Pita Jungle

Stars as follows:
1.) They have a great happy hour which allows me to sample new foods/​foods. Drinks are standard but good price.
2.) Staff is nice
3.) ordered the fruit Fantasia and it was beautiful and delicious.
Stars taken off as follows:
1.) Ordered a Falafel pita which contained 4 pieces of falafel that were very bitter and not fresh at all. It was gross. They put more lettuce in the pita than anything. It was a lettuce pita.
2.) My bf ordered the chicken tikka masala which did not taste like that dish at all. The coconut was waaaay to over powering.
P.S– if you don’t eat the pita quick enough it gets very hard and stays hard.

First timer at Pita Jungle today. The atmosphere of this place is very inviting. Went for lunch and even though it seemed pretty busy, I was seated right away. The employees were extremely friendly and always asking if I needed anything extra. Wait time for the food was very short. The food was reeeaaallllly good! The portion sizes are HUGE! I couldn’t even finish half of my wrap but that just makes it super awesome to be able to take it home for left overs!
All in all, this place is great for all types of ages! Very welcoming and the speedy service makes it great to bring children as well!
Will definitely be going back! Two thumbs up for Pita Jungle!

This is probably my favorite Pita Jungle location. When I arrived, a hostess was there to greet me and my family, and she said it would be about a 20 minute wait, but it ended up being only 10 minutes. After we sat down, a waitress promptly arrived and got our drink order, and the drinks came out within 2 minutes. The food was good, I had the gyro. The only reason I give 4 stars was because the wait for the food was a little long for a sandwich, but they were busy. The food is yummy, the staff is prompt and friendly, and the space has nice ambiance and is clean. I would recommend.

I bought a Black Bean Burger, worst sandwich ever. It was so mushy I had to eat it with a fork and a spoon. If you want good Black Bean Burger patties buy them at Costco or Trader Joe’s. Don’t they know it’s suppose to be handled like a burger between buns. What the heck!

I can’t say one bad thing about this place. the food is amazing and the service is awesome. Love this place.

I usually eat at the dive Greek mom & pop restaurants, but I noticed that Pita Jungle is ALWAYS busy, so I thought I’d try it. This isn’t really authentic Greek food, maybe like the Olive Garden of Greek Mediterranean.
The chicken pita was fine, but the flimsy pickle spears in the pita was odd, maybe this is a fancy version in lieu of cucumber slices? I’m open to trying a different version. There were a plentiful amount of fresh baby greens in the pita. This cubed chicken was broiled. Overall, the price was reasonable as well as the portion.
The service was fine. The hostess was friendly. Why was this place was SO loud? Is it from everyone in the entire place having conversations all at once? I couldn’t even hear what my friend was saying from across the table.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience and the food wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t for me. I’m glad I tried Pita Jungle.

I went to Pita Jungle on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. There was a fifteen minute wait for a table for two. No big deal it was packed for Sunday lunch time!
Our server was very nice. She attended to all of our needs. I don’t remember if she told me her name or not. The staff there is usually pretty nice.
Me and my brother started off with a small hummus duo and ordered pita chips with them. They are so delicious and it was my brothers first time trying them and he enjoyed it! For my main course, I had the taboule salad with chicken and my bro ordered the gyro. My salad was delicious and fresh. My brothers meal said it lacked pizzazz. It needed more flavor and meat.
The restaurant smells funky all the time and I cannot pinpoint what it is. It’s like… Stuffy bleach? Not sure but it smells weird.
Anywho, I love going to PIta Jungle. It’s great.

Always great each time I come in I work in the restaurant industry and the kitchen always looks amazing and so is the food I love it

Pretty good. The food isn’t bad and portions are great! It’s very affordable for a sit down place. I wasn’t expecting much since I don’t usually eat pita’s. Its a tasty option for anyone who wants something healthy. The pictures people are taking here are pretty accurate.
they have items other than pita’s, but they didn’t like that great.

Pita Jungle usually delivers. It’s mediocre. Always good but never knocks my socks off. Chicken tikka masala is pretty good as well as a normal gyro. It’s solid if you want to go somewhere cheap but still be in a restaurant setting.

The Pita Jungle has several tasty looking dishes on the menu that made it hard to decide where to start and thats a good thing. The server we had was very attentive and personable and was able to make some recomendations, so Kudos to our server.
The kitchen’s quality control was horrible. My daughter ordered the Mac and Cheese, however when it arrived my daughter said it was not hot. I sampled her plate and it was easily room temp when served. Our server quickly addressed that and brought back a hot serving.
I ordered the curried chicken salad and the curried chicken tasted great, but the rest of the salad suffered. The salad seemed a little dry, and I realized it was missing the lemon vinagrette. Our server quickly brought me some and that brightened up the salad. The salad also includes rice, and I would expect the rice to be cooked and relatively fresh. However, I soon found myself crunching on what seemed to be dried out rice. it had been cooked once, but then dried out. Not a plesant experience. The salad also included grapes, and I would expect the chef to ensure that the stems were removed, but unfortunately that was not the case. Ugh.
Normally any one mistake could be overlooked, but cold pasta that should be hot and then an improperly dressed salad which included dry crunchy rice and grape stems that had not removed is just too many screwups and all point to a lack of quality control in the kitchen.
Its a real shame, The food options look good, but with poor food quality its a disappointment in my opinion.

Food great as always
TOO LOUD
Whether it’s True Food or Pita Jungle which create really good food. I don’t understand why they don’t understand that a healthy environment is also important. Everyone’s voices bouncing off the ceiling is not healthy.
Substituting aliveness for noise not a good swap
Comfy relaxed booths would be awesome.

I went to Pita Jungle yesterday for a friends going away lunch & let me tell you, we picked the right spot!!! The atmosphere was very nice and calming. Perfect for catching up & very clean looking. The staff were all very nice, our friend ordered something that was mixed up & they immediately fixed it and brought out her meal. Totally understanding about It. I love Greek food and I will definitely be back here.
I had the gyro and the 3 sides of the different hummus. DELICIOUS!
I recommend Pita Jungle to anyone!

Love this place. I have been here numerous times since they opened their doors. My kids love this restaurant too. The added pickles to the gyro is such a nice pop to the wrap. We always order the cilantro hummus with extra pitas. If you’re in the mood for a fast, casual lunch come to Pita Jungle. Smoothies are great too. A great idea is to eat here before or after entering Arrowhead Mall. The food is so much better than anything offered inside.

2^nd time here! 2^nd day in a row!!! CONSECUTIVELY AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!
Today I tried the pesto pizza… which my server highly recommended and happily amended for me haha
…no cheese, added tofu and it was AWESOME!
She even brought a HUGE side of extra pesto sauce without me requesting it!
I can’t say enough great things about this place! They make eating clean, healthy and vegan-​ish sooo easy!

This place has always been a long time fav. Especially when I was pregnant I craved the Broiled Chicken Salad with Lemon vinaigrette. The tangy goodness mixed with the broiled chicken and fresh greens was absolutely heavenly. In my opinion you’d be hard-​pressed to find another salad this great in the Phoenix metro area.
Amazing food !!
Love the kids meal with the proper portions of fruit, vegetables, a grain and meat (with the tofu option)… Even my picky toddlers are willing to eat it.
I’m not a big pita fan so I can’t give u my personal feedback there, however I do know that everytime I go there with someone they comment on how good their pitas are!
Every time I’ve been there I find that the waitstaff is courteous, friendly and attentive to your needs.

It is nice to eat where they are happy to accommodate requests. I made a comment about the «exploding» spicy chicken pita and the waitress told me how to order it to avoid the problem. My wife and our server then had a nice two minute conversation about how things migrate from the specials menu to the main menu.
One negative, the place is crazy nosy! They need some sound deadening. Back to the positive: The service is good, food is tasty and it is served hot. I like it.

I truly wish I could love this location as much as I love, love, love the one at Desert Ridge. But, I just don’t :/​I took my son for lunch, it’s enough to break him out of his normal go-​to favorites but I thought for sure he’d be a convert… not so much. The chicken gyro wrap was all bread and under-​seasoned chicken. And it took a loooong time to get to the table. I had the garlic mushrooms, hummus with cukes, and dolmades… flavor same as usual, but also a big delay for items I’m pretty sure are pre-​made each day. Granted, this visit was during the holiday shopping rush, so maybe the staff was frazzled. But, I feel the location lacks personality overall and could use some pep in the step! Not to be overlooked… HH tapas and house wines are still totally the perfect meal at any of their Phoenix locations :)
***REVISED REVIEW TO FOLLOW:
I returned to PJ Glendale last weekend with my son and we were both much happier with the speed of service, quality of food, plus the atmosphere overall. On this visit, tried the Pinot Grigio alongside the Grilled Veg Salad (I added grilled tofu — great addition!)…it was a tasty combination overall with an abundance of garden favorites. My son ordered the Chipotle Chicken Flatbread Pizza… he enjoyed it and was surprised at how much meat was on it… the only downfall was the level of spice, too much for he & I both, but that’s always a personal choice and the name alone told us to expect some heat. His soda was refilled twice as needed and by a server who had a great disposition despite a busy Saturday evening crowd.
Thank you, Pita Jungle, for restoring my love of The Med!

Can’t go wrong here for dinner! I think my to go to dish here is the jalapeño hummus and the black bean burger!!! TWO THUMBS UP.
service was great. Quick in and out really. :)

Hummus had mold in it. I told the server, and he just asked if I wanted more of the moldy hummus :(The dolmas had no flavor. Tasted like they were soaked in water. So disgusting! The tahini roasted cauliflower was alright but bland.
Though we did have some menu highlights, fresh tabouli and Tzaiki sauce, the food was not fresh and the kids running the restaurant do the bare minimum to «make it right». I doubt they actually make anything in house here. On top of this, the parking lot is a bit of a nightmare to navigate. Needless to say, too many good restaurants to come back to this yucky one. Will definitely pass in the future.
P. S.- Bettina, not sure how to message you through the Unilocal app, but it was definitely not cilantro. It was an overwhelming musty flavor in the hummus that can’t be mistaken for anything other than mold.
I told the waiter thinking it was the pita originally. He offerefmd to get me more of the same kind, but I declined. He confirmed that none of the pita was made in-​house, but offered to get me some of the other kind of pita instead (without the pocket), so I obliged. When I dipped it into the hummus, and it still tasted like mildew/​must, according to both me and my mother, we deducted that it had to be the hummus that was the mold culprit.
I was just there ¹²⁄₁₈ at about 1 pm, and we sat on the patio. My waiter was about 5’4, male, dark hair, thin build, kinda hipster looking. Hope you can look into this so it doesn’t happen again. This experience was truely gross.
