Pita Republic is my favourite take-out place in Burlington! First of all the food is both utterly delicious and healthy. As a person who values my health this is very important to me. I'm so glad there is a reasonably priced local food spot where I can eat and feel good about putting nourishing stuff in my body. Also the staff is very friendly. My favourite dish is chicken and rice with veggies. 10/10!!

I have been going to this place for years to grab lunches and dinners and have always loved the service and food. I typically get chicken shawarma wraps or with rice and the owner greets me with a smile, small talk and remembers my order. The portions are large and fresh and the pricing is reasonable. It can be busier at certain times of the day but the line is moved through pretty quickly so you are never waiting long. I as well as many of my friends agree that it is easily one of the, if not the best Mediterranean food spots in the area.

The.... BEST Shawarma place in town. I’ve recently moved to Hamilton from Burlington and have tried to find somewhere that can compare but it’s been impossible. It’s worth the commute every time for the quality of food and service. I think it’s been about 12-13 years I’ve been going here and it just gets better every time.

Absolutely Delicious! This place serves the best shawarma I’ve ever had! The meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, and the wrap was fresh and packed with flavor. The garlic sauce was spot-on — creamy and full of taste without being overpowering. Everything tasted homemade with love. Fast service, clean place, and super friendly staff. If you’re craving real, authentic shawarma, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

Ordered Door Dash! The wrap was good and the fries were as well! Thought the Baklava would be a little crunchier but it wasn't bad!

Best shawarma in town.. It is very hard to get and maintain 4.7 on Google with over 500 reviews currently. This speaks for itself in the quality of the food and the friendliness of the owner. The very very few that gave it a one star probably had COVID taste buds and couldn't taste the food properly or were "those" type of people you can never please. He has the flavor and spices dialed in perfectly. Just moved to the area so glad this place exists. Haven't been to anywhere better.
