Pita Jungle - Mesa - Red Mountain

I ordered the 3 flavor hummous, received just the original. There was a hair in my baklava. It took 20 minutes longer than quoted and food was cold. Most items were delicious.

So happy there is a pita jungle close to the house! Everything is fresh and tasty!

This place very recently opened up.
The previous occupant didn't last long... about 6 months. I'm pretty sure it was because they wanted to charge high-end prices in a middle income neighborhood. I never ate there once, having read the menu.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Pita JUngle's prices more in line with my budget.

It was noon and business was brisk. I had my drink within two minutes and my appetizer within 5... very cool for someone on a tight schedule.
Those are almost drive-through times...
Normally I wouldn't have ordered so much food, but it all looked so tasty I couldn't help but get more than I needed.
The red pepper hummus caught my eye right away and I was going to order a falafel as well, but then I saw they had gyros.
Being somewhat of a sandwich guy, gyros are a favorite, so I changed my mind and chose that instead.
I asked about a small side salad, and was told they had a Greek salad with tomato, olives, spinach. Alrighty then... close enough and a nice change from the usual "bleu cheese slathered iceberg" I usually end up with.
I had forgotten that they serve healthy food...
Shortly thereafter, out came the hummus, not too sour and not too spicy, along with a large, thick, warm pita. I really liked the mouthfeel of the warm pita and cold paste. Yummy.
Before I could finish those, my salad and gyro arrived.
I was eager to get to the meat of things, so I left the hummus behind and dug into the gyro.
I was expecting a much sweeter experience, to be honest. The meat was tender but a bit weak as far as flavor. It was overpowered by the pickle and sour cream. With plenty of meat, it actually got better tasting as I made my way through it, but never got to same level of deliciousness as others I have had.
I finished off the hummus after that and set the plates aside. They were quickly whisked off my table by staff... a custom I do like very much.
The salad was minimally vinaigretted, but the strong olives and chopped onions flavored it just fine.

I read the happy hour menu while I munched, and am definitely going back one day just for that.
The prices on drinks (4$ margaritas made with Quervo Gold) seemed like a deal.
While sitting there I noticed that the reception desk is simply a disguised piano... interesting...

I can't give a restaurant a bad review just because of a single sandwich, so they still get high marks for service, speed and friendliness.
Next time I will try that falafel, for sure.

Visited this location on my lunch break from work and the food was absolutely amazing. My server Lilly was very bubbly and sweet and gave amazing suggestions. Overall the entire staff was lovely would definitely recommend trying it out I will be back. I’m so happy there’s a Pita Jungle so close to home!!! Great service and great food
