I love their falafel because it's incredibly crunchy on the outside and still manages to be nice and fluffy on the inside. The flavor that comes out of the little balls is unique, but not something you'll find anywhere else.

It's clear the chefs know what they are doing when it comes to making their falafel because they have perfected a distinct taste that I haven't tasted in any other Mediterranean cuisine.

I've been to plenty of pita places before, and Craft Pita is definitely a standout. The falafel was some of the best I've ever had - the perfectly crisped exterior giving way to a soft, fluffy interior. It was well-seasoned, flavorful and cooked just right. They also have a great selection of fillings for the pita - my favorite being the tomatoes and cucumbers that made for a nice crunchy contrast to the falafel.

Overall, Craft Pita offers a great experience in terms of taste, atmosphere and price - it's no wonder they're considered one of the best falafel in Houston. Whether you're looking for something fast and delicious or an amazing lunch spot, you can't go wrong with Craft Pita!
