| - I too am a big Pita Jungle fan, and have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new FLW/Thompson Peak location. I called today around 3 p.m. and placed a take-out order for the lentil fatoush salad, which I've had many, many times at other locations and always thoroughly enjoyed. Upon arriving, I was a bit
surprised to see how small the restaurant actually is, based upon the size of their Shea and Tatum locations - I'm sure it has to be difficult getting a table during typical lunch and dinner times. Also guessing that parking might be an issue; the area right outside the restaurant is not very large. Obviously the Safeway shopping center has other parking areas to handle the overflow but it could potentially be a hike - not ideal when it gets hot. Anyways, long story short, my salad was waiting for me, I paid, and brought it home. Opened it up and discovered they forgot to put in the salad dressing. Ate it without, consoling myself how many fewer calories I was consuming without the dressing, but it was pretty disappointing - the dressing is a huge component of the salad. Also disappointing were the onions in it - the carmelized ones were burnt, and the raw chopped red was overwhelmingly strong. Even the cucumbers had an odd taste to them. I think I'll continue to visit the Shea location until this one has been up and running a bit longer - they seem to have some kinks to iron out.
