I think I came on day 2 of this location being open. Even so, I thought this place had some pretty…read moretasty food. While not perfect, I think this was an excellent addition to downtown Evanston. I kind of wished there was more of an explanation of how to order. It looks like there is a plate, a sandwich, or a salad version. I guess it's kind of Chipotle style, but I was curious on what the sandwich would entail. I just went with the plate as it seemed like the most simple and if there was something I didn't like, I could just skip it. Here's what I had: Hummus: Excellent and a decent portion. I wish it came with a full pita instead of a half. Chickpea Salad: I hated the taste of it. I think it might have been me, but that was a miss for me Chicken with rice: Outstanding! The highlight of the plate. Cooked perfectly and served nice and hot. They offered to put on the hot sauce and I said "yes"! Whew, that's a spicy sauce! Loved it Add a $2 water and we are in business! The water was some kind of Icelandic brand which was a nice change from just Ice Mountain. As for price, everything cost me $15 which isn't bad for downtown Evanston. For the quality and portions I got, it worked! The only other downside is the place is a little small, but it's looking smaller with all the people in line right now. I really liked this place and o can see it going pretty well!

Yelp Review Very…read moredisappointed, especially since this was our first time here. We arrived around 12:00 PM, and there were only about three tables seated. Since we wanted to try several dishes, we politely asked if we could sit at a larger table. Unfortunately, our request was refused, even though there were plenty of larger tables available. As first-time customers, we expected a more welcoming experience. It was disappointing to feel like our request was inconvenient when the restaurant was barely busy. We ended up leaving with a very negative first impression.

Also want to note that they have really nice bathrooms!

This is a counter service restaurant where we place order at the counter and they bring out the food to the table. Regardless, great Mediterranean food experience!

They still sell bananas and local Middle Eastern cookies from Chicago bakeries for desesrt. The menu might have changed slightly, but fans of Pita X-Press will probably find their favorites. We ordered a vegetarian platter, which had baba ghanouj, hummus, two kinds of cucumber salad, four falafels, and a generous, freshly warmed pita. It was enough food for a light lunch for two. We enjoyed watching the cars pass under the Belvidere Oasis as we ate our food. So glad that this business is back.

Mohammed walked us through planning the food choices and while we didn't switch many things out - he mentioned that he was open to making changes with little to no charge. We had a pick up time of 11 am on a Sunday which 11 is the open time and I was very surprised that when I walked in, all of the food was ready on a cart to be brought to my car. All my guests were raving about the food saying it was great and we had so many left overs, majority of the guests got up to get "to go" boxes. I would definitely cater through Pita Inn again.

If they kept their original menu and didn't add a wrap would definitely got a five star rating. One of the amazing falafel sandwich of all times here. Taste minimalistic and simple. And very affordable. You can order online through the Uber Eats or DoorDash or the third-party. Or you can give them a call or you can come on in you can I'm in or you can do takeout.. The line does get long time to time, but it's worth it. And you do get your food really fast.. It does get loud and a little bit crazy, but it's perfectly fine and it's a very big spaces. The food is fantastic definitely come back and try it again.

A Hidden Gem in Chicago - Taste of Lebanon Restaurant…read more Taste of Lebanon Restaurant 1509 W Foster Ave Chicago, IL 60640 If you're looking for authentic Lebanese food, Taste of Lebanon is an absolute must-visit! Every meal we've had here has been fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can truly taste the quality and tradition in every bite. The lamb shawarma is outstanding--perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma is just as delicious, juicy, and cooked to perfection. But the true star of the menu is the lentil soup. It is hands down the best lentil soup I've ever had--rich, comforting, full of flavor, and worth coming back for on its own. It deserves to be the #1 item on the menu! What makes this place even more special is the amazing customer service. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, and professional, making every visit feel like you're dining with family. A huge shoutout to Ali, who consistently goes above and beyond to make every customer feel appreciated. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality are second to none. He takes the time to make sure everything is perfect, and his positive attitude truly elevates the entire dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch or picking up dinner, Taste of Lebanon never disappoints. The food is authentic, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend Taste of Lebanon to anyone in Chicago looking for some of the best Lebanese food in the city. Thank you, Ali and the entire team, for your outstanding hospitality. We'll definitely be back again and again!
