    Grape Leaves
    George D.

    Went here for a business lunch recommended by my colleague. Got a variety plate that included hummus, pita, rice, falafel, grape leaves. It was all very good. The grape leaves were served cold and have no meat. I prefer the warm grape leaves with at least beef and preferably lamb. The hummus was on point and the falafel was very good. Service was quick and friendly. The dining area is spacious and not too noisy. Good spot for lunch if you are in the area.

    Everything was phenomenal . This is some of the fluffiest falafel I have ever had. Everything is noticeably fresh, will definitely be back.

    Chicken shawarma wrap with basmati rice

    New to Mediterranean lifestyle. Looked on Yelp for a good place nearby and this one came up. Husband and I both ordered chicken shawarma wraps (lunch special). They were out of fries so we got rice instead. Fantastic food, big portions. Decided to try baklava for a treat and they gave it to us free. Great service, nice little restaurant...can't wait to have lunch here again!

    Good Mediterranean food in Bolingbrook. We ordered meat combo entree, grape leaves and baklava. The meat combo was delicious and included chicken kabobs, beef kefta, chicken shawarma, pita, hummus, salad and falafel. This dish gives you a variety of options and portion size was adequate for two people. Large selection of items on the menu and they also serve American food. Thank you

    Falafel Wrap
    Anusha D.

    Tried this place with my husband for dinner. We started off with grape leaves which were good. We then had Falafel Wrap and Mixed Grill. The falafel wrap was just ok so does the mixed grill. The sauces weren't as great as I feel they've water those down specifically the hot sauce. The ambiance was just ok. The service wasn't great as the server was confused with our order and we've to remind him with the ordered items.

    Pita Zone was so good! The service and atmosphere was great and the food was phenomenal. We got the Mix Grill Platter and Shawarma Platter and the portion sizes fed four people comfortably. The employees and owner were very helpful and kind. We will definitely be coming back.

    Went to pick up my order, brought it home, totally different than the food I had a couple of months ago. The shrawma was chopped and not shaved like usual. The falafel had a strange taste, and was harder texture than normal. When I bit into my chicken "shrawma" there was a bone in it! The hummus was so sour (I'm hoping from lemon juice) I couldn't even eat it! So disappointed, not going back!

    THE PITA AND THE PENDULUM   My opinion of this Mediterranean restaurant has swung from 'good' to 'needs improvement'.   Pita Zone is in a Bolingbrook strip mall at the intersection of Weber Rd & Hassert; in this same area are a Subway, Dairy Queen and Otobo, our neighborhood sushi spot.   You might be better off ordering online; when I placed an order in-person for a gyro and wrap, it took 20 minutes before it was ready.  TWENTY.  That's a long time for a couple of fairly speedy items.  Down the street, COVO or Fill-a-Pita can whip this up for you in 4-5 minutes, tops.   Of these three places that offer gyros, Pita Zone's was the cheapest ($7.50).  Theirs was also the only one that included pickles on the sandwich (which my wife wasn't a fan of), but otherwise the gyro was fine.  You can add fries and a drink for $3.50.   I liked the beef shawarma wrap ($8.50) that came with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, hummus and tahini sauce.  The lentil soup ($4) tasted pretty good.  I've gotten meat combos ($15) in the past that were fairly yummy and a decent value.   Last visit, I specifically asked for a side of yellow rice but they gave me a side of fries--and they weren't even good ones!  I was really looking forward to that delicious Mediterranean rice (I even clarified yellow rice in case they misheard me, but apparently that didn't do sh*t).   Just as I was getting my drink and leaving, I saw a bunch of ants in the soda fountain drip tray.  Not just a few, but a horde of black ants all over the place.  Apart from a rat stealing pizza, ants are one of the LAST things a customer wants to see at a restaurant.  Eeeeeee.   * TL;DR *   Pita Zone gets a 4/10 on the kebab-o-meter: despite some signs of promise (good value, decent tasting food), there were also lots of issues (inaccurate order, long wait times, bug sightings).   While I'm happy to support small businesses like this one, I think PZ's shortcomings have ruled themselves out of conversation at this point.  COVO/Fill-a-Pita are technically chains, but at least they've got their act together and I'm willing to pay a bit more for that professionalism.   Could do worse.  Could do better.

    One of my sister's favorite, so I brought her here for her birthday lunch. She loves the falafel wrap and I needed a lamb fix, so I went for the kabobs. Cooked to perfection! Owner is so nice and brought us an appetizer and baklava on the house. I won't be needing dinner tonight. His rice is great as well as the hummus and garlic sauce. Offers many lunch specials and I look forward to another visit.

    Fattoush Salad And Falafel Wrap
    Steve A.

    A pretty good place to get in the zone for a pita and falafel. In Bolingbrook there's a shopping center and it has a few restaurants including this one. Pita Zone is among the better places. Fairly good prices on most of the items. The menu is friendly to vegetarians. Get a pita because it's what they focus on of course. It has a few to choose from. They have the usual kinds such as the Falafel Wrap. It's $6.99 for a pretty big one. This comes with cucumbers, hummus, lettuce, onions, pickles, tahini, and tomatoes. A nice thing is that it actually comes with plentiful falafel. This is crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. A difference from other places is that it's not burnt. The best sides include the Fattoush Salad. It's $3.99 for a pretty big one. This has a vinaigrette dressing with cucumbers, mixed lettuce, onions, parsley, romaine, and tomatoes. Has some pretty good and healthy items. It also has pretty low prices. There's lots to choose for vegetarians.

This is a nice, small Middle Eastern market compared to Souq Fresh Market in Lombard. Souq is very big. This market has a lot of unique Middle Eastern snacks that I've never seen before along with a kitchen that you can order lunch and dinner from. Lunch is served 10 am - 2 pm. I believe dinner is served from 2 pm to 9 pm. Don't quote me on the end dinner times. They have 3 tables that you can eat at. I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made. I'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.

It's tiny inside and feels well worn (in a good way), but there are a few tables outside. We went at an off time (or so we thought), but eventually all four tables and all bar seating were taken up. The gentleman serving us seemed to be the only one there, but he was friendly. We ordered a taktouka sampler, mixed grill platter, and lamb shank tagine. If you go to a Moroccan restaurant, you've got to get tagine. It took a little while for the food to come out, but overall it was excellent. The taktouka sampler was full of veggies. It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.

The kitchen is all the way visible, with nothing to hide. A number of Doner roasters and fryers on the back wall, and through the glass all of the preparation bins were RIGHT THERE. It all looked superb and fresh. The billboard menu above was easy to read, although if you don't know what Bashka or Mansaf is, you're not going to find out anything there. The Gal behind the counter (at least on the day I was there) seemed to not have the best command of English, although she was most polite and professional. I had never heard of a "Puffy" Pita, so of course I swung with a "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita with Everything". They were making Falafels for another order, and they looked swell, so I piped an order of 3 as a side dish. Upon walking in, there was a cart that had an assortment of Middle-Eastern Pickles (Which I have a remarkable affinity for). When you order them, they hand you a clamshell and you return to the cart to "Pick your own". A perfect diversion while your food is prepared to order. There was a pile of fab-looking Baklavas in clamshells in the ordering window, and they were SO fab-looking I had to throw one in on my order. Well. I got in the car and HAD to try one of the Falafels while they were hot and crispy (Wife was driving). Need to say, these might have been the best Falafels I've ever had. Chock full of flavor, with a mighty crunch, and this was even without a dunk in the provided Tahini sauce. I savaged the entire order of 3 before we got home. The "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita" was a handful, and it too, was a flavor extravaganza. I don't know exactly what constitutes a "Crispy Fluffy Pita", but this one was really delish. On another, later visit I had just a "Puffy Lamb Pita" which was notch below the Crispy morsel, but still yum. The Garlic and Pomegranate sauces on the side were tasty, but the CripsyPuffy really did not need any help in the flavor department. Wife had procured me a Hot Tender from "Fry The Coop" a few doors down from Hello Shawarma here, and I was dipping it in the Hello Shawarma sauces to the Chicken Tender's advantage. The Baklava was, as it turned out, not simply good, it was OUTSTANDING! Full disclosure, with the absence of Arak on my booze shelf, I substituted a nice glass of Ouzo on the rocks to quaff with my meal, and it was a perfect call So I'm throwing 5 for this fab chain, a fine mid-eastern meal indeed! I was so into it, I forgot to snap any photos!!! Next time, I'm going to over-order and get Bashka AND Mansaf...
