Popular casual chain pita spot. 3.5 stars
Food: 3.3, Atmosphere: 3.5
Cost to worth it rating: 3 (~$8 pita)
Return worthiness: yes
Eve award: best non-dairy garlicky sauce
Highlights:
- Garlic sauce: obsessed with their version as it's not cream-based. Has garlic, mashed potato, olive oil, and lemon. Simple, refreshing, and delicious--and friendly to the lactose intolerant crowd. Pitas would just be average and boring without it.
- Outside patio: love the tall fire tube heaters as they look really cool
- Buzzing atmosphere: lively place to go
- Portions: huge pita
Lowlights:
- Babaganoush: always love this dip but they put yogurt in there so couldn't have their version
- Tahini: bit too much spice included, I like the traditional pure light brown sesame
- Long wait: the hub went to get takeout and order took a half an hour--another guy waited 45 minutes!
I'd try it again to get more of that garlic sauce and come for dinner to sit on the patio.
