Their hummus was also quite good M'hammareh 4/5 - nice peppery/ slightly sweet dish. Went great with the pita Sumac fries 5/5 - loved them. Wish they gave it with some dip! Labneh 4/5 - my first time trying it. Simple, elegant, and yummy Overall, would recommend! We got takeout but want to check it out some time.

Garlic sauce, cheakpea based sauce and one spicy sauce I could not tell what it is made from. But all sauces were very good! The vegetables and chicken with the rice underneath and pita that came with all went well together. Huge portion so I was so full when I finished the plate. 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.

Now this is a real OASIS !…read more While coming back from Janesville, we stopped by this oasis to get something from Panda Express. The moment we walked in, the plane of Panda Express went down the drain as the first food stall was Pita X-press. Full fledge Mediterranean menu with onsite fresh shawarma, pita wraps, falafel were just irresistible. I went for #4 gyro with rice and salad. My friend had chicken, gyro and rice. They were happy to offer a range of sauces and add extra meat for free. It tasted fresh and delicious. The best part was enjoying the food on the benches right on the top of I-90, the real oasis experience. Courteous staff. Great food. Cheap gas lol. It may sound like guilty pleasure to go to an oasis in wilderness to enjoy Mediterranean food, but I am definitely going there again.

That man keeps that restaurant spotless. He works so hard, so fast, but does his work exquisitely. I hope owner can reward him in some way, that dude goes above and beyond. On top of that he is always pleasant, chatty and has a great relationship with many customers. 10/10 for brother Latif.

This place has all the staples you expect in Levant cuisine, and best of all, they do everything well! I love this place because it's no frills, inexpensive, quick, and SO GOOD. The hummus is fantastic, and the falafel is some of the best I've had, but my hands down favourite item is the Chicken Shwarma Wrap. That's the winner for me. The crew here was very accommodating with catering when we had a company event... and I watched a huge tray of wraps disappear in what seemed like minutes, so I can attest they were popular with our attendees. This place is truly are more than meets the eye.

I enjoyed my beef shawarma over baba ghanoush plate, ~$11 (it made quite a filling lunch!) although I would've loved if they'd thrown some pickled veg in there. The beef shawarma is a bit different from shawarma I've had elsewhere--almost ground beef-like in texture--but the flavor was pretty good. Their baba ghanoush is also creamier than others I've had, seems quite similar to their hummus, with a lot of tahini mixed in maybe? I didn't love their chicken shawarma wrap in the past, but that might be because I'm not that into their hot sauce. I'd love to get their veggie platter sometime! Service is friendly and quick.
