Pita Mediterranean

I drove all the way down Knoxville today to drop off a pair of broken shoes at Shoe Biz (which by the way has the friendliest staff I have ever met!). Next door was a place called Pita Mediterranean. I would also like to point out that Happy Fish opening a new location all the way out here! This is exciting news for all my Happy Fish fans! Like I was saying, I went to Pita Mediterranean.




I had a garlic chicken wrap. It cost around $6. Yet again, I was impressed by a local Peoria Business! (Maybe because the homemade garlic sauce reminded me of tzatziki sauce!) The pita bread that all their wraps are served on is homemade. It was delicious. For all my hummus fans out there, I am betting it would be excellent at Pita Mediterranean. I of course took out the tomatoes and pickles, but the wrap was good.



I also got a slice of baklava for dessert.  Sorry the picture is kind of blurry, but the I have to say the baklava was only okay. I grew up with an uncle who grew up in Iraq, aka the the dessert capital of the world. I have been underwhelmed by every piece of baklava I have had in Peoria, which is highly disappointing when there is such a high population of Lebanese. If anyone knows of a place I can get some homemade baklava, let me know!

  1. Pita's is definitely a hidden gem. For vegetarian/vegan people, they make a fabulous Veggie Schwarma wrap. I'm not even veg but I LOVE it.
