The menu at Pita Valley is a masterclass in balance—serving up an array of dishes that cater to various dietary preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and halal options. A standout is their Pita Valley Combo Platter, which artfully combines tender beef shawarma, chicken kabob, and falafel, creating a symphony of textures and spices that dance on the palate.

Sweet lovers will find bliss in house-made desserts like the Apricot and Coconut Baklava and the luscious Lebanese Kanafa, each bite bursting with an irresistible balance of buttery crispness and rich sweetness.

Dips and sides deserve a spotlight here as well. The Baba Ghanoush is velvety and smoky, inviting you to scoop up the generous serving of freshly made pita. The Tabbouleh and Fatouch salads bring a refreshing, herbaceous brightness with their vibrant parsley, mint, and tangy sumac zest.

    Dropped by as I was in the area and craving Lebanese food. This place did not disappoint whatsoever. I ordered a beef kebab sandwich with a side of tabbouleh. The service was top-notch and the staff is very freindly. The food was unbelievably flavorful and very fresh. You can tell they have good quality ingredients and take pride with their cooking. I highly recommend you check this place out if you want very good Lebanese and Middle Eastern food. This place is truly authentic and sets the bar for true Lebanese food. Must visit! I will be back again soon, thank you for a wonderful experience!!

    From the moment you walk in you will feel welcomed. Great food at a very fair price. We tried the family deal for 4 people ($65)and we had enough leftovers for another full meal. Neither one of us could agree on what meat we liked more ( they are all good). A must try spot.

    We recently ordered catering for an event at our home. The food was fresh, delicious and authentic. We ordered meat pies, spinach pies, cheese pies, kibbeh, vegetarian grape leaves and dessert. I also ordered a dish that is not normally on their menu, but they were able to accommodate my request and I have to say it was delicious! The food was packaged well and ready on time for pick up. It was so good that our guests thought the food was home made. I would definitely order again, Thank you, Pita Valley!

    I tried this place for the first time tonight after seeing a video pop up on TikTok. You're greeted with a smile, and the service is impeccable. I ordered the chicken shawarma and the feta cheese rolls. Upon first bite, the flavor is incredible and it packs this amazing garlicky, savory punch that left me speechless. The feta cheese rolls were so delicious, packed with parsley and onion. My husband and I were so impressed that we literally ordered 4 more to go. You do not want to skip out on this place. It is a gem, and it should be treasured. I can't wait to come back here to try more on the menu.

    In the mood for authentic Mediterranean food? This restaurant will meet all your cravings with fresh, made from scratch items. We ordered the family platter with a side of hummus and tabouli! Go check them out. Corner of University and McClintock in Tempe.
