Kismet Rotisserie Pasadena - Review - Pasadena - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Kismet Rotisserie has expanded into Pasadena, bringing along its orange-yellow ‘70s lunchroom look and pastel green chairs. This location has a lot more seating than others, but the menu is the same with bowls, plates, pita sandwiches, and rotisserie chicken with chili oil and garlic sauce." - Cathy Park

When the menu is nice and simple you know the food is good. The chicken is perfectly cooked and delicious and juicy. Super healthy that does not sacrifice on flavor. The interior is very clean and nice, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

I really wanna like this place because they have great flavors and sometimes the chicken tender. but so far each time I've purchased a whole rotisserie chicken, to go, cut at $30 per chicken, it's been incredibly dry. yesterday, I specifically asked to get a chicken that was not overcooked, but when I got home, I still ended up with one of the driest rotisserie chickens I've ever had. at $30 per chicken this kind of consistency is not really worth it.

Came here on opening day. I love the look and feel of their bright/colorful interior. The food was delightful and bursting with flavor. I ordered the rotisserie chicken, side salad and hummus. You definitely need to order their garlic sauce with the chicken. It’s the best garlic sauce I ever had. The hummus was fresh made, so light and fluffy.

My family and I have eaten here a few times and have enjoyed it but this past instance, my husband got really sick from eating the wedge salad that typically comes with the chicken. I hope that this establishment can clean and prepare raw veggies properly.

What a lucky find in Altadena! I love Mediterranean food and if you love fresh food, crisp vegetables, and great chicken, you're really going to like the spot. I love the cabbage salad and the smashed potatoes as well. I think that more than one location but now I don't have to travel outside of Altadena to get great Mediterranean food.

Welcome to the neighborhood Kismet! It’s a YES for us! I know it’s all about the chicken, but my Veggie plate substitute potatoes feels like the ordering hack that vegetarian dreams are made of - possibly the best take out vegetarian meal in LA! Can’t wait to try everything else on the menu!

Overpriced. Food is fine. Not worth what they charge. Got the quarter chicken lunch. Big piece, juicy. Got the chicken soup for nine dollars. It had two pieces of chicken in it.

I’m all about enjoying life as much as I can so I try to eat at Kismet at least 5/6 times a week. My first time at the Pasadeener location and it hit the spot! It always hits the spot. This time the pickles and the soup really stood out for me. I also loved the staff here. Max and Queyen were delightful and friendly and talked just the right amount.

A really lovely return visit to Kismet with my mom. We were in the mood for something comforting, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared, and it was exactly what the day called for. I ordered the meats and potatoes plate with white meat, served with hummus, their beautifully seasoned potatoes, warm pita, and all the sauces. The hot chili oil and whipped garlic were especially good. It was the kind of meal that feels cozy and grounding, like food as care, while still feeling light and wholesome. My mom had the spicy chicken bowl, which she really enjoyed. Everything tasted intentional and well balanced. We paired our meal with the carrot ginger lemonade, and you could truly taste each ingredient, fresh and vibrant. It's a more casual, counter style experience, but the service was genuinely kind. The same person took our order and brought our food, and their warmth made the experience feel easy and welcoming. It felt good to return after so long, and it reminded me why this place is so special. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

The chicken and schmaltzy potatoes at Kismet are must orders. They serve an excellent rotisserie chicken and, as is natural, the potatoes are excellent as well - flavorful and crisp with roughed up edges. They come with hummus and a very tart, bright salad. The pita is excellent fresh but is a bit tough as it ages. I'm still figuring out what the best things to order here because their sauces and seasoning can be a bit much. I didn't like the flavors of the gingery onions in their California Pita sandwich which comes with chicken, gingery turmeric roasted onions, cucumbers, yogurt sauce, arugula.

I came here to meet a friend for lunch who had tried this place during covid. She mentioned the potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. It was quiet when we got there and I ended up ordering the salad with grilled chicken. It was perfect and not spicy depsite having Fresno chilies. The potatoes according to my friend were not as good as she remembered but I enjoyed them and thought they were delicious. If they sat there a while, then they got greasy but my friend said they were not like that the last time. The service was awesome as they were patient with me as I made my selection. They brought out the food once it was ready and the place is simply decorated and clean.

This is such a cute spot for delicious Mediterranean food! Upon entering on a weekday early evening, my friend and I were loving how simple yet sleek the interior was. The employees were happy to take our order and answer any questions we had, as it was our first time there. My friend and I shared schmaltzy potatoes and a half chicken plate, which comes with hummus, wedge salad, pickles, 2 pitas, chili oil, and garlic sauce. It was plenty of food for 2 people! We especially loved the chili oil and garlic sauce - we have never heard of chili oil served with rotisserie chicken and pita bread and we are so happy we tried the combo because it was DELICIOUS! Excellent chicken and hummus as well. We definitely want to try this place again and try more of their options!

These crispy potatoes! They stole the show. The chicken breast was a little bit on the dry side, sadly, but I would definitely try their chicken again, perhaps opting for a sandwich instead of the half bird. The pita and hummus were divine. I honestly think it's the best I've had in a really long time. Everything was so flavorful and garlicky and fragrant, this place was a hit! The service could be friendlier but maybe they were having a rough day? Parking was a bit of a pain but there is a side lot if you are willing to wait during the busy lunch hour! All in all a solid 4/5.

Just the cutest little restaurant that has fresh & delicious Mediterranean food! I split the chicken plate for 2 with a side of schmaltzy potatoes. More than enough food! Came with chicken, salad, hummus, pita, pickled veggies, etc. Reminds me of everything I would get from zankou but with a fancy & fresh flare. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior makes you so happy! Definitely recommend

We all got the chicken plate (2 breasts and a dark meat) and were impressed with the sides, but not the chicken (over cooked and dry). My wife loved the smooth and creamy hummus, but I thought it was a bit bland. We all loved the wedge, pickled cabbage and other veg, but beware of the little pepper because it will light your mouth on fire if you take more than a nibble. With better chicken, it would have easily earned that fifth star. (And as a side note, they have a pretty tasty chocolate chip/tahini cookie.)

I am unsure why it took me so long to try this place but it was BEYOND solid! We got the chicken plate so it was such a great and complete meal! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful! We of course could not NOT get the schmaltzy potatoes! That was heavenly! I loved it so much and have been telling friends left and right about this place! So good! Hope they expand more east!

A certain app that starts with "I" (not the 'gram), known for delivering groceries, has been branching out into restaurant delivery and enticed me to order from Kismet Rotisserie with a special offer. I'd been a fan of the East Hollywood restaurant for years and didn't need much convincing. On a cold, drizzly day, I decided to order a whole chicken and a carrot ginger drink for lunch. (When you work from home, you need to treat yourself now and then.) Service was extremely prompt, and the chicken was piping hot. This was definitely a great rotisserie chicken, crisp skin with plump, juicy meat. The chili oil and garlic sauce, very generous portions, were the perfect accompaniments. And the carrot ginger drink was the perfect pairing. I'm so glad that Kismet has maintained their excellent standards and that I don't have to go out to have their great food. Five stars all the way.

Randomly noticed this place on the way to the gym and decided to look it up on yelp as I'd seen the name somewhere before. I saw from one of the reviews that this location opened a few weeks ago and figured I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did! There were a decent amount of people in the restaurant eating, as well as some grabbing to go orders which was a good sign. I also enjoyed the window into the kitchen, watching as they prepared orders and the rotisserie chickens. I ordered the chicken caesar pita and a side of the schmaltzy potatoes and a hibiscus cooler. Everything was good and very fresh. Also love the little pocket of dill I hit in the pita sandwich.

I was so happy to see this new restaurant pop up in my neighborhood. I do love chicken!! I finally made my way to the restaurant, and ordered a Kismet salad, with chicken: to-go. I got home, watched my movie and ate my salad which was pretty good. But afterwards, I was thinking, wait... wasn't there chicken in there? I didn't remember tasting chicken, but I knew I'd seen chicken when I first opened the container. Did I just spend $26 on a salad, from a counter-service restaurant that is named after chicken... and I don't even remember eating chicken?! Maybe I'll go back and give them another try, but I'm probably more likely to go to Costco and get an entire roast chicken for $5.

So yeah, I've found one of the best potato dishes around these parts. A co-worker recommended this spot, calling Kismet's schmaltzy potatoes to unalive for. Based on that testimony alone, I had to try these bad boys. It was a little out of the way for me on this hot, low-energy day, so I called in for delivery. Ordered the following: - Schmaltzy Potatoes - 8.7/10: Wow, man, so good. I'm pretty sure they're fried, or they could be baked, but what makes them so good is how crispy they are on the outside and super fluffy on the inside. They're seasoned nicely as well and they give you a generous amount for a more than fair price. Addictive for sure. Came with this garlic dipping sauce that just was a perfect complement for this dish. - Chicken Pita - 7.5/10: Solid dish with heaping amounts of shredded rotisserie chicken. All this stuffed in a large pita pocket. My only complaint about this dish is that I wished they had cut the onions a little thinner. They're too big. Otherwise, solid sandwich. I'll definitely come back for the rotisserie chicken.

Got the party pack for 4 to take to Hollywood Bowl. Everyone enjoyed it. I recommend. I just wish they offered tabouli

Wanted a healthier lunch option and Kismet is close to my job. Service is always good, with a friendly staff. Place is clean with lots of bright light from the windows. I like sitting by the windows facing the street and people watch during lunch. The schmaltzy potatoes and wedge salad are SO good. I also occasionally get this carrot gingerade drink thats really fresh and delicious. I keep going back just for those. The chicken is good but sometimes when I go, it's a bit dry. Also flavor wise, I don't think it's anything special. Hummus is okay. I've had better but still solid. Definitely will keep returning for lunch.

Wow what an incredible gem of a place! We weren't planning on eating here but the beautiful design and menu caught our eye, so we went! And thank You Jesus because the meal summed up in one word was: WOW. The pita bread was so delicious and thick and chewy. The garlic sauce and chili oil were the perfect accompaniment to the rotisserie chicken. The potatoes were so crispy and fluffy (you MUST get it, I'm serious!) and the wedge salad was so refreshing and light. This was an overall 5-Star experience, and if you're in the area you would absolutely be remiss to not stop by. Wonderful customer service from Aaron, thank you Aaron!

A cute space, and good food. It stays quite busy, and the inside space is very small, so it feels crowded really easily. My friend and I ate outside for this reason. I had a kids plate and it was great! (Chicken, veggies, pita, and hummus). My friend got a pita... The special of the month, and she enjoyed it, but found that it did not have very much chicken in it.

For something being such a simple concept, Kismet is sooo good. Everything was seasoned and cooked so well. The restaurant itself is really clean, but it's pretty small inside and there's also no public restroom from what I saw. The parking lot is also tiny, but there's street parking all around. First off their hummus was a 10/10 flavor and texture wise. I really enjoyed the dressing for the salad also. I liked that the chicken plate came with pickled veggies too - which I also really enjoyed! I got the potatoes too as a side and they were so crispy and I liked the garlic sauce with it. For my drink I got their carrot ginger juice that tasted really fresh and I enjoyed it. All in all I can say I had a 10/10 first experience at Kismet!

I have to preface this by saying I'm not the biggest fan of rotisserie or roast chicken but I do love them when they blow me away like the roast chicken at Zuni Cafe in SF. I hardly ever order it but once in a while it just hits me and I have a craving. So one sunny weekend day I found myself in front of Kismet with said craving and an appetite for destruction. The place was very minimalistic and modern but eerily devoid of people. I placed my order and in all the time I waited, no one else entered the store. So I took my food to go since I didn't want to hear myself chewing. I'm not sure if it was the short drive home or not but the chicken was sadly quite dry and lacked any zip. The additional sauces were not shining through and the textures were really nothing to write home about. Call it Kismet but the lack of people on the day I went should have told me the chicken was destined to disappoint. But again, maybe it overcooked on the way home so I will give them another chance in the future when perhaps I see people there!

Looking to support local businesses and went to Kismet in Altadena for the first time for lunch. My friend and I ordered Chicken Pita and Big Green Salad to share. Ingredients were very fresh, and seasoned well . We needed to request additional dressing for salad. Once we added more dressing it made good salad even better. Chicken in Pita was juicy and would recommend. Started to eat inside then chose to move outside (even with it being pretty warm) Inside the music was too loud to hold conversation. Nice find and plan to return and support Altadena businesses recover from disastrous fires that hit in January. Check out Kismet Rotisserie

Kismet Rotisserie is really a local gem. The interior is very warm and nicely decorated. There are only 4 tables inside, but there were lots of togo orders placed. Definitely go for the chicken pita sandwich if you want something light yet filling. The pita was densely packed and filled with chicken, greens, and onions. However, if eating with your hands and getting messy isn't your thing, the chicken plates are also delicious. We ordered the quarter chicken (dark) and it came with hummus, pita, pickles, and wedge salad. The dark meat on the chicken was extremely juicy, tender, and flavorful. The wedge salad was covered in a tangy yet light dressing. The pickles are not the generic cucumber pickles but the cabbage pickles and helps cuts the strong flavors. The one MUST HAVE are the potatoes! They were the perfect balance of crispy and buttery. The potatoes come with a garlic sauce and it really completes the bite. The parking situation there is street parking, but I believe the parking lot a few stores north of Kismet is shared amongst the couple restaurants on that block. We will definitely come back and try more of the menu, especially their cookies!

My friend took me here to try this and i was pretty disappointed. We got a salad, the potatoes and the chicken for 2 meal (for me) I was gonna just get the chicken meal for one but my friend who's been before told me it wouldn't be enough food for me and ordered the meal for 2 for me....which was $37. She was paying so I didn't argue, but was taken back by the price. If you're gonna charge $37 for a half a chicken and a salad, it better be the one of the best chickens I've ever had and ugh...it was far from it. I mean it was fine, I just can't say it was really any better than grocery store rotisserie chicken. I also wasn't into the salad. It was a big chunk of iceberg lettuce, with a bland poppyseed dressing and pickled vegetables that overpowered everything senses The hummas and garlic sauce were good though. The ambiance is nice, but it takes way too long to get your food, when we ordered my friend said now it's gonna take them like 20 mins and it didn't take that long, but an unusual amount of time considering what they're serving isn't any different than Zan Kou and that comes out in seconds. I don't really want to hate on this place cause I want to promote local businesses and all but it's just absurd to charge that amount for chicken. The potatoes were really good though. Might come back just for those.

Their place in Pasadena is super cute with some seating. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, my favorite dip is the tzatziki so fresh and light. Their potatoes are so perfect soft inside with just the right amount of crisp outside. It's counter service, nothing stood out.

Summer 2025 About 10+ visits Glad to see KR in Lincoln Village. Small, bright dine-in area, with a few chairs/tables on the sidewalk. I've always done take-out - quick, easy, sit inside and wait. The food is good, fresh, and hot. One time the chicken was only warm: since then, I've asked for "hot chicken." I've ordered dark chicken, schmaltzy potatoes, and the dinner plate - chicken with pita/hummus, pickles. I like their food, but the price point is a little high to justify being a regular (1 person, $30). Plus, I can approximate the meal at Vons with a hot rotisserie chicken, fresh bread, and hummus - I just add KR's irreplaceable potatoes! Staff is friendly (wish KR didn't have the ubiquitous tip screen - there is no extra service to be given). Also, once I received a 10% locals' discount (one time discount only?). I do hope, as I hope with all newcomers to Lincoln Village, that KR supports the local community - through hiring, support of John Muir, etc. Welcome KR and enjoy their chicken!

A very welcome addition to the Pasadena/Altadena food scene! I'm not typically a rotisserie chicken gal but Kismet changed the game for me. This super cute spot is nestled close by Home State and shares a parking lot with them. Chicken Caesar wrap (April 2025 exclusive but will hopefully be a menu regular) 10/10 - honestly my new favorite wrap in LA, refreshing and wrapped in the most pillowy pita bread. Dill was a little much but that's just a me problem Quarter Chicken Plate 9/10 - delicious don't get me wrong, we got the dark meat plate and it came with a leg and thigh both were on the smaller side - just a heads up. However all of the accoutrements really made the meal filling. Also NEED to shout out the garlic sauce - absolutely divine and in my opinion better than Zankou's legendary garlic toum, never thought I'd say that! Will be back soon and will need to order a whole chicken!

I ordered delivery from Kismet while I was recovering from surgery. It was exactly everything I wanted, the Caesar chicken wrap is loaded with fresh and bright ingredients like dill and watermelon radish. The pita was fresh, soft, delicious and it didn't fall apart like some other pitas will. The schmaltzy potatoes are cooked and seasoned to perfection. Absolutely delicious meal!

Overall, the food seems delicious and clean. This isn't your fast food type of chicken. The chicken noodle soup didn't taste like it was too salty or pump full of MSG. Just clean chicken noodle soup. The quarter chicken meal for two was a good amount of food with a pita and hummus.

It's a chicken place and the chicken was definitely the star. It was excellent. The white salad is a little bit awkward but tasty and the pickled vegetables are excellent. However, the hummus is really lacking. It has no flavor whatsoever except for the spice on top, which should not be on hummus. There's no garlic and no lemon and I personally like to dip my chicken and hummus so for me it fell flat as far as that goes. The bread is great as bread, but as a pita to eat with your chicken, it was a little difficult. Overall, I would come back, but I need something more with my hummus.

Picked up a whole chicken because I just didn't want to cook tonight and I'm so happy I did! Very tasty, moist and succulent rotisserie chicken with a tangy garlic sauce and spicy chili oil. Between the excellent food and friendly staff it's a winner, winner chicken dinner!!!

I've never seen hummus come without pita. They should make it more clear on the menu. Picked up a tub of hummus with a salad and they wouldn't give me a pita to go with. Pretty overpriced for what you get and the customer service isn't great. It was crowded and my order for a cold item was late for pick up because they were filling a huge catering order first. I really want to like this place because the food is pretty good, but it's overpriced and every time I try again I'm disappointed.

Such a great addition to the neighborhood. I got the chicken pita and it was perfect. Big. Juicy. Flavorful. I was especially impressed by how well the ingredients were distributed through the whole pita. Most times, when you order a pita, the ingredients are just toppings and once you get through the first few bites, the dish becomes bland. Not here, the delicious recipe is layered throughout the pita making the last bite just as (if not, more) amazing as the first. And the aesthetic of the place is so beautifully designed. Very friendly and attentive service as well. This feels like a place that can become a part of my frequent repertoire.

Came in with my kids to order an a la carte chicken. We waited for about 12-15 min, kids were starting to get hungry and the family that ordered after us (and they ordered a full spread) were served their food so I went to check up on our order. When I did, I said "I just wanted to check up because we ordered before them" and man behind the counter looked at me right in the face with wide eyes and just said "YEAH". Nothing else. Not a sorry, yours is next, let me make sure yours is coming. And when I had a surprised look he just stared at me in the face intensely. It was honestly one of the strangest, most negative experiences for nothing and my kids were right there. What happened to decency? Food is good. But that, that was just bad.

Nice new Gem in Altadena. Came in last Friday and there was three people in line ahead of me and the staff was very helpful in answering their questions. I knew what I wanted and the food didn't disappoint. The chicken rice bowl was really flavor full. The chicken pita sandwich is one of the few sandwiches I have come across where they stuff the sandwich. I would just recommend purchasing some garlic sauce to go with it as it was bland to me. The schmaltzy potatoes are the real deal! The garlic sauce is gold and I dipped the potatoes in it...flavor heaven! The half chicken was good and had nice flavor even without the chili oil and garlic sauce but those two definitely add to the flavor. Overall good place for lunch if you are in the area.

Love the chicken plate - potatoes, pita, and salad. REALLY don't understand the chicken pita sandwich. Whose idea was it to put big wads of cold rotisserie chicken in there? Kind of the grossest form of chicken to use at a rotisserie place.

Came here on opening day. I love how that interior is nice and bright. We ordered the rotisserie chicken with the hummus and salad as sides. The chicken is perfectly cooked and everything was savory and flavorful. The garlic sauce is a must order along with the meal. It is so good! Yummm

When I first ordered from here I thought the one pita per person in the four person meal seemed like it wouldn't be enough. 'Do I order more?' I thought to myself. I opted not to add any on. This was lucky as the pita they give you is nice and thick. Nothing like the skinny pita I was expecting. It's really good quality pita too. The schmaltz potatoes were also a hit with the entire family. The garlic dip is a nice addition. The chicken was also juicy which is nice because you can dry out chicken easily. Absolutely a hit with the family, and we will be ordering again.

Worst experience in my life , went with my family , and I order a bowl with chicken , on the menu is located on the area of plates and bowls , never said that the chicken is cold , I talked with the person that received my order and explained her that I don't like cold food especially if the chicken is cold and her answer was " oh this bowl is like a salad " , didn't do anything to help me ,besides that he said if you want a hot chicken you have to pay extra for a new order , horrible costumer service. Never come back again

I wanted to like this place more, but it wasn't very good. The chicken was good quality, but it was very dry. The pita was decent, but $2.50 for one piece is way too expensive. Iced tea was watery with no taste and no refills. As opposed to most of the restaurants in the area, the service was not friendly. I won't be going back.

Called in take out order. Ready on time and easy walk up and pick up. Chicken pita was delicious with a lot of unique flavors. The half chicken comes with a generous serving of sodes. Hummus, quarter wedge salad (miso poppy dressing so yummy) and pickled vegetables.

I heard of this new spot so decided to try. I ordered to go,the 1/4 plate light w/ salad,hummus, pita bread, peppers and a marinated cabbage. The chicken was flavorful and enough for 2 servings. I like the garlic sauce and spicey red sauce that compliments the chicken. The salad was good as well with thin radish layered on top. Cabbage and peppers equally on point! I will say though,the hospitality is lacking. Seeings how this is a new spot,you'd think the cashier would have been more welcoming. I got nothing. I stepped over to order ( not realizing she was assiting another guest), so i started to order,cashier said nothing,yet other guest walks up. Why not have said to me" I'll be with you shortly"? It was odd behavior. So I stepped aside. Once guest sat down,again nothing from cashier, I then had to say " are you ready for me"? I had to ask.. When my order was ready,no thank you for coming. While my entree was good,this cashier had zero hospitality or ppl skills..Let ppl know you appreciate them choosing THEIR establishment as I could easily have eaten elsewhere.

I'm sorry to say I do not understand the hype of Kismet Rotisserie at all. Two stars are for the worker at the register. She was incredibly sweet and provided great service. The food on the other hand is just not good here. My husband and I shared the half chicken plate, schmaltzy potatoes, the tahini-roasted veg, and a cup of bone broth. The rotisserie chicken here is flavorless and so dry. Genuinely the worst rotisserie chicken we've ever had. You're better off just going to the grocery store. The wedge salad was just iceberg with a poppyseed dressing slathered on it that tasted like it was a cheap premade bottle dressing. The hummus was gritty with very little flavor other than an odd taste of almost cinnamon or nutmeg. We barely touched it. The schmaltzy potatoes were very greasy and nothing special. I'm not sure why but I expected the tahini roasted veg to be warm, but it was more like a cold salad. I'm not sure what all is in it, but it just tasted like mayo. It was really gross. The most palatable item was probably the bone broth, but it also tasted like it had a week's worth of your daily value of sodium in it. For what the meal was, it was incredibly overpriced as well. One of the most disappointing meals we've had in a very long time.

This place is a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. Came opening day 03/29/2025 and was happy to see this new restaurant in our neighborhood. Service was amazing. They explained the whole menu and what they are all about. They are known for being super healthy, non-GMO chicken and all organically grown veggies including their chickpeas. They make their own hummus fresh every day and have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Very family friendly. We had the half chicken plate with dark meat, comes with a wedge lettuce salad with a in house made from scratch poppyseed dressing. The most delicious hummus I've ever tasted with a few roasted garbanzo's on top. Pickled radishes and cabbage and yellow peppers. Warm pita bread chili oil and garlic paste. The chicken itself was super moist and flavorful. If you're looking to have healthy food yet comforting at the same time, and good for the whole family, this is definitely the place to come.

I'm writing this review mainly because of the customer service experience. I occasionally do Uber Eats, and I know firsthand how some delivery drivers can be rude or impatient with restaurant staff. Because of that, I always make an effort to be respectful, patient, and not come across as obnoxious -- especially since l've also worked in restaurants myself, including during the Covid lockdown, and understand how stressful it can get. That said, l've had two separate pickup experiences from this restaurant, and both times the service was noticeably rude. The young person at the register had an attitude, barely acknowledged me, and even shoved items toward me instead of handing them over properly. I decided to give it another chance and placed an order for myself, hoping things would be different as a regular customer. Unfortunately, I was met with the same dismissive attitude and had my bag of food practically tossed at me. It came across as very unprofessional and unwelcoming. The food itself is good, but the customer service definitely needs improvement. A little courtesy and acknowledgment would make a huge difference.

Every aspect of my quarter-chicken plate was absolutely delicious, though the house-made pita was the star. One of the greatest breads I've ever tasted. Fantastic!

I really loved their schmaltzy potatoes w/ hummus and chicken. It's a wonderful combo! It's a little pricey but it's worth it - also their bread is amazing!

The chicken was a bit too al dente for me to feel comfortable that it was safe to eat. All of the veggie dishes were great.

This is one of our new favorite spots! The pita is super fluffy. The lemon bone broth is super flavorful, the wedge salad is amazing and of course the chicken is unbeatable. Great for lunch out side in the sun

Unfortunatley the food was awful. Chicken dish tasted old and dry and pita was all filling, no meat. Service was friendly but too expensive to give the place another try.
