Okay I am a fan and can not wait to come back!!!
When I walked in I saw a tall rack of chicken roasting and spinning with a giant onion on top (check my photos) and I knew that is what I was having. I did take a few minutes to check over the menu but my mind was not going to be changed. The meat looked amazing and it was so nice to see real meat and not that pressed fake chicken meat (typically what you see at most places)!
So I ordered a Chicken Shawarma!!! While I was standing at the counter I asked how long they had been in business and was told about 2 months. I also told them that i found them on Yelp and that they had some really nice reviews. The staff was really friendly too...I think they were a family...I believe it was a Mom with her son and daughter...I feel for the kids because I grew up in a family business too. They had really good personalities for there age too...I really love customer service and this family brings it. I was even offered a bowl of chicken soup, while I was waiting. I think they are trying to hook me!!!
The chicken soup was really good and is homemade too. It was a nice little treat plus next time I come back I am going to get a bowl...who knows I may even try the lentil soup. I can't lie I am definitely going to get a bowl of the lentil.
My chicken Shawarma was finally ready. It looked and tasted so good. The last time I had a Chicken Shawarma this yummy I was at the Sydney airport waiting for my next flight. So this place is high on my list!!! The toppings were really interesting...there was pickled beets on here too...I would have never ordered that on my sandwich and I have to be honest it really worked. There was suppose to be hot sauce on here but my sandwich was not that spicy. Next time I go back I will ask them to throw more on there. I like hot!!! On a side note: all of there sauces are homemade too.
I noticed that a lot of people who wrote reviews have used a Group On and they are still happy...so that is a good sign...those Group On reviews are usually the harshest reviews. Note to Group On people...give them a break...you are getting half price food!!! I also noticed that this business is offering a Yelp Deal too. I did not have a deal or coupon...I paid full price and it was worth it. The sandwich was not very expensive...it was $5.49 which is very reasonable. I need to come back here soon because that Chicken Shawarma is calling me plus I do not have to get on a plane for 16 hours to get one in Sydney. Yes there is really a good Shawarma in Sydney!!! I would even review it if I could remember the name of the place!!!
This place is a hidden gem and a new business. I hope that others read this review and stop in and give this family run business a chance. I am hoping for a long relationship between my belly and the Pita Grill. Honestly my mouth is watering just thinking about it!!!

I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and gave it a 2nd try last night.
My first experience was okay. The chicken shawarma was delicious and had all kinds of pickles and pickled vegetables on it. The rice was outstanding and had a very strong coriander flavor to it. The gyros on the other hand, was NOT good at all. It was extremely greasy and not very flavorful. The meat was sliced way too thick and the pita was actually wet from so much grease. It hurt my stomach the next day.
My second experience was AWFUL. I called 15 minutes ahead to pick up my order and when I got there the food wasn't even made yet even though the place was empty. The young boy working the counter was so nice, helpful, and friendly I feel terrible writing a bad review, so I want to make it clear it was NOT his fault whatsoever. The older man making the food was really confused and kept making everything incorrectly and having to do it over. I waited another 15 minutes for them to get the food ready to go while arguing with each other. Fine, whatever, everyone has a bad day.
So I get the food home and we open it up, and everything looks and smells delicious... until we actually ate it. First off the pickled turnips were rancid and smelled fermented and we had to pick them off our food. Some of the cups of sauces smelled like that too...rancid like they were spoiled and we had to throw them away. Then the kifta kabob... Ugh. These had to have been microwaved from a few days ago. They were hard, chewy, dried up little dog turds that went straight in the garbage. My dad (who will eat anything) even said YUCK and spit it out. I can't believe they would even serve something like this. They tasted like old gamey meat and I wouldn't even feed them to my dog.
Sorry Pita Grill, two strikes and you're out. Keep serving rancid sauce and microwaved meat and you won't be around much longer.

I went with the Pita Grill Special. You get three different meats. I only wish I would have had it without the onions. I'm ok with onions, but these seemed very strong.
The chicken was very tender and juicy with great flavor. The beef was good. The gyro meat was typical, very good like you would get anywhere else. The sauce had a nice flavor.
My only suggestion might be for them to include two pitas. There is a lot of meat for just one.
I also had the chicken soup and that had a lot of flavor and was very good.
It is very clean inside. The decorations were a little strange, very gold. The people were nice and knew the regulars by name.
I will return to try some of the other items on the menu.

Delicious food, but terrible service. They took forever to do anything..my friend and I came in with a Deals Magazine voucher, and I guess that meant that we were to be served last, even after new customers came in. A group of four guys came in, ordered, and got their food before us. After waiting for 20 minutes with the annoying TV blaring, we finally got our food and it was delicious. As I was leaving, I needed a bag for my food and it would've taken a second, but the cashier decided to take a phone call instead...so I sat back down. I probably won't come back here again, but I can't give less than 3 stars because the food was delicious. It's just the customer service that needs a LOT of help.
