About

KoPita serves flavorful Mediterranean-Middle Eastern dishes with a strong vegan focus despite being an omnivore venue since early 2022. The atmosphere combines a casual yet refined dining experience with a pleasant balcony offering views of downtown Knoxville. Vegan diners will find generous portions of well-seasoned falafel, shawarma, hummus, and mezze platters, supported by attentive and knowledgeable staff.
