" I stopped by here during my lunch break, lured in by the smell of grilled meats. I ordered the mixed shawarma platter and it was divine! The meat was juicy, the tatziki sauce on point, and I'll definitely be back for more. The only letdown was the seating; it felt a bit cramped when busy, but I can overlook that because of the quality of the food. Make sure to try their hummus - it’s some of the best I’ve had! Very much looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall experience was positive but not perfect. My donair tasted good, however, the pita was a bit too chewy for my liking. I expected better given the reviews. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and the owners were friendly, so I will likely give it another shot down the line! The portions were decent, but I was left wanting more. I believe they have potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Pita Basket Cafe is truly a mixed bag for me. While many reviews rave about the food, my experience didn't quite match the hype. I found the donair I ordered underwhelming and not particularly fresh. It was more on the dry side than I expected. The atmosphere was okay, but the service could have been more attentive. I felt that I could have gotten better food at other places, but maybe I just hit them on an off day. I might give them another chance later. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a confusing experience with the service at Pita Basket. While the food was quite good, particularly the falafel and everything felt fresh, I found the staff didn't explain some of the menu offerings well to me as a first-time guest. The vibe was nice, but I felt a bit lost ordering. Definitely returning to try more, as the flavors were excellent! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming here for years, and it’s always a treat! The freshness of the ingredients sets this place apart. My latest visit was for a chicken shawarma, which was just delightful. I just wish the seating area was a bit more spacious, as it tends to fill up fast. Still, the quality of the food and the service has kept me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pita Basket Cafe has been a go-to for my work lunches. The portions are massive and the flavors are spot on. However, last time I went, I found the staff a bit rushed which affected the service slightly. Nonetheless, this place is a gem in the heart of downtown, mixing quality food with generous portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute treasure! If you're in the mood for fantastic Lebanese food, this is it! Their chicken shawarma is so flavorful, served with a ton of vegetables and a special garlic sauce that’s out of this world. The place is always clean and the staff treats everyone like family. I also love their generous portions; it’s great value for money. Just beware it can get a bit post-lunch busy. Still, can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)
