Best Middle Eastern Restaurant
It would be annoying that chef/owner Sam Kraydie keeps announcing that Pita Jungle is the best Middle Eastern restaurant around — if it didn’t also happen to be true. This vibrantly decorated, fern-draped eatery boasts the town’s top baba ghanouj — the eggplant charbroiled for extra flavor and mashed with lots of lemon — as well as killer kabobs, homemade lebni (the creamy Middle Eastern yogurt) and heavenly hummus. And when he wasn’t boasting, Kraydie was out procuring a pizza oven where he could make his own pitas. They come out of that oven fresh, hot and delicious, just ready to scoop up some well-seasoned shawarma.
