Christina Huynh: Stumbled across this place and was so glad that I did. Delicious food in generous portions! The baba ghannouj was so creamy, smoky, and flavorful. The chicken in the shish tawook wrap was juicy and perfectly charred. Their homemade fluffy pita was absolutely delightful with the fresh garlic sauce. I definitely will be returning if I'm in the area.

Nicholas Zandstra: One of the best mediterranean food places in the city. They serve fresh bread to start that you get to watch them bake. The garlic sauce is, without question, the best anywhere.

Coercri Seareach: This is the best place to get good gyro in Grand Rapids. After moving here I was in withdrawal missing my old gyro place. I was so lucky to find them. The food is amazing and the portions are very generous. Service has always been great. I wish they were open on weekends to address my cravings. Their garlic sauce is to die for. I've gone there several times just to get the sauce and pita. I haven't been able to find anything else like it locally.Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians and the sandwiches are customizable.

D Turk: Despite some of the bad reviews I was craving a gyro so I decided to give it a try. Was not disappointed the gyro was delicious and huge. The building is small with only a few seats and the ladies behind the counter were very nice. It's set up like a build your own with plenty of choices. I Would recommend giving it a try decently be back when I come to town

Michael Negoescu: I was very disappointed on two fronts. First the price. Way overpriced for what you get. Even where I live in ca is more affordable. Second mediocre food. The fried Kibbee was soggy not crispy on the outside. The mini stuffed breads were microwaved reheated which is nothing compared to the real freshly made. The babaganoush was just ok , the bread that came with it was from a pre bought bag. Again such a disappointment especially for the price you pay. I would never go there again on my work trips.

T “Boots”: In a time when prices are astronomical and portions are smaller, which consumers are accepting, the expectation is taste and service should shine. My 20.00 Sammi combo was very bland and cold. I had enough pita and veggies leftover to make another sandwich, luckily I cooked Lamb for dinner Monday. My point is I used to have enough sandwich to cut in half, not this time. Will I eat there again, probably because I have been eating their gyros since Sammi was making them out of a corner store on Wealthy! Will I spend 20.00 on a combo? Absolutely not, speedway beverage and McDonald's value fry is still less expensive

Shelley Smith: Love this place and wish they could get more staff. Food is so good and love the people who work here!

Andrea Dewey: Food is delicious and we’ve loved going there for years, but they changed how you order so you can’t see the sandwich as it is prepared, they switched from Coke to Pepsi, and prices have gone up drastically. It was $45 for three sandwiches (one was a combo). The prices were high to start, but that’s outrageous. Unfortunately we won’t be able to eat there anymore with prices that high.

Damir “Grof” Kesar: Pita House is one of my local favorites and has been since I first tried it who knows how many years ago, in a hurry you can never go wrong with Sami's. Some very good food that you can get and go in minutes.If you have more time on your hand I really recommend the platters, my favorite has always been the Shish Kabob Platter with lamb, rice, humus and babaghanooj. I have never once been able to eat it in one meal alone, so either good to share with another person or lunch the following morning (maybe a late night snack)Everything is always fresh and made in front of you so you know you are getting quality food.Parking: They have parking in front of the building

Pamela Alburg: Do not and I repeat do not dine at this restaurant. They are always closed and a sign on their door with excuse after excuse as to why each time.

SunnyG: I will never purchase food from this place again! Ordered the Greek fries and they appeared to have been freezer burnt and they still cooked and sold them to me. Ordered a chicken wrap and the chicken appeared to be the chicken that didn't sell the week before. Check your food before leaving if your order is to go. Very disappointed because my two previous visits were good. Quality has definitely gone down and I could never eat here again after my last experience.

LikeSoTotallyHillary: Absolutely the best! I love their food so much! It's fabulous and scrumptious! I've been going to The Pita House for over 20 years and I have always had a great experience and the best meal ever!

Michael Clark: Friendly service, loved the food

Brandon O: Polite staff, not too busy with a nice section for sitting in. Food is top notch.

Mike Krammen: Was visiting family in Michigan this summer and stopped here after we got done with the mall. I purchased a gyro fountain drink and four falafel's. It was kinda expensive however I did not mind at all, I cant remember the total of the bill but it was well worth it. The gyro was huge and was able to include feta cheese on it total done deal. The Falafel was really good as well I shared with my mom and it was her first time trying the ball of goodness and she thought they were terrific as well. If you want a good gyro and some good falafel this is the place. The employees were nice and the food is amazing. I'm from Chicago and so is my family I know awesome food and this place is awesome.

Jody Deems-McCargar (JDM): Our favorite place down town for a healthy bite before an event or show. Always delicious food. Service has been a little inconsistent for us, sometimes they are really on top of it and other times slow... last weekend super slow and got our meal wrong. They were quick to correct the error though and frankly even the wrong order is AOK and worth waiting for because everything Parsleys makes is delicious!

Ravi Patel: 3.5 /5Really great service but I'd expect a lot more of a green salad base than I received if I'm spending $18 for it. Will go with a rice base next time

Kari Balcom: falafel wrap was delicious!!! The only reason I am not giving it a five star is because I paid extra for feta cheese to be added to it and the girl did not put it on. I had to get a container of it and put it on myself and there was no hummus put on it but it called for it on the menu. The sauce that is on it though was really good.

Robin B: Stopped in for a quick dinner before a concert. Food was very good and the staff was very friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp.

Cortez Rouse: I was here for a graduation dinner. The ambiance was pretty nice, very calm vibes. I had a great server. Very attentive and humorous. The food on the other hand, didn't taste up to par. I ordered the lasagna from the menu (very small menu, not many options).I wasn't satisfied at all with the lasagna. The presentation was bland and the lasagna wasn't seasoned good. It was very dry. I called my server over to express my disappointment and to place another order, different from the lasagna. My server informed me that I would have to pay for the lasagna, including the additional meal. I asked if I could be discounted at the least for the inconvenience. My server said no and then I asked to speak to a manager which happened to be the owner of the establishment.The owner was very dismissive and lacked empathy. I was in total shock with the way she responded giving the fact that one, she is the owner, and two, we are the customers, here supporting her establishment.Would I return here again or recommend this place to someone else? No. Try it out yourself. You may get a different experience!

Breanna Ramos: Every facet of our experience was fantastic. Marcus knocked it out of the park with every cocktail (we tried several). Their bone marrow is exceptional with a refreshingly different approach and flavor profile than most restaurants. We also appreciated that the bone was cut lengthwise, as it makes it much easier to access the marrow. Their charcuterie was the best presentation we've seen from a restaurant, and every element was delicious. For our main course, we had the pork shank and lasagna, which were both wonderful. The ambience was great and the restaurant itself is beautiful, and it's not stuffy at all. The service was wonderful, especially Morgan, who was kind, funny, attentive, and helpful. An often overlooked detail we greatly appreciated was how comfortable the chairs are. At risk of sounding snooty, we love fine dining and have been to many Michelin-starred and bib gourmand restaurants, so we tend to be more critical of nicer restaurants because of what we have to compare it to. Divani didn't disappoint. We don't have any critiques or suggestions and left completely satisfied. We went to a show after dinner and then decided to come right back for more cocktails, coffee, tea, and creme brulee to end the night. We live almost two hours away and will be back regularly.

Iman Siddiqui: Beautiful restaurant with an amazing ambiance.

jasmine robinson: IMMACULATE VIBES! Bartender is a 10/10! Food was incredible! Definitely coming back and telling all my friends!

Nicole Pitcher: This restaurant is amazing!! Our favourite in the city hands down !! We go there every year for my birthday now is become a tradition 🎉 they are so friendly from the minute you walk until you leave, we are never disappointed. The vibe is cozy, the chairs are so comfortable and we love the candle light ambiance. Now the FOOD is amazing 😍 the quality of the ingredients are top notch and everything we have tried has tasted amazing. This year we tried the pork shank and the divani burger and wow !! If you are looking for a great place to celebrate yourself or just a really good dinner experience you need to check out this restaurant. The price really isn't that bad considering how amazing the food is and we love supporting a local business!! Looking forward to going back again and again !!

Courtney Leigh: Don’t come here unless you want to be scolded by the bartender and talked down to for asking questions about the menu. I have celiac disease so I have to be very careful when I dine out, and I asked if a certain drink was gluten free. I was immediately told I was wrong for even asking the question and then given an (unwelcomed) school lesson on how all drinks are gluten free. Ridiculous and embarrassing experience. Will not be back.Dietary restrictions: Would not trust this establishment if you are gluten free or have celiac disease.

David Backstrom: Everything was perfect. I recommend and will definitely go back. We always choose a nice restaurant for our anniversary and this restaurant is fantastic.Parking: Arrive early to get a spot to park you might have a short walk and traffic can be busy.

Lizzy S: Divani is a really cool place for dinner and/or drinks. I had the mushroom risotto and it was probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I also tried the pop rock and drop it, campfire martini, and espresso martini. All were delicious and super cute. The staff are all amazing - especially Morgan. She was so attentive and fun! She made our experience even better. Thanks, Morgan!!!

Ryan Burkhart: Exceptional dining experience. From cocktails to desserts, everything was perfectly paired and prepared.

kristina k: Esteticamente bello, ma il cibo lascia molto a desiderare ,mi avevano parlato bene di questo ristorante ma la mia esperienza è stata pessima , un risotto pieno di pepe , impossibile mangiarlo e che ho comunque pagato , mi hanno portato il dolce torta al cioccolato , di almeno qualche giorno che non si tagliava neanche con la forchetta per quanto era duro , quello non l'ho pagato. Esperienza da dimenticare...non so che dire avranno cambiato chef o non era nel suo giorno migliore . Non ci tornerò più.

Elaina Mackey: Bar Divani hosted our elopement reception a few weeks ago, and it was a 12/10 experience from start to finish. They were really quick with communication leading up to the day which I greatly appreciate! The food & drinks were INCREDIBLE, and the service was amazing. I really loved the ambiance of the space too. Highly recommend whether you're considering hosting an event here, or just stopping in for dinner. Thanks Wendy for all your help!

Q: A fantastic menu and service! We appreciated the upscale yet casual dining experience.Parking: Parking is tight because it is right downtown; if you don't want to waste too much time hunting for a street you can park in one of the lots by the arena. It will be much more expensive, however!
