PITA Mediterranean Street Food-Johns Creek — Restaurant in Johns Creek

I have been there twice. The second time convinced me not to go back.

The first time I went to this place, the owner was not there, I got a beef sandwich that was just amazing. Enough meat, good fries, with tzatziki sauce and everything tasted very good (see the first photo with one sandwich). Definitely 5 star.

The second time I went there, the owner was there, and my gyro was nothing like the first time. No tzatziki sauce or any other dressings (even though I asked the owner but he did not give me anything). Definitely NOT enough meat (two or three small pieces here and there) and same thing with the fries (not enough) and the meat and fries tasted like they were fried in an old reused oil from several days ago. Even the place smelled like reused oil. The owner must be probably telling his employees not to put enough meat or tzatziki sauce but when you are charging 14 dollars for your sandwich, you should at least provide the bare minimum (like a tzatziki or enough meat for what you’re charging for) or people will go to other places.

I get it. The owner wants to take as much as he can and give as little as he can and he is trying to save every single penny and he thinks he can maximize his profit by reducing the amount of food or dressings he gives his customers. But keep in mind that you’re charging almost 14 bucks for a sandwich, so it needs to be more than just a 20 cents loaf of bread and some vegetables and old fries, or it is not justified for the customers to pay that much for just a bread with your old reused meat and fries. One tzatziki sauce would not cost you as much as losing a potential regular customer. So just give enough food for what you’re charging for. And when someone ask you for a dressing, just give it to them. A tzatziki sauce does not cost that much, especially since your menu is saying you should provide...

Update 7/23/23 - not very happy with the menu changes. You used to be able to order a sampler hummus which came with one small portion of each hummus and now there is no way to order that online. Also, there is no way to order grilled vegetables with the platter anymore, is this because they are not available? Additionally, what used to be the best salad I have ever had is now just a generic salad with pre packaged dressing. Why would you do that, the dressing used to be amazing, I can make a salad at home with pre packaged dressing. This used to be my favorite restaurant in John’s creek and now I don’t come here anymore.

Update: it just continues to get better with this place. The cheesecake is out of this world delicious. The chicken shawarma salad was the best salad I have ever had. The mezza trio with Harissa hummus, garlic spread, and babaganoush are the best dips I have ever had. Their dips are definitely made in house and fresh. My go to is the chicken shawarma it’s just so good that I haven’t tried anything else because I crave it. I usually get the platter, but the pita is amazing too. I eat here every week, but I could honestly eat here every day of my life. The restaurant is very clean, organized, and efficient. The staff is really sweet, my order is always correct and cooked...

2 stars Honest review:

Don’t be fooled by the images. The food doesn’t taste as great as it looks. The fries were terrible. Barely edible. They were hard, stiff, and overcooked. The falafel tasted interesting. Not necessarily bad but I don’t know about this falafel compared to other places. I thought the prices were great; however, half of the meal included fries on the side which were inedible. The pita tasted weird and gave me a headache. The fries also gave me a headache. I don’t have any known allergies. I wasn’t able to finish my food. The only good things about this restaurant were the chicken and the tzatziki sauce. This is my second time coming back to pita Mediterranean and I’m not going back. I was quite disappointed. Wish I spent my money elsewhere. I bought enough food for a family, so you could imagine the amount of money I spent.

The receptionist at the phone was great at answering all my answers. The receptionist...
