Met two colleagues for a quick dinner. The staff were welcoming and wildly helpful to answer questions as we ordered on the electronic kiosk! There are tables available to sit indoors and a couple small tables outside. They have bottled soft drinks for purchase but limited beverage options. The food is worth coming here for. I would drive out of my way to come here again for the quality of the food and the hospitality, which more than make up for anything lacking in a generic strip mall ambiance. The chicken kebab is incredible - so juicy and flavorful. The hummus is perfectly seasoned. Chicken and beef shawarma were both winners. Grape leaves were perfect and came in orders of a dozen! Pita was warm, fresh and fluffy. 10/10 read more

I've been past this place a bunch of times recently. I love good shawarma, but it's hard to find near me, so I made a mental note and added it to my list. While it's past take-out distance from me, it's a nice enough restaurant to eat in. Its no further away than my old favorite place (ruined under new ownership) as well, which is a good deal for me. We got a chicken shawarma plate and a kifta kebab plate. Food came out in order, with salad and hummus first followed shortly after by our main plates. It's counter service so you grab everything yourself. I really liked the dressing on the salad. Like a light and sweet balsamic, it cuts through the richness of the rest of the meal. Really nice hummus. Extra nutty flavor. You get some pita, too. It wasn't my favorite but it was soft and warm which is good enough. The mains came out but they initially forgot the sauce. When I asked for some they initially gave me tzatziki before getting it right the second time. The shawarma is really good! You can see the spit behind the counter so you know your getting the real deal, always a plus. Kifta was also excellent, and the rice is seasoned well. Tasty. Good portion on the plate as well, I took home leftovers and enjoyed them the next day. Cleanup is on you, and it's not convenient. I don't mind doing it typically. But I see this trend a lot now... one small garbage bin with the little plastic bucket on top for all of your stuff. Plates, silverware, plastic bussing trays, all supposed to go in this tiny thing? And it was already full. If this is the best you can do for a garbage you've got to keep it cleaner. It shouldn't be an awkward chore to simply throw out my trash. Two more quick gripes. First, the bathroom isn't in the best shape. The dining area is nice, clean and modern, they should give the bathroom a matching remodel. Two, chairs are kind of uncomfortable. We need some padding. I really liked the food here. I like a more varied shawarma plate but if I play with the menu I think I can find a satisfying solution. This is probably going to be my go-to shawarma place for now. That said, I'd really give this visit a 3.5 for the issues I mentioned. I'll round up for the flavors! read more

Food - It was some of the best shawarma I've had, especially the beef. The person working told us that they make their beef shawarma in-house so we had to try it and it did not disappoint. We popped in for lunch and your meal also comes with a mango juice so overall the value of their lunch special is solid. I personally prefer a spicier red sauce when I eat Mediterranean, but theirs is on the tangier side (from what I've read this also aligns with authentic Mediterranean cuisine). Service - The guy working was very friendly and accommodating if we needed anything. Ambiance - Feels like a typical shawarma joint. Easy, quiet place to come have a meal. read more

Pita W Shawarma did not disappoint! The service surpassed any expectations I had. Staff were personable and friendly. All were patiently answering questions and took time to explain different dishes. I was moderately surprised by the amount of food that comes with each order. The decor was simple and tables/chairs were clean & sturdy. The place felt open with the furniture spaced apart. There is limited seating despite the amount of space. I think there was a total of 6 tables. Most importantly, the food was carefully prepared and presented. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. We enjoyed it so much, we ordered for a large group gathering a couple weeks later! read more

The food was fresh and everything was homemade. Our food was cooked to order- not just sitting in a warming tray. The dining area was clean and light. A very helpful employee took our order. I wish we would have come here sooner, but we will definitely be back!! A++ read more

I have been looking and waiting for good shawarma to come near me in Buffalo Grove and finally we have one! I've already been here 5 times in the last 2 weeks it's so good. The staff is very friendly, but most of all the food is amazing. Their shawarma (beef and chicken) off the spit is moist and so flavorful. They have a great lunch special for 13.99 and you can choose between a couple different options. Plenty of parking, we will surely be regulars here for a long time! read more

Pita w Shawarma, I'm so glad you're in the neighborhood. Authentic Middle Eastern flavors without needing a trip to Chicago. Real deal flavors that feel like someone actually knows their way around shawarma. Sauces are to die for, especially the garlic--do yourself a favor and grab it. Nice addition to the block, the folks running it seem genuinely into it and it shows in the food. Chill, casual spot--perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed dinner. Generous portions and solid value for what you're getting. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. This is my second time here and I've had the beef and chicken shawarma, the beef sheesh, lentil soup, hummus, falafel, and lastly the salad(yes, we order a lot of food). Nothing here disappoints. read more

Pita W Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

The food was incredible, well seasoned, it was warm but not hot which is fine with me. The falafel was moist and the hummus was well presented and creamy. I was delightfully shocked by the amount of food we got, one dish comes with an appetizer salad, hummus, and pitas. I got the chicken and beef meal which was spectacular. The service was great, they were friendly so no complaints there. It was fine for a little restaurant a homey feel with pleasent music (it reminded me of the music Disney world plays at night at their resorts). Overall really amazing hidden gem and so so so glad I went to try it out, I hope it stays for good! read more

Pita W Shawarma - The menu is large. Something for every taste. - Mediterranean Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner here. We did carry out. We had all the "fixings" we needed for an easy dinner at home. We ordered beef and chicken shawarma dinners w a salad and extra rice and beef. It was all absolutely fabulous!! Plenty of meat and rice, fresh salad and excellent pita and sauces. We have plenty of leftovers! Yay! The service was great. The restaurant was very clean and tidy. So happy to have this great spot close! read more

Food was good and turn around time was relatively quick. Glad to support a local business.

Delicious , fresh, healthy Mediterranean food!!! I'm Middle Eastern myself and it's one of the best i've tasted in the suburbs.

Went with my family for dinner last night. The food was tasty, seasoned well and plentiful. The hummus for so creamy and delicious and the pitas were so good. Not much seating is the only drawback. read more

What a gem Pita W Shawarma is to the northwest suburbs, no more traveling to Chicago to get authentic tasty middle eastern food. We came in less than an hour before closing and were met with a warm welcome and genuine smiles. We ordered a beef shawarma wrap, a chicken shawarma wrap, and four falafels. The food came out quick, was hot and really delicious. The wraps are pressed on the grill so they have a nice crisp with each bite and hold their shape until the very last one. The sauces we tried were also amazing, tahini, garlic, and hot sauce. We will 100% be returning! read more

Best beef shawarma in North suburbs. I get the combination and beef shawarma entree. Chicken shawarma is delicious as well. Hummus is to die for. Great flavor, my new favorite spot for middle Eastern food. read more

This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood. They serve excellent Mediterranean food. It has more of a "to-go" vibe, but they have tables for seated meals. The shawarma wraps are very good - they taste great and don't fall apart in your hands like at other restaurants. The kabob plates are generous becuase they come with side salad, rice, and hummus. And the falafel is very authentic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for more authentic Mediterranean food. I do have two small complaints - There should be a small side with the chicken shawarma sandwich which costs $12. And the tahini sauce tasted a bit watered down. Other than that I really loved the food. read more

Good, fresh, quality food. The hummus is delicious and the tzatziki sauce was definitely homemade. We had the classic gyro sandwich, beef schwarma plate, kifta kabob and beef kabob to-go. Will be back again. Support local small business. read more

First time here and it was delicious! Will definitely come again and will recommend it .

All I can say is wow. It's taken so long for anything to open in that location after Dunkin' moved and it was absolutely work the wait. Pita W Shawarma has the best Mediterranean food in Buffalo grove and I would even say in the surrounding towns as well. My portion was the best size it was big but not so big I feel sick and the flavor was something else. The pickles with the hummus and falafel is not a combination that can go wrong but they do it so well. I am looking forward to eating in the restaurant sometime as I have seen it from out side and it looks beautiful. I am so happy we have more local businesses and more cuisines to chose from in Buffalo grove. Pita W Shawarma is a must go to if in town. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. I can tell is what made by traditional Middle Eastern cooks. I was down a little Money and they covered it for me. It wasn't really cheap, but it was definitely worth the money and it's really convenient right and right out. I really recommend this place. read more

Great food & service... quick, easy, and delicious. I would highly recommend. We called for carry out and 15 minutes later, we were ready to roll! Thanks again!!! read more

Excellent chicken kabob, gyros and hummus! We ordered in and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We will try again for sure. read more

Their falafel sandwich is heaven! Great service and comfortable setting. I highly recommend it!

I tried the chicken shawarma wrap and absolutely loved it. The seasoning was perfect, with just the right amount of cardamom. So many places use too much cardamom, which can quickly overpower the flavor profile. Pita w Shawarma nailed it. I will definitely be a regular customer. read more
