Pita Way

If you want to get your Greek cravings here in Anderson SC and don’t want to do the drive to Greenville this is your place to get those cravings out! Don’t get fooled with the appearance, the food is definitely good and authentic! Love there sweet tea, very original! Give pita way a try seriously it’s worth it!

Yes the building is old. I eat there on a regular basis and have never seen a bug. Great food that you probably can’t get anywhere else in town. He ran this out of a previous location near the hospital. It was closed for a long time. The first time I went in after he reopened he remembered my favorite order and what I like to eat. Always freshly prepared and great portions. Please go in and eat a meal with «Sam» you will want to come back I promise.

Never judge a book by its cover, image isn’t everything, and refuse to believe that the exterior of a restaurant tells the story of what is produced inside. What was once a Waffle House at some point, years ago, is now home to a hidden gem. Pita Way is authentic Mediterranean food on a budget, but it is short on cost and long on taste. Isn’t that what we truly want?
In a time when Mediterranean cuisine is seemingly all the rage in some communities, a diner can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting a restaurant that serves something resembling a gyro and considers itself kitschy and worthy of praise from anyone who darkens their door instead of wandering into the fast food joint down the street. But simply offering a gyro is a far cry from actually serving authentic Mediterranean food.
Pita Way, however, is legitimate, budget Mediterranean fare, and plenty of bang for your buck
Wherever I go, if I have the opportunity to order chicken shawarma, as a pita, a plate, a wrap, a sandwich, or whatever incarnation the kitchen can think up, I am going to do so. As a foodie/​food critic/​reviewer/​snob, your favorite items are always judges by your highest standards. I am struck by the contrast that Pita Way brings to its diners. Such an unassuming appearance on the outside, and such quality on the inside. The chicken shawarma pita is remarkably good, rich in flavor, freshly cooked, seasoned well but not overly so, which tends to be the downfall of so many dishes, Mediterranean or otherwise. The garlic sauce is excellent, and it made me smile to see it doled out from a mayonnaise jar, evidence of the fact that this place, in every way, is an example of substance over flash, a pleasant change from the litany of places whose focus skews in the opposite manner. The pita is stacked with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and garlic sauce, resulting in exactly what I sought: a simple, filling dish at a bargain price. That very fact is why I made sure to make a return trip on my way out of town, not knowing when I would be back through Anderson again.
The service was friendly, fast, and attentive and the cherry on top of the dining experience. On my first visit, the owner himself was handling the cooking as well as the service. There’s just something about someone who looks and sounds the part when you’re at a place that serves cuisine from a specific region, with the mustache, the accent, and the pleasant disposition. For whatever reason, it makes the visit just a little more memorable. There was another man there the second time around, and the attention paid to our table’s every need was exceptional.
Whether or not my next trip south will take me through Anderson remains to be seen, but if I find myself within a half an hour of Pita Way, ahead of schedule and on an empty stomach, I’m sure the GPS will be temporarily reprogrammed.

I’ve lived in Anderson for over a year and drive by this place 2x a day. I’ve never stopped because it is usually empty. I FINALLY got takeout from here tonight and kick myself for not trying this place sooner. I had no idea that I could get good falafel, tabbouleh, and hummus in Anderson, SC. There are plenty of vegetarian options here, which is terrific.
The owner was super friendly. The restaurant is older, so don’t expect much in ambiance. This restaurant gets good reviews on other places on the internet, so don’t just look on Unilocal for feedback on this restaurant.

Pita Way is the way that good should be! Excellent, flavorful food! The man that owns the place there is friendly, kind, and always willing to explain the dishes to you. Your drink is never empty. My husband and I absolutely LOVE this place. His prices are incredible as well.

Bugs bugs bugs not clean at all

Think Waffle House, but with Greek food (and I like the Waffle House). It’s not fancy, and the building definitely shows its age, but it’s clean and obviously well kept. It’s good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service.
