" I am absolutely in love with this restaurant! Their food is consistently amazing, and the servings are gigantic! I ordered the gyro plate and it was packed with meat, fresh veggies, and a delightful amount of sauces. The garlic sauce is particularly good. The people running the restaurant are friendly and welcoming, which creates a nice environment. It may not be fancy, but for genuine Mediterranean flavors, you can't get better than this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this place after hearing so much buzz about it, and I have to say that their gyros are stellar. I tried the combo plate, and it was more than enough for two people! The flavors were on point, truly reminiscent of what you would expect from a good Mediterranean eatery. Servers are friendly and attentive, just as you would want. Probably my new go-to spot when craving Greek food. Atmosphere is simple but cozy enough for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pita King is a must-visit for anyone craving Mediterranean! The portions are enormous, and the flavors are spot-on. The place can get busy, so it's worth planning your visit. I had the falafel plate, and it was mouthwatering with fresh veggies and crispy falafel. Perfect for sharing! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit, I was a bit disappointed with the service. While the food quality was still excellent, the staff seemed overwhelmed, which led to longer wait times. That said, the food is consistently great. I ordered the souvlaki plate, and it was just as delicious as I remembered with hearty portions. I hope they can manage their busy periods better in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came back after a year and was disappointed. While the gyros were tasty as always, the portions did seem smaller than I remembered. The service was courteous, but the overall experience felt a bit more rushed. I think it may be time for some fresh adjustments in the kitchen to get back to what they did best. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a fantastic hidden gem in Escondido! I decided to stop by based on all the great reviews, and it didn't disappoint. The gyros were flavorful and packed with ingredients. Not to mention the portion sizes were massive! Honestly, I could barely finish my meal which is saying a lot. The service was friendly, but it can get busy, so just be prepared for a little wait. Overall, I highly recommend giving Pita King a try. You'll leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face! " (*Curated Review*)

" I swung by for lunch and was very satisfied. Large portions of vibrant and fresh flavors make for a great dining experience. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but perfect for casual dining. I highly recommend the chicken kebabs, they were juicy and well-seasoned. " (*Curated Review*)
