But what is the real reason Pita Land became famous within Kamloops? Have you ever heard of the term halal?
What is Halal?
The Arabic word halal refers to the process of preparing food in according to the Islamic dietary laws and regulations. It involves cutting meat in a certain way. Muslims (people who follow the religion of Islam) cannot eat meat unless it is halal. Pita Land gives the Muslim community in Kamloops another halal option, which is why it’s become so popular.
Pita Land is most famous for their signature shawarma wraps. From the word “Pita”, which means round baked flatbread that can be formed as a pocket with fillings, a shawarma wrap is made of pita and delicious inner fillings, which the Middle East cuisine is known for.

At Pita Land, wraps are done in front of you. It’s not like other restaurants, where the wraps are made and prepared beforehand. You get to see for yourself that the beef and chicken are made fresh on the spot, and the best part is you get the chance to customize the condiments you want for the wrap! The wraps come with a variety of ingredients; you could choose many flavorful fillings you want to pair with your wrap.

An important thing that is not known to most people is that middle eastern cuisine is one of the healthiest since it incorporates lean proteins, healthy fats, vegetables, and grains into almost every dish. It’s the perfect dinner!
Additional Information About Pita Land
An important thing that is not known by most people is that middle eastern cuisine is one of the healthiest kinds of foods, as it incorporates lean proteins, healthy fats, vegetables, and grains into almost every dish. It is a rich source of vitamin B6 and other essential nutrients (i.e., manganese). One may also use these qualities to their benefit; for example, a person who may be trying to gain weight could eat one of the Pitaboxes available in Pita Land. It has around 1100-1200 Kcal, almost 50% of the RDI (Reference Daily Intake). It has the perfect balance of protein, carbs, and fats. On the other hand, considering people who are looking to lose weight or are just conscious of their calory intake, they could try Pita land’s salad boxes. These lack the “carb” element in the meal, which is perfect for many people who are looking for a healthier option.
