    The food was incredibly delicious! The staff is friendly and really patient giving us instructions since this was our first time visit here (and definitely not the last time ❤️) If you are looking for a place to get delicious food and also healthy, look no further!! This is the one! 🥰

    Was in Ottawa today from Kingston for business reasons, and my Ottawa colleague recommended take out from PI•RHO Grill for lunch. Wasn't familiar with this restaurant, but after reviewing the online menu, I was interested. I ordered a pita, customized with some my favourite ingredients. It was delicious! Truly the best pita I've had!! I sure hope that Kingston is on your shortlist of new locations for a PI•RHO Grill. I believe it would do very well here. Here's hoping....

    My friend and I had never been there before, so they walked us through every step of the process and we didn't feel stressed or like we were being annoying, which was wonderful. Amazing service, really kind staff, and the food was amazing too.

    The food is so fresh and there's so many toppings and flavors to choose from! This is so great for a hot day and you want something cool and fresh. Definitely left feeling healthy! It's in the level of chipotle or mad radish except it's Greek flavours!

    Great for a quick stop if you're visiting Ottawa. I've got a bowl of spicy lamb and beef and it was delicious. Ask Lucas and he'll give you the best recommendations! Steet parking is free Sat/Sun.

    The food served here was a very nice departure from deep fried food. Everything was fresh, wholesome & healthy. Loved the cooked lamb with raw spinach & herbs. Staff was helpful in his to order. Ok was like a Subway style where you can choose anything you see in front of you.

    I've been coming here for a long time and have always loved it, however the past two times (I wouldn't review if it was just once) were not up to Pirho standards. Something tasted off in my chicken bowl, there was very little greens and it was smothered in sauce. Unfortunately I woke up sick the next morning. As much as I've loved this place in the past, I don't think I'll be returning.

    The bowls were delicious, fresh and a wide variety of ingredients. Service was very friendly and both employees patiently explained all options as it was our first time at this place. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Never had a bad meal here. The menu is limited but everything is delicious! They really know how to do Greek fusion. My fave is a spicy lamb pita with feta and tzaziki and plenty of Greek fixings. My wife loves thier shredded chicken. The bowls are also a nice, healthy and filling option. Staff are awesome and food is reasonably priced. Great little spot for some quick takeaway, but also has a nice ambience if you want to sit down and eat too! This place is a rare gem in Ottawa, kudos!

    This is one of my favorite takeout options for healthy food in Centretown. Lots of choices and endless combinations of ingredients so I never get bored. The food always tastes fresh and the high quality is reliable. Their online ordering is also really easy to use.

    Your average subway-like restaurant. The food was ok. The service was quite good, the waitresses gave some advices. However, it's just average, you can only go so far with pre-made food in boxes. If you want some Greek street food go to a place with a grill and skewers, it will probably taste better.

  • 5/5 Dennis S. 11 months ago on Google
    Choose your own wrap or bowl. Wide selection of nice fresh ingredients. Delicious. Friendly and efficient staff. Order at counter, dine in or take out. Clean, recent decor. Great place for quick, nutritious and tasty meal.

    Amazing food! Amazing staff!! You can't go wrong 🙂

  • 2/5 Michael P. 8 months ago on Google
    Place looks nice and staff seem friendly, I ordered takeout. However, the meat in the pitas don’t have any flavour at all, almost just a light bad taste in the mouth. The lamb meatballs taste extra funky (not a good funk). The “funky feta” is nasty, makes me nauseous, though that could just be my personal preference. The potatoes are good, but could use some more salt. Overall, the food is very poor compared to my expectations and especially for the price, but take with a grain of salt because I’m not the most prolific Greek food eater.

    Braised lamb didn't have much flavour. My son had the chicken, and it tasted pretty good. Love the setup and the idea, but I might need to play around with the right combination to get something I like.

    Delicious, fresh food served with a smile. Thank you MO for helping me choose the perfect pita for me. Will definitely be back for more. Thanks so much, Kat like meow 😜

  • 4/5 eHudsonification 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered a large pita with grilled chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomato & onion, roasted red pepper hummus, feta and lemon tahini thyme. The pita bread was soft and delicious, the chicken was extremely dry though. The sauce was really good. Would recommend, but I would try a different meat next time.

  • 5/5 Christina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Was our first time here and walked in quite by accident - so glad we did! The staff patiently walked us through the menu and each step of choosing our food. So many excellent choices and everything was super fresh. And fast! Absolutely delicious. Really appreciated the variety of GF options. Will definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Pamela C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good experience all round. Friendly staff . Helpful with our choices, excellent food... delicious sauces,tasty meatballs...nice and fiery ginger beer

  • 4/5 Stephen L. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this type of food option...build your own bowls. Staff are friendly, chill and fast, bit if a stoner vibe which I don't mind. Noisy acoustics, so I wouldn't want to do anything but takeout. The lamb meatballs on grains is a great combo.

  • 5/5 Danielle C. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited the new St. Laurent location. Amazing food! Amazing service! Will definitely be eating here again soon. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sean F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was fresh and it tasted great! We arrived just before closing time and the accommodated us. I am glad they did. I really enjoyed my salad. I walked up and down the strip looking for something to eat and I am glad I stopped in this place. I highly recommend giving them a shot. You won't be disappointed. My hotel was a block about so this restaurant was quite convenient for us. I will visit again if I am ever in Ottawa again.

  • 5/5 Pamela 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious, fresh, healthy. Vegan options! Large portions! Friendly staff. Covid safe measures in place. Easy menu and online ordering system. I'll be back! Thanks PI RHO!

  • 3/5 Julie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Big deception on our order, on July 31th. My son placed the order, 2 bowls, the second one being vegetarian. It contained chicken. The restaurant cancelled the order right after delivery so a refund was not possible. My son emailed customer service who replied nothing could be done because the restaurant had cancelled. Why was the order cancelled if it was delivered? I still give 3 stars. We seldom had problems with our orders in the past.

  • 5/5 Liz B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the salad bowls here. So many delicious choices of greens, dips, protein, add-ons plus dressing. I had a bowl with mixed greens, spicy harissa and feta dips, lamb, and pomegranate ginger dressing and it was SO good. Everything was very fresh and very tasty. Good value for $.

  • 5/5 Jay-Eff M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good pitas. The whole family enjoyed their choices. I wish they had something similar in Laval where I live.

  • 5/5 Thomas K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a nice surprise: some great new tastes to try and a healthy meal, at that. Highly recommended if you like those kind of salad bowls that are so trendy nowadays. 100x tastier than the ones a door or two down at Pure Kitchen... And cheaper, too.

  • 5/5 Hayley C. 2 years ago on Google
    LOVE their customized bowls!! And you have to try their roasted feta potatoes, so good. Very healthy options with original toppings and good price as well. Their staff is super friendly! New favourite spot for lunch :)

  • 5/5 Aidan C. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm a big fan of custom salad places and the ones I've had here were both fantastic! I really like the greens + grains option rather than being limited to one or the other. All of the veggies have been fresh and the sauces and dressings are all full of flavour! Tried out the roasted potatoes with feta and the baklava cheesecake as well and was not disappointed. I really would recommend this place if you're looking for something fast, healthy, and delicious.
