The vegan diet has risen from an alternative eating lifestyle to a staple throughout the world, with many people choosing to convert to its meat-free ways. As a result, more and more restaurants are offering vegan-minded items on their menu. But not all restaurants prepare vegan food in Newport Beach that wows their customers. Some just do the bare minimum to fill the quota. At Pita Jungle, a restaurant that makes vegan food in Newport Beach, vegans will be thrilled to find many specially prepared meals that fit the vegan palette and give their tastebuds an enriching jolt. Pita Jungle’s fresh, whole, made-from-scratch dishes are prepared with ingredients and recipes originating from the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Asia. All of this makes for a menu packed with healthy food that you won’t find anywhere else in Newport Beach.

Hummus, a spread made from mashed chickpeas with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic, can be served in a variety of ways at Pita Jungle without meat or dairy. The Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus, for example, is chickpea puree with roasted red bell peppers and tahini sauce, seasoned with fresh garlic and lemon juice. The Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus is chickpea puree with cilantro, jalapeño, and tahini sauce, seasoned with fresh garlic and lemon juice and topped with Pico de Gallo. For the main course, the Veggie Garden Wrap is a Pita Jungle powerhouse, filled with zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, yellow squash, carrots, onions, tomatoes, brown rice, mixed beans, ginger, herbs, and garlic. Our salads are also concocted with delightful elements for the hungry vegan, such as the Caribbean salad—a selection of seasonal fruits over mixed greens, topped with shredded coconut, raisins, and strawberry vinaigrette.
