Spicy Tofu Bowl & Falafels

I enjoyed my experience. The staff was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about my vegan requests. Ask for the separate Vegan Me u.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Separate Vegan Menu, Affordable

Disappointing

They have several Vegan items on the menu, which is awesome. But I am not happy with the Vegan Spicy Tofu Wrap. The thing is humongous. I appreciate meals that are big enough to leave you with leftovers, but it was impossible to eat this as a wrap. I had to use a fork and knife, after making a huge mess while attempting to take bites out of it. The other big issue was the pieces of veggies (broccoli and cauliflower) and the Tofu blocks were HUGE. They did not bother to cut them into manageable sizes. I literally had to take them out of the wrap and cut them out myself. It tasted good, but I will never order that again.

Fully vegan menu

Ask for a vegan menu! Many dishes can be made fully vegan, beyond just a veggie burger or salad.

Tasty food!

They offer a separate vegan menu upon request. And the kids menu has vegan compliant options as well! We were all happy with our meals and cleared our plates. My only wish is that this restaurant was close to home!

Pros: Vegan menu, Good atmosphere

Cons: Tight seating

An OK option

I want to like this restaurant, but they make it difficult

Their menu looks real good, but I've only tried a few items, since I can't get anyone to return with me for a 2nd visit

Their service people are not consistently friendly, not sure if they are too busy, or don't like the look of us, but I've only had one really good experience here

I continue to visit, with friends, but none have agreed to return after our experience

They seem to be constantly busy due to their location near many businesses

Pros: Good menu selection, clean place, Good, well made food

Cons: the staff, the wait times, the general lack of concern for our experience

Where are the VEGAN choices?

We went here after being told that they had HUNDREDS of menu items that were vegetarian/vegan friendly. Well, that might be true of the vegetarian items, but we couldn't find enough food on the menu to feed us four vegans. We ended up with some hummus and fries (something that could be ordered nearly anywhere...). Things that are normally vegan were NOT. We couldn't have been more disappointed and we'll never go back. Vegetarians will love the place. Vegans not so much.

Pros: Easy to park

Cons: Few vegan options, Not 100% vegan, Overpriced on everything

big portions, well-done meals

Pita Jungle has a large menu with a lot of veg options. We especially liked the kids menu, it's not just the usual greasy pizza or mac and cheese that many restaurants serve. The portions were large (and they have a good beer selection too).

Pros: good value, good kids menu, good food

Very pleasant dinner place

We started out with beer and a nice hummus plate and had falafel pita and falafel salad for entrees. All were tasty and well-prepared, with ample portions. There are just a couple of vegan/vegetarian choices in each category, but there are a lot of categories -- starters, salads, pitas, healthy burgers, pizzas, specials (just one vegan choice under specials). The service was friendly and efficient. It was fun being able to see all the goings-on in the busy kitchen from our table. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Pros: Good food, well-prepared, Friendly, efficient service, Comfortable atmosphere

Yummy food

Good choices. I like that they break down the kids menu into a food plate. Helps reinforce what categories each food falls into. The outside patio is very nice. The service is usually very good, though can slack if they're busy. Though not exactly health food, their vegan garlic home fries are AMAZING!!

Pros: Flavorful food, Many vegan choices

Cons: Service can be poor on occasion.
