Pita Hut -N- Grille

I love their falafel pita sandwich. It’s so flavorful! Their turkey/​lamb shawarma is good, but didn’t have much meat in it. Their pita is so soft and fresh. I prefer their pita to the hard lavash bread at Lavash! I wish they’d give more fries though, for $ 1.75 they don’t give much fries.

I really only visit her when I am next door at Bob’s Bar. It does make for a decent cheap meal after a few too many. I did venture in once for lunch and no prior drinking. I feel this allowed me realize it wasn’t as good as I thought when I’d gone those many nights after the bar.
The food over all is not bad but there are better greek places in town for sure. The gyro is decent but I have had better ones, cheaper even at other places in town. The hummus is not too bad and the falafel is just okay. They do have some garlic fries which are tasty but I don’t really go to a place like this for fries.
Over all I will go back from time to time after leaving Bobs but I will probably not go out of my way to go back.

Awesome! Driving through Columbus and wanted to eat someplace good and not fast food, found this place on Unilocal and SO glad I did! When we walked in the first thing I noticed was how clean and fresh everything was! It was a little busy for a Sunday afternoon and there was only one guy working and he had everything under control. Super nice guy! We ordered fries, gyro and shawarma… Great flavor, fresh ingredients and filling! Wish we lived closer, but I’ll def have this on my list if I make it back to the city!

Solid little pita shop. Cheap and lots of fresh ingredients. Definitely not a place for a nice sit down dinner, but great for a quick bite. Much more original than Acropolis gyros.

We love the falafal. We adore the owner. The food is great. They are seemingly open 24 hours a day. If you want fast, decent food this is the place.

I was so happy to find Pita Hut, which is operated by the same owner as the now closed Ali Baba on campus. Oh how I missed their eggplant and cauliflower salad. I ordered a shwarma platter and the owner offered me a couple of fresh falafel to sample too. The serving was very generous with pickles, cabbage, baba ganoush or hummus, and your choice of 2 sides. Did I mention EGGPLANT AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD?!
So happy to find Lufti and his delicious creations, again. I had to restrain myself from eating the entire plate.
This place will be on my regular lunch rotation.

Good food that is very filling. Portion sizes here won’t leave you wanting. If you don’t know much about this type of food don’t come in here looking for help or explanations because they are not the type to talk to you much. They’re too busy working. The fries are some of the best around! No alcohol so go next door for your libations.

Great food perfect customer service
You must try the hummus its fresh and tasty
Will come back for sure

The quantity is not that great. I took super gyro sandwich and it wasn’t super at least in size. The quantity if meat in it was very less and it was completely filled with cabbage. My friend tried Shawarma plate and the quantity of chicken was really disappointing, considering it was of $ 14. All in all an average place.

The food is ok. I have been to many Greek restaurants and this is not on the list of ones that I will go back to. Unilocal reviews made this place seem like it’s the best Gyro shop in town, but after eating there I was not impressed.
The food was not very pleasing to the eye and the portions you get for the price are not that great either. The menu is confusing as to how the sides come with the platters.
Order:
Super gyro
Super gyro platter with baba ghannouj, (2 sides) eggplant salad and cauliflower salad.
We thought we were ordering 2 gyros, one with sides. The super gyro was a normal gyro, but the Super gyro platter was not what I expected: each item that would go into a gyro was all on the plate and there was no pita. It was like eating a bunless burger.
I’m not a picky eater and will try anything once, but the eggplant salad and the cauliflower salad I couldn’t even eat. It didn’t taste good and was cold.
I was still a bit hungry and wanted to try a snack so we got some Baklava. It was very dry and not that good either.

The baklava is amazing! By far the best I’ve ever had. Quick to-​go food and very delicious. I’d definitely stop by if you’re in the area!

Solidly good, always. Perennial faves: falafel, eggplant salad, and cauliflower salad. Pro tip: get your meal as a platter (sandwich, hummus/​baba ghanoush, and two sides). Then you’ll have plenty for two meals!

i ordered the schwarma plate and aded some falafel and it was really good. I loved the rice here and it was so good. it was a solid place not anything I would go out of the way to get but if i’m in the area and someone suggested it then i’d totes be up for it. standard medi fare

Website says open till 11 pm. Ordered food at 1030… get notified at 1045 they arent responding. Tjey even called the owner for me and no answer.
Bad service. Ended up going to pita hut. Highly recommend them.

I stopped in here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. It’d been sitting there staring me in the face every time I’ve been to Bob’s Bar, but I just hadn’t been interested in the time. It’s a very tiny spot with only five or six tables inside, but luckily, we beat the lunch rush just in time. The guy working behind the counter was very nice, and my girlfriend was looking for a more garlicky sauce for her shawarma, and he offered to fix it up with more garlic flavor her.
We both ordered the Shawarma sandwich which has a turkey and lamb combo inside. I don’t think I’ve ever seen turkey added to my Mediterranean dishes, but the pita pocket was so freakin’ good. It reminded me of the shawarma over at Pita House, but I have to say, I might like it even better. The spices inside, along with the delicious hummus, were fantastic. The fries that came with the meal had a great Cajun spice on them and were super crispy. Overall, this sandwich combo was top notch in my book, especially at $ 9.99 for the pita, fries, and a drink.
I also had an order of falafel, and it’s been awhile since I’ve found falafel that’s really amazed me, but this has got to be some of the best in Columbus. The tahini, or whatever it was, that came with it was delicious, and the falafel was super crispy and not too dense on the inside. They’re a little smaller, so I think that helps, but you get a ton (10 for $ 2.49), and I’d order these again in a heartbeat.
I don’t get up to Clintonville very often, especially not this far up, but I will make it a point to swing by this place again. Had I known how good the food was, this review would have been written ages ago.

Some nights back I ordered the falafel platter, which came with 3 sides. I chose the hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabouli. I added a small order of fries, which came to $ 12.62. That seemed a bit much for the portions, but everything tasted quite good. The falafel was particularly nice, as I like it a bit coarser than I’m accustomed to in Greek falafel.
The young Palestinian fellow was quite pleasant and has the curious habit of calling everyone «boss.» It was interesting to hear what he had to say about Oman.
I expect to return again this summer to have something with meat in it.

First time here, and I tried the Chicken Sandwich. Service was friendly and fast, and it tasted really good. Will definitely be back to try more.

Again, I feel like I fell victim to pre-​meal Unilocal bias. Reading the reviews I thought I was going to be the best meal I’ve had in weeks.
The definition of 3 stars on Unilocal is «A-​OK» and thats exactly what this place was. Not bad, not great.
I had the meat combo (lamb in a pita pocket with hummus and veggies). It was good but not great. Had the flavors I expect from Greek food but didn’t have anything unique or special. Maybe its because all of the food is sitting out a la Subway or Chipotle?
I had the 10 piece falafel. The price was definitely spot on ($ 2.50 for these was definitely worth it if you are looking at price per calorie). However, I felt they tasted rather bland and that I was mostly just eating fried breading.
Also, its not the nicest place. Bare bones and small.
To me, its not a bad lunch or if you want to be filled up for cheap. It basically reminds me of a fast-​food Greek place. But hey, thats still «A-​OK.»

Best middle eastern food in town. The eggplant and cauliflower salads, especially, are excellent. Love everything here, though!

Pita Hut is proof that some of the best food comes from the humblest shops. It’s along High Street, near Morse — but with big, bright LED lights all around the storefront, you really (REALLY) can’t miss it. The restaurant is small, but very clean and there are booths for dining in. Their menu selections are posted in large type with photos on an overhead board and the staff are happy to answer questions and suggest menu items. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-​free — you are going to have plenty of options.
I’ve been coming here since they opened, and I am (sorry not sorry) admitting to only ordering a couple of things in all that time — their gyro plate and their falafel sandwich. SO good. The falafel is fried on order, so always fresh, hot and delicious. They put those heavenly little things into a pita shell along with hummus (mmm), pickles (yum), red cabbage, lettuce, onion, tomato, and creamy sauce. A balance of everything necessary for an awesome sandwich experience, that’s what you’re getting. The gyro plate is a deconstruction, with plenty of spiced beef/lamb…but I really want a falafel sandwich if I’m at the Hut. It’s that good.
Pita Hut’s sides are fresh and delicious. They have the Mediterranean-​middle East crack fries (big, soft inside, crispy outside, dusted with spices), baba, hummus, cauliflower & eggplant salads, tabbouli, etc. I like their cauliflower salad better than the fries! Desserts run more to baklava and cheesecake, but there is kunefe and other shredded wheat-​based sweets. Drinks are standard cans and bottles of soda, a few fountain options — but there is plenty of variety at their carryout next door (which is owned by the Pita Hut folks) or take your food over to Bob’s Bar and pair up with your favorite beer. Best bar food ever.

A friend recommended this place to me after they just discovered it. I came after a Crew game to grab a quick bite to eat. This place is located in the Graceland area and it’s in a small strip next to Bob’s bar.
It’s a small place (had about 4 booth tables) with a one man operation. This place reminds me of Souvlakis in Athens. Very friendly service and so was the lady waiting in line for her food. I told her it was my first time and she said I would love everything they have and I mentioned I was having a difficult time choosing because everything sounded really good. So I started off basic with the falafel platter with houmous, baba ghanoush, and the tabbouleh salad.
Everything was very fresh tasting and good, except for the baba for me. It had a really strong smoky or some other spice flavor that I wasn’t used too. It wasn’t horrible at all, just a different flavor that I wasn’t used to yet. I ate about half of it, to get used to it’s flavor.
There was plenty of food to eat, as I left here completely satisfied and very full. I look forward to coming back and trying some type of meat combo with some fries which looked very good.
