Conveniently located at the corner of E State St & Sundae Dr, we were pleasantly surprised with…read morethis find. There's plenty of parking in the lot around the restaurant too! The restaurant is nicely decorated. Appreciated the attention to detail... even the booths and tables were covered in pretty designs. After walking in, we ordered at the counter toward the back of the restaurant. We got our drink cups and chose our table. My husband and I shared a mix grill plate, which came with a Greek side salad that came out first. The mix grill had chicken, beef and lamb kebabs over rice. Super yummy! Super satisfied. Next time we go, we want to try the gelato at the side counter and other register?

Ordered the Lamb Shank & Jerusalem mix ! Absolutely love it . Fast , tender and tastyread more

I used to live in la so I do have high standards when it comes to good food. An omg let me tell you…read morethe food was amazing especially when you consider the price. The Lentil Soup and tabouli were to die for. The soup is a family recipe and the Tabouli is always fresh. Even the staff was out of this world. Dude had closed down and was about to go home when he saw my mom , my aunt, and me outside. The man reopened the kitchen and made all the food from scratch on his own just to feed us since we were hungry. I would 100% recommend this place due to the astounding staff and food. It's a cute place to check out if your ever in the area.

I got the Shakshouka for breakfast earlier this week and it was really amazing! Everything was so…read morewell seasoned and the amount and quality of food was great. Definitely planning to go back.

Stopped by here while waiting for my car to be serviced. It's Sunday just past the lunch rush and…read morethere's not a lot of people here, but the service is on the slower side, despite the number of waitresses. And while I'm on that subject, there were at least two of them wearing an AirPod! The portions are fairly large so you do get your money worth. I had the pecan chicken salad and it was standard. Nothing really stood out in terms of flavor. Would have liked to have seen a better selection of dressings though. It's okay for a sit down cafe style with a large breakfast menu and many choices for lunch too!

They were out of so many things when we got there. Ingredients for one of their signature coffee…read moredrinks, BURGER PATTIES, and pita wrap for the gyro. The Ceasar salad was $17 for iceberg lettuce with a few small croutons and thick dressing with sliced tomatoes in huge chunks. I asked for chicken on my salad and didn't get that. No breadstick. They were cleaning the floors around us and talking loudly across the lobby to each other. Large breakfast menu.. should've gone with something on there.

I am happy to report that this business has reopened. The sign now reads "Shawarma Kabob Falafel…read moreHummus." Same management, same great food. They still sell bananas and local Middle Eastern cookies from Chicago bakeries for desesrt. The menu might have changed slightly, but fans of Pita X-Press will probably find their favorites. We ordered a vegetarian platter, which had baba ghanouj, hummus, two kinds of cucumber salad, four falafels, and a generous, freshly warmed pita. It was enough food for a light lunch for two. We enjoyed watching the cars pass under the Belvidere Oasis as we ate our food. So glad that this business is back.

Now this is a real OASIS !…read more While coming back from Janesville, we stopped by this oasis to get something from Panda Express. The moment we walked in, the plane of Panda Express went down the drain as the first food stall was Pita X-press. Full fledge Mediterranean menu with onsite fresh shawarma, pita wraps, falafel were just irresistible. I went for #4 gyro with rice and salad. My friend had chicken, gyro and rice. They were happy to offer a range of sauces and add extra meat for free. It tasted fresh and delicious. The best part was enjoying the food on the benches right on the top of I-90, the real oasis experience. Courteous staff. Great food. Cheap gas lol. It may sound like guilty pleasure to go to an oasis in wilderness to enjoy Mediterranean food, but I am definitely going there again.
