The food isn’t cheap, but the portions are generous and the flavors are spot on. We ordered the combo plate (gyros + beef) and added chicken as a side since they were out of hummus. We also got falafels (biggg one). I’m usually not a fan of gyros, but this place changed my mind, they’re a must-try here. The rice was seasoned really well, and the falafel had a unique flavor we really liked. The place is small and gives off more of a takeout vibe than a dine-in experience. We ordered to-go and the food came out fast. Friendly service. Overall 5/5

Zero stars. Would not recommend. No spoons. No salt shakers. Ketchup only in packets. No high chairs for kids. One dollar charge for using a card. Microscopic "portion" of tziki sauce, roughly half a table spoon. And meat has bones in it that crack your teeth. Terrible! Not a restaurant in any sense of the word. Below the level of fast food. It's a glorified snack stand with overpriced food that takes them 20 minutes to make. Food does taste pretty good if you overlook everything else

Huge amazing portions. Food is cooked with love, and very tasty If you go at the right time of day you will be provided with excellent and high quality hand-picked YouTube shorts. I very much enjoyed the entertainment, more restaurants need to adapt to modern entertainment such as the type provided in Pita King. Truly trailblazing in the restaurant entertainment arena. Will be back for the YouTube shorts and the great food

High quality and delicious. I always get the Gyros Large plate combo. I get 2-3 meals out of it! The owner really cares, is super nice, and always goes out of his way to make the best food around. His prices are very low for the generous portions given. Be sure to bring cash to tip!!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Louis R · Sep 2023

I wish. I certainly wish I could rate this place higher. However, based on my experience (your mileage may vary). I see no point in coming back here any time soon . This is simply one of those times where I say to myself “I should have cooked for myself or just gone to Wendy’s (which I’m no huge fan of but at least they are consistently basic)” My first clue should have been the utter inability to compute that I hadn’t walked in to pick up an order and wanted to dine in. There were no other diners-in. To their credit, the staff is super friendly. I ordered the souvlaki plate. A warm smile and a window seat (with view of the gas station) and I was anticipating what reviews here convinced me would be some really good and authentic Greek cuisine. Soon it arrived. Silly me, I was hopin
