Pita Express

I had a GF lamb gyro today and it was absolutely delicious. The sweet lady at the counter answered all of my questions and suggested the GF birds nest dessert too. Everything was great!

Loved the gyros sandwich with Greek salad. The put wonderful spices on the salad and the lamb meat in the gyro was fantastic as is the yogurt sauce. Had the gluten free momo for desert. The anise seed in it made it extra special. It was wrapped in plastic in the desert case.

Next time I went in the morning and got their gluten free lamb omlett. My husband had the gluten free Spanish omlett. Both were fantastic. Got the plastic wrapped gluten free baklava which was good but not really anything like baklava. They have a few gluten free deserts that weren't wrapped in plastic in the case with non gluten free deserts. I mentioned to the owner that I would love to try them but couldn't due to them being Next to or under the traditional baklava. Hopefully she will either move all the gluten free to the top two rows or wrap all gluten free in plastic. There are 3 plastic wrapped choices.

Third time I got an omlett called al arrosa. The owner recommended it so I thought it would be something special. It was tiny, 2 vs 3 eggs and not flavorful. I would have done better at home with frozen bell peppers and onions and eggs.

However my first meal was roll your eyes back in your head good and the meat omlettes withnthree eggs were fantastic so this is one of my favorite restaurants! Don't forget to try the authentic deserts. You will be glad you did.

Truly glad to find this! Was recommended by a local couple with a blog, one of whom has celiac and the other a dairy allergy. The owner is lovely and extremely helpful - she can accommodate many allergies and I got to have a gyro and fries for the first time since my diagnosis :) dedicated fryer and falafel is gluten free too - even GF/DF desserts! Definitely don’t miss this place for breakfast or lunch in the Hendersonville/Flat Rock area

A hidden gem! Since moving to Hendersonville, I have eaten here many times. Lina and her husband offer delicious fresh food and easily accommodate our gluten-free dairy-free diet. She offers a gluten-free wrap in lieu of a pita for sandwiches and as a side to salads. I love the gyro with salad, falafel/hummus wrap, vegetarian plate, and isle salad (gyro meat salad). They have the best falafel!! I haven’t specifically asked if fries are gluten-free and have not clarified if they use a shared fryer (which is ok with me). She has wonderful sweet treats too including gf/df baklava and birds nest cookies among others.
