| - Heavenly delicious! Mediterranean cuisine is my favorite. Pita Kitchen has some of the best Mediterranean food I have eaten (and I've eaten a lot in many cities). Live in Chandler but took our friend to dinner here who lives in Avondale after reading the really good Yelp reviews. He's a picky eater, had never eaten Mediterranean before but loved it. He had the Gyro plate with rice and Greek salad. We ordered the Mediterranean sampler platter for an appetizer and it was fabulous. Comes with hummus, baba ghanouj, taziki dip, dolmas, falafel, tabbouli and pita bread. All very fresh and mouth-watering. The pita bread was very soft and warm. The baba ghanouj is out of this world -- smokey, nutty, spicy. I have never been a huge dolma fan, but I was finally won over here. Husband and I had the falafel pita. The falafel was well seasoned and moist, perfect. Hubby also had the Greek fries which put all other fries to shame. I had a few bites and wanted to snag them when he wasn't looking but decided to mind my manners so I didn't end up sleeping on the couch. :-0 The portions are good size with reasonable prices. Very courteous staff who greet you with a pleasant smile and check on you even though it's a counter order style restaurant. Very clean with nice ambiance for a small, fast food restaurant even though I don't put it in the same category as fast food. We will definitely make the near-hour trip again just to eat here...oh and to visit our friend. Tried to convince the owner to put their next location near Chandler. Maybe we will have to start a petition for that. Haha! At any rate, highly recommend giving it a try. Works well as a family restaurant (kid-friendly menu), dinner dates, for vegitarians/vegans, take-out or catering. Just writing this review is making my mouth water. Just might have to make the drive to Avondale today. Nom Nom!
