Clara experienced her 1st Mediterranean meal and is hooked!!
Dre' M.

1st time customer. I took my mother-in-law out for lunch and yelped Mediterranean food as she has never had it before. Pulling up we noticed the very nice outdoor seating area. The smells coming out of the restaurant were leading us inside. The order area was quite crowded as there was a constant line of customers coming and going with the flow of orders. There was a slight mix up with our orders as the front register person gave us the wrong order number which caused the cooks some confusion. Regardless we both ordered the Business Special / chicken breast platter w/ Rice and side salad. Wow!! She was blown away for her 1st experience with this cuisine and is instantly hooked. So thank you guys for the great job of executing a great plate. BTW the cooks were all Mexican but not surprised since this is in the Chicago city limits.

Pita and tahini included with shwarma
MaryDan H.

They do shawarma right. We tried both the chicken and beef shawarmas and highly recommend them both. We upgraded one of the salads and really felt the upgrade was well worth the cost. We had them deliver via Door Dash, and were very impressed with the fast delivery our meals. We appreciated how well Pita Inn secured our meals for delivery. Great experience!

Very clean restaurant. Friendly, helpful staff! Excellent lunch specials. Delicious food. Great drink selection! Mint tea mixed with mango!

First time here for lunch -- the sandwiches and fries were excellent! I'm a fan of the chicken shawarma platter and getting it in lunch size in a pita was great. Fairly priced with and served with their great spicy and yogurt sauces. The fries were crispy and In a solid portion.

Falafel Sandwich, and small hummus
Anne Marie H.

I was happy to see there was no line on Memorial Day at lunchtime. In fact, I was thrilled they were even open! (They are actually open 365 days a year, I found out.) The gentleman at the counter was friendly, patient, and helpful. It had been a while since I ate at Pita Inn, so I had to take a minute to decide what to order. I chose the falafel sandwich and asked if the tahini had dairy. I was told yes, it does, but that they also have a vegan tahini. Additionally, I ordered a small hummus, which comes with pita bread. It took about 5-ish minutes for the food to be prepared, then I found a table in their clean and bright dining room. I enjoyed listening to the music while I ate; it made me feel more immersed in the culture. The food was delicious, and I liked that they sprinkled paprika and oil on top of the hummus. The pita was warm and fresh, and the falafel was perfectly seasoned! After lunch, I ordered baklava to-go, which does not contain dairy (woo hoo!). Even though it tasted good, I felt it was a bit dry... perhaps a little more honey would have done the trick. During my experience at Pita Inn, I was reminded of how much I love this place (especially this location), and am looking forward to returning again soon!

Chicken Shawarma Entree

Last week ordered a chicken shawarma plate for take out. I brought it back home and was shocked on how little chicken there was compared to the pile of rice, it was basically all rice. I come here often and never usually have problems (I dine in). But for 16 bucks it was not worth at all. I don't know what was going on this time around they usually do a great job.

Vegetarian Combination (no Jerusalem Salad, sub lettuce/tomato salad)
Sydney H.

So much food, for such little price! Pita Inn did not disappoint. My vegetarian combo plate came with 2 pitas along with my big tray of food. The falafel was perfectly soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The tabouli salad was soooo fresh and I loved the roasted eggplant flavor of the baba ghannoug. We ordered at the counter when we got there & our food was ready in less in less than 10 minutes - super quick! Great place for take out.

Vegetarian Combination
Karyn M.

Yes, another win, for Pita Inn. We ordered for delivery, but all was still hot and fragrant when it arrived at our door. Piles of pita, creamy hummus, tangy dolmades, fluffy rice pilaf and tasty kefteh and shawarma. Amazing garlicky sauce, nutty tahini and spicy red sauce. All was packed nicely and secure, and delivered in a timely manner. We're all in for Pita Inn.

Anthony P.

This place hit the spot! I loved the portions, the flavors, family environment and sauces!!! This was my first time and it did not disappoint. Seems family owned so the service is warm and comforting. This is definitely being added to my Chicago food list when I am back in town.

I love Mediterranean food and it's difficult to find a good place. Pita Inn is my go to place when I crave for a good chicken shawarma & falafel sandwich. This location is always hustling. Everything is fresh and their staff is always helpful when there are any questions. The process begins with placing your order at the front counter, receive a number ticket, find a table, and wait for your number to be called on to pick up at the pick up counter. There is plenty of inside seating and when the weather is nice, guests can enjoy outdoor seating. We ordered Chicken Shawarma, falafels, Chicken Tender Entree, Extra Pitas, and Chicken Fatoush Salad. Overall value was on point for the amount of food we received. I highly recommend this place.

Shish kabob sandwich
Mark Y.

Busy, crowded place with great prices. Mexican drinks and ice cream are featured along with Mediterranean fare, that's interesting. I ordered a Shish Kabob sandwich for 6.99. Marinated beef, lettuce, tomato in a pita with hot sauce and a creamy sauce. That's a lot of good food for seven bucks. Good food, great value. Staff is friendly and efficient and your food comes up fast. Four and a half stars, rounded up.

Do you make your dürüm in-house to order?

They do make it in house.

How are the catering portion sizes? The menus look fantastic with a wide variety of foods, but if I order for exactly how many guests I will have, will it be too much food?

I agree with James as he mentioned they are very generous with their portion sizes and we have actually catered thru them on many occasions. The restaurant will actually suggest based on how many people in your party what the correct order size is.… Read more

There is not a bad choice on the menu here. I always get the Lula plate. When it's described on the menu that it is cooked to perfection, I can honestly say that's not exaggeration. The mushroom, rice, pilaf and cabbage salad is always such a great combo with any of your proteins. We always give baba ganoush with the dish because we end up ordering a large hummus on the side just for leftovers at home because they're homemade. Hummus is so good and better than any other store we've ever purchased from. The combo plate is such a great choice if you're splitting amongst two people and want to get some baklava and hummus on the side or a different type of appetizer. Or if you just want variety the, plate is amazing. I could not recommend this place enough! If you haven't tried Siunik please stop in! Or order it to go.

Warmed pitas were seasoned well and texture was fluffy but not too soft where it wasn't able to hold its shape. I could have the sweet potatoes latkes everyday! The lamb ragu hummus and short rib were good but we found the actual protein was a bit dry and flavor subdue compared to their accompaniments. The spicy brisket kabobs were good but we were stuff so we had to slow our roll. The Date cake was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness for those both sweet lovers and non lovers! 10/10 recommend.

There's lots of exciting food options on the route, and I did question myself on if this was worth the effort... it was. Small place, but that just fine. The first thing I noticed as I walked in was the smell, oh what a fabulous scent! Meat and complex spices. No other nonsense, no air freshener, no cleaning supply smell, no candles, just the smell of exactly what your here for. The cones of meat are spinning right in front of you behind the counter. What a beautiful sight. I ordered the lunch special #1. It comes with chicken shawarma, chicken kabob, kefta kabob, rice, salad, pita, and a falafel. Less than 12 bucks! Available from 12 to 3 pm, this is a great value. I'll get the negative out of the way here, I didn't care for the chicken kabob. It just felt over done, but good flavor. Also, the pita was a very generic and dry pita. Likely store bought. Not a huge deal but if pita is in your name I expect a decent one. The shawarma was spot on perfect. I've had my fair share of shawarma at this point and I'd put this up near the top, especially on the local scene. The kefta was my favorite part of the plate, the spices really show up and stand out. Perfect cook as well. The rice was nice with some citrus flavor that balanced the plate out. The salad was very basic but tasted fresh. A special mention for their spicy red sauce. THIS. This is the red sauce I always want but no one does it this well. Just the perfect heat level, at the very tip of my tolerance, with plenty of flavor to back up the spice. This is the best red sauce I think I've had period. I usually love the white sauce but catch me here sweating with a smile on my face and red sauce on everything.

Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.

Crispy eggplant- another recommended app which was delicious and sweet Lamb kurdock- I didn't love this dish it was kind of dry and lacking in flavor but huge with lots of potatoes and veggies Combo skewers- so much meat that was all very tender and flavorful, though it came on one thin soggy tortilla. It would have been nice to have more tortillas on the side to make a wrap. I also tried the chicken tabaka, and this was delicious with a curry flavor. Overall, most dishes were so delicious, but it was a bit of a learning curve on how to order and what to expect.
