  I've been going to Pita Inn for years (decades more like). It's simply the best. First of all, you can't beat their lunch special. They're fast, friendly and very clean at this place. The guy that takes the order is a bit goofy with his jokes but worth a quick laugh during lunch time.
  
  I end up comparing other places with Pita Inn when it comes to food. I'd had better Mediterranean food here and there but nowhere has a complete menu of items that taste good overall. Falefal here is nicely seasoned and crispy on the outside and goes great with their tahini and spicy sauce. Their meats are cooked nicely and seasoned very well. Chicken shwarma is so good that my mouth just watered writing this. Their hummus is decent but what I really like is their baba ganoush so creamy and full of flavor!
  
  I definitely recommend this place. I can probably eat at this place at least 3-4 times a week.

  First of all, let's be honest here. You will not get an unbiased, neutral review here. I will state, simply, for the record, that Pita Inn is my favorite place to eat in the world. I have traveled all over North America and Europe. I have eaten at tiny, hole in the wall places, big fancy restaurants and everything in between.
  
  Pita Inn is my favorite restaurant.
  
  This is not a review, this is a gibbering, fanboy rant. If you ever meet me, ask me to do my southern preacher take on the "Holy Pita".
  
  I get the Kefta or the Lamb Kebab generally, both of which are sublime. The hummus is the best I have ever had. Their bread, made in their own bakery, is incredible. Go to the store on Dempster and get it fresh. Trust me on this.
  
  Their Stuffed Grape Leaves leave me giddy. My wife loves the Falafel. I don't tend to like Falafel, but I like theirs.
  
  The red sauce that you can get to go with the meal is feral. The burn is glorious without being painful. The Tahini is marvelous. I love the Tabouleh Salad.
  
  It is amazing food. I have visited every location now (I am posting this for every location). We go whenever we are in the Chicago area. We plan trips around it. "Let's leave at this time so we can have a meal at Pita Inn."
  
  Go ... eat there. You won't be disappointed.

  There are a number of Pita Inn's in Chicagoland and all serve good middle eastern food but for us our favorite is the one in Wheeling. This restaurant is small in size but big on smiles and service. You order at the counter and then pick up when your number is called. I guess it is the more intimate space that calls us back.Tonight we decided to share two dishes, the combo feast and a falafel veggie plate with a large side of baba-ganos. Oh and we also shared the wickedly sweet Bakalawa all washed down with the refreshing mint ice tea. Warning two entrees is too much food for normal appetites. The good news is we will have some great doggy bag leftovers tomorrow. Hopefully next visit we will have warmer weather so we can dine on the patio.

  The Business Lunch Special for $6 is a great value for your buck. All of meats varieties on a bed of lettuce and rice pilaf. I like that the rice was not hard and cooked just right. The lettuce was fresh from the day. The flavoring of the meat is enough without being over empowering and the portioning was great. Not too little meat like some places. And the meat was not dry, it was moist and soft. Add a little chilly sauce and you'll have that zing to really add a touch of spice.
  
  This was my first time trying Pita Inn through carry-out from work. I liked that this dish special had a little bit of everything for a Mediterranean foodie newbie like me. I would definitely visit this place sometime for dine-in!
