Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill

Heard about this place from some friends. They said it was easily the best Mediterranean food in the area and they were right! The atmosphere is pleasant with a kind of modern, middle-​eastern vibe. The guys at the counter are friendly. The staff that bring out the food to your table have shaky English at best, but it’s really no big deal. Kind of makes you feel like you’re really in another country!
I’ve inly been here twice (so far), but I was with a party of 4 people both times. We all had something different and shared bites with each other so I feel like I can say that pretty much everything here is really good. My kids love their saffron rice and falafel.
On my first trip, I had a chicken lunch plate — still a large portion of food for really cheap. I’d much rather spend $ 6 – 7 here for a fresh, healthy lunch than on a processed sandwich at a greasy fast food restaurant. On my second visit (dinner), I had the vegetarian plate — delicious falafel, baba ganoush, hummus, salad w/​homemade dressing, and stuffed grape leaves. The hot mint tea was good too — no tea bags, just real dried mint and hot water. Others on my party had the falafel wrap sandwich, chicken plate, and grilled lamb plate. All were excellent.

A coworker and I discovered this gem one day on lunch. The food is very very good. I am big fan of pita inn and let me tell you this place blows pita inn out of the water. I have recommended Pita Pita to my friends and family they all seem to really enjoy it. I have gone back many times and have not beed disappointed.

Went there for the first time, we order the meat and veggie lunch meal. The food was great and the service was friendly. Our food came out fast and the place was clean. I would highly recommend it.

Yummy. If you’ve never had Mediterranean food, or our just looking for some good eats, Pita is a must. Extremely flavorful dishes combined with a friendly staff make this a regular stop for either lunch or dinner. Also, for those of you who eat with your eyes, Pita Pita’s food looks as good as it both smells and tastes.

I’m obsessed with this place! Their kabob plate is on fire! Every time I’ve eaten here (which is like 10 times since I discovered it a month ago) the food has been of consistent quality and it’s delicious! The staff are all very nice and the food always comes out quick. This is one of the better Mediterranean restaurants around the area. Just typing this makes me wish I had their pita and hummus!

My favorite place to eat, hands down.
This place wipes away Pita Inn like no other.
The food is beyond delicious. The portion sizes are huge and the price is unbeatable.
I’ve tried a lot of things from here and I’ve loved every single one. I always get a chicken dish. The chicken from here is incredibly flavorful and juicy. The rice is amazing. Delicious fresh pita bread. The salad is great and flavorful, unlike Pita Inns soggy, lettuce with yogurt on it salad…
They have a ton of beverages to choose from, I love the selection of tea they have!
The set up of this place is very nice and clean. You order at the front and they bring it to you! The staff here is super nice and the food comes out fairly quick!
My boyfriend and I drive 40 minutes to come here and it’s definitely worth it.

My new favorite Mediterranean restaurant. Friendly, great value, good size portions, and really delicious. Had the veggie plate twice. I really should try something else, but it is really terrific. Even liked the stuffed grape leaves, which I usually skip. Here they’re good.
Try them; you won’t regret it.

The ambiance is nice and causal, making it great for lunch or dinner. The restaurant is extremely clean and the service is great. Got an order for take out and the cashier was kind and very helpful. Ordered the falafel plate, which came with 6 falafels, rice, fresh salad, and pita. They’re pita is warm and fresh daily. As opposed to pita inn, the salad and rice taste more fresh. They do not use iceberg lettuce and they season their salad really well. The red sauce was perfectly spicy. The best part was the falafels themselves, they were bold in flavor and super crunchy. I would definitely recommend coming here for lunch, this place has definitely taken a spot over pita inn in my opinion. However, I still think naf naf is #1!

Good quality food.
Prices are higher than average and portions are small.
The atmosphere is nice.

Ordered from here to pick up. Was not disappointed! Hummus was really good. The fallafal for me was a little overdone and too dry. We also got the chicken kawook which came with yellow rice, tomato, onion and salad for $ 10, very tasty. The $ 10 Meat shwarma with rice, tomato, onions and salad was a great portion and also hit the spot!
Good value and very flavorful.

One of the best examples of authentic Mediterranean cuisine in the Chicago area. Not to mention the staff is polite, the area clean, and the only drawback is it is somewhat hidden in a strip mall. An excellent source for a good meal, more than reasonable costs, and a pleasant outing for the family.
Ensure you try the Arabian Coffee.

This place really is good. The chicken in the Mixed Plate is so tender and juicy! The pitas served are hot off the grill and are great with the delicious tzatziki sauce. The sauces are ridiculous. I’m not sure if they make their own but the tzatziki and hot sauce are so flavorful!!! The side salad has a fruity dressing which goes great with the cucumbers, onions and tomatoes. The service here is accommodating and friendly! This is gonna be my new ‘burbs shawarma place!

This was my second time eating at Pita Pita. The first time was I was amazed and now I was blown away. Food was 5 star, I wonder how they make those delicious food.
The food again is very flavorful and the service is great.
A little hidden gem in a little strip mall that you may not notice while traveling along Dundee Road.

This is not your typical fast-​casual food restaurant, as I expected from my previous experience at Pita Inn — a point that must be overstated! It is a truly different experience than Pita Inn.
The food is freshly prepared upon ordering, and rightfully so I experienced a 15 minute delay from the moment I ordered my food to when I received it.
The ambiance itself is well-​suited for a night out with the family, friends, or potential date. It is somewhere in between casual but not yet formal.
The food, although satisfying, tasted oddly different. Not just as compared to Pita Inn, but I think the herbs and spices were unscrupulously thrown in without consideration to their patrons.
The service however will keep me coming back on nights when I am dining out in company and feel like indulging our mediterranean-​food cravings.

You guys at Pita Pita need to make a few more locations. I crave Pita Pita ALL of the time and cant always get to Palatine, as I work in Mt Prospect and live in Hanover. :(
This is by far the best Middle Eastern in the burbs and city, way better than Pita Inn, Pita House any other place around here.
The food looks like art when they bring it out, its so fresh and full of flavor, perfect!
If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Pita Pita.

Delicious Mediterranean food in the northwest suburbs.
I’ve come here a couple of times now; chicken tawook the first time, and chicken kufta the second time. This is a great place to go for some mediterranean flavor, though I advise ordering ahead; cooking can take 15 – 20 minutes.
Both times I’ve gotten the wrap, and I’ve been a big fan of both. The wrap as a whole is grilled at the end, and it’s packed with hummus, veggies and excellently spiced chicken. The textures, temperatures and flavor are spot-​on for what I expected.
I’ve also gotten a few falafel here. They’re crunchy, deeply browned and also very flavorful, especially dipped in fresh tahini sauce.
At some point I’ll try the beef and lamb, but from what I’ve had I can wholeheartedly recommend Pita Pita.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for over a year. My coworker raved about it and the reviews were all so positive. Boy am I glad we did! My husband and I could not believe how flavorful everything was. When we walked in the guy behind the counter (who was super friendly and helpful) asked if we were «first timers», which we were, and gave us the recommendation of trying the veggie platter and the meat combo. We were excited to be able to try everything and man was it good. Our favorite was the chicken shawarma (rotisserie chicken) and the falafel. The only thing that we were not super crazy about was the stuffed grape leaves. It wasn’t that it wasn’t good, it just wasn’t something that we would order again. Everything else was excellent. We joked that it was a one-​stop ticket to flavor town. We told all our friends about this place and we will definitely be going back very soon!

I have to start out by saying that I have yet to, after many times of trying at various places, «get» Mediterranean cooking. So please take my comments with that grain of salt.
First thing I wasn’t ready for is it is an order and pay at the counter and they bring the order to your table based on a number that you are given kind of place. Not a big deal but I would have preferred table-​side ordering.
The person at the counter was friendly and more than willing to answer any questions that we had, that was a big plus in my opinion. I also appreciated that the vegetarian and vegan dishes are clearly marked.
I tried the lentil soup– it is what I would call a large portion with the «bowl» size, I should have gone for the «cup». Lots of flavor in this soup and it’s possible to have at least three tastes depending on what you put in your spoon. A nice overtone of citrus. Only negative is that I expected it to be warmer… maybe it’s supposed to be that way?
The falafel with my veggie plate was tasty if somewhat on the «hard» side. It just takes a bit more care when cutting it.
Other reviewers commented that the food was inexpensive; my feeling is that it was about what I expected if not a bit pricier. I don’t feel that we were overcharged, but $ 30+ for two people who ordered somewhat modestly is not my definition of «inexpensive». The other side of the coin is that we took home at least a lunch for one person of leftovers, so considering that, it’s a bit better deal.
There is a lot of off-​street parking available– but this may change when the new restaurant next door to Pita Pita opens.

I’ve been here twice and really like it for a simple meal with flavors off the beaten path. The grilled flavor of the meat is great!
Better than fast food and the staff is friendly and helpful.
I have to do a better review than this but it’s a great place to try out !!

I’ve been going to Pita Pita since they opened. I’m a huge fan of this type of food and try a lot of different restaurants; Pita Inn, Naf Naf Grill, Reezas, Alhambra’s just to né a few.
Pita Pita is by far the tastiest of them all. There food is tastier then all of the more expensive ones as well as the ones in their price range.
Don’t be fooled by any review under a 4 or 5. This place is the best!
