Im a big fan of Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern food so I was excited to try this little place out. Based on the reviews and pictures it seemed like this was going to be really good, but I have to say I was a little disappointed. The portions looked big in the picture so I decided to get the combo plate and share it with my gf. It came with chicken, lamb, and kefta skewers with rice, pita bread, and we got salad and tabouleh as sides. I was mostly disappointed with the meats. The lamb and kefta were both really dry and not very flavorful, and the only side sauce they had available was some sort of garlic yogurt sauce that was very strong and not very complimentary. The rice and other sides were good, but because the meats were just overall disappointing. The restaurant itself has a cool vibe and I liked the authentic feel to the place including the music. Im not sure if I would come back especially since Ive been to so many better Mediterranean places in OC.

The food is great but their service left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered a combo plate and the cashier confirmed the price for me because the menu was a bit confusing for customizations. I got my food and she quizzed me to see what I ordered before she gave me the food...so she then said I did not charge you enough, can you pay the difference? I questioned her and she said, well can I switch put your beef kebab to a lesser quality ground beef kebab? I asked her again why she confirmed that priced for me. She finally admitted fault and said Ok Ill have to pay it from my paycheck. Great food, bad manners and service.

i give this place 100 stars!! it is the best food around. i have lived in this area for almost 30 years.. i absolutely love Pita-Hot. I am almost embarrassed to say that i go here at least 2 times per week. i have never had something of which i have not liked. GO HERE!! you will not be dissapointed! the only advice i will give is to call in your order before you show up. it does take awhile (30mins) from the time you order to when you actually get your food. But its only because they make all the meat 100%fresh... and how can anyone complain about that!?? check out their website for the full menu so you can call in your order. :)

The food was good, but the guy on the phone when I placed my order was kind of rude. I ordered a beef shawarma plate, but the guy said they were out of beef, fine I thought, weird but ok, so I ordered chicken instead. When I picked up my order, he asked me to "hold on one second" I said ok, then he turned to the cook and said "2 BEEF plates", so i guess they werent out of beef, needless to say no matter how good the food is, I wont be coming back here.

I personally thought the Hummus was just okay because it was pretty bland. The rice was also just okay since I typically prefer Safron Rice. The pita bread was nothing special; and seemed pretty dry. The chicken Kababs were amazing though, great flavoring! For the chicken kebab plate you only get about 5 pieces of chicken.. Service wasnt too efficient but they were very friendly. Prices arent that bad either. I would recommend to try it at least once!

If youre a fan of Shawirmas youll be greatly disappointed here. Their Shawirmas taste nothing like anything youve had, the spices they used do not belong anywhere near a Shawirma. I havent tried anything else of theirs, but based on the beef Shawira, highly unlikely Ill ever go back. I suggest the owner to take a minute and taste the food theyre serving. If I cant eat it (I can eat anything), very unlikely anyone else will be able to eat it.

Ordered the meat trio combo (chicken, lamb, & beef) with hummus & Mediterranean salad; meal also came with rice and pita. All the meats were dry as hell, and the hummus was one of the most disgusting hummus Ive ever tried. The most enjoyable things were the rice and salad, but they werent particularly great either. One star for giving a lot of meat and another star for being mostly edible, I guess.

Hands down one of the best mediterranean plates around. They pack on the rice and offer a variety of different meat. I had the Lamb Chop plate and it was some of the best lamb Ive had. The entire meal tasted authentic and delicious. For the amount of food they pack in, plus 2 sides and a drink, the price is well worth it. They restaurant is spacious and they offer outside seating as well.

*edit* I never leave bad reviews for restaurants but the level of customer service here is not good. Waited 30 mins to get our food(actually Im still here waiting for it). Kept getting excuses why it wasnt ready. People waiting 5 minutes or less were getting their food. Never coming here again. *edit* finally got the food, its delicious. Im not as upset anymore. They apologized too.

The wait here is long and the customer service is so-so, but theres a reason people are still willing to put up with it. The food is beyond amazing for the price. I personally dont care about the staff occasionally rabbling with each other. The staff has deep cultural roots, so leave your snob attitude at the door to prevent wasting anyone elses time to order.

Good food, friendly staff, and best to go during off hours. This place gets pretty packed during peak hours and even calling in phone orders can get delayed at times. The food quality is very good and fresh and the garlic sauce makes everything taste so much better. They serve fairly large quantities so you might want to share if you are not too hungry.

Good food and good prices! Large portions! College crowd is rampant here. Theyre usually busy and food takes awhile to get out, but worth it. Staff could be a bit more friendly, but it might be a culture thing. Not sure. They always seem to be crabby and upset with each other while they work. Sends off a bad vibe to the customers. But hey, we go anyway.

Hands down the best Mediterranean Food around. The beef kabobs are the bomb. The wait for your food can be on the long side during peak hours, but good food takes time to prepare and is well worth the wait. If you plan ahead, you can phone in an order or order online. Ive always found the service to be excellent.

If you are in a rush, this is not the place to go because they get pretty busy. I am rating this based on the food that they serve which is really good, service was excellent as well. I ordered the combination plate and the portion was generous that I had left overs to take home and enjoy the next day.

Amazing food, amazing price, customer service, not good, the wait is horrible. Ive been to a crazy busy metiteranian food restaurants and was served in a fraction of the time. My advice, raise the price and add more staff. They spent a ton of money improving the looks, just not the overworked staff.
