| - My husband and I were excited to try a new restaurant so read the great reviews on Pita Jungle and gave it a try a couple of weeks ago. It was okay. We are die hard Mediterranean food fans. We were looking for vegetarian dishes and there are plenty offered which was good to see. The waitress was very personable and helpful, suggesting many vegetarian dishes. We started with a hummus sampler for the appetizer, which consisted of original, roasted red pepper and jalepeno cilantro. All were very tasty; however, we didn't care for their pita bread at all. It had a grainy texture. So, that was a bummer because we ordered falafel pitas for our main entree. The falafels were alright, but again, the pita bread made it a disappointment. The falafel by itself was moist enough and seasoned well, but we have tasted much better. On a falafel scale, it would be a "meh". My husband ordered the beans and rice. They were just okay, too. Kind of bland. The atmosphere and food are more of a fusion of Mediterranean and some Mexican. The music was a bit loud, hard rock blaring, making it distracting to converse with my husband. If you like fusion-y kind of food with a louder atmosphere then this might be the place for you. But, if you are a Mediterranean food traditionalist, maybe not. There are much better Mediterranean restaurants.
