1st time here last week. So, so good. The chicken shawarma wrap and loaded fries are excellent. The garlic sauce is to die for. I could drink it by the gallon. Friendly service. Food made fresh to order. We ordered to go read more

I have to change my review as they appear to have changed their recipe for the chili chicken. It's no longer as good as it used to be...more bland, less spicy and it looks less colorful than it used to. I dunno what they changed but its not a good change, used to be the sole reason I came here. They also got extra stingey with the sauces...your sauces are good, you shouldnt fight your customers about wanting it, you should embrace it. read more

I was in Elgin and had dinner here on a Sunday. The restaurant looks more fast food like on the inside. The service was standard, order at the counter and find a table to sit. I opted for the spicy chili chicken from Yelp recommendations. The food was ready quickly and the portions were large enough to make two servings. The chili chicken was slightly spicy which was enough for me. The red color makes it look way more spicier than it actually is. The chicken had some good flavors and their creamy garlic sauce was so tasty. There was plenty of rice to accompany the chicken and the pita bread was soft and fresh. I was totally satisfied with my meal. read more

Stopped by for lunch the other day with my kid. The people working there are super nice. The restaurant is a little dated and could use a deep clean and refresh. We got two pita's, a frie, and a drink. It was $30. So may other places to get lunch for less. My son just got meat on this pita, and it was good. I had it with everything and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is runny, and overpowered the sandwich. The fries were fresh and really good. Overall, it was expensive and just ok. I probably won't be back. read more

Pita BBQ - Beef Shwarma - Mediterranean Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

Recently ordered through DoorDash after only having been there in person or takeout. The food was still incredibly fresh and delicious. The service is always welcoming and I highly recommend..: EVERYTHING on their menu! I haven't found a favorite because every time I think I have, I try something new and it's all equally as amazing as the last! read more

Pita BBQ - Combination Feast - Mediterranean Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

Legit used to be a 10/10. They skimp on the meat ridiculously now tho. Spent 15 dollars on their lunch special and it was half the portion they used to give. Not going anymore... read more

The falafel is excellent. It has a nice crunchy exterior with perfectly spiced interior. The service was quick and friendly. I definitely will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Surprisingly good Indian/greek casual spot. Although not a great spot for dining in, LOTS of people were popping in for pickup. I had the chicken kabob plate. It was $16 and too much for one seating. And the marinade/seasoning they used-delicious! It takes a minute to get food as it is cooked from scratch but because of that the chicken was tender and juicy which is challenging with small pieces like that. I would go out of my way again for it. Dinging one star for lack of atmosphere and disappointing dining room. If they could fix up the tables and chairs a bit, 5 stars for sure! read more

I mean... it tasted pretty good, but I wasn't blown away by anything. It's worth a visit to find out for yourself, but we live over 30 minutes away and don't think we'll be rushing back for a craving. Please don't let this deter you from trying it out. We had the spicy chicken platter and sandwich and we did enjoy the chicken. The sandwich is long, but skinny and not dense with content. It could use more filling of cabbage, or salad, or I've seen some places add fries for more body. That said, I ate it very quickly as the sauce was flavorful and at the perfect level of spice. The platter was decent, with the hummus finely puréed (not my preference) and the Lebanese salad was unique and tasty. If we find ourselves back in the area we would maybe stop by to try the falafel. read more

Pita BBQ - Entrance. - Mediterranean Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

The people at the counter are always super polite. Food always comes out good. Haven't had a bad thing from here. Although, I do miss when they had jones soda on their fountain bc you rarely see that anywhere. The best mediterranean food you can get in the area for sure. I recommend the spicy beef shawarma and the falafel plate. You always have to get the spicy fries with extra garlic sauce too!! read more

When Pita BBQ first opened in Streamwood, the food and service were fantastic. It was nice to see that they were doing well enough to open a second location in South Elgin, too. Sadly, the quality of the food, its preparation, and service have steadily declined since then. Today, I stopped at the South Elgin location for lunch since I was nearby. It had been close to a year since last eating there. I ordered a simple spicy falafel wrap and hoped that it wouldn't disappoint. It did. It was so disappointing. The falafel were mushy, not to mention tiny, and it wasn't spicy at all. By volume, there was more onion in the wrap than falafel as well. I have made far better at home. I will not be returning to Pita BBQ, either location. Far better falafel (food in general) can be found at Pita Pita or at Pita Inn. read more

Food taste good, serving size could be a little bit bigger. Asked for a side of spicy sauce to go with my bowl and the person checking me out seemed to have an attitude and said you know it cost extra it doesn't come with it, umm okay? I can pay for it.. just wanted extra sauce. read more

I'm ashamed to say how many times I've passed or been near here and we never gave it a try. Until recently when I really wanted some chicken shawarma. Food was so good & the service was so friendly. We rolled out the door, stuffed to the gills and took home leftovers. We will be back! read more

Chicken and Beef Schwarma was good. Great flavors and was nice and moist. Pita was a little fluffy and not hard and greasy. Had good fries and hot sauce along with the garlic sauce. Guys serving the food were great as well. Would eat here again. read more

I got to try this restaurant yesterday! The ambiance was surprisingly pleasant. The shop owner was really nice and walked my friend and I though the menu! The services was great since it was not too busy. Seemed like more people did pick up and to go orders. The food quality was great! I would try this on a week day since the special seemed like it would be a good one! read more

I'm originally from the Detroit area. Theirs a lot of middle eastern restaurants out there and this is my 1st time trying this place. The food was amazing--10/10!It hits home for me, because I really haven't found a place that has authentic middle eastern food until I came here. read more

I haven't been to Pita BBQ since before the pandemic and so glad I came back. It was my mom's first time and she was in love. The have the best falafel (so light and fluffy with a crispy exterior). My mom got the mixed meat plate. You get so much food! The staff was beyond friendly! We will definitely be back. read more

I got the falafel bowl and it came with all kinds of vegetables, rice, and falafel. It was all seasoned deliciously and the tahini sauce was delish (and vegan!) If you ever happen to find yourself hungry in south elgin, come here! read more

Pita BBQ - So delicious!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

Food was well presented, fair portions and not too expensive. Sushi was good but not great. Beautiful decor

Place is dirty All tables are sticky Fries are old Meat tasted good but that's about it fountain drinks were gross read more

5 star food, prices and portions. 2 star service. Don't bother placing an order online for pick-up. They never 'get it' and wind up making the order when you show up to get it. Also, often forget sides/extras so check before you leave. Husband had to go back for some items they forgot and they locked the door in his face when he arrived because it was 8pm. Once he called they brought out the items they forgot. Anyway, great food always. Just need to get their service together. read more

Yummy yummy ... that is all I have to say. Tried Mediterranean food for the first time. Delicious! Chicken is so tender, it melts in your mouth. Just enough spices in the meat to bring up the flavor but not overwhelming. Fresh and tasty food. I just wish they had hot mint tea. They were out. The guy behind the counter was extremely friendly and attentive. Definitely, will be back. read more

My employer had our holiday lunch supplied from Pita BBQ and it was FANTASTIC!!!! I don't live close to the restaurant (30 min away), but I can assure you I will be making the trek down Randall Rd to have dinner! really delicious, flavorful and the Falafel was the best I've ever had. The pita was fresh and tender and I chose the beef shawarma and garlic sauce from the selection we had and it was superb. In fact, just writing this review is making me hungry and a trek to So Elgin will be happening this weekend :-) read more

I really liked the food we ordered. A bit far from my place but worth coming back for. Next time I'll order something else. read more

Start with compliments on using halal meats. When asked. Reply was "of course.". And using middle eastern music in restaurant. Really adds to ambiance. I ordered vegetarian lunch special saving meat for a special occasion. Hummus (smooth) and falafel (crispy) were good. Pita was off-tasting to me. I don't think it's fresh made. I tried to call for pickup and line was busy for 20 minutes. I drove then walked into order my lunch. I had to wait inside so stayed to eat. Eating out of takeaway styrofoam is not why I go out to eat. It's a quick casual place. If you try the meat, please write a review so I know to return or not. read more

Love this place. Food is very good. I have tried several different items. Never have I been disappointed.

Went here this past weekend to order food to go. The place was dimly lit and didn't look like it was open. Thankfully it was. We ordered two mixed shawarma plates. Overall the quantity of food was good and it had great flavor. Hummus was too oily for my liking, but the garlic sauce was delicious. My only real complaint was the menu stated the plates came with additional items (e.g. tomato, onion, pickles, etc.) however none of this was included. Additionally the place could use a good clean. The floors were sticky. We did not sit down to eat so I cannot comment on the seating or anything else. read more

Fresh food, local owned, GOOD people, GREAT owner, and even more important, AMAZING TASTE! By far the best Mediterranean Food I have ever had and after seeing the kitchen, it is clean and the food is, as I said, all local and fresh from the spices to the amazing meats. Whether your diet is about longevity, fat loss or you just want a GOOD meal, this is a MUST go! This destroys any big-business chain restaurant. So worth it! What do I recommend? Any dish is amazing but the spicy chili chicken dish is beyond good and I don't even like spicy food. Even the vegetarian dishes would make any meat lover come back for seconds and fourths. read more

First of all, I just want to say how AMAZING the customer service is!!! This place is such a joy to come and visit and eat at. I feel like I'm friends with all of their staff! It has a very clean and homey feel in the restaurant. I have no complaints. I have yet to run into an issue with this great establishment. I will say the prices went up but, the price is WORTH IT!!! The food is delicious. It's savory, full of flavor. I cant get enough of this place. The portions they give you are more than enough to make you full. I always end up taking some home. The garlic and hot sauce are to DIE FOR!!! So so good! The food is so fresh and the service is so fast. If you're ever hungry and don't know where to go, definitely come here!!! I wish I could post a photo of my food but, I ate it all already because it's that GOOD. read more
