I’ve been waiting months for this location to open and I got lunch there today. It was everything I hoped it would be. Flavorful, delicious Mediterranean food through and through. I got their pita wrap with chicken and it was awesome. That basil chimichurri? Chef’s kiss. And don’t even get me started on those falafel, some of the best I’ve ever had. You can really taste the herbs in them and it’s incredible. The service was great too, super nice staff. I took it to go but the location is decorated really nicely, good atmosphere. 5/5, definitely gonna be a repeat customer.

The gyro bowl was fresh, flavorful, and filling. The sauces were topnotch, especially the jalapeño cilantro. Next time, I’ll definitely get a side of sauce too! The dining area was clean, and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great experience.

Massive portion sizes of homecooked Mediterranean wraps. Think like Mediterranean chipotle. Great value

Pita and Basil is the best Mediterranean food place in the South Bay. I used to be a fan of Cava, but after coming here, the quality is just on another level. Everything tastes fresh, natural, and clean. It really feels like the food is coming from your own kitchen. They use real olive oil, and you can taste the difference. It makes the food richer and more authentic. The staff is always kind, helpful, and welcoming. They take their time and make you feel comfortable. It’s honestly a happy place. Highly recommend.

I’m so grateful this place opened where it did! I frequently visit Pure Bean next door and have been wishing for more gluten free food options nearby. The people here are so kind and I’ve never had any issues as someone who can’t have gluten or dairy. The bowls are filling and flavorful, but it’s also nice to have the option to make a “less flavorful” bowl for my toddler by omitting sauces and toppings that she doesn’t like. Can’t recommend it enough! Family friendly, allergy friendly, and delicious!

It’s like a locally owned Cava, but higher quality ingredients. Super nice staff and owners. We will be back frequently. The gyro beef / lamb is awesome

This is one of those places where the owners remember every customer , and the emphasis is on quality over margin. Always treat my daughter like a star. Best pita place in the southbay by a mile . Do yourself a favor and try it out .

Excellent fresh healthy food, great friendly service. I wish there wasn’t so much plastic packaging (prefer chipotle style compostable bowls) but everything else was really good and excited to have this place in my neighborhood!

Amazing new addition to the southbay! Such good flavors of meat and amazing sauces, love that they don't use any seed oils either - will definitely make this my new staple

Highly recommend. Cava/chipotle style for Mediterranean food that is clean and tastes truly homemade.

I love this place. It’s like a Mediterranean Subway. Pick your protein, vegetables, sauces. Way better than most pita places in the area. Staff is friendly and attentive. Only negative I can come up with is they’re closed on the weekends. I really want these guys to succeed. So I’ll just say highly recommended.

Pita sandwich is really good, got that the first time I went and loved it…would have given five stars but they forgot like half my toppings when I ordered a bowl recently. Definitely stick with the pita sandwich next time

Hubby and I ordered to go. We both got bowls. I asked for half and half, chicken and falafel. I also opted for the pita that comes in the bowl as a choice. I got neither the falafel or the pita. Only discovered this once we got home. Really unfortunate, but the food is really tasty. Double check your order before heading home yall.
