Hendersonville and Flat Rock residents looking for a meal with a Middle Eastern flair have a new place to dine. Pita Express, owned by Mohamid and Lina Abuadas,
opened Friday in the location of the former Doughboy's Donuts on Greenville Highway. The couple operated the cafeteria at Blue Ridge Community College for 10 years.
When the lease ended at BRCC, they began to look around for a place to open an eatery featuring Middle Eastern fare, said Mohamid Abuadas. The couple, who have lived
in Hendersonville for 20 years, also run Lina's Subs, a sandwich shop at Smiley's Flea Market in Fletcher. "We had been looking for a place to open for a long time,"
he said Wednesday. "We thought people would like full-scale dining in an Middle Eastern restaurant. People love the food."
Pita Express offers a taste of the Mediterranean
through a variety of dishes on its menu. Everything is prepared from scratch using fresh produce and meats, Abuadas said. The restaurant gets its pita bread from a bakery in
Greenville, S.C., but there are plans to eventually bake the bread on site. There are several dishes featuring hummus (fresh boiled chick peas, tahini sauce and lemon juice)
and falafel (a fried ball or patty made from spiced chickpeas and/or fava beans). Falafel is a popular form of street food or fast food in the Middle East.
