Tucked away in the Green Tree Mini Mall off Milton Road, My Pita Wrap Mediterranean Grill not only serves fresh Greek favorites such as hummus, falafel, baba ghanoush and chicken, beef and lamb gyros, it also has an in-house food market. Owner Sam Abdallah says all his recipes are derived from his hometown in Palestine, 15 minutes north of Jerusalem in a village he says is full of olive trees.
“I use my family’s recipes from the old country and 98% of our food is prepared from scratch,” he said.
According to Abdallah, his Corner Mediterranean Store is the only store in Northern Arizona that sells Greek food. “We stock spices, Middle Eastern teas, dates, tahini, halva, bulgur, stuffed vine leaves and a very rich olive oil made fresh from the factory in Greece.”
Abdallah says he uses the olive oil in his dishes.
“The food is healthy, made from scratch, and so delicious,” said Northern Arizona University (NAU) nursing student Camie Riese. “The staff is also very friendly. I’ve bought several items from their store and next on my list is their virgin olive oil.”
