Pita Paradise

The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are excellent. I started with the ziziki bread, which was delicious and a great way to begin the meal. I had Johnny’s Fresh Catch, featuring mahi mahi with Mediterranean slaw, and it was outstanding, especially with the spicy ziziki sauce. For any pitas that come with lettuce and tomato, I recommend substituting the Mediterranean slaw—it’s a great upgrade. The baklava ice cream cake for dessert was amazing, with fresh baklava, vanilla ice cream, and a honey drizzle that was even better than I expected.

My wife chose Pita Paradise for her birthday dinner; it was a perfect evening. We chose the right off the boat Ono on kebobs, with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms and pita bread with yogurt dip. A nice add on was the ripe avocados from the owner's trees. Very delicious! Our server was outstanding , offering several helpful suggestions . The best seating is in the garden terrace if you like outside and don't like too cool AC. Parking is always a challenge in this shopping area. Just keep circling the large lot until someone leaves you a spot.

Food does not match menu description. Hummus supposed to come with Kalamata olives and cuke, but alas none. No olive oil on anything. Lamb burger was terrible reeking of rosemary. Rosemary is the right spice, but put it on BEFORE poking the meat. Prices are good. So much dried spice on EVERYTHING that it masks the foods flavor. The burger bun and the cheese chunks were better than anything else. A real disappointment.

Rather disappointed with food, the menu is limited and appealing, but the execution is very basic. The fish of the day was way too cooked (and way too expensive compared to meat, for 2 small skewers), the tuna tartare did not have any taste of tuna because of the amount of sauce. The outside is quite nice, though. And our waitress, Chloe, was fantastic.

If you like beets, I recommend the BURRATA SALAD roasted local beets, tomatoes, arugula, lemon basil oil, agrodolce . For a little extra you can add * *with chicken **

Incredible experience, fantastic food. Great staff would definitely recommend definitely go again.

What a nice place! Truly the best meal we have ever had on the island. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant and peaceful, the food was extremely fresh and cooked perfectly! We’ll be coming back very soon and would highly recommend!

I stopped in here for a light snack and up here around mid-afternoon. I ordered the hummus and pita plate and it was excellent. The pita was nice and thin and slightly crispy with lovely herbs. About a ¼ cup of hummus comes on the plate & there is one kalamata olive in hummus. I was hoping there would be more olives. I had a Honolulu Cream Style Ale (can) and it was very refreshing. There is a super cute little patio & it is fun to sit outside.

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful--elegant without being stuffy, with thoughtful design that makes the whole space feel warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, striking that perfect balance between being present and not overbearing. Every detail felt taken care of. And the food? Delicious. Every dish was flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. Perfect for a special night out or if you just feel like treating yourself. Definitely coming back.

We had a nice casual lunch here, sitting outdoors in a covered back patio area with plants and a babbling water fountain for decor. My partner ordered the catch of the day (swordfish) salad, which she described as "yummy with lots of goodies"; and I had the lamb salad which had thin cuts of lamb with a garlicky tzatziki dressing and served with toasted pita triangles, that were large enough to pinch gobs of lamb with. I'd go back and recommend this place for lunch or dinner (I believe the dinner menu was more extensive than the lunch menu)

Local Stop Nope Always support local ... Bartender 2/10 Food 6/10 We always try ‍ Pau Hana !!

Nice Mediterranean option in Wailea! Had the veggie delight platter which is an assortment of vegetarian appetizers including spicy falafel, hummus, veggies, salad and pita. It's a well rounded variety. Also had the baklava cake for dessert. Everything was good! Server was friendly and attentive (but not overly so). They had live music which was a pleasant surprise. It's a nice family atmosphere.

When I first saw the name I assumed it was more of a casual dining maybe fast food place, but when we walked in, it was really nice. The wine was great. The service was friendly and attentive. The food!!! The food was GREAT! We had the ahi tartar, meatballs, and lamb gnocchi. Everything tasted great! We sat and chatted for a while and never felt rushed. I'm pretty sure they were getting ready to close and even then, they never made us feel like we needed to hurry up. I will definitely come back here when I come back to Maui.

Came for lunch with girlfriends. It's pleasant seating outside... even though it's by the parking lot, they have plenty plants to cover the area... Service was great, food was great. Ample parking space. I had the gyro salad. Loved it! Lamb was so tender and tasty. Salad was fresh. Everything is always good here. Highly recommend!

The food and service were excellent. Dog sh*t portion of food for what you are paying for. The American Greek salad with chicken was 22$ and I added chicken to the traditional Greek salad. They gave me 2oz of chicken on my salad, came out to a 26$ salad. Should definitely evaluate the protein content on a salad if you're going to charge that much.

IMHO My hubby and I wanted to check out the shopping village located just above the Residence Inn, where we were staying. Monkeypod is there, a new sushi place (highly recommended by a patron), pharmacy, jewelry store, etc., and Pita Paradiso! We stood outside checking out the menu, even though we had just eaten elsewhere, and realized it was only 15 minutes before happy hour! We were kindly invited to step in early to sit at the bar and order happy hour cocktails! We chose the Wailea Sunrise and the Makena Sunset cocktails, both only $9 each! Both were refreshing and tasty! Thank you, Justina for your recommendations! I checked in on Yelp and saw that we could redeem a free appetizer! Having just eaten lunch, we opted to save it for later use. I am sorry that we never made it back to redeem it, but I'm sure we'll eventually get back there again one day.

This is a long term family owned Mediterranean restaurant that's in a shopping mall in Wailea. It's a cesnncasual restaurant with a full bar. Yesterday I had the village salad with a skewer of lamb my partner had the lamb burger, which was I thought really a good a tasty filling meal they had roast potatoes on it. The roast potatoes look so good. I ordered a side for myself. she had hibiscus cocktail and overall I really enjoyed the visit although the tables are close together and I listen to some guy making a sales presentation and it sounded like an infomercial which is a little annoying, but that's what people do at restaurants. The server has been there for years and she handled our visit very well overall I enjoy the place and would definitely go back. I'm going to post some new pictures of yesterday's visits and they look a lot like the last set of pictures I posted.

I recently had dinner here and enjoyed my food but the service was just so-so. It started with the hostess when I asked if I could sit on the outside patio. She was a bit annoyed I asked but she did sit me out there. My waiter was not the friendliest and was not very attentive. But I enjoyed my food and that was more important to me. I was by myself, reading my book, so I did not need a lot of attention. I had their Maui Mule as my drink. It was very flavorful and they use a local ginger beer which is nice. For my entree, I had chicken and lamb kabobs: served with sautéed veggies, rice pilaf, Tzatziki, pita. Everything was very tasty. The lamb and chicken were tender and flavorful. Always love pita and Tzatziki.

We live here not too far away in Kihei. We had a reservation for 5 people. Not all of us got served at the same time, which wasn't great cuz our food was getting colder for those who waited. Other tables were getting their orders. I had to ask our waiter when he came back outside and it was brought out. The Ambiance outside was nice but kind of loud. Others said their food was tasty. My Lamb Burger was cooked almost beyond recognition that it was meat, but I didn't wanna complain as that would have further delayed the meal for the others. The waiter was nice. I did give the waiter the feedback abt the overcooked burger upon departure. I hope he relayed it to the cook.

My family got plenty of dishes when we last ate, but I got the bolognese! Super hearty and filling - perfect atmosphere for a gathering of loved ones or a date. Staff was also super nice and loved to chat! - Miguel Morales Photography

This is one of my favorite spots to go to whenever I am in Maui. They're great for both lunch and dinner, but I LOVE going for dinner just to have their eggplant arrabiata pasta which is a must try in my opinion. If you have room for dessert, try their backlava ice cream cake! Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10

Great place to dine in Wailea close to the hotels. Mica was ready with our food when I arrived. We ordered the fresh catch, shutcome(swordfish) with fingerling potatoes and bok choy. Delicious flavors in every way. Fish was nicely seasoned and not over cooked. We also had the Greek salad which I loved! I wanted to order the tiramisu but decided my waistline didn't need it. Haha! Great ambiance, people are friendly and, timely service. Also, take out super simple and convenient. They make sure to include pita bread with each order and I believe it is made daily. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Happy eating!

The restaurant is fantastic! The food was wonderful, the setting is great, and our server (Winnie) was just amazing. Highly, highly recommend!

I was looking for a place for dinner in wailea when we were staying at the andaz Maui and found this place on Yelp. We didn't have reservations but I called ahead to see is there was a wait but they said no. When we got there, we got to sit immediately. We chose a booth since we had our son but the one junk thing was the seat was a bit uncomfortable. It seemed to be pretty old so it was all torn up in some areas that my son didn't even want to sit down in those areas. We decided to try their ziziki bread, appetizer platter, and lamb gnocchi. We were planning to get dessert right after so we didn't want to stuff ourselves. The food came out fairly quick but our food was actually almost delivered to the next table by us but they realized that it was supposed to go to us. Everything tasted really good! My son loved the ziziki bread and there was a good assortment of items on the appetizer platter and the lamb gnocchi was cooked perfectly. Service was a little slow and we had to ask to order and get our check. The place wasn't too busy either. It looked like they had a little outdoor seating too which would probably be nice later at night but we went when the sun was still going down.

This is a favorite place for us. A chance to have Greek Food. . The owner fishes for this restaurant and the fish of the day is his catch. So I chose the seared Ahi Tuna with grilled green beans and rice. Good, but it came grilled and Small. You could hide it with a credit card. So not next time. This was a first. I was splurging. The free hummus from Yelp was delicious and the Chicken Parm had a wonderful sauce and was moist. Our server Channel was a delight and the best smile. Great place to come.

We ordered on line and it's truly an amazing experience. My favorite has been their lamb salad serve with yogurt dressing and generous lambs. The grilled chicken salad was fantastic and delicious. The Cesar salad was fresh delicious. We loved their hummus pita , bruschetta and appetizer plate. Service was amazingly fast and staffs were friendly. Definitely a good choice for light meals on the go and they also have happy hour. Aloha

We were hoping for more. The food was good, but several of the items were shockingly small. The chicken kabob, for instance, came with very little chicken. We ate outside, which also turned out to be a problem. Everywhere else on the island, we ate outside at dinner time and had no troubles. But here, two of the eight people in our party ended up getting bitten up badly by some insect. I wonder if they need to remove some of the plants that are along the terrace border? Overall, food was fine, and not terribly expensive, but . . . not a highlight of the trip for us.

The restaurant is fantastic! The food was wonderful, the setting is great, and our server (Winnie) was just amazing. Highly, highly recommend!

Decided to get our food to go. Service was quick and ready within 10-15 minutes and waiting for me at the kiosk out front where I was able to pay and be on my way! The ambience inside looked really inviting and relaxed so if we come back we will sit in and dine. We chose the Barrata Salad and Chicken Alfredo. Both were fresh, delicious and packed with complementing flavor! The Barrata Salad came with a high quality thick balsamic vinegar for the fresh caprese salad with roasted beets. It also had a mint olive oil spread for the arugula salad and delicious pita wedges. The Chicken Alfredo was creamy and smooth, very well done sauce with good size small chunks of chicken. Food was well worth the price (albeit everything is pretty expensive here on the islands) and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice meal.

So delicious! Mediterranean food that always hits just right! Great service, knowledgeable wait staff and very comfortable outdoor seating under a large covered lanai space. Definitely recommend!!

The food looked ok but the taste was the most disappointing thing the chocolate cake tasted expired stale it was chocolate cake so I couldn't find mold just do not go here the service was ok not the best. The seats were ripped and uncomfortable space....

Let's review the dessert first: Baklava ice cream cake. OUTSTANDING. What a great combination of flavors. Ship some back to the mainland. It's that good. We started with mango iced tea. Flavorful but not overbearing and not pulpy. The kebobs were my choice. Grilled to temp and nicely seasoned with Mediterranean spices. The soft pita and sides were great accompaniments. My wife chose the Greek God's platter. A full plate of spinach tiropita, a half gyro, moussaka and a delicious tatziki. Wonderfully spiced and presented. It was a complete meal. Our server was efficient and friendly and kept our glasses full. Light live music played in the corner. Nice. This restaurant stands out among the many excellent choices in Maui. We very much enjoyed our visit.

Enjoyed a great experience eating & drinking good cocktails. Justina, rocks! Very nice host, helpful with menu suggestions. Justina, pours a good drink, and was delightful. I enjoyed the lamb salad & tuna tartare as my appetizer. Very relaxing atmosphere with hill vibe. This is my place to go when I'm in town David

Parking lot -large but very crowded with all the other restaurants and businesses. Had to circle a few times to get a spot at 6 pm. Service- friendly, helpful, attentive. Checked on Yippeeeee! And the food, refilled the water. Ambiance - Good Friday night dinner vibe. Not too loud, crowded but cozy, everyone eating and talking and having a nice time. Food - outstanding. I love Greek Mediterranean food but when you mix it with Italian and come up with concepts like Ziziki read, that is flavorful, delicious and whimsical. The lamb salad Is large and has a large portion of lamb, Seasoned nicely. The salad was very good. Definitely would order again. The platter of the gods was outstanding. I want to order his again. I wish there was meal and place like this in San Diego. Large and tasty platter with several different foods including moussaka. Expensive it worth it. Definitely a place to try if you are in the Kihei area and want to try Greek Italian Mediterranean food.

I would like to start this review by saying I've frequented pita paradise many many times and for many years because I live on Maui and I love their food and service.... That is, up until today. I have a gluten allergy and I always order the same thing. Their ahi tartare without the chips that accompany it. I made this clear to the server, Whinie, yet the order came out with the chips anyway. The server was a little rude in telling me that I said "capers on the side". There was no apology, but she still had it remade. That alone is fine. It was an honest mistake. Unfortunately when the new one came out, 2 bites into it, I bit into a fish scale that literally cut my gums. It had a flat jagged appearance which I honestly thought was sharp piece of plastic at first. The servers reaction was extremely nonchalant saying "this is normal, that's how it is when you eat fish" in a condescending manner. Belittling me as if I don't know what fish is. There was no apology, but I digress. I told her that I unfortunately didn't want to continue eating it anymore and had pushed the plate aside. In that same trip she dropped the check, and she still charged for the dish that cut my mouth. I approached the server asking if there was a mistake if maybe her manager didn't get the chance to remove it yet. Instead she proceeded to argue with me about how it was made twice, and how I had told her that I didn't it after the findings, so she took the plate to toss etc. After some back and forth, she finally spoke to the manager and removed the dish from the check. I had to basically pry it out of her on why I didn't believe I should pay the restaurant for the liability of a foreign object that caused me harm. I am a server. I've been a server/bartender for nearly 15 years. I would never treat a guest the way she treated me and unfortunately, I will not be returning to pita paradise anymore.

Made reservations here for our last night on Maui. We ate on the patio with our two girls (12 and 14, we all love Mediterranean food/Greek restaurants) and the food and service was amazing! A new favorite stop for us :-) (I noticed the overly crowded Monkey Pod next door where we had eaten a few days prior, all the people were waiting outside forever, while we were eating... this place is smaller, not as crowded in "feel", and I feel the food was better in my opinion).

A new favorite place for Greek food! My boyfriend and I came here at around 8pm and were lucky enough to be seated even though they close at 9pm. FOOD: 1. APPETIZER PLATTER - For $24 this was a hefty amount of food for us. We loved the variety of the dips and spreads that we got. There was enough pita bread to finish all the dips so I'd say the ratio between the assorted spreads and pita bread was perfect. 2. LAMB PASTA - I highly recommend this dish! Lamb may not be for everyone, but the sauce and the way the lamb was cooked was perfection. The tomato cream sauce was less creamier than I thought which was perfect because the acidity of the sauce paired well with the lamb. It's not exactly a rose sauce since it leans heavier on the red sauce side. I really liked this entree and would come back to have this again. SERVICE: Attentive and friendly! We got the menu and ordered and didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out. AMBIANCE: Cute romantic place especially in the outdoor patio :) The lights and decor added a nice ambiance to the place. Overall, I'd come back again. We didn't have room for dessert as we were a bit too full but I'd love to try their Baklava ice cream cake next time :)

Great meal! We checked in on yelp to get the free zitziki bread which was great and it was happy hour so we also got the spinach tiropitas. They were both amazing and we could've both eaten more of the spinach tiropitas, which were flaky and full of flavor. I had the pesto vegetable gnocchi which was so good. The pesto was creamy and rich. My husband had the fish special which was ono, mashed potatoes, and green beans with a tomato sauce for $42. We finished with the baklava ice cream pie which was one of the best desserts we have ever had. A must stop spot when visiting wailea. They have a great menu and a happy hour and the service was great. Everything was delicious.

We had an amazing time our sever was amazing (Jen) she answered all our questions she was very friendly and extremely efficient. The place was spotless, was an amazing atmosphere very relaxing. I have food allergies and they catered to that and the food was still delicious. (You never know!!).. lol I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be returning.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. No wait time. Option for indoor and outdoor seating. Food was amazing. Enjoyed everything we ordered. Got the CCP (Chicken Caesar Pita), Appetizer Platter, Ziziki Bread, & Village Salad. Service was great. Ambience was perfect. Very welcoming personalities. Will definitely go back again.

Tiramisu Martini! Delicious and sexy! Taste like a desert in your mouth. Great after dinner drink!

My wife & I really enjoyed the food here. It was fresh and nice portions. Greek platter to start with good falefel, hummus & Pita. My wife had the lamb gnocchi. The disappointment comes in the rushed service. The time from being seated to check drop was 40 minutes! We had cocktails, appetizers and entrees. The only time our server checked was to see if we were ready to order. No follow up on food or cocktails.

Great food and service! We had the sampler platter, which is pictured, and it was very flavorful. We ordered the Kailua pork ,which is always amazing. My family had the steak and the local fish special. I have eaten here for years, and I have never been dissatisfied. I would highly recommend!

The staff was a little stingy didn't feel like we belonged there because of the high end vibe they were trying to give off. There was plenty of seating and made a huge deal about getting us in for some reason. Food was great though.

We just had the perfect lunch sharing the Appetizer Plate and the American Greek Salad with Chicken! Caroline was our adorable bartender and server, and enticed us into a Blue Hawaiian cocktail, which was the perfect compliment to our food and plans for a nap afterward! Thanks Pita Paradise!!

This place has really changed. Unfortunately, not for the better. Our server was only a year into employment here and was a bit uncertain of how to take care of the customers. My Bombay martini came out unlike what I expected. Not for the better. They remade it which was nice. The calamari steak was good but the sauce was broken. Still okay to eat, but not optimal. The bolognese was good My wife had the chicken Alfredo and said it was good. Desert was average.

This place is walking distance from our hotel but we still drove here. The hostess and server were very young and polite. The ambience was very Mediterranean and we chose to sit inside for the cool AC. The server honored the Yelp! coupon for free pita and hummus which made it taste even better. Everything tasted amazing. I manhandled my gyro and my wife and son devoured the chicken kabob. Definitely consider this place if you want a healthier dinner option

I am a first timer at Pita Paradise in Wailea and I am so happy we stopped by! The food, drinks and desserts were AMAZING. The highlight of our experience was not only the friendly and fast service but the Baklava Ice Cream Cake & the Liquid Goddess drink, they paired very well together. Pita Paradise, A MUST TRY!!

I've waited for a table at the adjacent monkeypod restaurant, not knowing that this delicious place was just next door with virtually no wait. The food is obviously made from scratch and all three of us loved our dishes, particularly the lamb burger (dill scallionaise was a hit!), the pita, and the eggplant arrabiata. Everything about this place was a welcome, homely change of pace from all the fusion, the sleek resort restaurants, and food trucks. Delicious! A highlight of our trip! Service was extremely warm and welcoming. It was not overrun with tourists and seemed to be a low key place for locals to enjoy a nice meal. Live music.

I have been going to Pita Paradise since they were a to little spot in Kihei and have to say I will keep going every time I return to Maui. Their tzatziki sauce and pita are my favorites but that's only after my taste buds argue that they was the Gyros and their told ok you can those too and now I've had their baklava ice-cream pie!!! 15 years later and they are still one of my favorite spots (and I live on Oahu). They've changed locations, upgraded to full service and a quaint comfortable space, and they have done it gracefully and with great success. I wish I could partner with them to open a location here! Basically, you must go. You must try. They do a fabulous job. Oh and the servers we had both times on this last visit were kind, attentive and very capable. Just a win!

Came here on a whim since I hadn't been in years. I loved this place years ago and haven't been since I moved. I felt the service was lacking. Empty restaurant, took 10 mins or so for someone to come and seat us. The server forgot to order 1/3 appetizers we ordered, she also forgot our drink order and forgot to give me my credit card before I left. Another server ran over and gave it to me as I was leaving the restaurant. Food was only so-so and not what I remember when they first moved to this location in Wailea Gateway. Such a bummer!

Lamb Kabobs are the most amazing thing on this menu! Highly recommend. Honorable mentions: chicken Alfredo, sautéed mushrooms, CCP (Caesar chicken pita, only for lunch!) Shoutout to Shane at the bar for being very accommodating! Delightful new drinks on the menu

What a nice surprise to accidentally find this place. We were headed to another restaurant in the same plaza but decided to eat here instead. When you search for restaurants in the area on Yelp this place doesn't come up which is sad cause it's really a great place to eat. The food is amazing here. Everything is fresh and flavorful. We actually ate here twice and enjoyed our food both times. Our waitress Cori was very friendly, she served us on both visits. She made our dining experience even better. I highly recommend this place , you will love it.

Stopped by here for lunch with friends for the first time recently. Got the pita hummus, lamb salad, and lamb/beef burger. All the food was pretty decent. Nice ACed dining room. Was pretty empty when we got in there Saturday around noon. Service was friendly. Check-in on Yelp for a free pita+hummus!

The food is fresh, excellent , well prepared and delicious . The services was good, smiles and good attention. We live close by and it is our favorite restaurant.

Wow just absolutely amazing food. Got the chicken pesto pizza. Lots of grilled chicken. Tomatoes and feta cheese with the pesto sauce. I dipped mine in the tzatziki dip. Can't wait to come back. Cut into perfectly small slices which make it easy to pick up and eat

Our waitress Kelsey was incredible, knowledgeable and fast! Seated us quickly and gave us some suggestions! - she kept checking in to make sure our water and drinks were full, she made the dinning experience amazing.
