Welcome to Famous Pita — A Brooklyn Classic Since 1988

Founded by Baruch Tanami in 1988 on Coney Island Avenue, Famous Pita quickly became a beloved destination for authentic shawarma and falafel, earning a reputation for bold Middle Eastern flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality. For decades, generations of Brooklynites gathered to enjoy the family-run restaurant’s vibrant, delicious dishes.

Today, Famous Pita is proud to bring that same tradition and taste to Queens at our new location inside Aron’s Kissena Farms supermarket. Here, you’ll find our signature shawarma, crispy falafel, and freshly baked pita — all prepared with the passion and quality that have made Famous Pita a favorite for over 35 years.
