    We were looking for a quick vegan dinner and Pita 22 totally hit the spot! Itโ€™s a nicely designed counter service restaurant with breakfast, lunch and dinner options for all dietary needs including vegan and gluten-free. My husband and I received fast, excellent service. Since it was our first visit we chose to share โ€œSalad 22โ€ which is a sampler of falafel, hummus, baba ganoush, tahini sauce, fried eggplant and house salad served with homemade pita. Itโ€™s all vegan by default - no changes needed - and every single item of the sampler was mouth-watering! It was plenty of food for the two of us, and we will definitely be back for this. All of the items in the sampler are also available by the pound for catering, which is awesome.

    We ordered the delicious platter and got a great sense of the variety of foods available. We especially enjoyed the feta fries and hummus dip. Additionally, Jordan and Jessica were the stars of the show. They were incredibly helpful in helping us make an informed decision, provided us with prompt and courteous service, and thanked us for our business. My friend Kamran and I shall come here nearly every Friday.

    We had the pleasure of being transported to the Mediterranean on a recent hosted experience at the amazing restaurant Pita 22 in San Diego, California โ˜€๏ธ Jessica, the manager, was an absolute delight and did not disappoint with her recommendations. Each dish is made in-house and packed with flavor and freshness. With generous portion sizes, each bite left us satisfied, yet craving more. Hereโ€™s what we loved: ๐Ÿ‘‰ harissa sauce: spicy, bold flavor that packs a punch in every bite ๐Ÿ‘‰ the pita was fluffy and soft and our 8-year-old happily gobbled them up with the delicious hummus ๐Ÿ‘‰ the hummus fries were fun and flavorful ๐Ÿ‘‰ the falafel salad was a delightful combination of fresh vegetables and flavor-packed quinoa and rice that left all of us wanting more ๐Ÿ‘‰ the vegan portobello pita sandwich was delightfully delicious and satisfying, especially to our mushroom loving 5-year-old ๐Ÿ‘‰ the shakshuka was savory perfection The menu is extensive and adaptable and is sure to satisfy any flavor palette and desire. Itโ€™s in a fantastic location in a shopping plaza with ample parking. All tables were full at lunch hour with a constant stream of customers and it didnโ€™t feel overcrowded and busy. The vibe is modern with a cozy twist, with family photos and plants throughout. ๐Ÿชด This kitchen has done a lovely job adding plenty of plant-based items to the menu that are packed with freshness and flavor. We highly recommend and canโ€™t wait to go back ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป #hosted #mediterraneancuisine #greekfood #familyownedrestaurant #plantbasedfood #culinaryadventure

    Tried this place for dinner yesterday, and everything was delicious! We had the chicken shawarma plate and the falafel plate. The food was of great quality and fresh. The hummus was super creamy, and the portion size was also decent. We will be visiting again!
