La Pita

My wife and I just had dinner here. This place is fantastic. The food is unbelievably great. I had the lamb chops medium rare and they were absolutely fantastic. Monica was our server and she did great work. She was very attentive and had the food right out to us. She could not have been better. I cannot recommend this place enough.

This is one of our family’s favorite places in Dearborn. Last night my husband and I had a little date since it was such a mild October evening. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and eating our favorite house Specialty chicken Shawarma with hummus, steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes. You can also have it with rice. It comes with soup or salad and two side dish choices. You also get a choice of 3 different types of salad. We chose Fattoush. Mmm Since I am gluten-free and my husband is low-carb Deena, our server was very accommodating when she offered to bring sliced cucumbers to dip in the hummus rather than a basket of pita bread. She had the right balance between checking on us enough, but not too much. Also the atmosphere while classy ( inside) is down to earth enough to be family friendly. The table next to ours had a group of youngsters who seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even though it seems expensive it is high quality with very generous portions. We split one meal and were satisfied. It was just the right amount of food for us! Thank you La Pita.

I wanted to try La Pita to possibly add to my short list of places to dine with family and friends. This is a great spot to enjoy a meal and take your time with friends and family. The service was excellent, and my dishes all memorable.

We had an event in the banquet hall It was amazing the staff specially the manger she is an angel and she is very professional The food is awesome the decoration service freshness taste it’s all beyond what we expected Definitely recommend for professional events!

Got the Chicken and beef shawarma, Mango Smoothie for $32 before tax and got some free bread, pita strips and a small side salad. I have never went to a place like this. Thank you for the amazing food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

The service was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a side of garlic and hummus with the fresh bread. Their bread is so good the chicken shawarma sandwich was perfect Our server was very attentive and anticipated OU needs. Highly recommend.

Fresh kebabs. The kibbeh was delicious. Hummus was good consistency and flavor. Food comes out quick. Recommend if in Dearborn.

The environment, food and service is never disappointing. The restaurant manager Mr. Dbouk helped me plan a small surprise family gathering and it was amazing! Thank you

This is probably my most favorite restaurant. Sadly, I am retired and am no longer traveling to Detroit weekly. I love their garlic aioli.

This is NOT the place to hold an event. I attended a work Christmas gathering and everything was seriously sub par. The even room, is dull and drab, very cold vibe, stark white, no decor..total cafeteria vibes. One bartender for over 100 people, they claim short staffing, but 3 young gals are seen goofing around on their phones, playing around behind the bar...how about get help the bartender, make pitchers of soft drinks, so people don't have to wait in a line of 30 people to get a soft drink. Faulty equipment, my ears bleed listening to corporate speeches flicker in and out because the microphone was so crap! So far the appetizer table was pretty lame...your standard cheese cubes, dollar store crackers and a few veggies...some decent grape leaves, but no hummus or anything else. Lol..grape leaves and Ranch...blaahhh... What a bummer

La Pita was one of our favorite food stops during our trip to Michigan! We had the beef kibbe, chicken shawarma, and beef shawarma--everything was super flavorful and well-portioned. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Dearborn and craving authentic Mediterranean food!

Was in town with my family for the weekend and we wanted Mediterranean. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Place was a little dimly lit but who cares. Food was good and flavorful. It annoyed me that they bring out fresh pita but no garlic with it. Was really odd. Also none of the menus had pricing on them. Food was good but we've had better.

I ordered a FULL order of Deboned chicken. This cost me almost $40 and it was absolutely disgusting. How is this deboned chicken? I've never had deboned chicken that looked like this. The chicken is rubbery, no flavor. There was a long strand of hair in the salad I am extremely disappointed.

Dined here upon the recommendation of a friend who enjoyed the restaurant when they visited with their family. My dining partner and I were quickly sat in the nearly empty but beautiful dining room around 7 pm mid week. Once our orders were taken, the food came out fairly fast. My dining partner ordered the vegan kafta and I ordered the salmon gallaba. My dining companion and I are both pescatarians and do not eat any other animal products. My dining partner allowed me to sample the vegan kafta before they tried it. Immediately upon hitting my tongue I questioned if this was the vegan version. I did not swallow it and asked the waitress to confirm. It took the waitress some time to return from the kitchen but once she did she indicated that it was not the vegan version and that she had grabbed the wrong one from the kitchen. She was very apologetic and while I was not happy at all about this situation she visibility felt bad about the error. They provided free dessert and removed the item from the order. They did replace it with vegan version of the kafta which was very good. Despite the error, service was good overall and the food was tasty. I just have to get over being served the wrong item.

We stopped in here for dinner again post-Henry Ford museum visit and were again delighted. Seated quickly, great service, and phenomenal and plentiful food. They immediately brought out pita crisps and pita bread and we got our entrees ordered, which came with side salads. I went for the Greek salad, which was a delicious if slightly overly dressed version. Solid block of feta on top. One of the best Greek salads I've had in the area without a doubt. We got some hummus for the table, excellent flavor, and then the combo shawarma platter was a real treat. The chicken was delicious and the beef not that far behind. Rice is a delight and the fries were so crisp and flavorful. Plenty of food left over for a second meal the next day. Quiet and friendly with regular check ins. Value for the money is stellar. Will definitely be back more often when we're in the area!

Horrible horrible horrible experience. The food is disgusting and the service is very slow and below average. Let alone the smell of tobacco inside the restaurant.

Hadn't been to this place in many years and thought to go in last night. What i noticed right off the bat was the that there were no prices on the menu. I understand cost of living and prices going up frequently but it rubbed me off the wrong way. I like to know what I'm paying. Food was okay, not great but not bad. No complaints overall. They bring fresh bread to the table but then charge $4 for garlic sauce on side. Paid $75 (excl tip) for two and both of us only had water to drink. A bit pricey for the atmosphere and food. Not sure I'll be back. Plenty other Mediterranean places around my area (Canton) and neighboring cities with decent food.

Great ambience with great food . Been here a couple of times , restaurant runs busy most of the times. Staff is very courteous . I am a vegetarian and i tried super falafel wrap and it was really nice.

I haven't been to La Pita in about ten years - you heard that right. I don't know what kept me away. But since I was in the area, I knew it was high time I re-visit and order carry out. Ordering online was super simple and I was pleasantly surprised to see the new options offered on their menu including Impossible meat! My order was huge, but I'm looking forward to having leftovers for the rest of the week: - Fool (fava beans blended with spices and served warm - this was just as delicious as I remember it) - Batata Harrara (spiced potatoes - they definitely had a kick!) - Fattoush with Impossible Meat (I poked at and was so skeptical that what I was eating was vegan -- it tasted like real meat and the spices were spot on) - Falafel wrap - Garlic dip - Toum - All the bread - Man Ushi -- the feta & tomato Overall the food was just as I remember it - so fantastic and delicious. This place was BUSY for a Tuesday night so I'm glad I ordered ahead. Carry out orders can be picked up right by the door so it's super simple and our food was ready and still warm and stayed warm the duration of the drive back to Ann Arbor. If you're in Dearborn and want delicious Med food - La Pita is the place to go!

This place is really quaint and cute to me. The food was amazing and the waitress was very helpful in answering our questions.

Food is good, service is often slow and forgetful for the prices this med restaurant charges

Very good. My family has gone here a lot over the years and they have been pretty consistently good. I had the chicken breast lunch special. The salad that comes with it was much smaller than I expected, and I wish I had got the dressing on the side (it was good, but there was too much). It's kind of a mini salad and not a side salad, per se. The chicken was cooked wonderfully and it was very tasty. No complaints about the food, other than the size of the salad for the total price. As usual, you get what you pay for, and it's much nicer food than a fast casual place. Great attentive service (refilling water often) as well.

Went here with a group of people and order family style food platters. The food was good but nothing that made me say oh wow. Tasted like almost any other Mediterranean place in Dearborn. I tried their mint lemonade which I did not like because it was way too lemony. Service was excellent for sure specially we were a decent size party. The place felt warm and cozy.

Went there at 3:30 PM for late lunch. She brought us fresh baked bread and I asked for some garlic sauce to go with it. The waitress wanted to charge me to bring toum (garlic sauce) $2.00 for small, $4.00 for a larger ramekin of it. Seriously? You're gonna squeeze me for one extra sauce??? On a $60 tab? it rubbed me the wrong way on principal. THEN it Took a half hr to get our fried kibby (which was full of gristle) then another 10 minutes to get our two chicken shawarma salads. We Specifically ordered the shawarma not the breast because it's already cooked waiting to be skewered up. Waitress, if you're reading this. Always ask if you want the app served WITH the meal. That was my first meal of the day, I was famished and I didn't like the app. The whole thing was annoying.

First time here! Dined in on a Saturday for lunch. The place is pretty big and there was plenty of open tables. Our waitress was great. I guzzled down my water glass after glass and she kept it filled. We ordered the hummus appetizer, falafel plate, and shawarma wrap. It came with warm bread and pita chips. Super tasty! The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I could taste all of the spices in every bite. The chicken was good and there was plenty of it! The salad was also good. We didn't eat the pickles, etc.

We came here from out of town on an Arabic friend's recommendation. I'm glad we listened. The menu has a lot to offer and everything we had was wonderful. Where we're from, it's not easy to find raw kibbeh, but this establishment has it (and it's wonderful). If you are new to Mediterranean food, this is a good place to start exploring. They have something for everyone. If you are experienced with this type of food, you won't be disappointed. The restaurant itself is laid out a little weird but it is well decorated and welcoming. Our server was very nice and very helpful. If I had to point out any concerns it would be that the cocktails are overpriced (at least for top shelf liquor) and that the portions are huge. Don't get me wrong, I love large portions - more bang for the buck. But based on other similar restaurants, we assumed the portions would be smaller so we ordered several plates to share. I wish our server would have pointed out that we were getting too much for just two people. The bottom line: If you like middle eastern food, this restaurant is wonderful. Portions are large so order one thing at a time and see how stuffed you are before ordering more. If you like top shelf cocktails be prepared for some sticker shock.

Was in Dearborn again, not since 2018!! Had to make sure we made it to la Pita! Absolutely phenomenal food! The service was impeccable! The food was 2nd to none! The ambiance is pure Mediterranean and comfortable, almost as if sitting in the owner's home as their guests! they even have their Cigar Lounge now! We are hooked, cannot go to Dearborn without stopping in for a great Mediterranean meal!

I've worked in Dearborn for nearly 23-years and have tried just as many Middle Eastern restaurants and La Pita is my personal favorite. The hummus is creamy with just the right amount of garlic. The produce they use is always fresh, the restaurant is clean and the employees are efficient. I would recommend LaPita to anyone, you wont be dissapointed!

If you're new in town, come here! a great first intro into Lebanese food and boy is it good. Chicken shawarma is the best, and they make some killer toum (garlic sauce). Love the staff here and the inside of the restaurant is so cool and eclectic too. Love coming here when I'm back home.

Super accommodating and totally overworked staff serving up homemade and delicious Lebanese cuisine to huge crowds. La Pita is a great option if you're meeting a large group of colleagues for lunch, as the menu offers a little bit for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the freshly made veggie juice, and the surprisingly flavorful rice. Recommended!

Our waitress Dena was very polite and friendly. It was crowded but we still had only short wait time to be served. Chicken tawook was so tender and delicious served with salad, rice, hummus, hot fresh bread, and garlic sauce. Ample lunch portion with enough to take home. Love the decor and music. Very clean and inviting.

Terrific food at excellent prices! Very good service. We were visiting family - our party included 3 seniors, a 4 year old, a 20 month old, and 2 adults. Everyone loved this food! We sat outside. The patio was perfect for us. A nice breeze and a warm evening, no worries about the little ones disturbing other patrons, excellent food. Every person enjoyed something including both little ones who have very picky appetites. The management and wait staff were very accommodating! I love La Pita and highly recommend it!!!

Food is great, have been going to there for years. Last two times I ate here, the bathrooms were filthy. Reported it to the manager and he said he would take care of it ( no soap, toilet paper or hand towels). Today we went there for lunch and the bathrooms were WORSE! The walls....floor......disgusting. The manager said, "we are going to remodel". I said, "you need to clean them first". So this brings me to another question......"wonder what the kitchen looks like?" Needless to say, I couldn't finish eating and we will be looking for a new place to eat Mediterranean food.

Really really delicious. Everything was super flavorful, perfectly seasoned. Decor was a bit dark, but comfortable.

I like this spot,,, I really do. A friend of ours recommended we come and meet up and smash here. So we did and now I'm telling you about it. Let's begin shall we. Fattoush Salad: It was hubby's side dish. And it was pretty good. I little heavy on the pita chips, but taste is over all delish. Steak and Fries: Our friend ordered this one for us. Meat was cooked pretty good, it was nice and tender and the frittes were seasoned well. Lamb Plate: Pieces of lamb sliced off from the spit roast on a bed of deliciously garlicky hummus is superb! The rice was properly delish too. Kibbe Nayee: it was alright. More lamb to bulgur ratio please. Thank you. Service was a little laggy, but its still pandemic times, so yea,, they mightve been short staffed or because it was Hella busy. I wouldn't know. But I know our experience was well enough to catch a 4 star from me. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

Great middleastern restaurant. Gret food, great portions and great prices. This is an old established restaurant that still has a nice ambiance with old traditional middleastern food.

We were looking for a quick and healthy lunch nearby so my friend suggested La Pita, a place he has been to a number of times. The restaurant sits tucked back on a corner of a local mall. It was past lunch and the restaurant was half empty but the hostess let us know that there would be a wait. I was busy at work so annoyed by the delay. The restaurant is elaborately decorated. In one corner, there is a table that looked like a tent, with fun, colorful, gauzy fabrics hanging from the ceiling, draping around a semi-circular banquette. We sat at a semi-private banquette table that was very dark but was perfectly fine for food photos. I knew what I wanted, shish kebab tawook, lunch portion. This is available all day long and comes with rice, salad, hummus, and garlic sauce. I substituted out the rice and hummus and got instead grilled vegetables and baba ghanouj. The chicken was nicely grilled and tender. I liked both the baba ghanouj and garlic sauce, the latter was delicious and had a vicious kick. My friend ordered the hummus to start, which was as thick and velvety as peanut butter and liberally covered in paprika. Service was average.

Walked in and we were instantly greeted by a black gentleman. Such a nice man, was not expecting that at all from him! Slight slur to his speech but his eloquence mixed with his car freshener scent to him was an experience I won't forget! He mentioned something on our way out saying "don't come back, because next time I will have that pack on me!" I love his energy. Can't wait to see what this place is packing next time we visit!!

Our party of 6 enjoyed every bit of dinner at La Pita tonight! We ordered the party platter for $110 and it was fresh, beautifully served and DELICIOUS!

Definitely one of my fav spots in Dearborn. Always consistently good food and service. I discovered that they now offer plant based options, Impossible Kafta! So cool to see more restaurants offering plant based options. When I saw this on the menu I was so happy! This kafta blew me away! It was moist, flavorful, and delicious! You gotta try it!

La Pita had my favorite all around middle eastern food during a trip to Dearborn. We had kibbe, the mixed grill with fries and almond rice. Kibbe was fantastic and the grilled meats were flavorful and juicy. The fries with garlic sauce was amazing. I also couldn't stop eating the almond rice. La Pita has all the greatest hits that I crave when it comes to Lebanese food and did it really well.

First, the food was wonderful, and although they were short staffed, the people were excellent, especially the waitress. However, there were no prices on the menu. You could scan the square code they had on the table, but I had left my phone in the car. I don't like to have my phone on me when I go to a restaurant! My daughter had hers, but I was treating her to lunch and it seemed tacky to ask her to check prices... The waitress gave me a general idea of some of the prices, but that didn't work. I was planning on spending about $50, and it ended up costing $81 ( including tip). I do not appreciate people who are not up front, or who assume a customer will use their phone in a restaurant.

I think the only thing that was good at the restaurant was the hot pita. The falafel was very dry and hummus seemed bland. I probably won't go back but if there isn't anything around then go for the hot pita. The service was okay but nothing I worth praising about.

This isn't where I usually go for Middle Eastern food but was out and stopped in. Great service but the food was only okay. I ordered hummus, falafel, Greek salad, lamb chop dinner and soup. I ordered ahead and picked up. It looked like a nice location for dining in too with inside and outside options. Would I go again, maybe.

Hmmm... Let's start with what I did like... the atmosphere and people seem nice. There is a nice outdoor patio space, but I wasn't sure if it was even open? Next, we ordered the salmon dish with veggies and quinoa with broccoli soup. The salmon was a little too dry and the vegetables were crunchy. The broccoli flavor was good, but was missing actual pieces of decent broccoli. On the bright side, the quinoa had good flavor, but for the price, I was expecting better. The bread was very good, but I was a little surprised when they brought out plain olive oil instead of the traditional garlic condiment that usually comes with that type of bread. I had to ask for it, and the waitress brought me some. Overall, it was ok, but I'm on the fence if I would come back again.

Tried this restaurant last night. They apologized for the wait because they were very busy and we were told the food would take a little longer. The wait for both was slightly longer, but it so worth the wait. The food was incredible and and plenty of it. I had the chicken mixed with pine nuts, rice with almonds, grilled vegetables and hummus. I don't come from around here but I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I've dined here for years, the food is consistently fresh, well priced and the service is always good. The owners are committed to exceeding their customers needs. The bread is simply the best, made fresh and served warm. My favorite are the raw juices and dinner platters. The salads are good too. I had a V4 raw juice which is basically La Pita's version of a V8 but better. I also enjoyed a bowl of crushed lentil soup and a super kafta sandwich that was out of this world. In an effort to eat healthier, I consume middle eastern food every week and LP is a staple for me. LP is extremely busy during lunch and dinner time. I recommend dining here from 11am to noon for lunch or from 2pm to 5pm for linner = late lunch or early dinner. Anytime after 5pm there could be a wait however outside seating is available during the warmer months.

So, I unknowingly arrived here right during the Ramadan holiday and the place was packed. I already went to another place in Dearborn and was told an hour wait. So I went to La Pita (my second time here) and asked for a table. I was told 40 minutes because while they had the space available, they were short on staff. Just then the manager arrived (I did not call him over), and he over heard the conversation and said..."just one?" and I said yes. He said "hold on, we'll make this work". In just a few minutes I was at a table and had multiple waitresses making sure I was taken care of. I noticed that it appeared that some family members were helping out too. My second visit to La Pita was just as good as my first. The food was excellent, and the servers were more than pleasant (even though being slammed by the holiday rush). This is now my go to place for Mediterranean food. Both experiences were excellent, and the service was outstanding and kind. I wish I knew the manager's name (owner?) to give him my thanks. You wont walk away hungry, and you wont walk away unsatisfied. Two thumbs up!

I ordered lunch from La Pita about a week ago, not only was my order ready before the pick up time my food was still hot and very delicious. The salad I had with my chicken shawarma dinner was amazing the dressings is so refreshing and the food was seasoned so well I could have sworn my mother was in the kitchen as well. I appreciate a good lunch that I can take home and finish for dinner . Chicken Shawarma BombDotCom

We would give our meal tonight 6 stars if we could. The Chicken Tawook was absolutely delicious.... perfectly grilled, moist, tender and well cleaned. The pita bread was piping hot, soft and puffy. The garlic sauce was fresh and super flavorful. The hummus was hands down the BEST we have ever had. Everything was so delicious that we ate until we could barely breathe and we still had leftovers to take home. The ambiance is fairly upscale. Very nice that this restaurant has a full bar. Heather, our server, was excellent! Our orders were accurate and fast. Everything was served hot. She checked on us several times. Definitely a 5 star + restaurant and meal!

I love La Pita, especially in the summer. Their patio is great! The restaurant is new looking and very clean, the service is always good, and the food is fresh and yummy. Homemade bread and seasoned pita chips are served at the beginning of the meal, so if you're watching your carbs, let them know not to bring it. It's too good to waste! Their smoothies are also delicious - I tried the "Femme Fatale" on the server's suggestion, and it's so good! Coconut and citrus; refreshing and delicious. I also had the super falafel wrap which is only $6 and very satisfying. Yum! Every time I'm in Dearborn in the summer, I come here. A little off the beaten path and very easy to park in the huge lot across the way.

This is a more casual restaurant, food and flavor great and they were willing to accommodate by substituting veggies instead of pita. Soup was fab, the server was attentive and friendly. I have only been to a few Mediterranean restaurants in Deerborn, however the flavor and freshness of the food at La Pizza was way above average.

I go here all the time. The quality is always the same (amazing) and it's just exactly what I want every time.

Our son was getting married in the Detroit area and we were looking for a place to host the rehearsal dinner. There were many options but they began to get fewer as we progressed with the date, a week and a half before Christmas, and the number of guests that we would be inviting, 70 plus as we included all guests that traveled for the wedding. Not being from the area also created another obstacle as we were trying to do this by looking on line and through telephone calls. We found La Pita, they were available for the date that we needed and also could accommodate the size of our group. I spoke with Mohamed on the phone and immediately felt comforted and at ease. He was extremely efficient and very easy to work with. He assured us that he would take care of all the details and prepare a great meal for us. We chose our menu from the many options available and were quite pleased with the affordability of the options. We asked about restrictive diets and children options and he came up with wonderful solutions for us. To say that the food was absolutely amazing is an understatement, everyone raved about their meal and the options that they were given. Our main dishes were lemon chicken breast and shish kabob, with Persian rice and grilled vegetables. We were allowed to bring in a cake and this was cut and plated by La Pita staff. The entire staff, from Mohammad to the bartender and wait persons were professional and friendly and made for a most pleasant and positive experience. The venue was beautiful, quite large, could easily hold a larger group and was separate from the main restaurant assuring a private experience with dedicated staff. The whole experience here helped to contribute to a wonderful weekend. Although we do not live in the area, La Pita will be a must visit on return trips. we are extremely grateful for the wonderful experience. La Pita is a great choice for your next event or just for a wonderful dinner. We wish we could rate higher than 5 stars because they truly deserve it.

One of my go to Mediterranean spots in Dearborn! Service has always been super friendly and great food. The freshly baked bread with garlic butter is so good that I always eat 4 or 5 prior to the meal

I've only actually eaten inside once, but La Pita is a definite take out lunch staple of mine. I know the interior is quite nice, and plenty of friends speak well of it. I can speak to how much I like the take out process. I usually order online through the Yelp app, but I've been told they have their own app which also results in customer loyalty rewards. I'll have to try it out in the future. On to the food? It's not mind blowing Mediterranean for me, but it's certainly reliable and yummy. My go to lunch snack is usually the grape leaves which are always tasty and fresh. Honestly though, I could also just order their bread and garlic sauce and be good to go. La Pita is a solid bet if you want some good reliable Mediterranean.

La Pita in West Dearborn is a hidden jewel in Dearborn. From the environment to the quality of food, everything about this restaurant exceeds any expectations one could have. The staff is professional, helpful and courteous. There's even a banquet hall available to rent that's available, which adds to the services they provide beyond any other restaurant in Dearborn. I come here often during my lunch breaks or whenever I want to show friends what Dearborn has to offer. My usual is either the grilled chicken fattoush or spicy chicken Man-ushi. 100% of the time the food comes out perfect and flavorful. Dine-In service always comes with free delicious warm bread and toasted pita chips. So you'll always leave stuffed to the brim, because they also serve an abundance of food for what you pay for. You'll leave stuffed and satisfied even if you come for a quick bite. From the bottom of my heart, I would recommend this place to the president. If had to choose one restaurant that captures of essence of Dearborn and middle eastern food, it would be La Pita. If you're skimming through reviews wondering where to eat, 11/10 I suggest you bite the bullet and give this place a shot. Once you come here you'll forget about any other restaurant out there no matter what you order.
