Pita House

The Pita House is a beloved family-owned Lebanese restaurant nestled in the heart of historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Since opening its doors in 1992, this charming eatery has been serving authentic Mediterranean cuisine that captures the true essence of Lebanese hospitality. The restaurant was founded by a family who emigrated from Lebanon in 1984 during the civil war, bringing with them precious family recipes passed down through generations from their mother. The Pita House remains committed to serving exclusively sourced halal meat in every dish, ensuring authenticity and quality for all guests. The menu features an impressive array of both meat and vegetarian options, including standout dishes like the Mix Grill combination of charcoal grilled kafta, lamb kabob and chicken kabob, the tender Lamb Shank roasted with spiced tomato sauce, and the rich Fatteh Bel Djaj with stewed chicken. Signature appetizers such as the Hummus Special topped with beef or chicken shawarma, creamy Baba Ghanouj, and the aromatic Sauteed Shrimp on pita bread keep patrons coming back for more. The warm, elegant ambiance makes it perfect for family dinners, special occasions, or romantic evenings. Open for lunch and dinner, The Pita House continues the legacy of its founder, offering authentic Lebanese flavors at reasonable prices in a welcoming atmosphere that treats every guest like family.
