" I recently dropped by Pita Alley for a quick lunch after hearing about their popular chicken shawarma. The interior is simple yet clean. I felt the staff could be a bit more engaging, but the food made up for it! The shawarma itself was spiced perfectly; however, the serving size left me wanting more. I think they should work on making lunch a bit more satisfying. Overall, it’s a place I might revisit but wouldn't prioritize. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've recently started eating at Pita Alley, and I must say, I'm impressed. The falafel is among the best I've had - crispy and packed with flavor. The owner is delightful, and the place has a cozy atmosphere. Although the menu is limited, the items they do offer are delightful, but I wish they served larger portions! Overall, a great dinner spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at Pita Alley was far from what I expected. The gyro I ordered lacked flavor, and I felt it was overpriced for the quality. While the atmosphere is nice, they need to work on their service as it was slow during my visit. Overall, I was disappointed and might look for other Mediterranean options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first meal at Pita Alley last week. The ambiance was simple but cozy, making for a pleasant dining experience. The shawarma was tasty, but the portion seemed small for the price. I left a little hungry, but the flavors were spot on, and I still enjoyed it overall. The staff was friendly, but the wait time for food was a tad longer than expected. Would come back but perhaps just for takeout next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pita Alley with friends, and the experience was quite enjoyable. We tried the hummus and pita as appetizers and were pleasantly surprised by their freshness. I had a chicken kabob for my main dish, which was well-seasoned but smaller than expected. The atmosphere is pleasant and great for group dining. I would recommend it if you're in the area and looking for a quick and tasty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My buddy and I stopped at Pita Alley for lunch after seeing some fantastic reviews online. The place was busier than anticipated but had a nice vibe. I ordered the grilled chicken gyro and was blown away by the flavor but slightly disappointed with the portion size. The price seemed a bit steep for what was on my plate. On the plus side, it was fresh and bursting with Mediterranean flavors. Definitely worth a visit, but they should be mindful of value for money. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequented Pita Alley several times and each time was a different experience. The first few visits were wonderful: tasty gyros and refreshing tzatziki. However, my last experience was marred by the slow service and errors in our orders. It felt as if they were overwhelmed despite it not being busy. The atmosphere is nice, but the inconsistency in food quality can be frustrating. I really hope they can straighten things up because I'm in love with their meals! " (*Curated Review*)
