Dining
PITA COAST
Shawarma and falafel wraps explode with aromatic spice, paired with creamy hummus and warm pita. Hibiscus soda adds a bright counterpoint to the greasy-sweet balance. Outdoor campus seating keeps the scene friendly and unpretentious, even as lines swell in peak season. Value is real, with generous portions and affordable prices, making calories count.
