KoPita Authentic Mediterranean

“Kopita is a real gem in Knoxville! Food was amazing, great ambiance, & service. Specific call outs on the beer salad, baba ganoush & chicken shawarma- wow. This will be our 1st stop when we return. Thank you!”

“Absolutely INCREDIBLE food. I've never had better lamb. Portions are generous and presentation is beautiful. Pita was flavorful and soft, salads were beautiful and fresh, rice was tender, and the beef and lamb skewers were perfectly seasoned. Everything was SO good. There are currently no drink offerings, but we noted other diners step to the bar and get drinks. Chilled water was on the table.”

“Love this place! The chef and staff are wonderful. We are regular downtown Knoxville residents and this is one of our top best cuisine experiences. They serve authentic Mediterranean cuisine, with dishes change based on seasons outstanding ingredients. Don’t miss the chef’s special, always a great experience. The photos show the range of dishes. From salads, sides, and meats. The staff is always interested in making sure you’re satisfied.”

“I’ve never tried earlier such a mouthwatering falafel! It was just wow! So yummy! Humus was perfect, Moroccan tea is always nice to feel the spirit of Mediterranean cuisine! One love and I will visit it again soon to try other dishes!❤️ And the most important thing is it’s halal and kosher food! Respect!”

“Absolutely avoid. The responses on reviews lead me to believe the owner is a mean man who asks friends to 5 star the place because how? Every low star review is credible and mirrors our experience. No parking in any garages due to events and this place has maybe 6 people in it. We waited to be seated because no one was in sight and it turns out only 1 person was actively working. Continued to sit for another 10 minutes before the bartender separated herself from the one customer she had to inform us all drinks were separate purchases through her. Then when we finally saw a second employee he couldn’t tell us ANYTHING listed on the menu that was missing half of what was listed online. My husband asked for the butchers cut of lamb and was met with “that didn’t exist. Do you want lamb chop or shank?” Then I asked for the spiced chicken plate on the menu and got “what do you want? The baby chicken or what?” While this all happened, 7 people piled up to wait to be seated. Between this experience and the reviews, we chose to leave before we ended up with a meal that was way too expensive that sat on an expo window to get cold because no one could be bothered. Absolutely avoid and spend your money at Yassins.”
