The foundation of the burger has been manipulated and recreated in a million different ways since its inception. Thousands of toppings have been placed upon the surfaces of big beef patties sizzling on fiery grills and between two buns. However, some burger styles, despite being delicious, are busting at the seams with calories and fats, and may not be the smartest choice for the health conscious consumer. Luckily, the essence of the burger knows no limits, and its very makeup can be altered into entirely different compositions. At Pita Jungle, healthy burgers are no longer just possibilities—they are realities.

At Pita Jungle, our expertise in Mediterranean cuisine has helped us craft burgers that stay in line with health-minded ideals. Instead of beef, we use ingredients that redefine what people traditionally know as burgers.

• One example of this is our Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger, which uses a portobello mushroom as the filling between a whole grain bun. Instead of mayonnaise and mustard, it is topped with a roasted bell pepper and mixed greens.
• Another example is our Chipotle Black Bean Burger, which has a patty made entirely out of black beans, onions, garlic, cilantro, bell peppers, carrots, oats, cranberries, jalapeno peppers and chipotle peppers.
• And, our Broiled Fish Sandwich offers a big helping of wood-fired Mahi Mahi rather than a slab of ground beef.

Eating a burger is often a big occasion for people and their waistlines, but savory tastes don’t always have to come at the price of counting calories and watching your weight. We embrace these considerations as part of the foundation of our menu, looking to the Mediterranean diet for inspiration for new, healthy recreations of traditional favorites. Our healthy burgers are chock-full of essential nutrients and vitamins that our help customers maintain a balanced diet. These burgers also come with healthy side dishes like garlic new potatoes, which are baked with rosemary and garlic and served as delicious alternative to french fries.

Pita Jungle’s unique approach to restaurant food eschews everything that most customers know. We aim to create different tastes and recipes that will stay with our customers long after they clean their plates, and our healthy burgers are fine examples of these values.
