  First time having Pita Nutso in almost a decade and it's just as good if not better than I remember! Very happy to see that their quality and consistency has held up over the years unlike some of those "other" shawarma spots. Good portions, value, and delicious - the chicken is cooked perfectly, slightly crispy and juicy. Garlic sauce and hot sauce are both delicious. Definitely holds the crown for best shawarma and chicken on the rocks in streetsville

  FINALLY!!! THIS is the shawarma place we've all been looking for! TLDR/Short summary: Authentic, delicious, fresh shawarma made in less than 15 minutes. Extremely friendly customer service from employees who show extra attention to detail. LONGER REVIEW OF FULL EXPERIENCE 👇👇👇 My INITIAL Reaction: When my friend and I first walked into Pita Nutso, we missed the lunch hour rush and met Ali. He said to us, "You'll miss the shawarma" as we were walking out the door and planning to check out another restaurant. That stuck around in our minds, so we immediately came back to Pita Nutso and decided to give it a shot. As we got ready to place orders, we soon realized that this was the real deal. Ali was preparing a fresh shawarma stack and it was clear how focused he was on caring to every single detail of a customer's order. Getting The Food: My friend and I ordered "the works" shawarma platter. This platter was filled to the brim with fresh, fluffy rice, lots of chicken, crispy potato wedges, pita bread, and a fragrant salad on the side. The chicken was fresh, seasoned well, juicy, and just the right amount of crispy. It was complimented by a flavourful yellow rice Ali had just made on the stove. It wasn't drenched in oil, retained it's fluffiness, and helped to balance the saltiness of the chicken. There was also a garlic sauce and a spicy sauce which were added (based on customer preference). Ali placed the perfect amount and made sure not to drown the entire meal in sauce which often ruins the overall experience. Now this, by itself, was already perfect. But this platter had much more! The salad had this delicious raspberry vinaigrette that cut through the heaviness of the rice, chicken, and potato wedges. It cleansed the palette each time and helped you to enjoy the meal without feeling full to the point of being sick (which is something a lot of other shawarma places struggle with). At the end of this meal, you'll feel full, completely satisfied, and be looking forward to your next visit! Conclusion: You ABSOLUTELY need to give this place a try! It doesn't matter if you're a student, senior, or family of 4. For the price, flavour, authenticity, and portion sizes Pita Nutso cannot be beat! Ali, and everyone else working there really enhance the experience by ensuring you're completely taken care of when you enter their resturant. Genuinely, I have not had shawarma this good since Dubai. Side note: I was extremely excited to post this review because I think more people need to know about this resturant. Speaking to Ali about the history of Pita Nutso, as well as the challenges they've overcome was an absolute treat. This establishment has been an integral part of Mississauga's history for over 20 years, and I know it'll be for many more years to come!

  My family and I have been coming to Pita Nutso in Streetsville for over a year. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and they treat us like family—we feel welcomed every time we walk through the doors. In addition, the food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and the staff.

  The owner and everyone working here are genuinely very friendly and welcoming, and you can really tell they take pride in both customer service and the food they serve. Every order is made with care, and nothing feels rushed or cheaply done. The food is cooked properly, full of flavor, and consistently high quality. Ali truly knows how to make a proper shawarma and does an amazing job every time. This is by far the best Pita Nut location. It’s the original and easily the best one. I’ve tried the others and they don’t come close. Honestly, this is one of the best shawarma spots in all of Mississauga and it deserves way more recognition.
