We used to think that fast food is somethingsecond-rate, fat and poor quality. More precisely, fans of a healthy lifestyle promote a similar idea. But even the inveterate HLS will decide to reconsider their view of similar food if they visit Pitas in St. Petersburg.
The concept of the institution
Three young men decided to refine the ideastreet food. Indeed, who does not like, for example, shaverma? Tasty, but the conditions in which it is sometimes cooked, you can watch, only squinting. And the crazy sauces of mayonnaise and garlic, which she watered?
Почему бы не доработать рецепты, добавив к этому simple and clean interior? No sooner said than done. So it appeared in St. Petersburg Pitas. To design the idea, the co-founders went on a trip to Scandinavia, took over the experience there. Thus, the concept of street food in the European version was formed, the main dishes were appointed shaverma, burrito and falafel.
In this cafe you will not find designerfixtures, the interior is simple and concise. There is no restaurant abundance in the menu: the three main dishes are complemented by desserts, salads, soups and drinks, including alcoholic ones. But you will find strange, but tasty combinations of products in dishes according to the recipes of Alexander Berkovsky - the brand-chef of the establishment - polite service, cleanliness and reasonable prices.
What is treated in a cafe?
Guests are offered 10 types of schaverma.Only from the names already played a serious appetite. Just imagine: with lingonberry sauce and mint, with lecho and potatoes, in Thai style with chicken in batter, fresh vegetables and spicy sauce. In sauces there is practically no mayonnaise, they are made mainly on the basis of sour cream, a minimum amount of garlic is added.
Next, 4 types of falafel. An important nuance: it is not deep-fried, but baked in the oven without oil, which makes the dish not only softer and juicy, but also more healthy.
Guests warn that they love to add chili peppers to their food here, especially in burritos, which are also 4 species here. One already by its name warns about the urgency - El Diablo.
For dessert, there is also shawarma: with banana in caramel, with peanut paste and raspberry jam, with nutella and peanut, with ice cream. From "not shawarma" ice cream and orange cake.
From drinks in Pitas (St. Petersburg) offertraditional tea, coffee, soda, as well as fruit drinks and lemonades, including hot. There are also alcohol: beer, cider, tinctures, two types of wine and a small list of strong alcohol.
