Great Food, Good service, mamahuhu atmosphere
The traditional hummus was amazing, the falafel was grand, and the baklava had a distinct taste, though different, it was quite good. The watermelon fresca martini wasn't spectacular, but it was decorated with a large piece of watermelon, so I give them props for that. My friends tried the baba ganoush, the mozzarella, tomato, pesto pita panini(I had a bite, though not really greek, it was divine anyway), and the mushroom hummus and gave a thumbs up on them all. However, the mushroom hummus was just traditional hummus with some cooked mushrooms stuck in the middle, though tasty, it wasn't what I expected (like ground mushroom in the hummus). Now the pita bread, while definitely still curbing my craving, wasn't amazing. It was pocket pita bread, fluffy, but not the traditional heavy pita bread I was hoping for. Though they did warm every piece before serving it, so that was nice. On a downside they didn't have dolmas, but on the other hand they had quite a lot of other things to try.
As far as the atmosphere goes, I felt like I was eating at a juice bar or bistro of some sort, and not a Greek/mediteranian place. It was really clean and bright though with modern decor. I'd say it's a good place for lunch or a casual dinner with friends, but definitely not a date spot. Price wise it wasn't too bad. The falafel and hummus sandwich was only RMB28. That plus hummus and pita and baklava, I'm still SO full three hours later. For three of us at dinner, with three appetizers, three entrees, three drinks, extra pita bread and one desert, it was a total of RMB268.
The service was pretty good, they spoke pretty decent English and they take foreign credit cards. Oh and it's quite easy to find. Go between American Apparel and the Subway Sandwich place next to China doll. When you hit the bar alley it'll be on the corner on your left, upstairs above the Kebab place but below Blu Bar.
Overall I'd definitely go back and I think you should give it a try.

Biteapitta is an Israeli restaurant, no Greek at all. Their mushroom hummus, pita bread and other stuff is Israeli style, not Greek, or Arabic(Syrian or Lebanese, or Palestinian) , or Turkish. If you are from the region, you must know there is a difference. All these countries have kind of a similar cuisine but there are a lot of differences too.
