Great Vegan Menu - Edit
This restraint has an entire vegan menu you can request, which seems to be mostly items rejiggered to be vegan. The portion sizes are huge and the food is very tasty, with fresh veggies and tofu.
Read morePros: Large portions, Lots of vegan options
Cons: May be cross contamination

Long time customer - Edit
So, I met one of the GM’s ages ago, and we spoke at length about the food at Pita Jungle. To say they have vegan options is such an understatement imo. They will totally try to help veganize any dish you want if they can. I love so many of their dishes. Being from Phoenix, Pita Jungle has long been one of my staples. The Lentil fatoosh is just amazing. Their jalapeño cilantro hummus is SOOOO good!!!
Read morePros: All good food, Huge- HUGE portions
Cons: Always busy

Nice Food - Edit
I ate here several times, and the food is nice. I am a soup person, so I mostly had their soups and sides (ask soups without the pita chips). The lentil soup and the chili are to die for. The chickpea curry soup was nice, but not as good as the other two. The taboule salad was great. More then anything, the food is really cheap.
Read morePros: Great value for your price, Many vegan options
Cons: Some dishes are a miss

Pita Picked a Peppa - Edit
If you're looking for vegetarian comfort food, then Pita Jungle is the right place. With its extensive menu, there are several veggie meals and side options.
Read moreAlso it's one of the few places in Phoenix who sells a veggie burger with portobello mushroom cap as opposed to a disgusting processed soy or grain patty.
No complaints about the ratio of quantity to cost.
Fills me up.
Desserts are good.
Be forewarned though, the food is oily.
Pros: Multiple veggie options, Beautiful historic brick and mortar, Spacious and Outside seating
Cons: Oily

great patio - Edit
We met omni friends here while visiting. They have a very nice menu. We both enjoyed great food. My husband had the macro platter and really liked it. A good size portion. I had the falafel wrap and it was nice a tasty. We order the red pepper hummus for a started and licked the plate clean. Great place for a mixed dinning group.

simmer down...lots of VEGAN options here:-) - Edit
just freaked out for a moment as this is my spot. i saw a bad review stating that there is lack of disclosure and vegan options. NOT TRUE! the full menu is online and there is even a vegan menu to clarify everything. their pita that comes with the hummus and on the falafel sandwich is vegan! the only pita they have that is non-vegan is the greek pita, which i have never had a reason to order a chicken pita, therefore i have not tasted. this is a great happy hour spot! the patio is a cute area with trees and lights and the tapas plates are cheap, vegan and amazing!the service can be a little weird and slow, but i find that to be true at nearly all pita jungle (which is strange since they are all independently owned and operated).

Lemons + garlic = pita jungle - Edit
There is a local vegan meetup that I've notices that frequents pita jungle. Decided to give it a try. Highly disappointed. Few vegan options. There are several vegan listings on the site, but everything is meant to be eaten with or on a pita. The server informed me that the pita bread is not vegan. So my husband got the tabouli salad, which he said was 97% parsley. Then I got just sides: new potatoes, garlic mushrooms, and steamed broccoli. The potatoes and mushrooms were VERY lemony. My husband thought the garlic was marinated in a lemon juice/sauce. And I'm not sure how you mess up steamed broccoli but they did. Half the broccoli was over done, complete mush, the other half was not cooked enough and quite crunchy still. Plus everything that should've been hot was barely warm. Will not return. Vegans (or even non) should check out Green Vegetarian. Better taste, better price.
Read morePros: Nice waitress....
Cons: Too much lemon!!! , Few truly vegan options, Over priced, you pay for the atmosphere

Excellent meals and wonderful staff! - Edit
Overall, very veg*n friendly, but (sadly) has plenty for people that eat animal flesh.
Read moreGreat staff that's fully up to speed on veg*n lifestyles and desires.
