Situated in a nondescript strip mall Pita Kabob dishes out authentic Mediterranean food owned by a fine Lebanese family. Start out with their delicious Babba Ghanouj ($4.99) - a mixture of grilled eggplant blended into a puree with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and topped with extra virgin olive oil. Order 2 sides of pita bread ($0.45) to dip with and also try a side of (3) grape leaves ($1.75) stuffed with rice. If you're with a group, order their appetizer plate called Full Mezza ($14.99) which includes hummus, babba ghanouj, cucumber-yogurt dip, falafel, grape leaves, and tabbouleh salad. For the main entree you have the choices of kabob bowls, combination plates, rotisserie chicken, grilled meat and vegetarian pita wraps, or kabob skewers. I ordered a shish kabob combination plate which included charbroiled cubes of lamb marinated with special seasonings topped with roasted tomatoes and onions. The Combo plate includes fresh pita bread, cucumber-yogurt dip, and your choice of 2 sides; rice pilaf, hummus, garden salad, or fries. I elected for the hummus and garden salad which came with a olive oil dressing and lightly sprinkled sumac. It was some of the most tender and juicy lamb I have ever had, and the sides were phenomenal as well. After eating, treat yourself with a extremely dark Turkish coffee ($1.50) and a piece of their fresh daily made baklava ($1.50).  Pita Kabob and Grill 2226 S.
