“ Delicious Greek food! I am Greek so I know Greek food and it is not often you find something authentic. Whenever I am in town you know I'm stopping here for a gyro and feta fires. YUM ”
“ I absolutely love pita gr! I come here regularly to dine in. On a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, I tried to order online and I think the system was down. Placed a call and was left on hold. I enjoy the food so much, I went to order in person. It did not appear to be busy, cooks and staff looked at me while I waited to order. After almost 10 minutes someone came to take my order. I ordered Zucchini chips, half chicken gyro, and a beef/lamb gyro wrap. Unfortunately the take out was not theirs best quality of food. Maybe because it was close to their closing time. Fried zucchini was burnt and when bit into, it tasted like grease. That was a bummer because their zucchini is one of my favorite dishes. I also did not expect the half chicken to be chopped into tiny tiny pieces like that. I should have asked that before ordering. Overall their food is great when you dine in, I do not recommend take out. Try their zucchini, spicy dip, zeus fries and their chicken skewers! Dine in food is delicious and it's always clean inside the restaurant. ”
“ Super yummy combos. My daughter loves this place in Downey next to Mart One. Plenty of parking. Seating in the back. Nice people. Fresh food made to order. Must try the Zeus Fries! ”
“ The parking is in the back and you place your order by the door you enter. The nice-sized seating area is on the opposite side where it's nicely lit with a big TV, and an exit door. The beef/lamb gyro was very good and the fries were even better, perfectly seasoned with some Parmesan cheese. The place is clean, and service was good & quick. Definitely should check it out! ”
“ I've been here to get food to go and it's never disappointing. I got to eat inside this time and it was nice. Big dining room, they have a tv for sports. Very clean and bright. Service was great, no issues. I was sad the ice cream machine was down but I'll be back again. It's the closet Mediterranean restaurant near me. ”
“ This place is easily a favorite! My office is nearby and I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about Pita GR. My go-to is the pork belly yeero plate, it cames with rice, tomato, pickled red onion, feta cheese, fries, chives and tzatziki. It is so good. I can't seem to pull myself away from this order hahaah. Many of my coworkers tend to order the chicken plate, their wraps, or their Zeus fries. I've picked at my coworkers fries and they're tasty haha. Oh, also, their frozen yogurt is DELICIOUS. I've tried the honey and cherry, both are great! I usually order take out or delivery but I've dined in once. It's well kept and clean. Definitely order early and expect an additional 10-20 mins if you order during lunch time. They get busy!!! I usually try to order first thing in the morning. ”
“ Short: A great option for a mediterranean style food. Staff was friendly and order was prepared quickly. Long: I was in a rush and needed a quick bite to eat and decided on trying Pita GR, and I was not disappointed. The meat was great and full of flavor, salad was fresh with a nice tangy dressing and the fries were good. It was super easy to call and order, and the staff was friendly. Only downside was there were not many fries and way too much rice. Presentation seemed like it was all thrown on the plate very quickly, however it is important to note everything tasted great! Overall I enjoyed my experience at Pita GR and I would recommend for a quick bite to eat! ”
“ The picture is not my best but this is a great burger. It's in its own class. The sauce & bun selection on this thing is great. I cannot express how much all the flavors work. The service is always great and everything is prepared fresh. I love eating there because of how spotless they keep it. The inside is really calm & neutral with the plants. Keep up the great work on this place. ”
