    Starter Bowl with rice, shish tawook, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and garlic sauce

    I am STILL thinking about this meal. It was truly amazing. It felt so comforting to eat it. I have a food allergy and the staff communicated with me excellently to figure out what was fine to eat and they were so kind and patient. love this place

    Pita or Bowl is conveniently located between our drive from Chicago to St. Louis when I was craving something other than the usual fast food options. We ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and a gyro bowl with veggies and chickpeas on top of hummus. The hummus was delicious, fresh, and creamy, but in hindsight I would have preferred rice as the base. The wrap was a bit dry but the chicken itself was tasty. We ordered the baklava cheesecake for dessert and it was so unique and decadent! The layers of crunchy flaky honey went well with the cheesecake.

    Truly some of the best food I've had in the area! It was so flavorful, clean, and all around one of the best meals I've had. The service was amazing and you can tell they are passionate about their food and truly care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very clean and I would definitely come again![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So worth the hour drive!!

    Pita or Bowl is a must stop for delectable Mediterranean options.

    Chicago to Los Angeles means trying new culinary options when the hungries take over. We were passing through Springfield, Illinois and it was lunchtime. We love, love, love Mediterranean style cuisine and so we chose Pita or Bowl today for lunch. This is kind of like spinning the spinner on Wheel of Fortune except you don't need to buy a vowel to discover the answer. You just need to pick a delightful option from the menu. We chose to construct our own bowls. Two bowls with basmati rice covered in generous helpings of falafel in one and chicken shawarma in the other. We added toppings of pickled turnips, pickles, cabbage, and red onions. These masterpieces were then finished with a ladle of tahini sauce spread over the top. The shawarma was excellently spiced and cooked. Mixed with the tahini sauces, toppings, and basmati rice this was very tasty! The falafel bowl had the same ingredients except with the falafel traded for the chicken. The falafel was well prepared with a nice crunch to the exterior and a light nicely spiced interior. Both bowls were taste festivals! We are sorry that we were only passing through because we would love to make many return trips to Pita or Bowl in the future so we could to try more of the yummy options.

    Casual place for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. It's an order at the counter and fill it as you go operation. Pita Or Bowl, that is the question. Actually you can get neither, as in there's other options to choose. This is also one of the few places in Springfield to get this kind of food, and therefore a good place for those looking for healthier or plant based meals. Bowls are the most popular option, according to my observations when I was in here. It's a good option when you're really hungry and want to get a lot. This time I wasn't that hungry, so I got a pita. It's about $7 with falafel. You also get a protein choice, and the meats include chicken and gyro. Falafel of course is the best. They also put on a crap ton of toppings at no cost for loading it up. Get as much as you can and pay the same price. They also have a few sides. Good options but if hungry I would get a bowl. It has the most stuff in it. The prices seem kind of high so be sure to get as much free toppings.

    I had a beef shawarma pita. It was huge, cheap, and insanely delicious. Glad Springfield has some Mediterranean food.

    Flavor was good, but portions were small and it was overpriced. Got a Kufta kabab bowl.

    Excellent food. Great value. The bowls are so healthy and delicious you can justify getting the baklava. The baklava cheesecake is yummy!

    The falafel is the bomb here! I highly recommend ordering a side to try. The portions are perfect, not too much or too little.
