Pita Jungle

Came here for lunch at 11:30 on a Monday. Ordered a Strawberry Banana Smoothie, Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus, and a gyro. Food was good and service was fast and friendly. Good spot for a quick and casual bite.

Well this place has been going down hill for a while, my GF and I were in there the other day and the «kid» who was our server was lousy and we had to argue with them to get a free small dip via B-​day coupon my GF had, then they said no substitutions on the free dip… WTF? It really is worth losing repeat customers over a $ 3.99 app promotion… see ya…

Well, we used to love this location but over the last 2 years the food, service, and quality have really gone down hill. Went there a few days ago and had a coupon for a free dip (for bday), it was an act of congress to get what we wanted — maybe new staff, don’t know.
We will not be returning to this location. Shame… miss the beginning years when it was just the Tempe location (before that one went to crap too).

This place has great food and customer service. The humus with the chicken is very good. And the fruit is fresh and delicious the spicy humus is my favorite.

Ate here for the second time today and had the superb Derek as our server. Hubby and I have tried the Philly, black bean burger, garlic potatoes, hummus trio, and turkey burger special. Holy flavor explosion!
I was not a huge fan of either burger (two different visits), primarily because I am not a big onion person and that is a distinct texture and flavor. Due to the sauces and lettuce with dressing on the turkey burger, I would say that it had a bit more taste to it. My husband really liked his Philly pita and the garlic potatoes and hummus trio were wonderful. The small hummus plate was still huge and filling. We did need to order 2 extra pitas to finish it. The cilantro jalepeno hummus was the best by far and I will definitely try a dish with that in/​on it next time.

I love Pita Jungle. I usually get the gyro (substitute with Chicken), but everything is delicious, you can’t go wrong. Cilantro lime hummus is the bomb.

I work across the street and we’ve tried ordering from here several times. I have yet to have a positive experience. Today, I placed a group order for pickup. After picking it up, I realized they’d forgotten part of it. When I called the person on the phone was very rude. She did offer to grab a manager but instead of putting me on hold she just hung up. My previous experiences were similar. The food is okay but the customer service is awful. Do not recommend.

Chicken pasta salad is amazing ! Everything is so delicious def recommend the chipotle chicken pizza

Great hummus. My favorite menu item is the mahi mahi on top of cilantro hummus with sprouts. Great blend of textures and flavors. Waitress was snooty though. Acted like I was wasting her time.

I love Pita Jungle sooo much! I go for the hummus alone, but everything else I’ve ordered has been fabulous. The lentil fatoosh salad is my favorite menu item (besides the hummus trio), but the last three times I’ve had a special… the red quinoa salad. OMG. Best. Salad. Ever. I crave this salad. I wish they’d add it to their regular menu.

PJ is like a music artist who had a hit single or two, then tried to drag it out as long as possible, but subsequent product just wasn’t much …
The gyro is great, the hot pita (especially philly steak), is great. But everything else? Just bizarre combinations of anything except substance — i.e. lacking meat, flour, and whatever else makes life good.
Because I like most people have to admit gyros and pitas are great, I gave it one more chance. But there were a number of problems:
— Old, old building with a cruddy interior makes you feel like why am I paying olive garden pricing (or more) but getting the quality of an old west-​side circle k or something ???
— Hard, wooden chairs that were uncomfortable after about the first 5 minutes.
— Dark lighting, without a corresponding slick mood. Just dark and uncomfortable.
— I got a chipotle chicken pizza (the only thing I could find with real meat in it other than pitas and gyros, and this was DINNER time for me — but that’s the problem with going to lunch places for dinner I guess) … and it was ridiculously spicy. The only dip was cucumber yogurt dip.
I like the pita jungles that are in mall food courts, because they don’t try to pretend to be something they’re not. PJ’s are a good place to get a $ 6 – 8 delicious lunch.
But they need to give up the idea of full service sit-​down restaurants, because that concept just isn’t fulfilled with old buildings and hard uncomfortable seats and a slim, lunch-​y menu and a scarce wait staff that appears to be new to the industry.
This location is just begging for a new owner that is willing to bulldoze the place and re-​build (or remodel), make it comfortable, surrender the idea of full service dinner, open the darn place from 11 to 4, and do a really good job at it.

New favorite date spot!
My husband and I came here for the first time and loved it! We had their muscle special, hummus with cucumbers & gyro. It was so fresh and tasty! Oh and our server was such a nice guy! See you soon pita jungle :)

Mediterranean like food is served here.
My big problem with the place was the big creepy (hat, tats, t shirt) guy standing by the bar staring across the restaurant through our whole meal.
As it turned out the creeper happened to be the owner. Dialing down the creeper factor when you’re at work (even if you own the place) is probably a good idea.

I’ve enjoyed 3 great meals here. The hummus is as smooth as curry. Their house made black bean burger is a real treat and the spinokapita is unbeatable.
I won’t frequent this location for a while because every time I go in there it feels like the kitchen isn’t being supported by the front of the house. Hostesses and their friends congregate at the front bar area, take seating from customers and have long personal conversations.

Really healthy and extensive menu. Great selection and everything was delicious. Appetizer platter, kids meals, macro plate. Yum! Service was quick and helpful. Good lunch destination.

Don’t be afraid to try new things! Lentil fetoosh plus chicken is amazing with fried pita chips! The iced green tea is spectacular! My husband loves the Mahi Mahi and the chicken shawarma. The gyros are great! So is the hummus plate. Pretty good for a date! Weekdays get there before 8!

Have eaten here many times, not only at this location in Gilbert but others as well. Everything was great accept… I called in my order for pick up and Maddilyn said food will be ready in 10 minutes. I waited about 25 or so. Got there to pick up my food and it wasn’t ready, on top of that there was hardly anyone in the place. Safe to say she forgot my order since I had to wait another 15 minutes!!! At least my food was good and hott! :)

Thanks to the recommendation from a friend, I’m finally trying the joint.
The server at the bar immediately assisted by taking our order. My desire to want the Mahi Mahi burger prompted her to suggest a burger not on the (quote unquote) regular menu… The Salmon Burger. Fresh dill. House tartar. Fresh spinach. Steak tomatoes. And I substituted the wheat bun for a wheat pita. The parental ordered the Pesto Pizza while the juvenile ordered a Steak Philly.
While waiting for our order, I inquired about wine choices. No Moscato, but the server politely suggested their house Sangria and provided a generous portion for my sampling pleasure. Needless to say, I ordered a glass while we waited (my glass was filled to the rim). Very tasty and recommended.
Additionally, the server was nice enough to throw in some fresh tomatoes and sliced cucumbers. Crisp and refreshing. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We even shared the cucumbers with the barker, which he thoroughly enjoyed as well.
While I can only speak to the service at the Gilbert location, I’d definitely return and recommend Pita Jungle. This place was clean and the servers were very friendly.
Thanks Benerific for the suggestion!

Sylvia was our server and she did a terrific job! The food was perfect, the atmosphere was casual and sort of trendy. The place was clean and a little noisey.
A solid 5 stars!

Came here with a large group and waited about 15 – 20 minutes for a table of 15. The hummus with grilled chicken $ 10 and the mahi mahi with pita chips $ 11 are my 2 favorite dishes. «Instead of a mahi mahi, can I get just the mahi?» Lol anyone recognize this line?
Good for kids because they have a kids fun kit filled with crayons and a fun sheet.
As usual, all pita jungle locations have local art work on the walls for sale.
