Beyond the reviews, the good proof is in the pudding. Tucked in a strip plaza on Walkers Line and New St. We heard a lot of buzz about this small place and tried to check the out.

Owners tells us that Zesty Pita is one of the very few Halal restaurant in Burlington. Fresh Halal chicken and Burger meat is delivered to Zesty Pita restaurant in Burlington regularly throughout the week. They take the chicken and season it and then leave it overnight to marinate in their specialty Mediterranean sauces. They then take chicken Shawarma piece by piece and we mounted them on a vertical grill. The chicken is stacked one layer over another until all chicken pieces are stacked together. The stacking is done by pushing them through a stainless steel vertical skewer. The Skewer is then mounted over a Shawarma machine and spins over the vertical grill.
During the slow cooking process, the chicken shawarma is grilled in slow spinning motion. The slow grilling spin allows the chicken to further soak the marination and sears the meat to perfection. When served, you will see that the chicken shawarma develops a crunchy layer on the outside. Still, chicken stays moist and tender in the layers below. The process also allows for all the fat and any excess sauces to drain down to the base of the vertical spit.
As a Mediterranean restaurant that also provide Middle Eastern Halal food, Zesty Pita is now ranked the best value, quality and service driven on our list in the whole Halton Region Ontario. Read More
