I love Mediterranean food so when I saw this place, we had to go inside and try it. I didn't realize it closed at 2:30pm until we spoke to the owner. It is a family owned restaurant, which I love. She politely said we could still order and eat inside. It was 2:00pm. We were the only ones inside the restaurant. It is decorated with items from Egypt. Paintings of pharaohs and pyramids. A few people came in to grab their to go orders. She explained that since the pandemic, they do more take out than dine in. We tried the hummus and pita, which was delicious. She mentioned their falafel was one of their best items, so I had to try it. It came with four pieces. They were piping hot and so good. I dipped them in the hummus. I also ordered the chicken kabab (marinated chicken with peppers, onions, and tomatoes over their homemade rice. I asked for no tomatoes and the beef shawarma plate with a Greek salad and tahini sauce. The food was good. I loved the Greek salad with big chunks of tomatoes. The chicken kabab (which she did explain did not come in a skewer) was a bit dry. I dipped it in the hummus. It lacked a bit of presentation. Something that took me by surprise was that we were given our food on paper plates, with paper cups and plastic forks, even though we were eating inside the restaurant. Not sure if it's the same for all lunch and/or dinner. The owner is very nice and I truly appreciated her letting us eat there even though it was close to closing hour. I took the rest of the hummus and pita to go so they could close at 2:30pm. Overall, great experience and good food.

Family owned, Middle Eastern, great fresh flavors. Excellent spot for lunch. Really enjoyable experience. Can't wait for my next gyro wrap

I did take out... the food was excellent, we ordered the falafel wrap..the falafel was very moist .. and the gyro wrap.. pita was perfect .. it was prepared quickly... great service

We were in Chapel Hill in September for a family wedding and stayed on Weaver Dairy Rd. during our trip. On the first night, we made a beeline for hushpups and q, but on the second night, we wanted healthier fare. Yelp led us just down the street to the wonderful Pita Grill, where we had the first of 3 dinners during our week in NC, because it was just that good! The first night, it was just hubby and me and we had the chicken schwarma and kofta. Both were moist, generous in serving size, and flavorful. I loved that the chef is not afraid of using herbs and spices! The next meal was with our son and his gf who are vegetarian. They loved the Mediterranean platter, while we had the souvlaki platter and the gyro platter. Again, generous servings, fresh, and full of flavor. The third night we dined at the Pita Grill, we treated my 93-year old mother who had not had Greek/Mediterranean food in at least 20 years. Of course, she fell in love, as we all had, with the soft, spongy, warm pita bread they serve. And being a lamb lover, she dove into the gyro platter with gusto and abandon! I can't say enough good things about the owner (I assumed), who was also our server on all three times we dined there. She was humble and kind and incredibly attentive to us. I was also happy to see they seemed to have a steady stream of take-out orders when we were there, which gave me hope that they they will be there when we are back in NC again. My family is definitely looking forward to returning to the Pita Grill, when we are back in Chapel Hill. If we lived there, we would be regular take-out customers.

Mmmmm so good. Took my son for a late birthday meal and we both had gyro platters, and we sampled Spanakopita and a side of falafel with tahini dip. The gyro meat was crispy but not dry, the falafel & tahini a unique mix of spices & moist, and not greasy or heavy. And the (owner?) was super-sweet & personable... chatting with us. Food came out very quickly, in case you are on the run or doing takeout. Definitely will come back with friends & family. Note: this is the same plaza as the Chelsea Theater- great for a pre-flick snack!

Pita Grill is a casual Mediterranean cafe in a strip center. First visit for me. I dined alone. The Mediterranean platter is excellent. Mine included baba ghanooj, chickpea salad, falafel and pita. The falafel is light and delicate -- tasty. The baba is well seasoned and goes nicely with fresh, soft, warm pita. The chickpea salad is served cold. I had baklava too, but was not so much a fan of this preparation. There is a bit too much cinnamon for my palate. Service was excellent. Overall loved this little, family-owned cafe.

Pita Grill was a great find thanks to Yelp. This is a humble mom-and-pop, family-owned-and-operated Mediterranean restaurant located in Timberlyne Village (Food Lion shopping center) near I-40 exit 266 (NC highway 86). My wife and I ordered several items and enjoyed everything. Not only was the food good, but the service was excellent. The mom/wife/owner of the restaurant was really friendly, the small staff of three worked very efficiently, and our order was ready in a snap. If you like Mediterranean food, I recommend this place. Their pita is actually the best I've tried in the Triangle to date. I think it's even better than Med Deli's pita. We ordered from the Dinner Entrees section of the menu. Here's what we got (descriptions from menu): * Gyro Platter ($14.25) - Greek salad, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives, green pepper, feta, pita, and tzatziki * Kofta Kabob ($14.25) - marinated ground beef with grilled onions, bell pepper, and tomato over special homemade rice * Chicken Shawarma Plate ($13.75) - chicken shawarma served with Greek salad and tahini * Baba Ghanoush side, with pita (8 ounces for $5.50) * Rice Pudding dessert ($3.25) Everything was delicious. If I had to be critical, I liked the Chicken Shawarma the least because the chunks of chicken were a little dry. However, it wasn't anything the side of tahini couldn't fix. The tahini was a must. The Gyro wasn't the freshest, as in it didn't taste fresh off the spit. Instead, it was a little bit harder and crispier than the gyro I prefer, but that was OK. I still thought it was tasty and scrumptious, and nothing out of the ordinary. It was hard to find much wrong with any of the other dishes. I do recommend everything we had above except for perhaps the Chicken Shawarma, if you're picky about your shawarma. My wife liked it more than me, so maybe it's better than I'm making it out to be. One thing I loved about this place was the portion size of the Greek salad that was served with both the Gyro Platter and the Chicken Shawarma Plate. I love salads and Pita Grill served satisfyingly large portions of salad. It was great. The Greek salads were fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The Greek salad dressing was on point. I've eaten a lot of Kofta at various Mediterranean restaurants over the years. It's one of my most commonly-ordered items at Mediterranean restaurants because I like the taste and texture of kofta, which are similar to savory meatballs and hamburger. Pita Grill's Kofta entree came with four large pieces of Kofta. Each piece was a little bigger than about the size of a golf ball. The texture of the Kofta threw me off at first because it was a bit softer and looser - fell apart easier - than most other Kofta I've had. It still tasted yummy, though, spiced well and packed with flavor. My wife and I really liked the "special homemade" rice that came with the Kofta. Relatively large grains, fluffy, and flavorful. Buttery too. The cooked veggies - onion, bell pepper, tomato - were relatively "substantial" in size. For example, bold, juicy chunks of tomato. One thing the menu didn't mention was the side of macaroni salad that was included with both the Gyro Platter and Chicken Shawarma Plate. The macaroni salad came with carrot, celery, red onion, and seasoning. All veggies in the Greek salads, macaroni salads, and the cooked veggies that came with the Kofta were fresh, ripe, and hand-chopped. The macaroni salads were a wonderful unexpected bonus. The Baba Ghanoush tasted terrific and the portion size was plentiful. In my experience, most Mediterranean restaurants don't serve Baba Ghanoush in as generous of portions as Pita Grill's. If you like Baba Ghanoush, I don't think you'll be disappointed with Pita Grill's version. As for the pita, it was pretty much perfect. Fresh, warm, soft, springy, and pillowy with just the right texture, inside and out. A lot of Mediterranean restaurants can serve plain, hard, cold/room temp, and bland pita. Pita Grill serves the opposite. They back their name up. There are multiple restaurants with "Pita" in the name that I've had sad or average-at-best pita. Not here. Do get the Rice Pudding dessert. I suggest ordering one rice pudding per person. It's outstanding. It's cold and sweet with vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Smooth, creamy, and delectable. Pita Grill's other dessert option is Baklava (same price, $3.25 each). The restaurant also offers entree-sized salads, other plates and platters such as Chicken Kabob ($13.25), Chicken Souvlaki ($13.75), and Spanakopita ($13.50), plus pita wraps (expect to spend around $12 each for those), and soup. During our visit, the soup of the day was Lentil Soup ($7.50). Pita Grill's food travels well and is great for takeout. The restaurant isn't big, but it's not tiny either. They don't have a dedicated patio, but there are two covered, communal tables nearby outside that I believe belong to the shopping center. Pita Grill opened in August 2013.

Mediterranean is always a mixed bag and could be anything from Greek to the eastern shores of Africa but some of the staples are always available. Pita Grill was a convenient stop when leaving Chapel Hill headed back to the interstate and I was craving something a little different than the standard American fare. I had the gyro platter with a side of falafel and was very happy with the portion size, speed of preparation, and the courtesy of the staff. The only thing preventing the fifth star was due to some dryness in the meat and the Tzatziki sauce could have used some more.. zing, punch, depth... I'm not sure, as I've never personally made it but, when compared to the plethora of other Mediterranean places I've tried; this one lacked flavor and depth. The falafels were tasty, had a pretty good dipping sauce, and were of a good portion size. Being unfamiliar with the restaurant's offerings as this was my first visit; I think they would go really well with a spicy/hot sauce in addition to the standard dipping sauce. All in all; I'll most likely return and try a few of their other offerings and inquire if maybe my meal was just a one-off due to the situation surrounding this "new normal" to which we continue to adapt.
