Eat-a-Pita Lebanese Cuisine: Authentic, Appetizing, and Affordable

Recently my friend and I spontaneously decided to drive down to Palm Springs, California and grab some dinner. After parking in the downtown area, we took a stroll and surveyed all the eateries and establishments that the town had to offer. We came across "Eat-a-Pita" the menu display was enough to prompt us to step inside and it give the place a try.

The restaurant is located at the back of a small store alley, but signs up in front of the alley direct you where to go. When we walked in, we immediately noticed how the place appeared cozy and excellently decorated with a Mediterranean feel. The menu offers broiled delicacies such as Shawarmas (grilled thinly sliced fresh tender beef that has been specially seasoned), Kefta Kebabs, Pita Burgers, and grilled Chicken and Steak Pita dishes. There are also vegetarian dishes available such as "Falafel" (garbanzo beans, cilantro, parsley, onions, garlic, and special spices), Hummos, and Fried Eggplant and Zucchini. Lebanese style salads are also availables such as Tabbouleh Salad (cracked wheat, parsley, and tomatoes), Khiar Yogurt (yogurt, cucumber, and fresh mint), and Greek Salad. Combination dishes are also available such as half sandwiches and half salad combos which are also interchangeable with the soup of the day. Combination dishes cost $5.95. Salads range from $4.25 to $8.95 depending on size and variety. Vegetarian dishes range from $3.95 to $ 7.25 depending if you want it as a sandwich or plate style. Broiled delicacies range from $5.75 to $ 8.95, depending on size and style. Plate entrées include sides of hummos, green salad and rice or potatoes.

I chose the Shawarma broiled delicacy plate and it was delicious! The hummos and green salad sides were my favorites of all. The food tasted very authentic and made me really enjoy that style of dining. The service was decent as there was only one person serving at the time and not whole lot of people crowding the place. My friend and I left feeling very satisfied and our money well worth spent. I highly recommend this place if you are within the area.
