Located in a small outdoor shopping mall anchored by Ann Arbor's only Trader Joe's, Pita King could easily go unnoticed (indeed, I think it was there for six months before I ever stopped in based on a last second decision to NOT get something from...the frozen section at TJ's to microwave for lunch), but once you find it and try it, you will be back. Their Kareemo is by far the best falafel with eggplant (and feta and whipped garlic, etc.) pita sandwich in the county, and the lentil soup is consistently good (not so for every other falafel joint out there). The hummus is very good (sadly, they do not offer baba of any sort--the menu is not extensive), as is the tabouleh. I like the spinach pies a good deal, too, but am not sure if they are made in house or not; I guess it does not much matter, as this is the only place I know to get them (not quite as good as those at Exotic Bakery but far less expensive at Pita King, as is everything else). A larger menu might be nice, but only two people work here (at least I have only seen two ever in about 2.5 years), and frankly too much would probably degrade quality overall. I can live with a narrow focus on a few selections done very well.More
