Open for about two weeks, Pita Uno (138 S. 11th St.) is serving up a small, straightforward Israeli menu (falafel, kebabs, pita sandwiches, hummus, soups) on a busy 11th Street strip that already caters to a high volume of Center Citizens and Jeffersonites. Owner Oriel Elbahary has been in Philly for about 13 years; he was formerly in the construction field and this is his first food venture in the States. (He did work in restaurants in his native Israel.) Though he's new to the biz here, Elbahary's already savvy enough not to give up any of the goods on family recipes, like the secret behind the kickin' hot sauce (more like a paste) that comes on the side of any plate by request. This isn't the only Pita Uno for Philly — he just got neighborhood approval for a second location at 4324 Main Street in Manayunk. Expect that one to launch in the first quarter of 2012.
The restaurant, which delivers to the immediate area, is open from 10 till about 6 every day but Saturday; closing time will extend to 9:30 p.m. soon.
