    Chicken Shawarma wrap
    David M.

    Didn't live up to the hype of all the Google reviews and Tiktok videos. We all had the chicken shawarma wrap. The size of the wrap is large and I like that they grilled them. That is about it. The wrap which is $14, comes with garlic sauce, a few diced pickles and meat. No options to add anything else other than hot sauce. The meat was bland and dry. The garlic sauce was good but just average. I had added hot sauce and there was no heat. They do have potential with the idea, but I feel there are better options.

    Trying this spot for the first time, and there were a lot of people waiting for orders. There were only two people working and they were super nice in trying to cook and take orders at the same time. There is no seating era yet and the place is really no frills. They had no chicken shawarma and said the wait would be an hour for it, even though we arrived an hour after they opened. We ordered chicken shish tawook, black Angus shawarma, and chicken kufta Kebab. The chicken sandwiches were so flavorful. The black Angus shawarma had a lot of chewy, fatty pieces. I would probably stick to the chicken only next time. The sandwiches are pricy, 4 sandwiches cost me $62. I would come back here as a shawarma splurge.

    Don't let the current lack of ambiance fool you, the place is open and they are working on the seating area, decor etc. Nothing is amiss with the delicious food. Went in to check them out, got the chicken shawarma wrap. The owner promised its the best and when I tried it at home, it met the expectation. It was definitely one of the best wraps I've had. Really happy to have them in the neighborhood and can't wait to try more menu items and enjoy their dine in experience once its ready.

    The portion size was great, but takeout was not the best. It was adequate/bland but might be better to eat at the restaurant itself.

    Great place for Mediterranean food with basic dining. You go in and order, then when your dinner is…read moreready, they bring you your food. In a strip mall, yet comfortable cushioned seating inside and plenty of it. You can get a choice of appetizers such as falafel balls, hummus, or loaded fries. Then they have a wide variety of mediterranean wraps or pita sandwiches - both meat and vegetarian. There are a few choices of salads - all made fresh. Finally, there are entrees of all types. I tried the veggie platter and got falafel, hummus, baba ghannouj, and salad along with pita bread. There's even a shawarma bowl. For drinks, there's a machine with all sorts of choices. The food was filling; in fact - we all had to take about 10-20% of our dinners home with us!

    07/23/25 - It's not my first rodeo at Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill (PPMG). After an afternoon of…read moreshopping @ Woodfield Mall we were hungry. My wife suggested looking on Groupon. 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
