While restaurants come and go in Florida, The Original Pita Hut has withstood the test of time and has been one of the veterans on 41st Street in Miami Beach. Serving an Israeli style grill restaurant, Original Pita Hut has made quite an impression on their fans.
In fact, the Miami New Times describes the in and outs of the restaurant perfectly: Most people order either the flawlessly seasoned falafels or the shawarma, real slices of lamb and turkey piled atop each other on a rotating spit. Whichever you choose, it's worth paying the extra dollar and substituting a larger, fluffier laffa bread for the pita -besides tasting better and holding more food, the laffa is far less likely to sprout a leak of tahini onto your favorite T-shirt. Top seeds among the numerous freshly prepared salads are a creamy and char-flavored babaghannoush and a hummus whose consistency is neither too wet from excessive oil, nor dry and pasty like the commercial stuff.
The Middle East combo includes both of these spreads along with tabbouleh, tahini, and a mildly spicy Turkish salad of diced tomato, onion, celery, peppers, and parsley. Two other specialties of note: imported Israeli pickles cured in salt, not vinegar, and accompanied by olives and hot peppers; and the Lebanese ful medames, warm fava beans, tahini, a piquant red sauce, and chopped hard-boiled egg served over hummus.
They're menu has expanded and so has the restaurant, literally. They have opened up Sushi Hut, offering dozens of sushi items all made by authentic sushi chefs. Catering is available for both Middle Eastern and sushi cuisine.
