This family owned gem is a must. Their ingredients were fresh and healthy! I happened to stop by while on my low iodine diet and they were able to prepare me a fresh, homemade grilled chicken salad with homemade hummus!! Heaven! Give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

Stopped here for lunch on the drive up to nor cal. The place was empty except for us for some reason but food was really delicious. We got the chicken shawarma and beef shawarma. It was slightly saltier than I would like but flavor was insane! Salad was well seasoned and very fresh. Staff was very friendly. No regrets :)

I’ve eaten here multiple times on the road to So Cal. The food here is DELICIOUS! Very authentic, and tasty. I appreciate that they have more than just “kebab” they have a lot of other dishes. Their salads are also very fresh and tasty. I didn’t even like falafel all these years and then I had theirs and I was blown away! All the falafels I’ve ever had are so dry and bland , these are crunchy on the outside, soft and delicious on inside!

My favorite restaurant in town, and after trying a few other Mediterranean places, still the best I've ever had. Lovely, cozy, and locally owned. Great for lunch or dinner. Lunch special pita sandwiches are great, and full dinners are also to die for. Lamb kebab is my go-to dinner, while I'm partial to the chicken shawarma sandwich for lunch. Even though I have my favorites, everything I've ever ordered was phenomenal, even their salad is stellar (yes, I just said that a salad was stellar). Just ate at another Mediterranean spot for lunch today, which made me feel I needed to update my review. I've also tried some Mediterranean restaurants while out of town, and nothing comes close to Pita House. So go give Lisa and Mac a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Hidden gem! Wow they have a specialty drink called Laban Up and they make an excellent peppermint to go with it. It’s a yogurt drink and mimics a kind of Keifer you find at grocery stores. Only the price at this cozy restaurant is three times at cheap as the grocery store! I’m sipping it now and it is incredible with robust flavors of the probiotics coming through. Excited for the food which takes a bit longer but I hear it’s the best in town! Will update... Yep had to get a second Laban Up cuz it’s so good! And the food and way they present the hummus is heaven!
