Abe’s Pitaria
“I love their Falafel so much that I had it 2-3 times a week during Lent and plan to keep having it frequently.”
“The food was delicious; it's been quite a while since I've had a gyro and pairing it with salad and skipping the pita made for the perfect lunch-filling but not too heavy.”
“My husbands Israeli salad (tomato, cucumber, onion, cilantro and seasoning–was very good too- I stole some of his!)”

The best gyro I've ever had. Abe's special sauce goes great with your gyro, service is fast and staff is friendly.
Since I first ate here about a month and a half ago I've been going here at least once a week.
I'm not too familiar with the Long Beach area and I needed to pick up something to eat quickly. I went on Yelp and really was in the mood for a greek salad. I found Abe's Pitaria and the food looked pretty good. I saw a photo someone posted of the salad they had. My mom had gone in and ordered us two greek salads with grilled chicken. She had said the man working was extremely rude and wasn't very friendly/helpful. They apparently only had one dressing, which was put on the side.
Once we got to our destination and had time to eat, we were very disappointed. The chicken was dry and the salad really only had cheese tomato cucumber and ice berg lettuce. The dressing was absolutely awful. It was oil with an odd taste to it. Next time I go to Long Beach, I'm going to look into other food options in the area.
I gave up all meat for Lent this year and I tried Abe's Falafel for the first time (I had always only went the Gyro route) and I was beyond impressed. I love their Falafel so much that I had it 2-3 times a week during Lent and plan to keep having it frequently. The salad is so fresh and they use top quality ingredients. It's the first Falafel I ever had that pops some heat and I am obsessed!
Positives:
Friendly on the phone.
Fast Free delivery.
Great Hummus.
Good Gyros.
Spicy Falafel.
Negatives:
Not a fan of their tzatziki. Super thick sour cream consistency, lacks fresh cucumber.
Greek Salad is one of the worst I've had. Wilted iceberg lettuce, miniscule crumbles of feta. The Greek salad a couple blocks away at The Laurel Diner blows Abe's away.
Bottom Line:
Good for a fast, affordable meal….but it won't knock your socks off.
Great Med/Middle East fast food!
Had the Gyros on pita with Abe's special sauce, including Taziki, onion and hummus. Had to add a side of felafel balls. Those were spicy balls! All good to great.
The girl behind the counter was wearing a HAFTR tee-shirt. My mom worked there as a guidance counselor 15 years ago.
Delish meal on a busy Friday night in Long Beach!
