Restaurant Review: Pita Village

By Juliana Chemás

Although the Village food court, located very near ILSC, has many fast food restaurants, there are lots of many good restaurants where people can eat really healthily. I was so bored of eating fast food such as hot dogs or even pizza slices, and that’s why I was very happy to discover Pita Village. I never imagined how delicious the food from a place in a small food court could be.

It’s a very clean and organized place in my opinion. It’s not very big, but you’ll see pretty soon that it has very good food, and the best thing of all is that they have very good prices. The dishes don’t go over $7, so if you don’t have much money you can go there and eat really well.

You can buy a chicken or beef kebob and a soft drink for only $6.85 in combo or $6.35 for just the wrap. Also you can get a ‘Super-duper’ falafel and a soft drink for only $6.50 in combo or $5.99 for the wrap only, or even a hummus pita and a soft drink also for only $5.99 in combo.

There are other items on the menu such as a hot cauliflower pita for only $5.50, or you can also have a mixed kebob for only $6.35. The most interesting thing about this is that it’s a very good portion, enough to fill you up and you can create your wrap with whatever extra ingredients to make it taste better. There are additional ingredients such as onions, lettuce, tomatoes, spicy sauces, mayonnaise, tabouli, falafel and many more. The great part of all this is that these wraps are quite healthy and not the kind of fast food that will give you a stomach ache.

I like this place most of all for the attention given to the customer. It also has a wide variety of food at a good quality. One important thing is that it’s only 2 blocks from school, so anyone studying in ILSC can go there, eat and come back to class with enough time to spare.

The service is fast, and they make your wrap as you wish it to taste. The presentation is very clean, and you have the chance to have a hot or cold wrap that is well prepared. Furthermore, the atmosphere there is very good: you have enough space to eat, light to see and time to talk without having to worry about being late for your afternoon class.

So, if you are searching for somewhere to eat delicious wraps, the perfect place is this one, Pita Village. Don’t worry if you don’t have much money because, in this place, there isn’t any expensive food, just delicious and inexpensive meals.
