Amazing! I've only been here a handful of times, but the guy at the counter is always super friendly and funny and he treats you like you're his best friend. I usually get the veggie pita and then serve myself right there at the salad bar. My friends have tried the shwarmas and loved them. It's a tiny spot, so we typically take out or scoot outside to a table. Thank you Pita Palace...love it! read more

Israeli Soul Food I have never had a bad meal here and i visit often. Try everything it's all good. The veggie bar is awesome! Yeah it gets busy and crowded, but all of the good ones do. read more

This place is awesome. The food is so flipping good. I personally love their falafel, but I have also had grilled chicken and my boyfriend had the shwarma and all are delicious. I like putting all the yummy toppings on the pita, and their spicy fries are great too. The owner is really sweet. He makes you want to come back just because you know you're going to have a nice, pleasant experience. read more

The boyfriend and I were looking for a quick place to grab a bite, and were sick to death of fast food. We passed by the Pita Palace, and decided to stop in. He was excited by the gyros advertised in the window; I just plain love Mediterranean food. It was around 4 pm, and the place was pretty empty. I wouldn't have known that it was an all-kosher restaurant except for the Orthodox mom and her son who came in right ahead of us. I have to admit, I was a bit taken aback by the prices. $6.99 for half a grilled chicken pita, $11.99 for a whole one, wow. Prices seemed to be pretty much the same for the various sandwiches, except for the falafel, which is a bit cheaper. Had I seen the news articles on the walls about the falafel beforehand, I would have tried it, but I went with the chicken. Boyfriend got a gyro, and we split a small order of spicy fries. (Small order, $2.99. Large order a staggering $6.99.) The food came out pretty quickly. The chicken was spiced very well, the pitas were soft and chewy, and the hummus and spicy sauce were both just excellent. (As a sidenote, the spicy sauce was obviously a spicy sauce, but for those of you complaining of burning tongues, you've clearly never had Peruvian Aji. Man up.) I also appreciated the wide variety of veggie salads you can use to customize your sandwich (Jerusalem salad, yum). Boyfriend was pleased to see that their gyros are hand-made, the traditional way, meat stacked on meat on a spit instead of a large processed lamb hunk. Because it's kosher, they don't serve tzatziki with the sandwiches (no milk and meat), but the hummus more than makes up for it, and the boyfriend, a traditionalist, said it was still awesome. The spicy fries were a pretty big order (you do not need a large), and more seasoned than spicy, but hot and fresh enough that they were obviously cooked to order. All in all, a great place to stop in as long as you have a few extra bucks lying around. The only reason it's not a five-star is because their prices are surprisingly high for (even really good) fast food. read more

great place. I am a regular and I even have a shirt to prove it. Yes they gave me a complimentary shirt. Love the shwarma all of them - great - salsa bar to place all your sauces - homemade tahini sauce, cabbage, eggplant, peppers etc etc. Fil up your pita to the brim with everything. kinda small and it can get packed during lunch and otherwise drab atmosphere with pictures of Israel and the Iraeli army on the wall. Everything is fresh. It is kosher so you can't bring any food in from the outside. read more

Since our last visit about a year now, this place has definitely gone through a revamp with it's interior. It may have not expanded much in size but it definitely has a new look to it. I had the Chicken Pita which was fairly good whilst the hubby had the Falafel Laffa which was a little disappointing compared to the last time we had it here. Falafels here were then crunchy and on point! For some reason it was soft and bland this time about. I really hope they would go back to making their Falafels the way they used to be. Service was good and they were generous with the portions. read more

I don't know. They're never open! If your restaurant has a sign displayed that states a specific closing time and I arrive before the stated closing time but the lights are off and there's no visible activity. Not once but twice! I have to pause, roll my eyes, shake my head, question your business mentality, then sit in the parking lot for a second to gather my thoughts and figure out where I should go next. On the brighter side: I'll be back one day soon because I really want to try their Falafel but I'm thinking I may call ahead. Yes, that's how much this bugged me. Look forward to an update. read more

Shwarma chaos and I like it. Fries are decent get the spicy version think how checkers fries are supposed to be, and roasted meats equals pretty delish The whole add your own topping bar/ salad thing is a bit of a mess, so work is needed on that. Overall pleasant experience just needs a bit of clarity for newcomers like myself read more

Just left there. Was hoping to eat in, but on a 90 degree day their air wasn't working. Wow. Sweating buckets as they took my order. Paid 14 dollars for chicken shwarma, a salad, two pieces of falafel, and none of it was great. The chicken needed seasoning. Then I remember not being impressed the last time I was here. Ameers across the street is better for the same type of food. read more

The reviews rave about the food so my expectations were high. I bought an extra sandwich for a vegi friend and figured I'd be the hero of the evening. Well, I had to make a quick stop and then headed home to try this 'superb' sandwich. Not only was I disappointed but I could not finish it. I knew the meat was chicken and lamb but the processed meat tasted like marinated canned mushrooms. It was horrid. Thank goodness for the dogs. I couldn't imagine how the falafel would taste but I'm waiting for my friend to tell me it's great so that it's not all a waste. The service was great, and friendly and really warm. If I could eat the service I'd be writing a great review, for the service I give four stars but this is a review of the food, so two. The spicy french fries were tasty. read more

I planned a group work outing here. Luckily only two of us could make it since the place is pretty small. But I like holes in the wall. The staff were quite patient with us as we took our time trying to figure out waht we wanted. My friend and I both ordered up laffas (chicken and lamb shwarma) and they were served up quickly. These things are huge. Neither one of us could finish it off. I ate about half and saved the rest for dinner. A nice way of getting your money's worth. I think the pita is the best option for most diners. We had planned to order dessert as well, but were way too full by the end of our meal. Pita Palace doesn't serve up the best shwarma out there, but still nice. read more

What a cute little place. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much that I almost don't want to review the food - because while it was very good, it had its downsides. I got the chicken shwarma half pita and spicy fries. I know I'm a Fat American, but the pita was teeny. Of course, I loved the pita, the shwarma (chicken, because the place is all kosher), and the various fillings (hummus, babaganoush, and spicy sauce FTW!), but it was just SO small for the price. The fries were also overly expensive, in my opinion - especially because I would absolutely put money on them being Ore Ida Zesties. I paid $2.99 (or maybe it was $2.49) for the fries, and I'm pretty sure I could buy a whole bag of Zesties at Publix for that. There are many reasons I'll return, though. 1) The "salad bar", where you can get different kinds of salads, either to eat on their own or to add to your pita sandwich. They were awesome, and next time I'll try more of them. 2) The guy behind the counter was FABULOUS. He was able to manage taking orders of the (many) people walking in, cashing out people who were leaving (because you pay after you eat), and serving the food as it was coming out of the kitchen. And all with a smile on his face! 3) It's definitely a cultural experience you can have close to home. And 4) the food was quite yummy. So all in all, a very good experience, just a bit overpriced. Also, the place is SMALL. I got the last table, in the dank-ish hallway by the bathroom. Next time I might just get it to go. Ha. read more

My husband picked us up food from here one night on his way home from work. This is a great option - especially if you're really hungry! We had the grilled chicken and the chicken shwarma - both were delicious! The chicken shwarma had been chopped up which was good for putting it in the pita. I don't know what he ordered but we had enough chicken for 3 days! With the chicken and pita we also got: hummus - very good! tahini - i prefer tzatziki but this was a good substitute. Baba Ganoush - so good! Maybe some of the best I've had in the city! Some kind of special sauce that was a little spicy almost like a curry and was so good! Salad - basic but a good addition Pita Chips - at first we weren't sure what they were but they were super crispy and went well with the Baba Ganoush. All in all we had a ton of food and everything we had was good! My husband said the people working were very friendly and helpful about everything. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is by far one of the best Pita/Gyro falafel place in town. If you are around Cheshire Bridge/Emory area then do stop by here and try their Gyro sandwiches. Well try any of their pita sandwiches and they are all pretty damn good. Also, when asked how spicy do you want, do not just say 'hot' like I did. You will pay your price for taking it hot..lol. Pita by itself is fresh and definitely does not seem like run of the mill industry produced pita's. They also sell pita breads in case if you want to buy some. Also, with your entree you have the option to choose from their salad bar. Most of the things in the salad bar are delicious but my personal favs are the eggplant, potato and the slaw. This place by itself is small so definitely not good for a large group but they do have a little outdoor seating which you could enjoy if the weather is good. Parking is relatively easy given the fact that it shares the complex with a huge parking lot. One of my definitely go to places around this area for food. read more

Best falafel in town! Chicken schwarma delicious. We are so hooked on those two we haven't tried the rest of the menu. Little piece of Israel, this place. read more

The food here is really, really good. Shlomo the owner is super nice, goes out of his way to take care of you. Highly recommended!

Had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious! The right Amount if spices. Love the array of side options on the salad bar. The eggplants were my favorite. The fries here are also perfectly salty, crispy and go great with the falafel. My husband had the chicken one and he loved it. read more

Lovin' the shwarma! and I agree with Kerry on "just a leetle bit of spicy" Excellent lunch stop read more

After taking some time away from PP, i decided to come back and see if it was any good nowadays. Boy, have I missed this place! Was absolutely delicious!!! I order through Postmates a lot more these days and Im shocked PM gets my order correct but they do!! So yummy!! read more

Much improved decor and cleanliness. Food also very food. Had Turkey Swarma with seasoned fries, all great with fresh salad and veggie bar. read more

First time visit and I had the Chicken Shwarma pita. I must say that this was the absolute best chicken pita I have ever had. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and tasted great. The pita bread was fresh and homemade. If you are ever in the area, I strongly suggest that you give this place a try. read more

I'm giving Pita Palace 4 stars. The reason it doesn't get 5 is because it's really expensive and I have to drive 45 min to get there. But that's not stopping me from enjoying this very authentic Israeli cuisine. I am a southern white boy who used to live in Jerusalem and I can tell you. There isn't anywhere near Atlanta that does as good a job as these guys. The food is by far the best thing I've had this side of the Holy Land. To the owner of Pita Palace: "PLEASE... open a store on the south side of Atlanta and lower your prices" :-) BTW: Get the swarma in a laffa... Fully Loaded!!!! read more

Tried the falafel laffa (8.50 & small fries (2.49). They ask you what level of spiceyness you want. Level starts at 1 for mild 10 for very spicy. If you take the bus here take Bus 6 to La Vista and Barcliff. Look for the Starbucks and then you will see Pita Palace on the left. It gets busy between 12pm and 2pm, so be patient. I used the YELP check-in and it stated I get a free beer. The restaurant does not have beer, so they gave me a small fountain drink. read more

See all

Food was fresh and delicious. Unlike other reviewer, I did not find the portion size generous for eight bucks, but it was ok. Surly unsmiling kid running the counter didn't enhance the experience. read more

Cashier was rude and inpatient. Will not patronize again.

Ordered the falafel for delivery and it came without the babaganoush I requested and NO VEGETABLES whatsoever. Who doesn't put vegetables in falafel?! That's what Israeli salad is made for. Disappointed. read more

BEST RESTAURANT IN ATLANTA. Outstanding shawarma, grilled chicken, and sides. I have never had anything close to an average meal here ever, ONLY OUTSTANDING MEALS. The shawarma burger is the best burger in Atlanta by far, and Shlomie is a great host. Try the schug, it's unreal. A+ every time! read more

Terrible service. Food not bad. The person who took the order was not friendly and bordered on beliggerent. He asked what was in my brown bag as I sat down. I humored him and answered that it was fruits. I even asked him if he wanted some. I then asked why he asked. He answered they have some restrictions on outside food coming in. That doesn't make sense unless I started eating that in there. Which I didn't. And nor did I give any indication that I was planning to. I told him not to worry, I wasn't gonna eat it there. Then he handed me the pita instead of providing on a plate (or paper bag or something). And I had to ask for napkins as well. The food itself tasted fresh. And it was a spicy as I liked it. But the service was embarrassing. Very awkward. Not even worth 1 star. read more

I want another pita filled with falafel and other good stuff right now. RIGHT. NOW. I was so excited as soon as I walked in. There were a bunch of girls just standing around rather than sitting while waiting for their sandwich so that was kind of off-putting at first but then I was noticed and my pita was started! After agreeing to hummus, I was asked if I like things spicy. Oh yes I do. The guy behind the counter put a bit on the top piece of a pita he cut off and oh that actually burned with nothing else involved. I kept myself from coughing like a wimp but 10 minutes later in the car, it finally could not be stopped. Good stuff. When my pita came out I was just sort of like overwhelmed by all the things to add. After realizing I looked completely confused as to where to start, I relinquished my pita to the guy behind the counter and let him do his thing. He wrapped it up to go for me and I tried to get home as fast as possible to stuff my face. I open the bag and my pita doubled in size after I gave it to him. It was now full of pickles, cucumber and tomato, grilled eggplant, tahini. I squeaked and bit in immediately. The spicy sauce was way less noticeable with all the other goodies inside. I would definitely get just a tad bit more next time because I like a good kick. But everything all blended together was so good. As for the falafel itself, it was amazing, hands down the best I've ever had. They were nice and crisp on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. The bright green color of the interiors was nice to see. A five dollar oversized pita isn't bad at all, I will definitely be back on any day that is not a Saturday. read more

Sure, their tables are tiny, and sure, it's a little warm in there 'cause of the rotating meat chunk of awesomeness, and sure, you'll probably be pressed up against the sweaty back of the guy sitting at the table behind you. But damn, that falafel pita is amazing. Don't forget to pack it full of the perfect fried eggplant. read more

Great restaurant, great food, great owner. Definitely will be making this place a mainstay.

Went in to get some lunch, and up on entering we were greeted by all the employees and there was not a long wait to get to sit down. The whole area was clean and welcoming. We really enjoyed the food and services we received. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat great authentic shwarma. read more

Five stars just for the mint lemonade- the rest is gravy. The shwarma is legendary.

It's authentic, it's awesome, it's reasonably-priced. The service keeps it real, they ain't jumpin through any hoops for ya! I got a shawarma half pita and it was delicious. I feel like they really skimped on the meat, though, and padded it out with too much hummus, tahini and babbaganoush. Sorry about my misspellings. Next time, I'll tell em to skip the babbaganoush and I'll put my own hummus on it because then they will have to give me more meat! They have a badass salad bar with these amazing pickles and carrots and crazy hot sauce and hummus and cucumbers and onions - oh my. Their drink selections suck, just Pepsi and diet Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew, which is dumb. *pouts* When in Atlanta, speak Atlanta and serve Coke. Anyway, the pita bread is wonderful. I'm definitely a big fan and will be back. :) read more

Yikes what is all the hoopla about - between the filthy setting , unfriendly cashier and terrible food (and expensive too for what you get) 1 * is a stretch - the chicken shwarma was rubbery and barely warm, the salad bar pathetic with anemic and tired looking items Sanitation definitley not a strong point...even food board gave them an 80 which is sad for any restaurant - watched a food prep person clean up the floor and then go back to preparing food without any gloves So if this is the 'best place for middle eastern food' in Atlanta we live in a sad, pathetic place Needless to say i WONT be back -even if were free!! read more

They have amazing falafel and the staff is friendly and helpful. The place is very clean, and everything looks super-fresh and tasty. I went here for the first time recently with a friend who keeps kosher, and it was one of only a few restaurants in the area that were appropriate. I was thrilled to find this little place that I had passed by so many times before. SO GOOD! I asked for a falafel "wrap" which I think is better than just putting it in a little pita pocket. It comes out warm and ready to be filled with an array of stuffings and spreads. It is bigger and more filling than the pita sandwiches if you are craving something that can hold even MORE falafel! read more

Next time you are at the Lavista Whole Foods and hungrily eyeing the salad bar, stop. Make you way across the street to Pita Palace, which has some of the best falafel and juicy shawarma in Atlanta. This lunch-spot has changed ownership in recent years, but the quality is still going strong. There are only a few tables so get it to go, but don't forget to get your fill of the toppings from the mini-salad bar. read more

My friend kept saying it's the best falafel in Atlanta and I was able to confirm that on Sunday. Tiny joint, sure, but don't go there for the ambience. I'm so tired of paying for ambience over food, I'd much rather have it the other way. Anyway, food is great, self service after they hand you the falafel and pita. Plus, that pita is super fresh! Omnomnomnomnom read more

It was a big mistake to even enter the place! We wanted to order two pita sandwiches, but thank god just got one. The price for the size of the sandwich is way too high for a neighborhood restaurant. It is $9:75 and it does not even taste that good. The picture speaks for itself! I will never go back! Absolutely disappointed! I wish I could give zero star.......so disgusted with the place and so mad at myself that I didn't walk out of the place read more
