magical place
i have never in my life consumed a more delicious chicken shwarma. please, whatever you may do in this world, whichever path you may choose to take, go to brooklyn pita, and have a chicken shwarma, in pita (not wrap), no onions (too strong). say yes when he asks you if you want hot sauce and tahini. if you're allergic to hot sauce or tahini, still say yes to both hot sauce and tahini. the baklava is so good it should be a felony not to eat it. 40 to life. the owner is the nicest man you'll meet in brooklyn. it's a magical place.

This place is awesome!
Brooklyn Pita is maaad good. A friend recommended I give Brooklyn Pita a chance, so when I was feeling adventurous I stopped in. I got the standard, a Shawarma sandwich with all the fixings and after my first bite I was hooked. Their salad bar's pretty cool too.

damn good service
I recently moved to the area and am a believer in Brooklyn Pita. This place won me over with the chicken shawarma. . . Juicy, well-spiced, packed with crisp lettuce, and an excellent clash of hot sauce and tahini. I love the grape leaves too, nothing better in the summer time. While the food is reason to come back, customer service is where Brooklyn Pita shines. Service is friendly, the place while humble is always immaculate, and it's not uncommon for the owner to deep fry your falafel fresh to order. I agree with Wolfenstein 3D if theres something better around i haven't found it yet. damn good!

Really good.
I was in town for 2 weeks and had to have some good shawarma. Holy this stuff is so addicting i found my self eating it every night for 2 weeks. The service is really nice and the food, lets just say i don't think i am going to taste again until i come back. i wonder if they would deliver to boston.

Brooklyn Pita Has my Business Forever
The first time I went into Brooklyn Pita I was delighted by their friendly service, great prices, and of course the delicious falafel with free soup or salad bar. After my experience a few days ago, now not only do I think their food is great, I think they might have the best customer service of any place I've ever experienced in Brooklyn. I went there in person with a takeout order, ordering a chicken shwarma for my boyfriend and just an assorted salad and soup for me. When we got home and opened up the bag, we discovered the chicken shwarma wasn't in there. I called them back to discuss what happened and there had been a misunderstanding- when I said I just wanted the side salad and soup, he thought that meant I didn't want the sandwich. He then offered to deliver the sandwich to our door in Kensington, which is outside of their delivery district. He came in exactly 15 minutes and then did not allow us to pay for it or tip him. We were shocked and our commitment to Brooklyn Pita was reaffirmed.

Brooklyn Pita is great!
Brilliantly seasoned, charred yet moist and tender, placed beautifully in a warm lavash with fresh dressings and a tahini that is a welcome refuge from the watery, flavorless tahini at almost every other pita place in the slope. This is THE place around here to get shawarma as far as I know, and I thought I had tried almost all of them... I would like to ask the previous reviewer where he thinks is better around here. Please don't say this place isn't the best if you have no examples of places in the hood that produce a shawarma that supercedes Brooklyn Pita's in deliciousness... that's just being negative for the sake of being negative. You need examples to support your argument good sir. Brooklyn Pita's still the best in my book until you actually PROVE me wrong. Don't get me wrong, I would love to know of something better, but how much can you improve on near perfection?

decent shwarma for on the go
Been here multiple times the shwarma is satisfactory and the salad bar is acceptable. It is by no means the best shwarma in Park Slope or any other slope for that matter. The lamb shwarma does the job for a quick pita joint but is a little dry.
