    I stopped at this Pita Inn for an early lunch. It was an enjoyable meal. I remember eating at this location about a dozen years ago. They still make excellent food. I ordered the shawarma sandwich, falafels, and a Fatoush salad. The order was ready in record time, and was delicious. The pita bread was nice and fresh, and well stuffed with meat, lettuce, and tomato. I loved the falafels, and of course, the sauces were divine. I'm not out this way much anymore, but this is still a 5 star experience for me.

    Kibbeh is great! Takes 15 minutes to make.

    We have been here a few years ago and remember that the food was great so we decided to stop in tonight because we were in the area. My husband ordered the combination platter and it was filling and delicious. I ordered the lentil soup and two falafel and one kibbeh. Not many restaurants serve kibbeh anymore... I was so excited to see it on the menu! It was delicious! The line was long but it moved very quickly. We will definitely be back again! The restaurant is large and very clean!

    Yesterday I came to pick up my order. I ordered through their website. Oddly enough my order was to the Glenview location not the one in wheeling. Thankfully the cashier was able to make my order at the wheeling location instead. They have the best customer service and the ability to make my order relatively fast even though it was ordered to the wrong location. I was delighted by the items I got which were great portions and were delicious. The restaurant is fairly busy but they are great for take out.

    Business Lunch Special

    I've grown up going to the Pita Inn in Skokie, but since moving to Wheeling this location is much more convenient. I often visit during lunch during the week and grab their business special lunch. It's such great deal for SO much food. It's enough for 2 meals and you get a little bit of everything. Once you walk in they have arrows on the ground still from the pandemic but it's actually super helpful when they get busy because it keeps folks in line. Once you get up to the counter and order, you let them know if you're dining in or ordering for carry out. The food comes up at the counter when your number is called and you're on your merry way. The food is great and consistent for the price. Fast and easy if you're in a rush, and the staff is great at communicating and getting you things you need.

    Chicken Shawarma Entree

    ordered the chicken shawarma entree for dinner via uber eats pick up and loved it! there is a generous amount of chicken and the sauces are great. the hot sauce is pretty hot but i love mixing it with the tahini. my husband got the combination feast and he is a fan! his favorite of the protein is the beef. can't forget the pita - i wish there was more of it so i can fit all the chicken/rice/lettuce into them. this place will definitely be a go-to meal spot!

    We live nearby and pick up dinner from Pita Inn regularly. Even when there are lines, service is quick and food is consistently good. Salads from here are a favorite of mine, as they contain more than standard offerings. Chicken, rice, falafel and hummus are also favorites.

    Combination Feast, lentil soup and Chicken Shawarma (Side Order), Fries

    Casual ambience, quick service, and good food. First time here ordering the combination feast with a side of chicken Schwarma sandwich, fries and lentil soup. Everything was good. The place is clean and busy. I enjoyed the pita, nice and warm. I would eat here again if in the area.

    Couldn't eat it all

    On the expressway on my way to visit family and noticed a Pita Inn as I was passing through Wheeling. Prior, I visited another Pita Inn location in Skokie, on several occasions for lunch and dinner. It had been years since I last ate there so I decided to check them out. After reviewing the menu, I noticed the same menu options as the other location. I ordered the Combo Plate, included shish kabob, shawarma, kifta kabob, grilled chicken and falafel with rice and a salad. The meal tasted just like I remember.....Delicious. The beef was cooked well and tender. The chicken was prepared with Mediterranean seasoning and spices. I was a huge plate, only enjoyed half, the rest I had taken to go. I didn't realize there was more than 1 Pita Inn location, glad I came across it. Yummy

    Falafel Plate
    Frank B.

    Pita Inn, possibly the best mediterranean restaurant in Chicago suburbs. If this isn't on your usual palate, I highly recommend you experience it at least once in your life time. Ordering the pita and hummus is a MUST. The pita is served warm/mildly toasted and goes great with their variety of hummus choices. I normally stick with the regular hummus and you cannot go wrong with this. Their beef and chicken shawarma are full and flavor and incredibly fresh. We ordered the spicy chicken entree for the first time which had a powerful kick. The entrees come with rice which is VERY filling. Sandwich's are also incredible but don't come with rice unless requested. Also tried falafel for the first time EVER and was pleasantly surprised. This is a meatless option and tastes amazing. Crispy fried outside with warm filling, truly delicious. Overall, I love Pita Inn. Can you tell? We've been coming here for decades and their consistency and quality has stayed the same.

I was a quite disappointed because we went on Saturday at 6:30pm and they were completely out of all pide, ezme, haydari, and the pickles so the menu was pretty limited. We ended up ordering fries as an appetizer since that's all they had. The entrees also said they come with bulgar and rice but we did not have any bulgar on our dish..it also said we should have roasted peppers and onions, which were not on our dish either. I assume they were out of all of those? We really wanted hummus but it was not on the menu. When we finished our meal, we noticed the table behind us had hummus... it would have been nice to know they had hummus. Also, we really wanted to try the manti but did not see it on the menu. At the end of the meal, my husband wanted a coffee and the waitress said there was no coffee and the machine was broke. Service was ok. Waitress forgot our drink. Not very attentive. Dining area is small but cute. They are planning to expand the dining area so there really isn't much of a market anymore. Prices are pretty high in comparison to most Turkish/middle eastern restaurants. They do give you yummy bread and Babaganoush. I want to try it again in hopes that other menu items are available.

What I found was a $40 dollar value meal for $20. I've eaten at this Pita Lita Mediteranean Grill before & @ this Palatine location on multiple occasions..Pita Pita has multiple locations. Their food is very good both my wife & I ordered the mixed meat signature plate for $19 a piece. This dish comes w/a very good variety of meats like chicken & beef shawarma, grilled chicken, grilled beef & beef kifta along with/a Mediterranean salad, yellow rice & 4 - 1/2 pocket pitas perfect for making a pita sandwich. We took the 1/2 pita & put a variety of chicken, beef, salad & yellow rice & topped it w/tahini sauce & hot sauce. This made an excellent pita pocket sandwich. The mixed meat platter makes for an excellent meal w/generous sized portions & excellently seasoned meal. In fact we had left overs so I will have lunch tomorrow. 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. I've also eaten @ the Rolling Ghetto & Lombard locations. I see they also have locations in Des Plaines, Chicago (closer to me), Skokie, 200 W Randolph (no parking). Good solid Mediterranean food & made even better by Groupon

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

The bowl serving seemed kind of small- especially for being $13. The bowl also came with a small salad inside, but I was not a fan of the pickle that was cut up, but that's just personal preference for me. The falafels were crispy and tasty. And the hummus was good, fresh and homemade, and looked amazing, but while getting close to the bottom of it, I found a tiny blue spec mixed in the hummus. Of course it caught my attention and I removed it to inspect it more. Possible a piece of sponge??? Needless to say, it shouldn't have been in there and it ruined my experience with the hummus.
