| - Crazy Pita is a casual, no-fuss place to eat good, healthy Mediterranean/Greek food that tastes fresh and simple. You order at the counter, sit down at a table of your choice, and then wait for your order to be brought. When you're done eating, they clean up after you. Fast food, but with higher quality ingredients and higher prices- thumbs up in my book of good eats.
I ordered the Salmon Skewer (on the specials menu)- one skewer of grilled salmon cubes marinated in a blend of lemon, herbs & spices (I think) served atop a bed of seasoned couscous and steamed zucchini & orange squash, and comes with a side of Feta Salad and Hummus (with your choice of Regular or Whole Wheat Pita slices).
Salmon Skewer- The salmon tasted fresh, but a little too salty; however, when eaten together with the mild-tasting couscous, the saltiness balanced out.
Couscous Mix- The couscous was lightly-flavored (maybe with chicken stock), and while I enjoyed the steamed orange squash (Butternut Squash, I believe), I didn't enjoy the overly-mushy zucchini.
Feta Salad- Diced tomatoes, cucumbers & red onions, Bulgarian Feta Cheese & Kalamata Olives tossed in a light dressing and served atop a few pieces of Romaine lettuce. Pretty good. I could've done without the two pieces of lettuce that sat beneath the cucumber/tomato mix though. They looked like they were there for decoration, not part of the salad.
Hummus with Pita Bread- The hummus was good, but I wish the pita bread was fluffier/softer.
My mom ordered the Chicken Pita which comes with a side of Fries. If you like McDonald's fries, you'll like the fries at Crazy Pita. The fries were crispy, crunchy, piping hot...everything a fry should be.They were my favorite part of the meal; the fries get one whole star all to themselves.
I think the next time I go, I'll try the chicken skewer or pita with a side of fries (of course). Also, I really liked the utensil dispensers (my first time seeing these), and wish that every fast food place has them installed sometime soon.
