    This place is a hidden gem. Best falafel pita from an unexpected little place. Get the falafel pita with hummus, salad, eggplant, hot sauce beets and pour on tons of the tahini.

    You will not find a better deal and a better falafel in New York! The people are amazing, the food is even better, and the overall service is remarkable! You will not get let down at Pitopia.

    Food is fabulous. The menus are inspired and with so many choices, it's hard to decide what to eat! And, if you think Kosher food isn't for you, a meal at Pitopia's will definitely change your mind!

    Good kosher restaurants are expensive in NYC but Pitopia's was recommended to us for its high-quality food and relatively reasonable prices. We were not disappointed. The pitopia falfel was awesome.

    Super cheap falafel and schwarma that tastes great. Delicious, and they have a lot of specials on facebook and foursquare.

    The shawarma is my favorite but the best part is all of the different types of sauces they have that you can help yourself to.

    I think this place deserves a gold medal. It is a hidden gem located in midtown NYC. Give it a try if you ever get that chance.

    ORDER FROM HERE! Or eat in, but I must rave about the take out. I'm curious if there is a falafel guy on my roof making my order, it arrives so fast...

    One of the best falafel spots! So good, it's worth getting extra of their crisp falafel!

    Thank you for another satisfying feast you served us at my kids' birthdays. My friends and relatives were raving about your special shawarma. They loved everything!

    For the catering, I used them many times and they have never disappointed. They are the best caterers I have used, when ordering for over 20 people.

    Pitopia's catered my daughter's Christening party. The food was delicious and we received many compliments on how good the food tasted.

    Sorely disappointed with the schnitzel sandwich. Opt for the shwarma instead. Make sure to ask for hummus & "chips" (fries) in your pita at no extra cost.

    This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend in NYC. They told me how great it was and the type of experience they had, so I decided to give it a try. They certainly were not wrong at all!

    You are better off getting a humus pita and adding grilled vegetables than getting a grilled veg pita and adding humus.

    Pickles and homemade hot sauce, could be my new favorite snack.

    Very good Shwarma. But a little too salty.

    Absolutely terrible. These are not fries, just potatoes drenched in oily. Soggy and disgusting. This gross platter was a shameful $15.

    $10 for cold, under-seasoned shawarma and bland hummus. Save your money and go to a halal cart for half the price.

    They charge extra for hummus and it's unnecessarily expensive. Not to mention the salad bar sucked. Go to kosher delight right next door.
