Quick info
About The Pitta
The Pitta is a Greek restaurant on High Street in Colchester, where souvlaki in a wrap features prominently on the menu alongside other Greek staples such as kebabs. The kitchen prepares lunchtime wraps, and reviewers point to the chicken souvlaki as a popular lunchtime choice. Souvlaki, wraps and the broader Greek menu shape the kitchen's focus. A wait is common at peak times, so it is run on a walk-in basis. The Pitta operates as a walk-in Greek spot where guests order at the counter and eat on site, with the room set up for casual lunches and dinners.

Customer Review Summary
The chicken souvlaki is the clear standout, named as a go-to by multiple reviewers, and most describe the food overall as brilliant, authentic Greek and well priced. Service is repeatedly called fast and friendly. One diner notes the wrap could use a little more sauce, calling the first few bites a bit dry.
