Whole wheat shawarma pitas, homemade hummus and carrot cake at a Graham Avenue counter.

Save room for the carrot cake.

🥙 A Savory Stop Turns Sweet

Pita Palace brings a sweet detour to a Williamsburg meal. The family run counter serves crisp, hot falafel and spiced shawarma, with colorful vegetables lined up in the display case. Hummus is made in house, and sandwiches can be ordered in soft whole wheat pita with generous tahini and garlic sauce. There is plenty to build an order around before you reach dessert.

The compact shop holds three or four tables for dining in, keeping a sit down meal on a small scale. Preparation happens daily, putting the emphasis on fresh Middle Eastern classics. House made carrot cake adds a bakery turn to the savory menu, an unexpected ending to keep in mind while ordering.

Find the shop at 413 Graham Avenue in Brooklyn. It opens daily from noon to half past eleven PM, with one consistent window whether you stop by during the week or over the weekend.
