Pita House

Went here on a day date with the wife. I got the lamb gyro plate and all I can say is wow. Great food

I ordered online the shawerma plate for lunch.The order was ready as promised and the lady was super nice but the food let me down.The beef was too salty and the portion was small. The plate came with rice which was good and a small salad.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the service.. it could've been better but the FOOOD. It's flavorful, has every seasoning needed and the portions are great! I made this plate two meals. The beef kebob is a big size and the sizes are good

I don't get the chance to visit Bakersfield very often. However, this hidden gem of a restaurant absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. This is none other than "Pita House", a business that has been around since late-2010 and has been dishing out some amazingly excellent Mediterranean dishes. Located in a strip mall off of Ming Ave and Akers Rd, this business is in a large strip mall that consists of many other eateries and retail stores. Parking can get a little busy depending on the time of day or evening you come.After parking my vehicle, there are no actual windows where you can see inside. And also be careful not to go into the pupusa restaurant as that is right next door. However, when making my way inside, I noticed how this place has that old school look to it. Everything from the avocado-colored walls to the seats and floor tiles, it gives you those 1980's vibes. I also wanted to add that there is a very cool painting of a beach w/ocean near the ordering area as well as another painting of mountains and clouds behind the register.After glancing through their menu, I ended up going with their #24 "Gyro Deluxe" combo. This consisted of 1/2 Greek salad complete with gyro meat inside of pita bread. I chose lamb as my protein of choice. My lady went with their "Chicken Salad" which consists of onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, Romaine lettuce, and olives. There was only one lady working while the chefs were in the back cooking and preparing the food. We arrived around 7:50pm during the evening of Thursday 7/25/2024. Since there was a very large party (of about 8 people) that ordered right before us, the lady (which I am guessing is the owner/manager) said it would be a bit of a wait. I like being informed that it will take awhile to give us a heads up. However, it only took about 25 minutes which I did not mind at all.As far as my gyro and salad, everything tasted absolutely perfect. The salad had some of the greenest lettuce (we are in Kern County where there is so much agriculture here) and it was all very fresh. My gyro also had very generous amount of lamb while the pita was warm and soft. I even tried some of her chicken salad and even this was seasoned to perfection. After cleaning our plates and finishing our meals, we paid and give the lady a little tip. All in all, "Pita House" was a very pleasant surprise and one of the better Mediterranean places I've been to. So if you're in Bakersfield, definitely check them out. Keep in mind they are closed on Sundays but open every other day. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

It was a Monday evening, and we didn't want to cook. I had seen this place on Yelp. I love Mediterranean food, and this place had several good reviews.We were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered the chicken swarma with rice pilaf, hummus, and Taziki. Everything is made fresh, so we sat and enjoyed our tea while we waited. It was a bit quiet in the restaurant, but the chairs were comfortable.The food is a good value. The chicken flavorful, the hummus tasty. The menu is full of delights. I wanted to try the grape leaves, but they were out. The owner said, "You need to come earlier." That's a pretty good recommendation that they make things fresh everyday.This is a nice mom-and-pop restaurant you feel good eating at.

Flame and skewers move over..! The flavor and quality of food here is amazing! The woman who took our order is the owner I believe, and I think a relative is the cook, just based on how they were communicating .It did take some time to come out, but when it did... it was well worth the wait. I'll definitely be back!

Pita House is a Clean and casual restaurant. They are family friendly. You can dine in or take out and they do catering. I was early for lunch so not many people in restaurant. They have a Lovely hand painted mural of a Jordan valley & mountains on one of their walls. It has been Family owned since 2011. I had their Melt in your mouth tender & Delicious beef gyro & tzatziki sauce served with house salad of fresh crunchy veggies with house vinaigrette dressing. The portions are Generous. They have beef, lamb or chicken gyro meat for your preference. I highly recommend their food!

Wow just wow!! The food at this place blew us away. We were served by the owner who was very nice. We wiped the plates clean!!!

My family really loved the food here! The chicken shish kebab tasted amazing and the service was too. Thank you, ma'am, I love the choice of music for your restaurant!

First time eating here and I've had shawarma before but not here in Bakersfield so I was excited to try this place. I got the lamb shawarma with rice and hummus and it did not disappoint! 10/10 and I will definitely be coming back. Also the lady who helped me was very friendly. It was kind of quiet in the restaurant but it was nicely decorated and felt very homey. :)
