Pita Or Bowl serves up delectable Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food at the corner of Ninth Street and South Grand Avenue in Springfield. Pita Or Bowl’s menu is filled with a variety of colorful dishes, large portions and fully customizable fare, making it a great choice for a fast casual lunch or dinner, or quick and filling carryout or delivery anytime.
Diners and reviewers often praise Pita Or Bowl’s ability to “have it your way.” Customers can choose among fresh pitas, bowls or wraps, and there are protein options for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. Protein choices include tasty vegetarian falafel or cauliflower, fall-apart chicken shawarma, lamb kufta or shish kabob and gyro meats. Each protein can be paired with the customer’s favorite bases such as rice, hummus or baba ganoush along with fresh veggies, tons of toppings (the Arabic pickles are delicious) and sauces that range from creamy and garlicky to spicy.
Don’t skimp on the sides, either. Grab some hummus or lentil soup to share with your crowd and delight in Pita Or Bowl’s crispy, salty, homemade pita chips. Whenever I have a bring-a-side-dish-to-share event, a quick pick up or delivery of Pita Or Bowl’s hummus, baba ganoush, pita chips and baklava are a crowd-pleasing no brainer.
Pita or Bowl is a convenient option for anyone craving insanely delicious Mediterranean food with a fast-casual ambiance or hearty takeout.
