| - By simply hearing the name, one would think this place is some sort of Middle Eastern knockoff chain, but Pita Jungle is no such thing. The fresh and flavorful food is a wonderful oasis in the desert of Arizona. Pita J serves up large portions of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly fare without sacrificing any flavor.
My table ordered the hummus sampler (original, sun dried tomato, and jalapeƱo) which was wonderful. Though a much trendier take on hummus than it's authentic counterpart, the flavor profiles were all still there. For my entree, I ordered the roasted vegetable salad with chicken shawarma. The vegetables were grilled to perfection with the perfect amount of caramelization. The chicken, however, was by no means shawarma, rather wonderfully seasoned chicken breast (which I did not mind). The lemon vinaigrette topped off the salad with an excellent, tangy twist.
Though this place is not traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, my meal was still great. Next time I visit ASU, I know I will be returning to Pita J.
