PITA GRILL - HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY

PITA GRILL
324 WASHINGTON STREET
HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY 
201-217-9777


SERVICE - Really don't know where to begin with the Pita Grill. The servers aren't uniformed. You can't tell who is who in this place. One waiter was servicing the entire eatery and also appeared to be managing it as well. Very confusing. Took a long time in the areas of taking our order down to getting us the bill. What I also felt was very inappropriate was when our waiter/manager kept coming up to our table and others showcasing plates. I'm all for up-selling dishes and etc, but in this case, if I already placed my order I don't need you to show me the plates of other customers, and I'm pretty sure they probably wouldn't care to see mine.

FOOD - (LAMB GYRO PLATTER)This platter when ordered contains off the grill lamb pieces, a grilled salad, and a side of hummus. The ONLY tastiest part in this dish would be the lamb. It's juicy and you do taste the chars off the grill. Unfortunately, I really wish I could say the same for the grilled salad and hummus. I do like grilled style salads, but in this case the tomato was soggy. The hummus had a bland flavor and tasted as if it had been sitting out all day. 



Aside from the lamb being the best part of my entire experience, I was impressed with my drink container. It is a clear jar shaped glass. Pita Grill, If you want to showcase. Showcase that!!!

ATMOSPHERE -  This place give off a brick oven feel the moment you walk into the door. But the moment you sit down all the confusion begins. You feel as if you aren't a valued customer.

RECOMMENDATION - Stay away! As my husband would say, "Do yourself, your taste buds and your stomach the favor!!" For all those who want to use this place for a lunch or dinner date, please keep away.
