but find them better suited for my grab and go needs.

I checked the business hours online and it says they're open until 3am. I called the restaurant, no answer.

    FEAR FACTOR-Y I fear…read moreif you come here, you might not like it. Stopped in around 11pm on a Sunday night because it was one of the only places in the area that was open if you didn't choose to go with fast food. It was busy with customers at that time of night, surprisingly, maybe due to the fact they cornered the late-night eatery niche. The gentlemen taking the order was friendly. But I don't know if they were caught at a bad time because they were not prepared for the influx of customers. The worker could not even take an order for 15 minutes because they were backed up trying to cook and finish existing orders. The worker did let the crowd know that it would take a while before we could order. Once we ordered, then it took another 20 minutes to get the food. Was it worth the wait? No, sorry. SHAWARMA FRIES- They must have been using old oil, fries were a dark and unpleasant grease bombs. The meat in shawarma was not great. To me it lacked the spices and seasoning and was underwhelming. It was basically Carne Asada without spices. All it was was meat and fries which came with a cream sauce on the side. It could have used some tomato or greens or pickled veg to brighten up dish. It was just heavy and greasy and one-note. I would not order this again. FALAFELS were much the same. Dark and almost burnt, crunchy, hockey pucks, except they were ring-shaped, I think to allow an efficient, even cook, so why were they over-cooked? HUMMUS was pretty decent, creamy and smooth, I wouldn't mind buying this by the cup. It's a shame that the pita bread was so generic, it did not do the hummus justice. The rice also tasted generic. Nothing really felt authentic here. The place needs some detail cleaning really badly. There is dust all over the furniture and decor and it was unappetizing. The bathrooms smelled like a hobo encampment. The tidiness was scary. The friendly staff and hummus is all they really had going for them on my visit. It would be hard for me to comeback unless they really do an overhaul of their restaurant.
