La Pita — Restaurant in Saint Joseph Charter Township

I went to the bathroom when we arrived. It was dirty and had only a little toilet paper left. I told our waiter and he didn’t place more in the bathroom the entire 1.5 hours we were there. I know this because my daughter went to the bathroom after we ate and I sent her with some Kleenex from my bag just in case. She came back and confirmed that there was no more toilet paper. We ordered the family dinner for 4-6. The salad and hummus came first. The hummus was thin in texture and bland. He didn’t bring the pita for the hummus until after we finished eating our salad despite me asking if he was going to bring pita. My youngest son didn’t like salad and wanted to eat the hummus but had to wait till the pita arrived and watch us eat our salads. The pita was thin bland and tough to chew. The food came served on a large baking sheet an hour after we ordered. We had to ask for dinner plates because we were only given appetizer plates for the entire meal which was dirty with salad dressing and hummus from earlier. When we asked for new plates, the waiter said “I don’t know, let me see if we have any”. He brought clean appetizer plates. We asked for dinner plates and he said he wasn’t sure if they had any. The restaurant was not full. We were the first to arrive then 2 additional tables arrived after we were seated and ordered. The meat steak was good and the falafel was decent. The fries were crispy and the chicken was a little dry and lacked flavor. The rest of the food was forgettable and underwhelming. This was an overall bad experience. I should’ve left once I saw the bathroom but we wanted to give them a chance. We almost walked out waiting for our food for an hour. I...

Our first time there yesterday. We’re from South Bend but I work in Benton Harbor, I looked up a healthy place to eat at and La Pita showed up. So I looked at the menu they had beautiful dishes and good pricing. What I wanted was the chicken wings. My husband and I went there, there was only one car so we left, he wanted to go somewhere else but I said, let’s go try it. We went back went inside sat down, an Asian waiter with a big smile and an old man behind him. I thought it was a father and son. Anyways, the waiter was a very good waiter. Good at his job, making people feel welcome. Well! I didn’t have my glasses on so I said to my husband, it’s Mediterranean food own by Asian people? 😊 he said, no the chef is not Asian. Anytime an older person cook food for you, guarantee its good. The food was O for Awesome. I love grilled chicken, so tasty and so tender. It wasn’t salty I didn’t taste any salt. My husband ordered a falafel sandwich, it was great. The lentil soup was great no salt just simple and tasty. The salad was great. I’m going there again and I’m going to order something else. I don’t eat salt anymore and La Pita is the only restaurant that I know their food ain’t salty. Just a simple seasoning and some extra TLC. The food...

This is the best restaurant in Saint Joseph. I promise you will not be disappointed with the food you eat here. My family loves to get the La Pita Mixed Shawarma as it comes with very generous portion sizes and a variety of delicious foods. They are always fresh, delicious, and give wonderful customer service. Please be aware that google has not let them update their menus even after multiple attempts so prices have raised from what is seen online. But it is very much worth every dollar spent! In a town that's filled with chain restaurants that leave you feeling sluggish after eating, it is so refreshing to have an original restaurant offering a variety of dishes that leave you feeling full and filled with clean energy after eating! If you've never had Mediterranean food and are curious, La Pita is where you should go! Start with the lentil soup, it's...
