text: Now I realize Pita Jungle is a Phoenixarea institution but seriously it really is not that good I just do not think there are many places here that serve good mediterranean style food for people to compare And on the flip side people I know who love good pitasshwarma avoid PJ like the plaguennConsidering my review will not dent their rating one bit amidst all of the rave reviews this place gets I am only going to highlight a few thoughts I havennHummus is not hard to make and while theirs is good it is not absolutely amazing Plus the amount of tahini they put in it makes it very tasty But also really high in fat and calories and unnecessary to put that much in nnTheir pitas are borderline unacceptable Perhaps people eating here have never had good fresh pita but theirs is dry almost stale tasting and coldnnTheir shwarma chicken is not shwarma It is just grilled chicken How is this shwarma Because it is in a pita It is also completely absent of any flavor whatsoevernnDont get me wrong I am not expecting the most authentic mediterranean food But this is so far from the real thing they should strongly reconsider naming it Pitalike Jungle Or Pitaesque Pseudopita The possibilities are endlessnnOne of these days maybe but who knows until how long a real mediterranean restaurant will open that serves real mediterranean food Until that happens though I guess PJ will still be around jacking people for cash and laughing in the back room about it
