Pita Express

Food is great - especially the shwarma, baby chicken, burger. Step up to the laffa instead of the pita for much better value, taste, and less likelihood everything falls apart 2/3 the way through. Delivery speed is very slow, even when close by. Pick up is much faster - they prepare it faster than if you ordered in person!

The pita sandwiches (Shwarma/Falafel) are authentic Israeli and tasty. The pita bread tastes as if it was baked the same day.

The falafel sandwich is amazing - the fresh homemade pita bread is awesome. I'd give 5 stars but they forget the hot sauce a majority of the time you ask for it.

A piece of meat not even cut up slapped in a pita. For 10 dollars for just that I could go anywhere and get a much better meal in the city. Fortunately they were fast.

Not Good.... awful.... fatty chicken on a pita does not make it middle eastern food!

Ordered the shawarma and baby chicken sandwich. Meat was identical on both and not that good.

Exceptional and Authentic food. Very flexible with orders and quick with delivery.

Looks good from the menu but the food was bland, the lamb tasted like 50% cartilage, they didn't add tahini sauce to an item they were supposed to (which, we all admit, is why people like Greek food), and instead of chocolate balls they threw in a plain cookie and some baklava, which was more than a dollar less than what I ordered. When I complained, they refused to give me change but agreed to send some tahini sauce over with more cookies... and sent it to the wrong address anyways. Epic failure of a night. Seriously, you can't say you have something called "chocolate balls" and then not have it, that's even more ridiculous than the attitude they copped when I asked for my change.

Food is good. Delivery is poor. Will look elsewhere

This restaurant took 90 minutes to deliver three lunch items after they were ordered. Although I have ordered from here before, service is so unpredictable that I won't be ordering again.

Food is good. Delivery is extremly slow and you sometimes get the wrong order.

food is good and delivery is fast but they have gotten my order wrong 100% of the time, even when I have spoken to them live on the phone in addition to submitting order on Seamless Web.

Ordered a Falafel Sandwich with a Baguette - charged for the Baguette, but it never came. The Turkish Salad was more oil than anything else, and didn't taste very good.
