The Greek Pita Place — Restaurant in Salisbury

I have been quite a few times and always have the same qualms with this restaurant. The flavor is there do not get me wrong, the Tzatziki sauce is yummy, the meat is well seasoned and the greek salad (tomatoes, cucumbers) always taste fresh. The price point is understandable but not reasonable; we are in Salisbury MD - a low income, college town but in that same respect the bigger issue is inflation. The customer service is as expected, no one goes out of their way to be extra nice but no one is outright rude (at least in my experiences). I have many friends that work and have worked there so it is nice to see a familiar face behind the counter taking your order but do not expected to be dazzled by the customer service. The dining room kinda looks haphazardly thrown together, a few tables and chairs placed in no particular order with some pictures on the wall but it is 8/10 times clean. My biggest complaint is the way the ingredients are prepped. Every time I have ordered from this restaurant, no matter what it is the cucumbers and tomatoes are sliced entirely too big to enjoy in a sandwich and the meat is not tender enough to tear apart for an average bite. This forces you to either take massive chomps of your dish or have the whole thing fall apart, not a very user-friendly experience. I suggest a revision of the prep-work and grill-work. The flavor and uniqueness/lack of competition makes me want to revisit but the experience is often times disappointing. Hopefully changes are made so I can continue...

I happen to drive by this place a while back and they were closed (I think it was a Sunday), so when I was looking for somewhere to enjoy my Friday evening meal I remembered I hadn’t been here yet, and I’ve been wanting to find a good Greek place in town.

I wasn’t planning on eating in, because I had no book with me or anything or a body of water to admire as I ate, but eventually did. The chicken kyprios and and orzo filled me up so much I couldn’t eat anything else. I did try a bite of the feta fries and they were wonderful.

I was so full, I wanted some Turkish coffee and baklava afterward so I jokingly mentioned it to the owner. We discussed how long it takes to brew, and his favorite method of brewing it over hot sand (which I found is the traditional way 🙂 can’t wait to try that) and how it would be to sell- understandably.

Anyway, I didn’t stay long, but it was a comfortable place with delicious food. Lovely photos of their family on the walls- I loved that. Friendly folk. Can’t wait...

This restaurant is perfect for college students and takeout - not for older adults. The food was just okay - we had to eat with plastic utensils - not acceptable! Flank Steak salad was not very good because the small amount of steak was tough and dressing was not really a good Greek dressing. Atmosphere was zero. We were surprised to be charged for extra sauces - not expected in good restaurants. Feta cheese was not good - don't recommend! Baklava was dry with very little honey inside. Overall, this not what we considered a good experience in food, utensils and atmosphere for the cost. We will not return - compares to what we would expect for a very expensive...
