| - After hearing lovely things about Pita Grill from Tiffany N., and considering its proximity to my workplace, I ventured off to Pita Grill on my lunch break yesterday, for some rainy day falafel.
I have to first say, that this was a very strange trek for me. Riverbend is actually the area my family first lived in when we made the pilgrimmage over to Calgary from my homelands of Sicamous BC. It was strange to see that not a lot in the area had changed from the early nineties; same Boston Pizza, same vet clinic, I swear the same dollar store, the only thing missing was my favourite video store as a kid, where I would always rent Rainbow Brite only. It was at this video store where I first begged my dad to let me try a sip of his Coca Cola and I got sick in the car and on the stairs when I got home. But I digress.
Filled with all of these clearly pleasant nostalgic images in my mind, I pulled into the parking lot and walked into Pita Grill. I was surprised to see it so busy at 3:30 pm on a Thursday, but maybe the neighbourhood is already aware of its awesomeness! There are four sizes for wraps here. I ordered the medium, feeling as though I was up for the challenge. My. Good. Science. I don't know if I've ever been served such a large falafel, and there were still two sizes to follow this one....a large and a jumbo! If I am ever sharing with someone, I would consider ordering the jumbo just to see how big it actually is. Hahahah.
The gentleman making my falafel was extremely pleasant, and when I informed him I was vegan, he double checked twice that meant that I couldn't have dairy either, and prepared my falafel accordingly.
Not wanting to embarass myself by digging into this falafel and making a mess out of things in my office, I took a bite of this falafel in my car before taking off to gauge how messy it was. Horrible idea, as I dropped little falafel and hummus pieces all over my lap. But seriously, this thing was so delicious, it was worth it. I did end up finishing this falafel wrap. It was pretty much the only thing I'd eaten all day, but it put me into a food induced comatose for the rest of the evening when I got home.
I guess it's a good thing, just warming up for Thanksgiving over the weekend.
I will be back to try some of their other veggie-friendly fares, such as vegetarian samosas, dolmades, tabouli salad, etc. For omnis and those who can have cheese, it looks like these guys also have some good looking pizzas! This is a great alternative to many of the other chain establishments in the area! I highly recommend Pita Grill.
