Pitas

It’s ok. It’s close to my office so my coworkers choose it often. It’s not really Greek, more like Greek-​style burgers and fries, and gyros. It’s not amazing but not bad. Very casual place where you order at a counter. If you’re interested in places like Bourbon or Cantina 76 you prob won’t be impressed but if you like fast food you might be impressed.

One of my favorite restaurants in Columbia! The food NEVER disappoints. The specials are always delicious! The chicken is always perfectly cooked, the rice is my favorite, the greek pizza is the bomb… I cant say enough good things about this place!

Somewhat off the beaten path, but well worth the detour. Serves up excellent Lebanese food.

My wife and I decided to check this place out for a quick bite. The food and service were great. We had a hummus appetizer, a Gyro wrap, and a Lebanese Chicken wrap with sides of pasta salad. The food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I like Pitas a lot. I’ve only ever gotten the Gyro. The pasta salad is very good, lots of feta cheese on it.

Bland food. Small portions. I wouldn’t make this up. Server was good, but food needs to be worked on. $ 7.95 got me a Gyro that left me still hungry. The flavor was OK, but nothing exciting. I’ll give 3 stars because maybe they were having a bad day or maybe I ordered the one thing that isn’t that great there. I have a feeling that unsuspecting hungry downtown office workers looking for anything other than burgers keep this place in business.

Falafel and pasta salad for lunch, was delicious. Service was great, proces were reasonable. Will be returning

First time trying… drive by it every day on way to work… called today to order take out for lunch… picked up right away, took order-​very helpful-​order was ready 3 minutes later when I arrived! Food tastes very fresh and super yummy!!! I WILL be back!!!

Overpriced. Not authentic Greek food. Sub-​par pita bread. I would go somewhere else. Very much Americanized Greek food. Definitely not my idea of good Greek food.

I just had lunch here. My server was terrific — can’t say enough nice things about her, and am sorry I didn’t get her name. Service was excellent, quick, and attentive.
The gyro sandwich was tasty, but the pita was terrible! It was so DOUGH. It reminded me of a hamburger bun. That pita is the only thing that would keep me from returning — or, next time, I’ll just order a salad, and skip the pita altogether.
Apart from that, the place seems clean and bright.

Murm was exceptional in walking us through the menu. I had the lam schwarma. My wife had the chicken Taziki wrap with babaganush and falafels as sides. The service was über quick, and the food was REALLY delicious. I will come here every time I am in the area, AND they offer a ACtive Duty military discount!

I liked the open space for dining and you can see right into the kitchen.
I loved the contemporary dinnerware but they could upgrade the paper napkins to a nicer quality to match.
The service was quick, friendly, and efficient. They got all 5 orders correct.
I got the Sampler Platter appetizer (sans tzatziki sauce to make it vegan) and they immediately offered me more of another side (Wow! No one does that) so I got extra veggies which was awesome because I used the sliced cucumbers instead of the pita bread for my hummus and baba ghanouj. I thought everything was very tasty and the tabouli was packed with fresh chopped herbs and flavor.
It is 0.8 miles from Providence hospital and we were in and out in an hour. I recommend!

I have went to some great Mediterranean /​Greek places and this is not one of them.
So I can only guess that I didn’t order the best thing in the place since there are others that have reviewed this place and have liked it. I ate there yesterday for lunch and I ordered a chicken gyro and an order of pita/​hummus. The Greek sauce is good, the chicken had an odd texture and the pita was totally dried out. I tried to eat the gyro and the pita just fell apart and I had to eat it like a salad — that is fine, but not what I ordered. The other order of hummus/​pita was just as disappointing. The hummus was much more watery/​runny that it should be and again, this pita that they gave me for it was dried out… at least the hummus helped :-) Note, the hummus had little/​no flavor — quite surprising.
And for the price? $ 15.57 — really, for a gyro, a little bit of fries, and some hummus? WOW, I guess if they can get it and stay in business, it must work for them. My guess is that this place stays in business by being «just good enough» for the people close enough at work to grab something to stave off the hunger pains until they can get home to some real food.
I would suggest that if you do eat here, don’t order what I did.
The guy that took my order was nice and the place was clean, but with other places around for lunch, I won’t ever be stopping in this place again.

Great Lebanese food, run by folks who enjoy what they do.
Most importantly, THEY MAKE THEIR OWN PITA BREAD. yeah… they don’t bring it in — it’s done right there. Only place I know in Columbia…
Décor is rather sparse and plain, but it works. I get the gyro or falafal — both are great…

When you have a craving for the freshest Mediterranean food in Columbia, Pitas should be the place that pops up in your mind.
The Greek Pizza and Gyro are two of my favorite items on the menu. The pita bread is amazing (made in-​house). Tzatziki is always a great choice, too. Sweet tea always tastes great.
Prices are incredibly on par. A couple can easily eat for $ 20 – 25 and walk away full.
Parking is easy and free in their private lot, but can get tight during the busy lunch hour. That being said, there are 10+ street meters adjacent to Pitas always available for overflow parking.
Location is great, just a few blocks away from Palmetto Health Baptist Hospital.
One of the two owners is a cardiologist, so you can feel good knowing that the food served here is (mostly) heart healthy.
Have dined here many times, and have also ordered takeout. Both experiences always exceed expectations.
Highly recommend Pitas.

Sorry, but it was awful! Maybe I ordered the wrong thing because the place was crowded. Worst pita bread ever, so tough and chewy. I ordered the chicken pita and the chicken had so much gristle, I had to take it out of the sandwich and trim it, and WAY too salty. Had rice as a side dish and the rice tasted like chicken?! Must have cooked it in chicken broth and added MSG. An hour later I was SO thirsty! Ick. won’t be back…

I have worked two blocks from this place for 3 ½ years and am kicking myself for not trying it sooner. I read the mostly favorable reviews and decided to go. Wow. Every compliment is true– super fresh food including crisp greens and a soft and chewy pita. On a whim I got the soup of the day (a 15 bean soup with bacon and sausage) to go and am so glad I did. Very flavorful. The only disappointment was the cocktail weenie type sausage. Didn’t affect the flavor, just weird. This will be a place I return to frequently. Get past the lack of ambiance and try it, it doesn’t disappoint!

This is quickly becoming one of our favorite go to places for Greek food. Everything we have ever eaten from here has been spot on! Our favorite dishes include the kafta dinner, the gyro (of course) and their pizzas! They make their pizzas on their awesome homemade pita bread so they are kind of more like an appetizer but totally delicious. Also their hummus and dolmas are great as well. We have always gotten takeout here so I can’t speak for the service but the people who run the place are alwàys nice. I even got a free piece of backlava after ordering a big takeout order. Good portion sizes as well. This place is definitely worth a try!

Other than the weird stiff upper lip when I asked if there was any coffee during the lunch hour (there was) the food here was great. The hummus was a little tahini heavy, but that’s okay, just watch out. I got the veggie gyro and it was delicious. I wish I had ordered the falafel gyro because I tasted it and it was very, very, very, very awesome. I would come here all the time if I lived in Col’a.

Boyfriend and I both thought the food was very fresh and tasty. The tzatziki burger was excellent and Boyfriend loved his gyro. The pita bread is the best I’ve ever had. The hummus is tasty but I think I prefer the hummus at Devine Foods. The prices are reasonable and they do have some traditional Greek food items for sale including freshly made pita bread! :-)
