    Delicious and super filling. The salad was my favorite. Great presentation too! Staff is very kind too. ☺️

    Absolutely delicious! I ordered the lamb gyro with spicy sauce and it was super delicious. I also ordered a side of the lemon soup and that was absolutely superb. The fries were a surprise at how good and crisp they were as well.

    Update: came back 3 weeks later and I am sorry to say the food quality was not the same. The lamb meat was charred. The potatoes under done. I went back and told them the potatoes were not done and they replaced them with a smaller portion of equally uncooked potatoes. I am switching my 5 stars for 1 start. I won't return...disappointed... Delicious food. The salad is not your traditional Greek salad but it is excellent. The flavors were perfect and the portion are generous. The burger special has a spicy cheese sauce to die for. Will definitely come back.

    Pita GR:Greek Street Food is the best place for Greek or Mediterranean food. Everything is made fresh daily and also made to order. Their lamb Gyro is amazing good so much flavors in the Gyro. They also have classic Greek items.

    Very flavorful and decent portions. If you're not sure what to get, I got the authentic lamb pita with everything on/in it. It comes with seasoned fries that are actually VERY good. Using ketchup on the seasoned fries would actually ruin the flavor. Drinks are not included in your meals, but I'd get one, and fill it with the stubborn agave cream soda at the fountain. It is so good I just ordered a case from Amazon. I will be returning.

    So good and located in a great location! I got the lamb gyro plate (pictured). It was wonderful! My hubby got the burger (not pictured because he dug in so fast). He said after he inhaled it, "Whoever created this burger knew what they were doing. It's the best burger I've ever eaten."

    Hummus was delicious, salad was on point. Falafel was to die for. But then I get some microwaved chicken that even my daughter would finish and still be hungry. Literally hardly any chicken. I always pay around the same when I get Mediterranean food but this was not worth it. It was as if they just sprinkled chicken over a pile of rice. I wouldn't go back because if they are cheap with their portions now it's only a matter of time until they get cheap with the food they purchase and try to sell. 2/10

    Love this place, plan on making this one of my favorite places to eat. Service was good, food was delicious and it was a very clean place. First time here and already can't wait to go back. Had the large Zeus fries with chicken (Zeus it up) and it was enough for 3 people to eat. I went here again and ordered the lamb chops with a whole plate of food which was $5 extra. Everything tastes good just didn't realize it would cost almost $50 for two plates with lamb chops.

    Highly recommend this place if your looking for Greek food. I order Beef Lamb Gyro with Loux lime drink. It was refreshing and the food was on point. Loved the Tzatziki dip ❤️🙌

    Barely saw the sign for this place but decided I had to try it. Inside was updated and clean with visibility to the kitchen. I tried the beef/lamb gyro and was very impressed with the portion. The fries were seasoned and lightly covered with cheese. They were DELICIOUS. The gyro had a perfect combination of savory beef/lamb gyro, fresh cucumber and tomato “slaw” with dill, pickled red onion, creamy avocado, and spicy tatziki. It was incredible; I will definitely be stopping by here more often! Also, the menu has several catering options for parties of different sizes.

    I've been to great greek food restaurants and had great greek food. This is not one of them. I realize there is a distinct difference between fast food and home made but in either case overcooked and burnt food is NOT acceptable. As always, I believe in second chances. Maybe the cook was having a bad day (who doesn't). Maybe it was luck of the draw..idk second time around will tell. Service is what is expected of a quasi fast food /sit down restaurant One thing is certain, know what you want PRIOR to ordering to avoid awkward hold up and ordering. On the bright side (because everything has a positive) the cucumber water was great! As was the baklava!! 🔥 Cost is a bit inflated. Two plates, two drinks, and a pastry...$53 NoPozWow (lunch time) Place is clean and friendly. Ample parking... Enjoy!

    We enjoyed our lunch here today. Husband had the lamb gyro, which comes with fries. We were told the GR potatoes were good so we substituted. They are lemony and tangy. Husband said the gyro was good. I had the beet salad. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the dressing was lighter. I love beets and the dressing overpowered the beet flavor. We might be back to try other items. The place was nice and clean and service was good.

    Best if you know Greek food & know what to order. The menu on the wall describes some of it though the cashier wasn't descriptive to encourage our purchase. I took a chance on a lamb salad & loved it! Fresh ingredients & plenty for me. The cucumber lemonade was good too, a bit rich. Must put plenty of ice.

  • 5/5 Jasmin L. 1 year ago on Google
    I Love all the dishes here they are packed with flavor and so fresh. Surprisingly I was taken back by the beet salad. Never have I tasted something so good. It's like art in your mouth full of flavor and texture. I highly recommended. The only thing I didn't like like was the red wine. Their food is way to awesome for that wine.

    Visiting family in the area and was looking for something delicious and healthy to eat. I have to give this one to my wife who found it, The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, the food was delicious and the prices were on point! If you want to some delicious Mediterranean chow at reasonable prices you gotta stop by especially if you're an out of towner.

    I adore this place. Joined my boyfriend on a trip to downey just to be able to get their Beet Salad 😍. Its a delicious combination of beets, feta, dill, honey, and any delicious ingredients that they add. The Zeus Fries are perfect and love getting them smothered. The lady up front is very knowledgeable about gluten (she even warned me of the rice having gluten). The fresh juice blends and unique sodas are awesome too. 10/10 and will always be back!

    Good option in the area. The halloumi and the greek potatoes are the best, everything else is kind of mid but satisfactory. Only thing i’ve regretted ordering were the zucchini chips, they were pure grease. Service is always good and portions are pretty big. Clean spot.

    The establishment is clean and well kept. The food was ok. I ordered the beef/lamb plate. It was dry.

    My first time at Pita GR and I loved! Arrived by myself and found an amazing environment, great atmosphere and the food is deliciously incredible. My lamb, salad, rice, fries, humus was something else…. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu with my crew! I also saw some other amazing dishes coming out the kitchen. Congratulations for the whole restaurant and staff!

    First time at this location, and I fell in love with the food. This is not traditional Greek food, but it is fantastic none the less. The service was very helpful, and the portion sizes were filling. I will be back many more times.
