Some of the best Lebanese food ever. Family owned with a huge menu. I need to return to try some of the many items offered. We had the Combination appetizer platter and the fried artichokes with lemon and garlic. Everything was excellent.

The Pita House is one of the most authentic Lebanese restaurants that I have eaten at. Our table was the only one where Arabic was not spoken. We had Baba Ghanouj as an appetizer and it was excellent. I ordered the Mixed Grill – grilled Kafta, Shish Kabob and Shish Ta Wouk served with grilled tomatoes, onions, rice and yogurt sauce. The Kofta (sausage) was the best I’ve had. The others created their own vegetarian plates – hummus, grape leaves, spinach pie, and moujadra. All very good.

Disgusting service. I can’t say anything about the food, unfortunately, since my husband and I didn’t get to try it. We came here for dinner on a Saturday at 9.25pm. There was no staff who welcomes and seated at the tables, we ourselves went into the hall. while one waiter was talking to other guests and three more employees were standing near the bar and talking and joking among themselves. We sat at a table, waiting to be approached and offered a menu, the guy who was talking to other guests walked by. He did not greet us, but only told another waiter to come to our table, to which the other waiter began to look at the time and wave it away, not hiding his unwillingness to approach us. They began to argue, it was clear that none of them wanted to serve us. It made us uncomfortable and we didn’t want to stay there even for a minute! We were lucky to find a Thai restaurant across the street with great friendly staff and delicious food. And you guys at Pita House, I will never recommend to anyone. This is not how you treat customers!

My husband and I were walking through old town, and we found this awesome Lebanese restaurant. I love Lebanese food so I was really excited and with high expectations. I can tell you that they exceeded my expectations, the food was delicious. We order the kafta, our server special lemonade, and baklava to go. I gotta say please keep the chef because he is amazing!
