Welcome to Scottsdale Living on youtube. Here we talk with local leaders, businesses, restaurants, politicians and host our podcast, Scottsdale Living.
Bassel Osmani is the co-founder and owner of Pita Jungle. Currently residing in Scottsdale, Osmani is originally from Lons-Le-Saunier, France and was raised in Lebanon. He made his way to Arizona in 1985 to study Bioengineering at Arizona State University (ASU.) While at ASU, Osmani met Nelly Kohsok and Foud Khodr, two other international students, instantly becoming friends. After the three founders graduated college, they recognized the need for more healthy restaurants around ASU and set out to provide the solution. Thus, Pita Jungle was born. Over the past 30 years, Pita Jungle has grown from an idea between college friends to a Mediterranean cuisine empire. The three remain hands-on leaders at Pita Jungle, passionate about providing healthy, great tasting food that is easily accessible. Osmani enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, exploring other cuisines, and staying active with his hobbies of snowboarding and pickle ball.
