Have to admit to having anxiously awaited the opening of The Desert Pita for quite some time. Beyond your typical fast food options, there is not a lot around here to grab quickly at lunch - especially if you are looking to walk.
The Desert Pita is a welcome addition to this industrial area. As well as being a new place, it is nice to have a new cuisine option as well - Lebanese!
There menu is varied. Offering anything from little nibbles, to salads, pitas & full out platters of foods. All the favorites are there - shawarmas, falafel, donairs, etc.
I checked it out on what must have been one of their opening days (balloons & flowers everywhere, with what I am assuming was the owner handing out free cans of pop to those ordering food.)
Service was quick & friendly. Food all looked fresh. Being a falafel lover, my decision was easy & I opted for a falafel pita. However it was difficult to pass by all the other options as well. Especially the grill, salad display (not to mention the baklava near the till!) My falafel pita was made to order & then warmed up in a press. Definitely no complaints. Fresh & tasty. Just how I like it.
My lunch partner said that the chicken shawarma pita was most excellent as well. I enviously eyed all the donairs that passed me as well as we sat & ate. The platters looked to be enormous (definitely more than I could eat!)
Was so happy with my new lunch option that I grabbed a menu to leave in the lunchroom at work. I was thanked for taking one with me - nice touch! I like a place where the staff make you feel good about visiting them.
