| - I have been going here since 2001, back in the day when Anthony from Drunkin Immortals worked in the kitchen....
Let me tell you, This WAS a local hidden gem, I have had EVERYTHING on the menu and only have been disappointed once back in 2006 when I ordered the pesto veggie pizza. Just not a good combination.
But honestly this was a place where the people who worked there really took pride in there job and the food they served...
Pita Jungle used to be really hip really unique really ecclectic a place you can go to eat really yummy health conscious food and people watch...Its like you had to be tattooed colored hair crazy addiction to massive amounts of piercings rockabilly just colorful artsy types but all very attractive very friendly....
Just walking in was like stepping onto the set of CHEERS everyone remembers your name...its always packed even outside with the lil tiny seats they would be filled even when its raining...I mean one time I was there back in 2003 during monsoon season and the lights went out people where still eating and coming in ordering food!! It WAS that good...
I never understood how the persian restaurant stayed open next door( between me and you they must be a front, cuz pita jungle was always packed!)...
My fave is The medchilada- its a huge pita wrapped lke a burrito stuffed with chicken and beans and cheese with cheesy saucey yummyness and brown rice ( not to fond of) i always get extra garlic sauce to eat with every bite...
garlic dip - yummo
spanakopita--yummy
apple cinnamon cheesecake (they might not have anymore)- nummy
jalapeno hummus--ummm
so much to list...
But now 2010....
I was just there yesturday, matter of fact after this im gonna call and complain...
it was empty...
(I was shocked ! no matter what day or time you it was always packed) ...
We walked in the hostess came up all quick she had a cute skirt on, we gave her a compliment (should have known right here) she didnt say anything....
When our waitress came up She was numb with no personality, she gave us no name and showed us no interest in our pita jungle experience...
I felt rushed immediately, I really dont like that...I noticed they had expanded their menu to include sirloin and breakfast ( i had the breakfast pita b4 it was yum) but I noticed Medchilada was not on the menu...
I asked our server if they still made it and a slight spark lit up her face she said yea...i evoked an emotion out of her that made her respond!!
(she must get something when someone orders something from the ole school dayz) I dont eat meat anymore so i wanted a medchilada w/out chicken while my lover ordered his with chicken...
2mins later our food arrived and the waitress was sending out the impression like she had something else better to do and really wanted to be done with us...
Pita jungle USED to be known for the quality in service,food and portions...
my medchilada was so skimpy and dry it was similar to an over cooked cheese crisp without cheese a spoon full of beans inside but a huge bowl shaped mound of brown rice thats was dry ( not fond of) not only was it not seasoned but there was cilantro in it it was soo dry and overcooked when i cut into it caved in and revealed its hollowness reveling our nameless waitress, or extra side of potatos where charcoled black not seasoned ( i guess they dont use salt anymore) my beans where not seasoned...the chicken was dry like wood.. my garlic dip tasted like bland watered down soupy mashed potatos...
nameless unfriendly waitress came back all to quick, to get asking us anything out of the way and just topped off all our drinks not even asking if we were ready for more(after only taking two sips) messing up the balance in my tea...
After only 5 bites I was so uncomfortable full literally but feeling akwardly hungry still i began to wonder if they now added MSG in their food....
waitress appears with check where she meticulously charged for everything an decieved us when it came to happy hour prices, not even telling us the speacials or that we are there during happy hour...she even charged us the same amount for the medchiladas even though I had no chicken in mine... we asked for the chicken we were charged for and she got obviously annoyed, then we pointed out the fact that our potatos where really burnt and she just walked off then came right back with a snotty attitude talking about she doesnt know who made it but bringing us a to go box with chicken that still was dry and looked like woody the wood pecker was peckin at it....
I was so sad and heartbroken to be treated so ill...this used to be my fave restaurant..if i hadnt had so many awesome experiences previous and this was my 1st time coming i would never go back.
I honestly feel like the magic is gone Pita jungle has sold out and let their greed get the best of them....they gave up quality for quanity BS they have cheap help that alters the food, bad service, This place sucks lost a longtime customer
