Pita Chip

Very delicious cuisine. The chicken bowl I had had everything from hummus to roasted Mediterranean vegetables. The garlic dressing topped off a perfectly engineered creation. I would say the chicken must be marinated overnight in its spices because it was so tasteful. The rice gave the dish the final Mediterranean touch that I have come a custom to being from Queens. Highly recommended for a visit and will become a regular spot when I am in Philadelphia again. 5 stars here.

My wife and I recently visited Pita Chip twice over the course of two weekends. The first time we ordered a salad bowl and a pita wrap, both with beef Shawarma. We ordered on Grub Hub, and and promptly received a message that our food was ready. When we arrived, the food was not actually ready, but I was informed that they were making it at that time so it would be fresh and hot, which I appreciated. The food was pretty good, and all items were made as ordered.
The second visit, unfortunately, did not go so well. This time, my wife and I were out and about when we decided to order from Pita Chip and did not want to go through the hassle of trying to order from Grub Hub on a small phone, so instead decided to telephone in our order. Upon calling Pita Chip, we were immediately informed that they do not take telephone orders and food should be ordered through Grub Hub, but they would «do it this time.» DO IT THIS TIME? Really?! With all of the restaurants in the Temple University area, you would think that restaurants would be doing everything possible to attract and keep business, rather than acting like customers are inconveniencing them. Despite their unprofessionalism, we still placed our order, this time ordering the salad bowl and a rice bowl, again with beef Shawarma. Once again, the quality of the food itself was not bad, but both the rice bowl and the salad were missing several toppings we had ordered.
While the quality of the food is decent, and portion sizes are fair for the price, the poor customer service along with two incorrect orders was enough to turn us off. With all of the other dining options available in the area willing to try a bit harder, I would not likely return to Pita Chip.

If you are someone who loves Mediterranean or Halal food, then this place is perfect. The prices are pretty cheap considering its on Temple University’s campus. You have a lot of food ingredients to choose from and the hummis is delicious! I would recommend here if you want Halal or Mediterranean food and you don’t want to spend a lot of food!!!

Everyone here is so nice and friendly. The food is excellent. Fantastic falafel. Perfectly cooked. I had a wrap and the portion was large for the price. I will be coming back.

This place is awesome. So it’s basically like a Greek version of Chipotle. They have a rice bowl or burrito made with pita bread. As usual choice of meats and veggies, but the difference from chipotle is that they give you a choice of humus. The humus is very good. Try the roasted red pepper humus. Overall it is great (quantity and quality) food, at a reasonable price.

Friends recommended this spot on campus, and it was amazing. The prices are super low, and they give you so much food! The tabbouleh is so good, as is the falafel. I tried the baklava and was not disappointed. Perfect size, price, and not too sticky. The menu and website are super easy to follow.

Thanks to the power of Unilocal,I found this new place on Temple’s campus. They give you a huge portion, and it actually tastes good! I got a beef shawarma with almost all the veggies. I opted for the garlic sauce but half hot sauce. The hot sauce made me sweat… I had to take off my glasses at some point during eating lol. The price is also very fair, especially for the amount of food you get — I am having 2 meals out of it. And even better, the workers I encountered were all very friendly.

Read the reviews on Unilocal for this spot and figured I’d check it out before practice one night.
Located on Broad st, between Cecil B Moore and Oxford in the heart of the Temple campus… you could walk by and not even see it. What they lack in size of the place they make up for it with their portion and flavor!
It works similar to a «build your own meal» type of restaurant, except they serve Mediterranean. Now I love that type of food, so it took no convincing me. If you’re not sure about it, go basic like I did to start off.
Had I not been on my way to wrestling practice I would have went a lil crazy and more spicy with my choices. I went with the wheat wrap, beef (recommended by server), regular hummus (although I wanted roasted red pepper, again working out), yellow rice, pico de Gallo, cilantro, parsley, seasoned red onions, and regular tahini sauce… with a side of the buffalo tahini.
The beef has a great flavor, you get full flavor with a pop of cinnamon at the back end. May sound weird, but a lot of Mediterranean cooking uses spices like cinnamon that we in America only really associate with our Pumpkin Lattes… expand your horizons, you will be glad. The wrap was loaded with healthy options. A huge meal for under $ 10, cannot wait to go back!
Next time I’m going chicken (just tonsee hownitnis compared to beef), roasted red humnus, garlic, loaded, hot sauce, etc. Mouth is watering thinking about it. Gotta stop and check them out! Solid job Pita Chip!

My boyfriend and I ordered delivery through GrubHub. At first I was skeptical since the prices were so low, but after reading other glowing Unilocal reviews decided to give Pita Chip a shot. And I have to say, they were totally right. Pita Chip is bomb!
Tasty mediterranean that doesn’t put a dent your pocket. It’s a straightforward menu, similar to the falafel carts better and with different options. Their serving sizes are more modest, but far from meager. My boyfriend and I split a hummus and still had some leftover. The falafels are tasty and decently sized; they come with a variety of sauce containers.
Since we ordered delivery I have yet to venture inside Pita Chip, but after my experience I will definitely be checking it out in the future. So glad that there is finally falafel around the Temple area – this may be my new go-​to mediterranean spot!

This place is way better than the carts around campus. The desserts here are very good as well. I’ve tried both the chicken and beef with roasted vegetables and everything has been amazing. One rice bowl is always very filling. The toppings are always fresh. The restaurant is very clean and he owners are very nice.
My only complaint is that the food is on the salty side. The hummus is especially salty. I’ve been here 2 times in 3 days so needless to say I’ll be back.

This place is the best thing to happen to Philly, I wouldn’t be surprised with this restaurant blowing up and opening across the country the food is so good and the eat in area is really nice too

Never thought I’d get better falafel around Templetown than the stuff from halal carts, but then Pita Chip came along. 5 perfectly fried patties for $ 2? Endless toppings? This is now my go-​to spot for a falafel fix.
Can’t speak to much else on the menu, but I do know that my very picky boyfriend LOVES the beef shawarma. Good to have you in the hood, Pita Chip!

Glad to be coming back to Temple and see some new variety in local restaurants. Pita Chip is nice new addition to the neighborhood. I had a beef bowl and it was tasty, filling, and reasonably priced-​a rare find. Service was good and atmosphere pleasant. Will definitely be coming back and will recommend.

So I have now tried beef shawarma, chicken shawarma and they are both really really good. The place is cool because it’s set up like a chipotle with Mediterranean food. Quick, good, and generally healthy. Baklava was also amazing. Good food great staff and good prices. Give it a shot!

⁵⁄₅!!! Amazing food, amazing service, great vibe, just all around a great place for lunch/​dinner. Really recommend the chicken shawarma. Delicious and affordable– & they take diamond dollars!

This was my first time at Pita Chip, but it certainly will not be my last! I stumbled upon this restaurant today while looking for a lunch option and was not disappointed! The service was wonderful – the guys working really walked us through the different options and even gave us some samples to try some new things. I appreciated that they not only had the build your own option but some preset options to choose from. If you like Mediterranean style food, you should stop by this place! I will be recommending it to everyone I know!

Scrumptious is all I have to say about this new hot restaurant right on the Temple Campus.
The Food: I came here because I love falafel and there are only a few places in Philly for falafel! I thought it was so perfectly made. I had two options of different tzatziki sauce one regular and one spicy and had an abundance of toppings to add to my wrap. Then the wrap was nicely toasted. I also got to try some of the homemade authentic pastries that were perfectly bite sized and absolutely worth getting!
The Atmosphere: I loved the fresh décor and the wood and metal accents really makes it look modern and clean. The chalkboard that displayed the menu items was done in a «back to school theme» so perfect for Temple campus! I specifically liked the ordering style and was able to see everything that would be joining my falafel wrap.
The price: I was very surprised and happy with Pita Chip’s prices. I felt like the prices were very fair.
I cannot wait for delivery options to be available and was VERY excited when they announced their own personal app for my phone and I even got a discount when I downloaded it.
I hope they expand and grow other places too within Philly. I suggest you definitely all try it out for yourselves !
YUM!

they’re still new so i am going to give them some leeway on the service. food was okay, when i go again i’ll order a bit differently and get more hummus/​hot sauce/​veggies since it was a bit dry.
they’re quite slow at putting the food together and it’s almost comical to watch them slowly and carefully putting the tomatoes one by one.
at the end there is a sign that says no debit card. i unfortunately only had a debit card so i started to inwardly freak out. thankfully it still worked, but a sign at the front of the store would be more helpful. i’d hate to come in and not be able to pay.
side note: under their sauces they have a sauce called falafel chutney. i think sometimes people think this sounds fancy, but it is quite annoying. tamarind chutney is made out of tamarinds. mint chutney is made out of mint. i am guessing falafel chutney is not made out of fried chickpeas.

Mediterranean food is great, but its even better here at Pita Chip. When walking in you feel like you’re at an established restaurant chain like Chipotle, but you’re really at a one of kind pita and shwarma restaurant. With all ingredients made in house you get quality of an original Mediterranean spot, but with the speed and efficiency of a chain restaurant. The service is great as well, they are all friendly and willing to give advice on what to order. At prices cheaper than Chipotle, you can guarantee more bang for your buck and still be filled up.

I’ve never been really big on Mediterranean food, but Pita Chip makes me think twice before opting for the typical Friday night pizza. A few days ago, a good friend of mine recommended I give it a try since I work in the Temple area.
Upon walking in for the first time, I took note of the fresh, Temple-​themed Philadelphian décor. The way food is ordered and prepared right before you is very reminiscent of Chipotle.
Before I knew it, it was my turn to order and I had no clue what I’d like so I just asked them to make me something good. The two young guys behind the counter laughed; and whipped up a Beef Shawarma wrap with a side of fries. The wrap was exceptional; it had a nice balance of rice, veggies and meat. One of the employees even brought out samples of falafel for me to try. I don’t remember the last time I ate something so fresh and filling!
This establishment is going to do very well. They’ve even gone as far as developing an app that allows you to order whatever you’d like right off your cell phone. I see this hitting home with the Temple students.
My favorite aspect of Pita Chip is the friendly, welcoming vibe you feel as soon as you walk in the door. I highly suggest you all give it a try!
