    Well-known as a cheap-date restaurant at ASU. Still, you don't have to be a starving scholar to enjoy vittles like the thick baba ghanouj, roasted chicken pita, or "dolphin-friendly" tuna melt pizza. Read more

    Great atmosphere and unique food selection make it an awesome dinner spot. Definitely one of my favorite places to go when I'm back in my Sun Devil homeland! The pitas are tasty and filling!

    Not only is it healthy, but it's also delicious! Everything on the menu is great, even the dishes you may not think you want to try. Also, the house lemonade is my favorite! So good.

    Favorites are Chicken pasta salad (always enough for leftovers for lunch) and Pesto pizza with chicken. Hard to go wrong with anything you order here.

    This restaurant is basically the best invention in the world. I used to be so addicted I would come here at least once a week! I get the iced soy chai tea everytime, along with their hummus, yumm!

    If you haven't eaten at this Tempe staple, then you're missing out. The servers are hip and the food is fresh. Check out the art on the walls; it's all done by local artists. A must-do in Tempe.

    I love their chicken curry salad. It's got tons of ingredients so I'll never make it at home. They have good baklava too.

    The Mediterranean Platter has so many great things--hummus, pita, tabouli, dolmades and falafel! It's our fave, paired with their sangria.

    Holy falafel, Batman! Pita Jungle has become a Tempe favorite, dishing up some of the best Mediterranean fare this side of the Atlantic. Don’t leave without trying the hummus!

    Try their chicken pasta because it is very delicious. They serve you with big cups of beverage which is another plus.

    The jalapeno hummus is perfectly spicy without being overwhelming. Get the lemonade, too! Not too tart, not too sweet. Ask for a to-go cup on your way out.

    Tried the chicken pasta salad. I don't know why, but it had a weird taste to it. Felt sick later. I would try some of their other stuff.

    Tried their falafel sandwich and it was dry lacking any sauce. I had to drink a lot of water to swallow it down. Pricing is ridiculously high and not one of the best Mediterranean restaurants.
