Pita Cabana Grill

Ordered chicken shawarma plate and was so bad, it was the end of the shawarma that they have and most of the chicken I got was fat and skin which is disgusting for me. Also ordered Falafel rice plater and it was one of the worst Falafel I’ve ever tried. Our third order was gyro rice plater which was eatable but will never order it again. Lady who’s taking orders doesn’t have idea about Arabic food. I might go again to try the whole chicken with rice.

Top 5 restaurants in State College. Delicious, big portioned and cheap. The Satsah Chicken Platter (+ extra chicken) was absolutely amazing. So good. And for the price, definitely worth it. Great portion, ate this to end a fast. I was very full at the end and I’m a big eater. Tender chicken, great marinade, great flavors. The perfect meal. Roommates got the Granada Sandwich chicken and couldn’t only finish half. Was also very good.

Definitely a great place for Mediterranean food. The quantity they give is huge. Hummus and baba ganoush exemplify the taste. We took rice bowls and felt very heavy. I think sandwich is a better option as it’s grilled and this carries heat into the food. The price is also very affordable. The bowls come in 2 sizes (regular and large). Sandwich comes only in one size though. I would strongly recommend people to try this. If there are any vegetarians reading this, Falafels here are the best I have had!! So I recommend trying this place.

Is Pita Cabana authentic? No. I must have had hundreds of gyro/doner/shawarma in my life and have never seen shawarma served like this (meat with cheese and toasted like a quesadilla). Ok, but is it tasty? I mean, if your definition of tasty is underseasoned fries and meat with cheese in pita with nothing fresh or bright in the vicinity, go for it. Lebanese food is served with fresh vegetables/salad to balance and brighten things, which you’d assume a “platter” would come with. Unfortunately not. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but my plate had no redeeming qualities. On the positive: The two employees were very friendly and nice.

Party of two, visited on a Saturday for lunch, place is roomy, with intersting decor, wall art, clean and welcoming. Ordered at counter, we had the Arabic platter and a salad. Food was 9/10 for taste and portion size. We like our food so much that we also ordered takeout before leaving. Fresh cut tomatoes, red onions would have made the platter a 10/10. Will surely visit again when in the area.
