Who’d have thought that the best place to eat on Maui would be called "Pita Paradise?" This tiny, easily overlooked restaurant in the Kihei Kalama Village is a gem. Recommended by the concierge at a resort, this little Greek restaurant is run by Christine and John Arabatzis. Hands-on owners, John catches the fish fresh every morning, and Christine was our server for the evening.
Clean, friendly, and delicious food—what more could you ask for? Be sure to order an appetizer of ziziki bread, a grilled pita with a blend of cheese and herbs. My Greek salad topped with ziziki sauce was a wonderful change of pace. Others at the table enjoyed the kabobs with vegetables and rice. My husband tried the special of the evening, the seared ahi, and pronounced the tender dish the best meal he'd had the whole trip.
This restaurant is an unexpected delight!
