    Falafel plate and Chicken Kebab plate
    Tessa I.

    We've been coming back to eat at Pita Bbq for almost a year now. Their meals are always something we look forward to, we're lucky this is close to our place, we eat here at least once a week. I love their chicken kebab plate, very satisfying and healthy. The flavors of meat, rice and side dishes all go well together. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. This place just made renovations and it feels real homey. We love to eat Mediterranean food and Pita bbq is one of the best places we've been to. Highly recommended!

    The garlic sauce went really well with the spicy chili chicken wrap, which was phenomenal. The fries are a substantial serving, perfect for two people.

    Chicken shawarma bowl

    We found this place while searching for a lunch spot after visiting a local forest preserve. The interior is a mishmash of cultures. The floor was super sticky; gross. Service was friendly and pricing was fair. The menu is somewhat limited; for example, they don't have kufta kabob. We ordered samurai wings (which is rung up separately), and a mixed shawarma bowl. My wife enjoyed the wings. Unlike wings at some places, these weren't drenched in sugar sauce. The shawarma bowl had a nice mix of meat, rice, and veggies, but it was lacking in flavor. It just needed more seasoning to make it a delicious meal.

    Good food. Nothing less than the best. Absolutely satisfied. Would eat here everyday until I succumb to heart disease. This is THE SPOT.

    Loved the food, the portions and the homey ambiance. If you want comfort mediterranean food that's easy on the pocket but not on the portions then this is it.

    Combination Feast
    Brittany H.

    This food is insanely good! I've passed by this place many times but we finally decided to try it and we were very impressed! We placed an order over the phone and the person on the phone was very nice. We ordered the chicken shawarma plate, the combination feast, and the falafel wrap. The food was ready in 15 min on a Sunday night. I highly recommend ordering extra garlic sauce (I was scraping it out of the small cup it came in!!!). Everything was good and I will definitely be going back regularly now!!! 11/10 so good.

    Beef and chicken shawarma combination plate and they forgot the falafel.

    Customer service sucks, waiting at the counter for a while before someone took my order. Food is good even though they didn't put any falafel in the combination plate.

My husband ordered the chicken kebab meal for $11.99 and it came with a bottle of water or a can of soda. They don't have Fountain drinks here. The portion size was big and it was served in a Styrofoam container, even for dine in which was kind of sad because my food was beautifully plated. Not sure why his wasn't...? The falafel came with delicious pickles, two tahini, sauces, and some tomatoes. I think these are the best falafel I've ever had. They stayed together nicely and they were moist and delicious. I definitely recommend you try these. My soup was excellent. I love lentil soup and this one was seasoned well and the cup was a decent size. I love the pita bread here because it's very thin and holds up well when you make a sandwich. This is great for people who are watching their carb, but still want to have some bread. We had service with a smile and the lady who took our order, brought everything out to our table, and she was really kind and professional. You pay for the food when you order it. The menu seems to have a lot of great items so we'll be back again to try other things. I highly recommend you give this place a try and check out our photos of the menu as well as the videos of the food we ate!

I opted for the chicken shawarma plate, and it was great. Creamy hummus, a light/fresh salad, a good amount of perfectly cooked/seasoned rice, and the fresh shawarma chicken rounded out this great plate. It comes with pitas which was nice for making small sandwiches, and also came with an interesting hot sauce/garlic sauce. The price was fair around 12$, it came with a lot of food so I definitely got my moneys worth, and overall just pleased with the friendliness of the staff. Looking forward to coming back!

Their menu is loaded with all the popular items (kabobs, shawarmas, etc), so chose their chicken shawarma bowl. The lady helping ring me up explained how it was made and that sounded great, which was the garlic sauce (sort of like toom) was on the bottom with the rice on top, salad next and then the protein on top. So, this is what I ordered. It was made fresh and came out piping hot. The rice in the dish was bland and the chicken was slightly more flavorful, which means it was basically bland as well. The garlic sauce and the salad were the best two flavors on this dish and I tried to grab some of that in each bite. I wasn't too impressed with the flavors of the chicken shawarma at all, but then again I prefer flavorful and authentic food and can't stand when ethnic restaurants cater to "Americans" by making their food less spicy/authentic. The place was rather busy when I went and the dining room was kept clean. Service was friendly. I'd recommend this place to those who don't have high expectations for spice, rather are looking for a nice experience.

    Absolutely recommended with 5 stars!…read more I heard about this restaurant from TikTok as it is rated the #1 restaurant in Lake County, and now I see why! We stopped in for some lunch. We were greeted by owner Marlene, who is absolutely wonderful. We placed our order and got some fresh lemon water. I ordered the lunch special Chicken and Gyro plate, and he ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate. While we waited for the food, we chatted with Marlene, and we were given some baklava (love that stuff). My goodness, the aroma coming from my plate was so good. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were just right. He told Marlene that was not his first choice for food, but this meal changed his mind. The pitas and sauces were delicious as well. The presentation is nice, and portion sizes are large. I brought some home. I feel so bad because I forgot to tip, which is crazy for us. But, this just means we have to return soon and give a large tip. Don't skip trying this place. You won't be disappointed! Closed on Sunday, so plan accordingly.

We were surprised when we walked in and saw the colorful menus with lots of options. The staff greeted us immediately while we decided what to order. We split the chicken kabob plate, an order of falafel (which we watched being made!), and french fries. The chicken was outstanding, tender and very tasty. It came with basmati rice, which was equally delicious. The freshly made falafel was perhaps the best we've had, and even the french fries had a delicate flavor. The prices were very reasonable and the staff could not have been nicer. We will go out of our way to return, even though we live 20 miles away.

Even if I bothered to drive all the way back to argue about it they would've been closed so no recourse. Food tasted like it would've been good but was mostly very dry. I did come an hour before closing but I don't think that means I should've been served mummified food. No sauces were included with my combination plate, don't know if that's nonsense protocol or another oversight as with my missing baba ghanouj. Part of the combination plate includes Spicy Chili Chicken which looks good on their website, red and well seasoned. But what I got was pale, bland and completely devoid of any spiciness. It's almost like they make their food in an unauthentic way to cater to white folks cuz they don't think we can handle the flavor ‍ I've used shawarma marinade packets from Jewel that tasted better than whatever they use. Also their pita bread is pretty low quality, like the difference between Turano and Butternut bread. Funny since that's their namesake. Won't be returning or recommending.

The Groupon made a good meal even better because we were able to order 2 excellent meals for $20. PPMG has multiple locations all over Chicagoland. This one was in Palatine off of Dundee & 53.
