went in during lunch break at work new to trying it 10/10 very recommend excellent service you are treated like family

They have an extensive menu of delicious and authentic middle eastern food. We had a falafel wrap and a vegetarian combo plate with falafel, hummus, salad, olives, tabouli and pita. Everything was fresh and flavorful. They grill the wraps so they come out hot and crunchy. Service was friendly and efficient. It's definitely a bare bones kinda place - you're going for the food not the ambience. We finished up with a baklava that was pre-wrapped (with made me think it wouldn't be fresh) but it was crispy and delightful! read more

Was recently in the area and just looking for something quick, tasty, and filling! This hit all the right check marks. Grilled meats will always have my heart so I went with the Deluxe Kabab Plate which included a really nice portion of rice, salad and 2 of each chicken, lamb, and kafta. I went with spicy option so spicy sauce was layered on top. There is some seating available and they seem to also do quite a bit of takeout and delivery. It's fairly roomy feeling in there since the tables are all along the windows. No frills spot with solid food. In terms of pricing I thought it matched the amount of food and flavor for what I got so not mad at all. Upon leaving staff notated next time to order ahead for less wait and then gave me a card for $10 off my first online order. Will definitely be doing that for next time! read more

My order: Chicken and rice bowl The Review: I had mixed feelings about this place. Why? It is overpriced, the physical location is neither the cleanest nor the most welcoming inside, but the food is genuinely good. When I got the chicken and rice bowl, I saw their extensive options of toppings and assumed that some garnishes were involved, as "bowl" usually would imply at a counter-serve locale. They informed that you either get chicken and rice or chicken and salad. I ended up paying around $18 for chicken. and rice. That being said, the chicken in question was really well made, and the portion size was decent. I can't overlook good food and there aren't a ton of options in the neighborhood, so despite their shortcomings, South End Pita gets a 4 from me. I still hope they improve their customer service and menu prices. read more

I tried this place on a whim and it was so delicious and great value! I ordered the lam shish kabob salad with a side of chicken kebob and the meat portions were so hefty! The chicken was huge and definitely a standout for me. The lamb was juicy and had a good grilled flavor. The salad was also very fresh and their vinaigrette was delicious. I will definitely be trying more of the menu. read more

Great place if you like Mediterranean and lamb with great pricing! While I didn't expect anything, I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone nearby. The combo plate was terrific, especially the lamb kebab, which I plan to order just the lamb plate next time, and a significant portion that was enough for two or a single hungry soul. Amazing hummus and pita, which I should have also ordered as take-out. Great mom and pop shop vibe where you can enjoy your meal in a relaxed and chill ambiance, with excellent service! I hope you enjoy your time here during your visit, as we did! read more

Delicious, authentic and a great value! Simple/casual atmosphere and friendly service. Great for take out too.

Excellent food! A very small interior with only a few tables, but the food is very fast to be served and there's room to sit and eat a quick meal or wait for a to go order. The employees were extremely kind. The food was simply delicious and full of flavor. I had the falafel pita roll. We watched as they made the falafels fresh in front of us, and they were hot and delicious. We also got the beef and lamb plate which was served nice and hot. The meet was flavorful and moist. Parking is only street parking which may pose a challenge. read more

Had an issue during a recent visit, but the owner reached out directly, apologized, and handled it professionally. I appreciate the follow-up and effort to make things right. read more

Their food will make you want more. It's very fresh and they have a reliable catering service. I would definitely order from them again.

Ordered from here again and the food was great! Chicken shawarma combo plate was delicious, came with yellow rice and salad. Special #1 Chicken kabob plate also comes with rice, cabbage and salad. Chicken kabob was very tender and flavorful. Pretty good portions too, had some good leftovers for lunches! The kafta pita roll and the lamb kabab pita roll-up were good - hubs found the pickle in them a bit too sour. But otherwise great and filling. Easy to eat, held together well, did not fall apart - he is picky about that :). This is a definite keeper and new favorite for sure! read more

I really have nothing bad to say about this food. The lamb burger was phenomenal. I will order again, it was delivered through door dash so I can't really say much about the service but the presentation was everything. The fries were delish! The food arrived Hot ! Not scalding but enough to enjoy the meal. The Roll up was okay, next time I may just leave out the pickles. They are really tangy/sour n it throws the taste off the lamb. But overall this place for the first time hit the spot. read more

South End Pita - Lamb Burger - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The meat is ok but everything else is a joke, tabbouleh is a disaster, plus poor lighting, bad service, off vibes. Not worth the prices.

Ordered delivery from here though Seamless and I was blown away! The lamb burger with cheese ($12 on the app) is a must try. The lamb was so tender and cooked perfectly medium rare (you can choose how well you want it cooked). The patty was seasoned nicely and the cheese and caramelized onions tied everything together. The order came with a lot of pickles. I don't think I've ever gotten that many pickles from any restaurant before! But the pickles were awesome and went well with a lot of other things I ordered. The burger comes with either fries or a salad, so I tried the salad. The salad had your typical fixings like cucumbers, onions, olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. It also came with a tangy vinaigrette. The salad portion was bigger than I expected. The beef shawarma combo plate ($13.20) was also great. It came with the salad described above, a large portion of beef shawarma, and a large portion of rice. The meat and rice were well-seasoned but not too salty. It didn't make me feel like I was eating a heavy meal. If I hadn't discovered the awesome lamb burger, then I would order this again, but I think I'll be ordering a lot of lamb burgers from this restaurant for a while... I also ordered the hummus ($5.75), pita bread ($1.25), and baklava ($1.50). The hummus was super smooth and on the tangy side. The pita bread order came as two large tortilla-sized, thin pieces of bread. Sadly it was cold when it arrived (while everything else in the order stayed warm) but it still paired well with all the food. I also highly recommend getting the hot sauce ($0.70) for anyone who likes garlic and can tolerate spice. The hot sauce was super garlicky and packed a nice kick. I'm used to seeing restaurants charge close to $3 for a single piece of baklava so I was happy to find out that a piece is only $1.50 here. The pastry was very flaky and overall not too sweet. Super impressed by the food here! I look forward to ordering from here again soon. read more

South End Pita - Beef shawarma combo ($13.20), lamb burger with cheese ($12), pita bread ($1.25), baklava (2 pieces $1.50 each), hummus ($5.75) - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Ordered South End Pita from Uber eats and was pleasantly impressed with the food. They were the only middle eastern restaurant open on Sunday. The food came well packaged and the food was still warm. The portions were massive. We got the chicken kabob and deluxe kabob and those two were enough to feed the two of us for two nights. The extra pita was also generous and went well with their home made hummus. The meat itself was also juicy unlike some of the drier kabobs I've had from other restaurants. Great food! Would definitely order again. read more

this might be my favorite Mediterranean place around boston. food is always tasty and authentic. it is a bit pricey but the portion is usually decent. i tend to have enough for 2 meals. i usually do takeout via doordash and pick up process is always smooth. my go to is the Lamb Shish Kabob Plate read more

Loved this place! The food was delicious and SO well priced! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and my boyfriend ordered the deluxe kabob combo plate. I also got one falafel ($1) and we got 2 pitas - which were HUGE. Both of us ate our leftovers for lunch the next day as the plates came with a very generous amount of food! Everything was incredibly delicious. The combo plates came with rice, green salad, and the meat(s). The deluxe kabob plate in particular came with chicken, lamb, and kafka (a ground meat kabob similar to a meatball made with beef / lamb). We truly loved everything that we ordered and were very impressed by the amount that we got for the price. I will definitely order from here again! read more

The food is awesome. Always fresh and tasty! We only get delivery, so can't speak to the actual restaurant. Orders always arrive correct and packaged nicely. read more

Pros: food is good and authentic and it's convenient Mediterranean from Southie. Cons: it's expensive!!! If you don't order EXACTLY what is on the menu and customize it, expect to pay $.50-.70 cents for each additional. The "Base" falafel pita is served with hummus, parsley and pickles for $12. I don't get any of those, I just substitute my own 3 toppings but am charged extra - IMO should be an even swap. It fits a craving when we're looking for it, so we'll keep coming back but it's not the best value I've ever had. read more

prices have risen and quality has gone done. $9 for tabouli which is a pile of bitter roughly chopped parsley. I used to love this place. no more. read more

The official rating is a 3.75. This is a couple weeks late but wanted to document the latest eat local meal. I work in downtown boston, and one of the few perks downtown offers are the vast options of Mediterranean lunch spots. I wanted a semblance of normalcy so I decided to try pita. I decided to go for the lamb kebab since wifey isn't a fan of lamb so I need to take advantage of my opportunities. It was delicioso! When I opened the plastic bag, the spices on the lamb were packed with so much flavorful, it made my mouth immediately water. The meat was sliced thinly making it less chewy and easier to eat. Usually you're left with big chunks of meat, so it was a nice attention to detail. The meat was slightly overcooked, but it was probably due to the delivery time. Onto the sides. The rice was good, it wasn't your typical rice pilaf, it was a yellow rice but nonetheless yummy. The greek salad was simple but great. Everything tasted fresh and dressing was good. I'm not a big fan of olives, so that wasn't pleasant for me but I won't punish pita for being picky. Wifey wanted to go vegetarian that day so she got the falafel wrap. The wrap was average. The falafel was good but the wrap itself lacked flavor. A little citrus or a vinegar spice would've helped it. All in all, I would order from here again and try some of their other meats. read more

This place was very disappointing. I had high hopes after reading through their stellar google reviews, but I was very disappointed. The falafel was alright but the lamb shawarma plate was barely edible. The rice was very watery and I had to drain the container upon receiving my meal. The lamb was tasteless and very chewy. This place was definitely a letdown for me read more

This used to be reliably fantastic, accommodating and great food at a good value. Ordering for delivery, you can expect this business to load you up with rice and lettuce, while scattering a few chicken bits on your $20 Schwarma Plate. The main portion of their take out container will be the lettuce, the smaller side compartments will be filled with rice and the chicken will be difficult to find. Little add on bits like a scoop of Hummus or a splash of hot sauce will now top you around an extra $6. And of course they don't want to be inconvenienced with your likes / dislikes - so they make sure to disable any "special instructions" boxes across their menu. Feel like the management has forgotten how to leave a customer wanting to come back, and its a shame, because the food is generally pretty good! Just wish they weren't trying to nickel and dime the customer read more

Ive been to Pita several times. I've already had it twice this week. I've ordered delivery, ordered pickup, ordered and ate there- it is ALWAYS good. I mean ALWAYS. Favorites are: Falafel Hummus The hot sauce (you gotta try it!) Chicken shwarma roll up Lamb shwarma roll up or combo I'm sure at this rate I'll get to everything on the menu... Not to mention the staff are great and super friendly! read more

Food was just ok. I got the chicken shawarma roll and it didn't have much flavor other than the taste of the hummus which felt over powering. I asked for hot sauce on it and I'm not sure if they forgot or if it was just really light. Quick service though but I don't think it was worth it for the cost. read more

Got the lamb shawarma wrap and it was okay. I wish it had more flavor/sauce. The flavor was all a bit bland. I wish the meat was more evenly spread in the wrap. The wrap was cut in half and the 2nd half had like 1 bite of meat then all lettuce. I felt there was too much pita wrap which may be the reason I felt like the wrap was dry and needed more sauce and flavor. Wish there was just more on the inside and more lively vegetables inside. Felt like it was mostly iceberg lettuce and a sprinkle of pickled purple onion. People do seem to enjoy the combos so maybe I have to go with that instead next time. read more

Yummm - delicious local Mediterranean food at great prices. We ordered a salad with chicken shwarma and a beef shwarma roll up with fries. They're great at making your order as you like it, with options like hot sauce and garlic sauce to add to your dish. The salad comes with olives (with pits), feta, pita and a really great dressing. I'd be interested in tasting some of their more traditional items and desserts. Once I called, dinner was ready in 10 minutes and was piping hot! Great choice for anyone in the South End. read more

Wow, I fell into this place and am so glad I did. Their salads were packed full of flavor, chicken was moist and delic and hit the spot dead on. I was starving and was thinking of chips and a soda.

Y'ALL. Can I give six stars?? This is the place for your quarantine take-out desires. I'd heard of Pita before but never had the opportunity to visit in person, so I decided to take advantage of DoorDash to try it out. I got the deluxe kabob plate (comes with two chicken kabob, two lamb kabob, two kafta kabob - which is beef, with rice and a Mediterranean salad with a lemon-y dressing on the side). All of this is roughly $15 and a STEAL for the price. After ordering from here the first time, I proceeded to make a total of FOUR consecutive orders from South End Pita - because it's just SO delicious and such a fab price for the volume of food. Honestly amazing. Add-ons: - You can add pita bread for just over $1, which helps me stretch this out as 2 or even 3 meals, depending how hungry I am. - babaganoush dip $5, imho pretty expensive compared to what you get for the deluxe plate; was delicious, but not sure I want to pay $5 for it - an extra kabob for $2.50... idk, also not worth it in my opinion. Just get a whole 'nother plate :) read more

The food is top notch! The manager that I called to thank for his amazing food was extremely gracious and appreciative. This is a gem for sure! I'm in from Nashville and found this place on door dash. Excellent food, quick service! I had beef shawarma, pita, humus and a baklava everything was absolutely perfect! The negative reviews about sending plastic ware when asked not to and using plastic bags are freaking laughable. Get a life!!! This food is delicious and fresh!
