    My office has placed several catering orders with Pitamore in the past which was always a huge hit. I finally went in person and got there just before the lunch rush. It's a casual fast food like restaurant with only a few tables for dine in while most take their orders to go. The ordering process reminds me of a Chipotle/Q'Doba style. I chose the chicken shawarma plate which you can customize with all the veggies and toppings you want as part of the dish. I had it filled with most everything from the trays I saw - extra fried eggplant because they're amazing! The added garlic and tahini sauce give everything so much flavor. Service was quick and my order was filled accurately with everything I wanted. My bowl was huge and I only ate about half, saving the other half for my dinner later. It's a really reasonable price for the portion you get. I will definitely be coming back for more of my work lunches when I'm on this side of the city!

    Mediterranean Chicken Shawarma Plate

    I am the type that likes to plan out in advance where they're going to eat when they travel. I saw that Pitamore had really good reviews and it was a short walk from my hotel, so I decided to give it a try for lunch today after getting into town. I arrived probably 15-20 minutes before closing, so I wasn't surprised when they were out of lamb and also appeared low on chicken. I ended up getting the chicken shawarma plate with pita on the side. My favorite things about the meal were the eggplant and the pita bread. The eggplant seemed lightly breaded and fried and was tender and salty - very yummy! The pita bread was hearty and yet suuuuper soft and pillowy. The rest of my food (chicken, rice, veggies, sauces) was solid, but didn't exactly stand out and make me say wow. I will say, however, that the portion for me was sizable and I couldn't eat it all, so it was certainly filling. Overall, I thought the food was fine, but I wouldn't return and I'm a little surprised at how great the reviews are after trying it myself. Perhaps I didn't get the best items on the menu or it would've been better to go not so close to closing.

    A few people had mentioned Pitamore as kind of a hidden gem, and when I had jury duty a few weeks ago, I thought, "Perfect!" When we got our lunch break, I walked over and made an entirely too large rice/shawarma bowl (too large because almost every topping looked great so I just saying, "and that... and that... and yes, that too..."). And it was delicious. Just like people said. I did the mixed shawarma - even the chicken was good and not dry?! The fried eggplant was delicious. The tahini was great, the pickles, the slaw, the ... everything! Finally a fast casual place where I like every topping. The pita on the side was great. It was just a great lunch. No complaints, no notes. I actually can't wait to have jury duty again?

    A few minutes walk from the harbor that looks safe enough for you to visit from there. It's a small area with a few dining sets. Service is quick and food are reasonably priced for the taste. Pick an entree then pick all the sides and sauces you want. You can request sauces on the side too if you want to try some of them. They have canned drinks available too.

    Had a lamb bowl with fried eggplant, hummus, cucumber and tomato salad, pickled cabbage, rice, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce. Nothing I would change about any of the sides, absolutely delicious and a huge portion!

    Honestly a very solid fast casual option. I had a chicken shawarma plate with rice, fried eggplant, baba ghanoush, harissa, and garlic sauce, and it was very yummy. The chicken independently is probably fine, but the combination of everything (fried eggplant!) was very yummy. Also super delicious fries (as a brown person, I have always said that ethnic places have the best fries), and these did not disappoint. Soft and fluffy naan on the side too. Would definitely return.

    Visited Pitamore for the first time today since before the pandemic began-- and it was just as good as I remember! Pitamore is fast casual and build your own style place. You can start with a pita or a plate, they have great protein (and veggie) options plus UNLIMITED toppings! The lamb shawarma is my favorite & their garlic sauce is the best of the best! I was so happy that after almost 2 years the staff at Pitamore still remembered me. Such great customer service and friendly people! This is definitely a lunch time spot-- if you're in the Inner Harbor it is a great option. There is some street parking and there's also a paid garage right next door!

    All I can say is WOW. My dining partner and I had such an amazing experience here. First of all,…read morethe restaurant is gorgeous inside. We had an earlier dinner reservation so it wasn't as crowded at the beginning but was quite busy at the end. We tried a couple different cocktails and I loved both of mine - Ashta Affair and Asfar So Good. The Ashta Affair was sweet and creamy and the Asfar So Good was deliciously refreshing. My friend really enjoyed his Old Fashioned Date and had a fun experience trying the El Massaya Arak. For appetizers, we ordered Muhamara and Mousakhan Chicken Rolls. The Muhamara came with pita and was such a great dip. The chicken rolls were equally as good with their own sumac labneh dip we enjoyed. For entrees, we shared the Braised Lamb Shank and Makloubeh. The portions were large and the meat was tender. Neither were over seasoned and were absolutely delicious. We couldn't finish it all and saved the rest for leftovers - yum! We wanted to try their dessert and ending up getting the Ashta Bil Asal and Ruz Bil Karaz. The Ashta Bil Asal had cotton candy which made it a fun dessert to try and the Ruz Bil Karaz had a great caramelization coating. Neither were overly sweet which we preferred. It was such a great ending to our meal. I absolutely loved my experience here. Our server, Miriam, was friendly and attentive. We even chatted with the GM, Iman, who also made sure we were provided a great first experience. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone who's looking for a boujee but amazing time!

The lentil soup was super comforting too. For dessert, we got the raspberry sorbet and baklava--perfect way to end the meal. The sorbet was light and refreshing, and the baklava was sweet and flaky. Service was great. Our server made sure we enjoyed our meal and was available to explain the menu options and checking on time to time if we need anything. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely go back!

One is more of an expected dining room, and the other is a table space near the bar. We were seated in the latter section. I will say this was my only minor complaint. It seems like they want to be an upscale dining experience, but the presence of TVs playing sports is killing the vibe. However, the service and food by far compensated for that. Carolyn (I believe was her name) was our server, and she was just fantastic. She was pleasant and attentive. My daughter and I split four of the mezzedes, and I ordered the mushroom soup and she ordered a side of lemon potatoes. My favorite dish was the wood-fired olives. Simple, but so very good. She loved the halloumi so much, we got a second order (it is a super small serving). The spanikopita, on the other hand, was quite large and meant for sharing. We're vegetarian and found the options both bountiful and delectable. While it is a bit on the pricey end of the spectrum, I'd say it's worth it.

    As a lover of Greek food, I was so excited to try their menu for Baltimore Winter Restaurant week…read more They were offering unlimited mezzedes (small plates) for $45. My experience was very underwhelming. The positives: I liked that there is a parking lot across the street specifically for the restaurant because street parking is very limited. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was nice and tried her best to be attentive even though the kitchen was so backed up and moving at a snails pace. The pita bread was delicious. The desserts were great. My favorites were the baklava and loukoumades. Really the only dessert I didn't care for was the chocolate rum and roses cake because I'm not a big rose fan because it has the tendency of overpowering the other flavors in certain treats. The negatives: The kitchen was very slow at getting things out, even though the restaurant wasn't packed. Aside from the desserts, I didn't care for the food. The biggest issue was everything was lukewarm by the time we received it at our table. The hummus was just ok. The bread was great alone. The Greek village salad had way more feta than anything else and needed more oil and vinegar. The spanakopita was ok but some batches came out burnt but they were never hot. The Cyprus meatballs were so burnt that we couldn't even eat them. The lamb and beef dip was too salty. The stuffed grapes leaves were just ok. The macaronia tou fournou had the potential to be really good but it was not warm enough. I want to believe it was just a bad night and maybe their food is better outside of restaurant week but I'm afraid to try again and be disappointed. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning.

I can't speak on the customer service because I didn't talk to anyone. I ordered at the kiosk and they called my number and that was it. I paid $19.45 for my meal. I order a side of falafels (3) and the street bowl with beef flank, tzatziki, and mild red pepper sauce. The falafels were way too crispy. I feel like compared to other falafels I've tried these were on the hard side. Thankfully I had some tzatziki sauce to dip them in, if I didn't, they would have been a little hard to eat. The flavor was okay but the texture was not appealing. I really wanted to get beef shawarma but they were out so I opted for the beef flank. I wish I would have just gotten chicken instead. The bowl came with rice and a lettuce salad that was underneath the beef. I'm not sure if the lettuce had arugula in it as well, but the lettuce gave sort of a bitter taste which I did not care for at all. Did not taste good so I would add a lot of tzatziki sauce to it to cut down on the bitter taste. The beef was okay, nothing to rave about. I was just very underwhelmed with my food. Not sure if I would give it a try again. If so, I would definitely get something else or build my own bowl maybe. Try it for yourself and see how you like it.

What started as a friendly gathering turned into an awesome night, would love to return soon.
