Welcome to the Jungle!
02.03.12
Pita Jungle, the newest restaurant in Newport Beach dedicated to the art of eating healthy specializes in made from scratch Mediterranean dishes with a twist. The Arizona based award-winning eatery is already a local favorite for those looking for a sit-down health conscious restaurant with fair prices, and a full bar. We’re loving the artistic hip interior, from the glazed concrete flooring, exposed white ceiling, repurposed table stands, to the second-hand chairs and stunning resin art panel. (It’s hard to believe this once housed a Blockbuster Video store.)
The extensive menu covers special diets like vegan and vegetarian options, and be sure to try the chicken tikka masala in coconut masala served over brown rice with fresh pea sprouts; cilantro jalapeno hummus with pita; wood-fired fresh salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and wilted spinach; and our favorite pizzas: the chipotle chicken lavosh pizza; and roasted garlic and portabella pizza with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, feta cheese, basil, herbs, Kalamata olives, and parmigiano regianno cheese. Other choices include hot and cold pita sandwiches, composed salads, healthy burgers, combination plates, wood-fired pizza, pita wraps, and specials.
Daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. offers specials on tapas and drinks. Open from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
1200 Bison Ave in Newport Beach. 949.706.7711.
