CLOSE TO MY HOME, I'VE EATEN HERE NUMEROUS TIMES
by MorgDaddy01 at Citysearch
This joint is less than 1/2 a mile from house, so I come here when I'm looking for Med. food, but too lazy to make the drive to The Royal Grill on Burbank Blvd. This place has the best shwarma? NEGATIVE. The Pita Kitchen (which is an ironic name because the pita is pretty weak; seems hard to find good pita nowadays. The Great Greek has got it down pat, but its Greek, not Med.) is a CLEAR second if judging shwarma compared to The Royal Grill. Both are inexpensive, but The Royal Grill still has a slight advantage there as well. My second fav is the Greek Knight (not Greek Nights on Ventura Blvd.) in Burbank. Also superior to The Pita Kitchen, but par with The Royal Grill. I'm not trying to diss The Pita Kitchen, its good food, but you can mos def find better elsewhere...if you're not too lazy to drive. ;)
- Pros: Good food, quick service, ATM on site
- Cons: No credit cards accepted, poor pita, good but nothing special

Amazing place! The best shawarma you will ever have!!
by pucsicsal at Citysearch
This place has the best shawarma I have ever had, plain and simple. I have been to countless "mediteranean" and "middle eastern" restuarants in LA and OC, and none are as good as Pita Kitchen. Their food is exceptional everytime. Ask for the "beef and lamb shawarma in the lafa, with hot sauce," you won't regret it. The prices are also very attractive and each portion is so large some people might have to take some home! This place is hard to find and literally a "hole in the wall", but it makes it all the better. This place is a GEM! The parkings and "cash only" is a hassle, but thats the least of the matters with food this good. Recommend!

Great Beef Plate
by llyonize at Citysearch
This is a great new find for me. If you like mediterrian food, then you have to go to the Pita Kitchen. The beef plate is so good, and so much food you could easily share or make two meals out of it. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, so best to go early. The staff is really friendly too.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Parking not so great
The Details on Pita Kitchen
Know Before You Go:
The restaurant accepts cash only--there's an ATM in the back.
Parking:
Metered spots are usually at a premium. There's a small lot in back of the restaurant through the one-way alley just south of the entrance.
