You’ve probably heard the buzzword “Halal”…
But what does it actually mean when it comes to food?
It means the animals are treated very ethically and cleanly before it is served to your table. We don’t talk about this enough because there simply is just not enough education about it. The animals were treated well and didn’t supper during preparation. They are not exposed to anything they are not supposed to, and there are also a limited number of butcheries that offer halal certified meats, which naturally adds to the overhead cost. But unlike the chains who cut corners at all cost, we as a family-run local chain care about what we serve to our guests table, because we eat this everyday. We want to treat you the same way we’d like to treat our own health, so the quality is non-negotiable.
Come take a chance and dine with us, and see why this CEO gets to eat the food every single day instead of the CEOs out there that tried and… Well, you know what happened👀

You work with the social media girl and the same sound plays 500 times while she edits 😭🔁

At Pita Pita Mediterranean, filming the videos is fun… but editing means hearing the same 3 seconds of audio all day. Worth it though for the laughs and the fresh food content.
