| - Today was my first visit to this location. The location is big but tight. The outside seating is nice if you are a people watcher! Inside is decorated with bicycles hanging from the ceiling, colorful lampshades for the overhanging fixtures, painted canvas on the walls. The bar is made from some sort of metal or tin painted with cartoonish figures and designs. Seating is tight but comfortable. The open kitchen and high ceilings bring much space to the restaurant. All the employees were young and hip with beards and leather jackets and stylish scarves. The energy was lively and there was music playing but I couldn't tell what. The volume of the actual room was louder than the music. The hostess was prompt to seat us where we chose. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive and smiled often.
Smiles are contagious :)
We ordered the Falafel on a bed of greens , Black Bean Burger (that will make you fart for 3 seconds straight when you get home) with pita instead of bread/bun, Coconut Curry Soup, Caramelized Cauliflower with Tahini, and Brown Rice. Oh yes, these items were fantastic. It was my first experience with the cauliflower, and it was amazing. Big chunks of steamed cauliflower drizzled in spicy tahini with caramelized onion strings in the middle. I really really like it. I'm going to make it at home now. The falafel is something I have had here before and I always liked how Pita Jungle makes theirs. Can't go wrong with the falafel. The greens were fresh and abundant. The black bean burger was good. It had pieces of corn and cranberry in it so that was pretty rad. Two of my favs. The burger is just an average black bean burger though. And if you are vegan you have to order it with the pita instead of bread/bun (according to the waitress). The burger comes with garlic new potatoes, which are softened potatoes with garlic. I like them, such a healthier alternative to crispy, deep fried french fries. Brown Rice is just brown rice with parsley. Coconut Curry soup was soooo delish. My favorite out of everything today. Creamy curry with chickpeas and peppers and cilantro. Served with two crunchy pita chips on the side. LOVED IT. So good for not making it at home.
I gave this location of Pita Jungle 4 stars because the space was a bit tight and I didn't have like an epiphany or anything while eating my food. I love the Pita Jungle concept of being trendy and hip but also serving fantastic, easy to create, HEALTHY alternatives to the other restaurants near by. Pita Jungle doesn't break your wallet and you leave with a tummy full.
