| - This was my first trip to any Pita Jungle and I am intrigued. I will probably go back again and may either bump this up one or be satisfied with a 3.
The great:
Coconut curry soup. Flavorful, creamy, and just overall tasty. Good enough that I went home and made a pot of coconut curry and chic pea soup.
The good:
The shwarma wrap. I enjoyed the toasted wrap. That said, my dad is Lebanese so I get a bit picky. The wrap that comes with the salad does not have pickles, tahini or garlic sauce. It is probably a decision because of the cooking method but without at least 2 of those 3 it was missing something for me. That said, the pita tasted great and had a nice crunch.
The less good:
The pesto pizza. My wife ordered the pesto pizza. It was $7.49. It was a pita that was the size of a small plate with pesto, a bit of melted cheese, and 4 slices of tomato. She said it tasted good but the size was a bit underwhelming for the price. I have made enough pesto to realize that it is an expensive sauce, especially if they are using pine nuts. But the size made her think appetizer. She was looking for a meal.
Overall, the food was good. My complaints are mostly nit-picky. I would like to see that pesto pizza labeled as an app rather than a main dish or come with a little something else (the wife is not a bit eater and if she is calling something small, that is saying something!) on the side. I plan to go back, try something different, and hope that I can get something else as good as that soup next time. If so, I'll happily increase this review!
