Pita House

Frommer's Review

Look fast to find the tiny, popular Pita House--its unassuming facade recedes slightly from a generic stretch of local highway dominated by strip malls and super-size gas stations--but it's well worth the search. A gregarious family runs this simple diner (a few yellowed posters of the Holy Land and piped-in Arabic pop qualify as the only atmosphere). They serve a full range of pan-Mediterranean dishes--falafel, gyro, souvlaki, lamb kebabs, stuffed grape leaves, beef and chicken schwarma (sort of a less-spicy souvlaki) and more. Save room for a wedge of dainty, flaky-sweet pastry (the baklava with pistachios is a favorite). The dozen or so tables spill over into a corner of the restaurant that doubles as a grocery store. You wouldn't think to come across exotic Medjool dates, at least five kinds of olives, and fresh spices galore in this buckle of the Bible Belt.
