    Another nice view of the dining room, from my table.

    After landing in Chicago, I headed straight to this restaurant for a cevapi meal. Cevapi is grilled sausages with raw onion, ajvar (eggplant relish) and kajmuk (clotted cream) on the side. The meat sausages are placed between two pieces of lepinja (grilled bread). Their lepinja is outstanding here! I also ordered a Slovenian coca-cola (Cocktail) with my meal. This meal was a great start for what would be a fantastic weekend in Chicago! The Uber driver who picked me up (drove to my hotel) wondered how I wound up at this place from Chicago OHare International Airport. Staff is friendly and accommodating here. I passed on Bosnian coffee. The waitress told me, "next time." I thought this was cute. Bosnian people are very welcoming and accommodating. The price of my meal with drink was very reasonable. I'm also happy to see that this place survived the Covid shutdown. Interior is clean here as well. No dirty tables or chairs. There was a television in the upper corner of the dining room broadcasting a soccer match. Lovely to see this. This place is located in a small strip mall. It was also nice to see a steady flow of Bosnians entering and leaving the restaurant. I would love to dine here again if I ever return to Chicago. The menu also features various other Bosnia dishes. I recommend trying their burek. If you've never had Bosnian Food I recommend trying this place. You will be in for a real treat! Hope you enjoy!

    Nice little dining area

    My better half and I decided to try a new place. Bosnia Grill had good reviews so we decided to stop by. We were treated a very nice woman who I suspect is one of the owners. She was nice and very helpful explaining what the items were on the menu! There were so many sausages and pies (potato pies, meat pies, etc) on the menu. We got a potato pie and meat platter. The meat platter had many different savory sausages and their home made sour cream dipping sauce. Each type of sausage was absolutely amazing and true to the foods regional influences such as Austria and Turkey!!!! Absolutely delicious. The potato pie was amazing as well. The filling was good, but the crust is huge and done perfectly. It's soft in the inside of flaky on the outside. Under the sausages were wrinkled fries that have been soaking in the sausages' juices and were incredible. We didn't try the deserts in the fridge, but they looked authentic and delicious! We were very happy to stumble into this place! The service was friendly and fast. The dining room was clean. And the food was absolutely delicious! The price point wasn't bad at all either! This place is worth the trip and we will be back. '

    Besides the space which is decorated in ethno- style and really looks interesting, I have to mention the food and to praise it. We took a mixed meat (even it says it is for 1 person, it is actually enough for 2) and it was good. The waitress was extremely kind and the food arrived fast. Would recommend!

    Cevapi is so juicy and moist. It came out fresh! Man it was amazing. There was people coming out with trays of meat. This place is a gem. Cockta was not bad, less sweet Coca Cola.

    Hands down best PITA ever!! 10/10 Cevape and lepine were amazing too! Staff is super sweet

    Everything was super authentic and really delicious. I tried a few things very typical in Bosnia (Salty milk, Burek meat pie, Grilled meat platter). Although, the Kajmak cheese spread was really light in flavor, I typically prefer a stronger flavor. The space is really small with only a few tables available and their drinks only come in bottles/cans. I heard they do take reservations, so this could be an option if you want to guarantee a table. Other than that, super cute place. I'm definitely coming back here.

    Friendly staff and tasty food couldn't be more better beautifully decorated inside cevapi are my fav with good lepina (bread) steamed reminds me of cevapi back home always fresh . You can also order just for pick up or eat inside.

I have eaten at other locations like Palatine (first time), Rolling Meadows, Lombard & now at this location in Des Plaines. Once again PPMG didn't disappoint. The food & the service were excellent as I have come to expect @ PPMG regardless of where you get your meal. I go to lunch w/my buddy about once every other week. We take turns & rotate every other time. For him it was his first time @ a PPMG. Both my buddy & I I ordered the mixed meat combination which comes w/a variety of meats. This combination comes w/beef shawarma, beef kifta sausage, piece of grilled beef, chicken shawarma, chicken kifta & grilled chicken, some yellow rice & salad all excellently seasoned. All of this comes for $19.00/person. He also ordered a cup of lentil soup. The portion sizes are generous & more than I can eat wo/gorging myself. (I had leftovers) All of this delicious goodness for $19.00/combo. This meal was made more affordable by a Groupon that I purchased. The deal was $40 worth of food for $25. Even wo/the Groupon this is an excellent value & an excellent meal. I continue to go to Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill or PPMG because the food quality & portion sizes have always been an awesome deal I love Mediterranean food & especially love PPMG

    I first visited Al Bawadi Grill at their Bridgeview location, and it was an outstanding experience…read more The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional, which is why I kept coming back. I've since visited the Niles location several times. The food has always been consistently excellent, but unfortunately the service has never matched the quality of the kitchen. Today's visit was by far the worst. It took over 10 minutes for our server to come to the table to take our order. Throughout the meal, I had to repeatedly flag her down whenever we needed something. To make matters worse, she seemed to disappear halfway through dinner--I'm assuming she clocked out--because we had to get another server's attention just to receive basic assistance. The food, however, was fantastic. I ordered the Al Bawadi Seafood Mixed Grill, and it absolutely delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. That's what makes this so frustrating. This restaurant serves some of the best Middle Eastern food in the area, but when you're paying premium prices, you expect service that matches the quality of the food. I still recommend the food without hesitation, but the consistently poor service at the Niles location is making it harder to justify returning.

    I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you are looking for delicious food in a beautiful…read moreroom with excellent service, you've come to the right place. Our server was so kind and never let us make the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. She gave us her recommendations every step of the way and every single one was perfect. What we got: Mint lemonade: 5/5. SO refreshing and delicious. Perfect sweetness and the little bit of pulp you get is great. I only wish there was more of it! Chicken arayes: 4.5/5. Crispy, cheesy, garlicky. Need I say more? Get some extra garlic on the side if you wanna take it up a notch. Fried halloumi: 4/5. These are like a soft mozzarella stick, so tasty. Definitely eat the pickles with them. Lamb chops: 4.5/5. 4 tender lamb chops seasoned beautifully. Definitely recommend the red rice over the yellow if you can handle a little bit of heat. Kanafeh: 5/5. Whoever thought that cheese, sweet syrup, phyllo, and pistachios would go together is a genius. Definitely don't leave without getting this dessert. The salt of the cheese perfectly balances out the sweetness. No notes! And get some peppermint tea to go with it too. And the portion sizes are huge! Definitely get your money's worth here. My only issue is this place is right by my job so now I'm gonna go broke getting food here all the time. But that's a problem I'd love to have!

The person behind the counter had a great energetic smile and was super nice. Ever though we were the only ones there, we still had about at 15 minute wait, which was fine. I was really hoping to love the food, but it was just okay for me. I felt like there was a lot of flavor that was lacking in the shawarma and rice. The bowl serving seemed kind of small- especially for being $13. The bowl also came with a small salad inside, but I was not a fan of the pickle that was cut up, but that's just personal preference for me. The falafels were crispy and tasty. And the hummus was good, fresh and homemade, and looked amazing, but while getting close to the bottom of it, I found a tiny blue spec mixed in the hummus. Of course it caught my attention and I removed it to inspect it more. Possible a piece of sponge??? Needless to say, it shouldn't have been in there and it ruined my experience with the hummus.
