The photographs of Omar Aldmour’s homeland, Jordan, that line the walls of The Pita Shop are a nod to the restaurant’s culinary inspiration, he said.
Aldmour and his wife, Susan Mutschlechner Aldmour, serve homemade falafel, pitas, gyros, hummus and other Mediterranean, Greek and Middle Eastern foods for lunch and dinner.
Aldmour and Mutschlechner Aldmour previously worked at downtown San Marcos’ Cedars Mediterranean Restaurant. Aldmour worked in the kitchen, where he learned to cook, and Mutschlechner Aldmour helped manage it.
Cedars was closed and torn down in March 2014 to make way for a seven-story multifamily development, in the same deal that ended Triple Crown’s reign over the downtown music scene.
