Wow! I'm blown away. I accidentally stumbled upon your blog (just today). I'm like a kid in a candy store as you seem to love my favorite subject! Cooking, recipes and sharing. I will mark this as a favorite. I live in Maine, around the Portland area. I'm a paralegal and love to cook in my spare time. (even when the time reallyisn't "spare" time). I will be back to visit. Let's get to 200 messages very soon! Enjoy and thank you for the warm welcome. Donna from Maine

I think there's lamb in there too, actually. If you're looking for just lamb, etc. you can request them to do the meat cubes that they use in the mixed grill sandwich. I love them all.

I reviewed Pita Hut and a number of others for Yelp and Pita Hut is the best, mainly because of all the condiments. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that their shawarma is made of beef and turkey (gag me with a spoon). I guess all the condiments (including the hot sauce) cover up the taste. lol

just went to the one in Hilliard and it is just as clean and wonderful as the other.

There is a new Pita Hut n Grille on Hilliard Rome by the Subway and Cookie Cutters. Yanni's off of Cleveland Ave/270 N has fantastic gyros and baklava.

We love this place. My hubby lived in the middle east and he says the taste is the most authentic around. I love their baba, it's the only baba I will eat. mmm

The Pita Hut falafel is about the best I've had in this city, and undoubtedly an excellent value. The kibbeh and the hummus are also very good — and I'm very happy that they are opening another shop in Hilliard, which will be closer to my house.

However, I'll have to keep looking for a better shawarma: A little Pita Hut shawarma, mixed in a sandwich with vegetables and a few condiments, can indeed be tasty initially; eventually, I find that the flavor becomes vulgar, the result of too much Fenugreek, a spice that can be too intense when not used judiciously. I would also get rid of the turkey — I'd love to find shawarma that would rely more on lamb than anything else.

Any other good shawarma or homemade gyros shops in Columbus?

This place has really good humus, however I witnessed them serving food from the same spoon/spatula that was used to shovel raw meat from a plastic tub WITHOUT cleaning it. Beware, that is very unsanitary.

My friends and I frequent Bob's Bar for happy hour and we almost always grab Pita Pit to bring in for dinner. I LOOOOOVE their falafel!

So true. It's funny how the places that don't look like much on the outside somehow have the most delicious food inside. It's a good thing we don't live closer. I joked to my husband yesterday that if we had bought a house in Beechwold (the neighborhood the restaurant is in) like we had planned, that we would be walking there pretty much every day.
