I live across the street and I've ordered here a few times. I'm giving a low review because just I'm really over it. We always get chicken or beef schwarma when we order-- but the taste/appearance of the food is never consistent with them. Sometimes the to-go container is loaded & sometimes it's skimpy at best. Sometimes the beef has flavor and other times it's so dry that it tastes like beef jerky. I don't know if they've gone through a bunch of different cooks over the last year but it's gotten to the point where we don't know if it's going to be an enjoyable meal or not (even though we always get the same two things). The second reason why I'm giving a poor review is because the older lady who works here is SOOOOO RUDE. I have never complained or raised a fuss with this restaurant ever -- but I'm coming to Yelp to vent because I think she needs to retire or get a job that is far away from customer-facing. She's just super cold and acts like she's holier-than-thou. I'm going to the other Kebab place in town from now on. read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch and got a great lunch special for $8. I got the vegetarian plate with hummus, falafel, fattoush salad and cabbage salad. It also came with a pita. It was one of three daily lunch specials. Service was fast and the place was very clean. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. read more

Actually ate wings from Zabiha Halal as they share the kitchen with Pita BBQ and OMG it is good. The most flavorful wings you will ever eat. Such a great experience. We will be back! read more

First time trying this place yesterday, overall great food. I ordered the combination plate and it was so good, the meats were seasoned and cooked nicely. The staff was very nice and it didn't take long to wait for my food. I would highly recommend coming here! One thing I would complain about is there's a lot of onions also only got one slice of pita bread. read more

The food at pita BBQ is excellent! Very fresh, large portions, great value, and the mixed shawarma plate is enough for two meals. I love the fresh cut fries. Thank you. read more

Flavor good but the rap was wrapped and like a flower tortilla and it was so messy I couldn't even eat it. So disappointed.

They have good food here, the service is also good, and they now have two tables to place orders. It's just a super busy area, and it's hard to find suitable parking when I go there. read more

Great place. The kabobs (both the chicken and beef) were freshly made and juicy. They were quite flexible and let me substitute the rice for humus. Would recommend. read more

With everything going on in the past few months, I've been ordering DoorDash pretty regularly. My daughter and I ordered 2 combination plates, some hummus with extra naan, and 2 cokes. The bag even clearly says coke with the quantity of 2. Unfortunately there was only one in the bag. The chicken and beef shawarma, rice, and falafel are delicious. So is the naan and hummus. The flavor and quality are definitely there. But you can't be forgetting someone's drink. If it wasn't for the missing drink, it would have been 4 stars. I will not be ordering again because if your quality control allows there to be a missing drink, I imagine it allows other items to be missing at other times. read more

Explosion of flavor in their tandoori chicken (sandwich) and spicy chicken plate. The spicy chicken had just the right amount of spice which was just perfect. It's cooked like a stew or some sort. Definitely need the salad and hummus to break up the taste. The plate came with 2 sides. The burger did not come with any sides. My friend has had the chicken shawarma from here and he said it wasn't that great so I'm very happy with my orders =). My only gripe (since I'm the worlds biggest complainer) is that the service could've been faster. There was only 1 person taking the order, cooking, and serving. Oh well. Enjoy! read more

Knew this spot was visited by Chicago's Best a few years back...decided to give it a shot during lunch. Must say they were very informative and let me know which direction I should go for lunch. Chose Beef Shawarma... did not disappoint made sure it was spicy and that's how I rolled. Looking forward to trying other if their delicacies in the near future...Mangia & Cheers! read more

Restaurant update I ended up here grabbing a quick lunch last week and was surprised they did away with the lunch special menu. So they don't have the super delux lunch for 6.95. I still ended up selecting the combo grill which had a little of everything. For 12 dollars it is slightly over priced for lunch. I am perplexed why the chicken kabobs came as slices of chicken and some of the shwarma was slightly overcooked and chewy. I think I will have to look elsewhere for Mediterranean food as the quality is slightly down from before. I guess all good things come to an end... read more

Eh I used to like this place but has definitely gone downhill. Ordered to eat in and was given to go. No silverware no napkins. The guy who worked there wasn't very friendly or helpful. They didn't have basic things like ketchup. they haven't taken down their mask sign even though the mandate has been lifted and it's ironic because the place seemed kind of dirty. read more

So the next small business food joint I tried today was Pita BBQ in Streamwood. I ordered the combination feast that had chicken & beef shawarma,falafel,Basmati Rice, salad & Pita bread all for $12.95. I also ordered a side of Hummus for $3.50. Let's just say if you get this meal you better be hungry because they give you a lot of food. Meat & Rice were seasoned-well & the two pieces of pita bread were piping hot & fresh. The hummus just added to the already incredible meal I was enjoying , smooth & creamy. The man who greeted me at the door was very nice & thanked me for supporting his small business. I will definitely be back to try some more of their delicious food. read more

Pita BBQ has AMAZING food! If you are looking for great shawarma, look no further. The workers are all friendly and I've only ever gotten good service. The restaurant is comfortable to eat inside of, catchy music and nice decor. Definitely worth checking out read more

I had never had Mediterranean food. I got the rib-eye plate and I ordered a lot of food to take for a family gathering. The rice was good the salad very good. I wished there was a bigger meat portion. The taste of the food was good and I enjoyed it. The price of the food is not so bad and they have good deals. Very nice people working there. read more

Don't let looks fool you! Huge portions spicy garlic fries sauces were epic. Definitely worth it

I used to love this place. Not anymore!!! They recently got super cheap on the portions. I ordered 3 chicken shararma plates and paid $43.00. We are all still hungry. You can get MORE than twice the food at Pita Inn for the same price. Save your money. read more

Wow! Let me say, I have tried so many different Middle Eastern restaurants and this is one of the best ones I have tried so far! I usually have sauce on everything and I completely forgot to put the garlic sauce and hot sauce that was included with my meal onto my vegetarian platter because it was that good! The service was amazing and there are such kind people who work there, you can absolutely tell a family environment when you feel one. Thank you so much for a delicious lunch we will be back! Ps. Best falafel ever!! read more

Pita BBQ is still the best Middle Eastern spot near the Bartlett/Streamwood area. The chicken sherwarma and chili chicken are soooo tasty! If you are vegetation, the Hummus is amazing and not like any Hummus elsewhere along with great falafels. If you never been here, it's a must try. Great food and friendly service. read more

Went here based on reviews and pictures on this site. Food didn't look that good in person and was not nearly as good as the star rating suggests... 3 out of 10 maby... falafel were soggy and luke warm, the "wrap sandwich" that was pictured on this site was all crispy and toasted, but the one I got was on a cold, flour, generic brand, store bought, tortilla... and to top it off, I ordered 40+ bucks worth of food and they still charged me extra for 2 sauces I asked for at pickup... Nothing special, wouldn't recommend this place at all. Save your money... I'll definatly skip it going forward. read more

As other reviewers have stated, they are now serving all wraps in tortillas. The level of delusion (sorry to come off so strong, but it must be said) that has to go into this type of decision is great. Your restaurant is called Pita BBQ. Pita. BBQ. And now you don't serve pitas, but cheap tortillas with all of your once-amazing meals. You are not a Mexican restaurant or McDonald's. You should have better quality ingredients, and if you do, people will pay more to keep you afloat during these financially stressful times. The quality of the food here has gone down immensely since 2020. The same flavors that were once rich, complex, and unique in each meal are gone. Ingredients that are integral to your menu's success are missing. I used to think this place had the best falafel wrap I have ever had. Now it is no better than a fast-food restaurants'. I am a very disappointed patron. I used to frequent this place at least a few times a month. Please, your longterm customers want to support you. Bring back the full goodness of your menu and we will pay more to ensure you do well and offer the same level of quality. Otherwise I will not come here again; it is just not worth it. read more

Always get top notch quality and service with a smile and friendly conversation here. Today I had the lunch special with beef kifta kabob, chicken shawarma, basmati rice, pita, and Lebanese salad. I got the garlic sauce and the hot sauce. As usual, the food was plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this place. I have steered many people here and will continue to do so! read more

Pita BBQ - Said delicious meal. I am stuffed with happiness. - Barbeque Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

This place is awesome! I normally go to the location in South Elgin, but this one is right by my sister's, and every bit as good as the other location. Their food is fantastic and fresh, very flavorful and even crave worthy. I love the spicy chilli chicken and the cabbage coleslaw. They're often expanding the menu with new items and the staff is all super friendly and courteous. Been coming here for years and have never disappointed. Stop in and give them a try, I think you'll be satisfied and you'll be back. read more

Big and good plates. The place was really clean and everyone was really nice. The falafel were super good. Would of got 5/5 if the rice wasn't bland it tasted like white rice. read more

My husband and I walked in here on a quiet & rainy Sunday night after reading all the raving reviews. There was not a single soul in the place, until a worker popped seemingly out of nowhere to take our order. I ordered the chicken kafta wrap, and he ordered the beef kafta wrap, with an appetizer of hummus and pita bread. We also tried their garlic sauce, based on reviews. He loved his wrap, but mine was just "eh." After the first bite, the bottom was leaking all over the place, and the wrap itself didn't have much flavor. I will say that the hummus and pita bread were wonderful, and if I lived in the area, I would consider that my go-to hummus. Overall, I'd try it again, but probably something different this time. read more

Love it! Food is always great tastes fresh and great everytime. No long waits,Highly recommend!

This place used to be a 5 stars in my book. I always got their Veggie Feast. Recently however, they redid their menu and their quality really took a hit. Their hummus has become flavorless. They replaced 2 delicious authentic veggies sides - garlic-y baba ganoush and a minty side salad - with a very small portion of pickles, raw chopped onions, and tomatoes. That's it, these random burger toppings were literally the only vegetables in the veggie feast, and it made the whole plate much more bland. They did add french fries, but even these were somewhat bland and didn't add much flavor diversity to the plate considering it already comes with Pita Bread. I feel like they are moving away from being an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant and more towards a fast food restaurant. The food tastes like fast food now, it's less healthy and it's blander. I really hope they reverse some of these changes. Their falafel is still good though, but overall it was not worth the money for a plate, just buy the falafel. read more

Their spicy chili chicken wrap is dynamite! I've tried their beef and chicken schawarmas, and while they're good, the spicy chili chicken is what brings us back again and again. We've ordered it multiple times over the years. Everyone I introduced it to has loved it. My parents love it. My high school cousin has requested it again after trying. Fiance regularly says on random days that he's craving it. This location is leagues better than the South Elgin one, has friendly employees and never disappoints. One of the best eats in the suburbs. Plus, there's a Dairy Queen a few steps down x) read more

Starving!! I was convinced that I was starving and started to drive northbound on Route 59 from Bartlett. I couldn't even think of something that sounded good until I thought of Pita House....wait, I know this review is for Pita BBQ but you'll understand why I mention this in a moment. See, I really should belong to a support group for people who love Pita House. I have realized that I have a problem...that's the first step right? Anyhow, I was going to drive to Schaumburg when I realized that Pita BBQ was moments away and I'd never tried it before. That was all about to change. I pulled in the parking lot and wandered inside. The owner greeted me warmly and finished helping the gentleman in line before me. Once it was my turn, I realized that this was very similar in style to my beloved PH. The owner talked me through the menu and I quickly decided to get a combination plate to go. (My hubby was very happy to split dinner with me!) The wait wasn't too bad. I took the time to enjoy the clean space and the friendly staff. I was hoping to grab a carryout menu, but they were all out. Once I got our food home, I couldn't help but compare everything to PH. My hubby did the same. Here's what we decided... Pita bread: Pita BBQ wins. The pitas were fresh and served warm. Plus, the owner threw in an extra at no charge. Rice: It's a draw. Pita BBQ has a fine rice which has a nice flavor and kept me coming back for more. PH has a different texture and style of grain. Both are yummy. Chicken: Pita BBQ wins this one. There were two types of chicken in the combo. Both were seasoned really well and juicy! Kefta Kabob (or something very similar): PH takes this one. Pita BBQ had a long ground beef item that looked like Kefta kabob. I think they call it something else though. I didn't love the seasoning unfortunately. Hummus: PH gets this one too. The owner was kind enough to swap salad for hummus. But, I didn't love it. I didn't eat more than a couple bites before I decided to skip it. :-( I was disappointed. So, in summary, Pita BBQ has some really tasty options and I am happy they are close to home. I think some things are just a matter of unique preference and I will gladly visit them again for their quality food. read more

What a great find my dad and I made today! :) Pita BBQ was delicious. I don't really know how BBQ figured, but oh well. My dad really enjoyed his hummus and pita. I snuck some and loved the hummus - the olive oil especially was delicious. My shwarma wrap was also good, though it fell apart a bit (I used a fork and knife, though I probably could have pressed on otherwise). The chicken shwarma was not as thinly sliced as usual, but it was juicier than most chicken shwarma is! The sauces were delicious, and I love the options they give you for meat, toppings, and such. Decently clean bathrooms too, as well as a very clean dining area! read more

Ordered takeout. When I got home I noticed I was given an old salad. Lettuce leaves where wilted and brown. Called them and the guy told me it was fresh. Smh. Doesn't take a scientist to figure out brown leaves make an old salad . Lost my business . read more

I would like to give this place four stars and I will certainly be visiting again, eager to up my rating. There were just a few things that didn't fit to par with a 4 star review. So, in all fairness 3 for now. I grew up in Montreal and am used some pretty yummy Mediterranean food. (big juicy not over cooked shawarma, tasty salad with a house dressing, garlic potatoes, tasty rice pilaf style and a delicious thick and fluffy garlic sauce. The hunt for a replica of this sauce continues!) After reading the reviews I was really optimistic, but Pita House BBQ fell a bit short of my expectations. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate, which was tasty but the chicken was over cooked. We ordered lentil soup because my daughter loves it, but unfortunately it's only sold seasonally. We ordered her some falafel and fries instead, but they didn't have fries... We got the falafel, but they were burnt to a crisp on the outside. :( We would have asked for another order but we overheard them complaining about a problem with the oil, so we didn't bother. Our toddler happily ate the inside of the falafel and had some rice, but they ran out of spoons, so she had to make do with a plastic fork. She can use forks at home but the plastic disposable kind tend to be on the sharper/pointier side so we had to keep an extra eye out on her. They did give us a complimentary chocolate covered baklava. Which was a pleasant surprise and it was quite good. The food was overall pretty tasty and the rice and chicken mixed with their garlic and hot sauce was really, really good! The workers were very friendly and apologetic about the lacking spoons. It was just a bad night. Looking forward to my next visit and my next review. read more

Pita BBQ - Chicken shawarma amazing. Beef shawarma not so amazing. Need some sauce bottles or something. Those caps won't do. - Barbeque Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

We visit this Pita BBQ regularly since it's close to home, both to dine in and for take out. But we had always ordered the chicken shawarma or gyros and hadn't explored beyond that. That is until I read Andrew J's review and we took his suggestions of trying the Spicy Chili Chicken Wrap & the Tandoori Chicken Burger. Both were very good, especially the Spicy Chili Chicken Wrap (definitely ask for some rice in it to absorb the sauce, and it's spicy but not really hot/heat-spicy, at least not to us). So glad we gave those items a try! The food is generally ready after a short wait and the service has improved from years ago when they first opened. Their platters comes with a lot of food, too so unless you have a huge appetite or are famished you might have leftovers from a platter as well (or sometimes the Hubs & I just share a platter). And their basmati rice is cooked perfectly! read more
