Food Review: Pita Wrap

Pita Wrap is a recent addition to the Fairborn culinary scene, with its location at 3800 Colonel Glenn Hwy. in the same strip mall as Starbucks. In offers a range of Mediterranean dishes at cheaper prices.

The first thing I noticed about Pita Wrap was the atmosphere. The decor had an industrial feel, with curled metal light fixtures in the center of the ceiling and a stainless steel countertop in back, which made the place feel trendy. The back wall was painted orange with words scattered in yellow, which added a splash of color to the already cold surface. Service was very friendly--when I walked in, they gave me free baklava. The cashier even remembered my name when he brought out my food.

The dish the restaurant is named for is the pita wrap, which consists of a soft pita with some vegetables and sauce. You can get a veggie, falafel and chicken, or steak shawarma in the wrap. There are also rice bowls and kebabs, which come with the same elements offered with the pita wrap, with the addition of kufta. You can get sides as well, like rice and falafel. If your blood sugar is low, they also sell baklava, which was crispy an quite moist.

I bought a chicken sharwarma pita wrap for around six bucks. The chicken was a little dry, but it was flavorful and the garlic sauce that came with it was pungent but not overpowering. It's definitely worth a try for the garlic sauce alone, which comes with the chicken pita wrap. I bought about five pieces of falafel. The texture had a good chew to it and it was freshly made.

Although some of the menu items were a little pricey, you aren't going to break the bank for a pita wrap. It's definitely worth a trip for lunch between classes.
