Pita Thyme

Visited Pita Thyme for the first time in a while for a falafel plate with hummus, baba ganoush and tabouli. Incredibly tasty and authentic. Even the pickles were special what with their great flavor and a little bit of heat.5 stars for the super nice staff, too.

WORMS IN FOOD.... SANITATION HAZARD!!!!!I came here because they're one of the closest places downtown with good reviews. I ordered beef shawarma and asked multiple times if it was gluten free. They just stared at me bewildered and finally said no, the beef doesn't have flour. I get this plate and it looks like there's spaghetti in the rice. As I continue eating it I notice these strings are all different sizes and I'm so grossed out and horrified. The taste of food is like a 4/10 but I'm so disgusted that I can't finish it. It's too bad because I wasted $14 and I'm just visiting Boston for a short time. Unacceptable!

Delicious food, fast, friendly service, and generous portions. I got a falafel plate for around $12. Comes with 3 big falafel, a choice of 3 sides, and a piece of pita bread. I saw another review claiming there were worms in the food so for some reason I had to go try it myself! Ha. They aren't worms and I don't know how someone would assume they are worms. The menu literally says "vermicelli rice" and it's delicious. Everything I got was really tasty and surprisingly I couldn't finish it (a rare occurrence). The falafel probably could've been a little more crispy, but that's also tough to do without frying it once I order, and then it takes a lot longer to get my food - so I'm okay with the trade off. The hot sauce and tahini on top were perfect. I will be back because the other sides also looked tasty. Glad to have found this lunch spot!

Love this lunch spot downtown. Best falafels in Boston (sorry Falafel King). There is always a long line at lunch but it's a good sign and it moves fast! So yummy!!!

I actually wanted to try the Turkish restaurant next to it, but unfortunately they were closed. I decided to give this place a try. I was not disappointed. The Fattoush salad was pretty good. Definitely try their spicy potatoes. Would recommend this place!

Quick lunch here at Pita Thyme with a middle eastern theme. Pick your base, pick your protein, pick your sides. Pretty simple, really.I chose the plate, opting for chicken and for sides, the spicy potatoes, hummus and tabouleh. I asked for added "white sauce" as well.It was quite the decent sized portion, especially since it came with pita bread too. The chicken was moist and hot, the potatoes were fried cubes with a spicy dusting on them, hummus was light and creamy, tabouleh was deliciously piquant. An excellent and inexpensive meal, especially so for a lunch on a budget.Yum!

My favorite spot for falafel! I love stopping by to grab lunch quickly. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. I love the falafel wrap, and appreciate all the vegetarian options. The staff is friendly, too.

I don't quite understand the heaping praise for this place, as there are so many lunch options in the area serving Mediterranean food. I feel like 4 stars is generous - 3.5 is more appropriate. I ordered the kefta kebab plate, with spicy potatoes, hummus, and fattoush salad. Everything seems fresh and fairly tasty, but the kebabs and pita were dry and the kefta lacked seasoning. The fattoush salad was fine, although I would have expected pita chips on top, which is traditionally how it is served (maybe they just forgot). For me, the highlight was probably the spicy potatoes and helpful staff.

Pita Thyme has been great for years and I am so happy they survived Covid as one of the better takeout lunch spots downtown.It seems pricey but the amount of food you get in comparison to other Mediterranean places is incredible.The staff are always so nice and do a great job. Keep up the excellent work!

Pros:- the plates are good (I like the options, particularly the hummus and baba ghanouj)- the line gets pretty long at lunch time but it goes pretty quickCons:- they don't provide enough chips for the hummus
