| - I'll preface this by saying this was the first time I'd ever had Greek/Mediterranean food, aside from the odd serving of hummus, so I really have no idea what I'm talking about.
That said, the food here is delicious. I decided to dive right in and try something totally new to me, so I got a falafel pita. The first bite, I didn't really understand the flavor. The second bite, it was like "wait.. wait.. I think I got something!" And with the third bite, I realized it was delicious. I'm sure this has nothing to do with Pita Jungle and everything to do with me not knowing what the hell falafel is. Regardless, it was delicious, and I consumed the remainder of my pita with gusto. I have no idea if it was authentic, but I do know that it was tasty.
We also got the Mediterranean Platter, and pretty much everything in it was delicious, except the taboule was rather flavorless. It was pretty much just a big pile of greens (parsley, I believe), a few small pieces of tomato, and I guess there was some sauce or something but it didn't really taste like anything at all. And there was a lot of it. The platter was probably 1/3 taboule. So it was kind of a waste as we ending up throwing it away.
We ordered take-out so I can't say what the dine-in service is like, but just from the few minutes I spent inside the place I think I'd feel out of place there. With the dim lighting and the seats filled with the hipster crowd, it's definitely not the atmosphere I go for. However, the girl I talked to behind the counter was nice, and she offered me a glass of water while I waited for my order to come out, so I put a buck in the tip jar.
A bonus about Pita Jungle is they have online ordering, which is great for a socially awkward person like myself who abhors having to speak on the phone to people.
