In comparison to the food options in Mac Hall(food court at UofC), this place gets 5 stars. Everything is overpriced on campus, and although this is no exception, it’s much better value compared to the other options(especially compared to extreme pita). There are several halal/kosher options, as well as vegetarian or vegan choices. The food is fresh, or at least was freshly prepared in house and frozen to be cooked when you order it. They offer you lemon juice and/or hot sauce on everything, and their selection of veggies and sauces is pretty good. The owner can be pretty grumpy. Just repeat what you want if he didn’t hear you, and don’t take it personally if he swears at the veggies.

I’ve eaten lunch in Mac Hall every day for the last decade, and have been to Pita on the Run many, many times. The sfeeha and other pies are good, but IMO overpriced at $ 4 or whatever they are. The donairs are a JOKE — they give you about 3 tiny strips of beef, a couple of tomatoes and then fill the rest of the pita with LETTUCE. hahaha, and this thing is like $ 6!!! what a ripoff! Real donairs don’t even have lettuce, but they’re obviously just using it as filler to make the sandwich appear bigger. If you’re looking for a donair in the area, avoid Pita on the Run and drive over to Jimmy’s A&A Deli, where for just a coupld bucks more you can get a GIANT donair filled with tons and tons of beef.

In the major dining area for UofC, offering a variety of Greek and other foods. Not mind blowing, but the food is cheap and its one of the few worthwhile vegan options on campus. Falafel is pretty good even though the balls are microwaved. Veggies are fresh. They recently updated their counter and ask you for all the veggies you want, and are pretty generous. I always ask for hummus with my falafel wrap and they don’t charge extra.
