Reviews
After receiving an apology from the restaurant a few weeks later, I decided that the next time I am in town I will give them a second chance i.e a surprise visit. So, on January 28, 2026 I decided to stop by for dinner. This time the food was perfect, not salty. I was able to enjoy my meal. It was then I realized how large the portion is for the price. I enjoyed the lentil soup and every bit of my main course. The girls at the counter was very polite. After my second visit, I will update my food experience and overall experience to 5 star. See update pictures as well.
To make matters worse, the pita bread was literally placed in the bag straight from a wholesaler package. I’ve been to many restaurants where they at least warm the pita and wrap it in foil, which is a basic expectation.
Overall, the quality and value did not match the price, and I won’t be returning.
The execution in the kitchen needs more consistency. Specifically, the pita bread was disappointing; it was rolled unevenly—making it too thin on one side to hold dips—and it wasn’t cut properly for the table. Additionally, the drinks were poor quality, lacking the freshness or balance you’d expect. Whether it’s specialty teas, coffees, or juices, the beverage program needs an upgrade to match the menu.
The restaurant currently lacks warmth. The environment feels a bit clinical and would benefit greatly from improved lighting, updated decor, or background music. With a few aesthetic changes, the space could feel like an inviting destination rather than just a functional space.
I want to see this local business thrive, but the attention to detail—from the thickness of the bread to the quality of the drinks—isn’t quite there yet. With a focus on quality control and a more welcoming atmosphere, Pita House could be much better.
Our initial visit to PitHouse Mediterranean Kitchen offered a glimpse into a no-frills, self-service Mediterranean dining experience. Located conveniently with ample parking, this spot allows you to walk right in and place your order at the counter. The menu, clearly displayed on the wall and thoughtfully available in paper form for takeaway (a definite plus for future catering considerations!), made ordering straightforward.
We opted for the APPETIZER COMBO, featuring Hummus, Baba Ghannouj, Jerusalem Salad, and Tabouleh Salad. While the selection provided a nice variety of classic dips and salads, the freshness of the latter seemed to be lacking. The creamy hummus and smoky baba ghannouj were enjoyable, but the salads could have benefited from a crisper presentation.
Moving on to the mains, the CHICKEN KABAB proved to be a satisfying choice. The grilled strips of chicken were indeed tender, and the generous portion size, accompanied by flavorful rice pilaf, a simple salad, and warm pita bread, offered good value. In contrast, the CHICKEN SHAWARMA SANDWICH was a bit of a letdown, leaning towards the drier side. Thankfully, a side of sauce helped to improve the overall taste, but more integrated moisture would have elevated the sandwich.
The atmosphere during our Saturday lunch visit was quiet, with only a few other patrons. The background music, described as “old style and boring,” didn’t contribute much to the ambiance. Furthermore, we noted that our table wasn’t perfectly clean upon arrival, requiring a quick wipe-down.
Despite these minor drawbacks, our overall impression of PitHouse Mediterranean Kitchen was positive.
