I had the BEST time here. Mohammed is the sweetest man ever!! He checked on us and you can tell he truly cares about his costumers' experience there. I had a Mediterranean salad with chicken on top. DELICIOUS (and I don't eat salads that much). 10/10 everything. Also there's a nice aesthetic there and nice bathroom too. read more

Fresh and tasty! Clean, quiet, chill place to grab a quick bite. I really enjoyed my falafel wrap and my boyfriend enjoyed his chicken shawarma. Friendly service and beautiful scenic photos along the main wall. read more

This is THE BEST Middle Eastern restaurant in this area hands down!!! And what makes them stand out the most compared to the other ones nearby is 1) the number of spices they use for their meats 2) they have pickles for their plates which most Middle Eastern joints don't use 3) they grill a couple of vegetables which most places do not 4) they use fresh pita bread warmed up for you 5) they use authentic rice (most places nowadays are using the cheap rice). I came in thinking I was going to get a decent meal but I was taken by surprise at how amazing the meal was! Even their garlic sauce was so good and not too garlicky! The young gentlemen were very cordial and friendly and the place was nice and clean! The place was very inviting! Very good restaurant of the Levant!!! You gotta check it out! read more

Pita Express - Mixed Kabob Plate (3 skewers) with some chicken shawarma included... So good!!! - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Everything the staff made was excellent and you could tell they put a lot of care into it. At first glance when we went in the prices looked a little high but once we had our food there were no complaints - the prices felt spot on and the food was undeniably tasty. We ordered a chicken schwarma wrap and a falafel pita, opting for the up charge for the pita. Both sandwiches were great but the wrap was definitely a bit better and made pretty good leftovers later. We had the fries too and they were amazing, hot, and salty. If you go for a quick lunch pad in a few extra minutes as they make the food fresh so it did take a little longer than I was expecting, but the wait was worth it. read more

We were excited when Mediterranean came to our area. Pita Express doesn't disappoint. They have a wide selection of options on the menu. The indoor seating area is nice and clean and there is also outdoor seating. We've tried quite a few items from their menu and have never been disappointed. Food is always made fast and with fresh ingredients. Staff is friendly. read more

Pita Express - Beef Kofta Kabob Wrap - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Just ordered beef tenderloin kabob wrap which was amazingly delightful. Flavors just exploded in my mouth. The right amount of red onion, tomato and pickles with tahini sauce made this wrap, surprisingly the best I've had. Little pricey but worth every bite. If you order fries, plan to share. Will definitely be back. read more

For some reason, I had a sudden urge for a great gyro. Living in Chicago, this was an easy as well as complicated mission with so many places to choose from. Luckily I settled on this place. The gyro that I had from here was amazing! Everything was well prepared, well seasoned and delicious! As a bonus the baklava was an amazing treat. I placed an online order and the food was hot and ready when I arrived. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant very clean, and the timing perfect. read more

It was a nice and quiet afternoon lunch with my daughter's BF. They had highly recommended Pita Express for its fresh and tasty dishes. I forgot what I ordered. The host recommended the combo that came with their famous fries. Check out my pic I loved it and the hospitality was great:) The interior is modern and clean. I can't wait to come back! read more

Found this place and I'm so happy I did. This food is absolutely delicious. Very fresh ingredients used and staff is friendly. They have a wide variety of offerings for vegetarians. Highly recommended. Easy parking in front and restaurant is very clean. read more

While visiting from Los Angeles we stopped for a quick bite and we were pleasantly pleased with this sweet little spot! The falafel was amazing! Great flavor with a crunchy outside and soft inside! Mohammad had a great presence and genuine smile. You can really see he cares about the customer experience and his freshly made foods. If you're in the area stop by for fresh healthy food! read more

Pita Express - Mohammed thank you for the best falafels! - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Everyone was super nice and working hard. The food was tender and amazing! Will def be back!

Beef kofta wrap hit the spot. I wish I ordered more. Their name kind of undersells all that's on their menu. They offer most of the same things as Sultan's Market, not just pitas. read more

Got a falafel pita and got a soup along with it! Very fast and friendly service. Food was fresh to order! Definitely an easy spot for a fast, yummy lunch meal. Very clean and new! read more

Stopped by and tried their gyros salad. It was delicious! Definitely coming back to try the other food.

Pita Express hits all the right marks for Middle Eastern fast cuisine. Great hummus, falafel, schwarma, fries, etc. The folks here are nice, courteous, and efficient. I used to go to Zam Zam, which I still recommend, but no longer need to venture outside of the neighborhood. PE is right outside of the brown line station and off route 50, so getting here is convenient. Parking isn't really a problem either. read more

Pretty good! No complaints but I will say it is not the same as pita inn ( I thought it was) but it's still a good spot to eat at :)

I stopped in about a month ago, when I was getting over a cold. I was looking forward to the healing medicine of lentil soup. And the image I had in mind was Pita Inn in Glenview. Unfortunately the lentil soup was very thin and watery. And the chicken shawarma I got was also small. The prices however were not small, given what I was used to at Pita Inn. (Similar names, different ownership.) read more

This place is convenient, right off the Damen stop. Staff is so nice and gave us some hot sauce for our meal. All of the sauces are incredible, but the hot sauce is a stand out. Everything was made fresh and to order. Place was clean and perfect escape from the cold weather outside. Cant recommend enough the gyros plate. read more

Pita Express - The gyros plate was amazing. The hot sauce was perfect. 10/10 would go again. Very friendly staff. - Salad Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As a fellow Middle Easterner, I am ecstatic that there is a new amazing Middle Eastern restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is absolutely delicious with generous portion sizes. The restaurant is immaculate. The falafel wrap that I tried yesterday was absolutely delicious, the fries, shawarma and other items are incredibly delicious as well! The falafel wrap at Pita Express is the best that I have tried! read more

This place is wonderful! I love having a great Mediterranean restaurant in the neighborhood and the staff are so incredibly welcoming. I came with my family and there were options for everyone's preferences. I would absolutely recommend! read more

Best gyro ever and I really meant it guys! The young lady that took my order is so fine! Don't just believe me ...TRY IT!

Just finished my meal and I ran to Yelp to say how delicious it was! I loved every bit of my Chicken Shawarma Platter. It was made fresh to order and it was incredibly flavorful! I highly recommend you try it if you're on the north side of Chicago. Service was great and the guy who took the order was helpful! Lastly, the restaurant wad really clean and smelled delicious when I walked in. Can't wait to go again and try something else on the menu. read more

We have eaten takeout from here several times and it is excellent. Once we ordered a platter for five people which contained many different items-all tasty. As good as any other middle eastern restaurant in the area. read more

I have eaten at many similar Mediterranean/Arabic establishments over the years, but Pita Express' freshness and quality are a notch above the competition. Everything is made to order with a lot of care. read more

It took a while (over 30 mins) to get my order. Chicken kabob wrap 4/5, tasty meat but veggies were a bit soggy. Lentil soup 1/5, disappointing as it was too salty. read more

Service and ambiance was fine but the food itself was greasy and not fresh. French fries were especially greasy and deep fried for too long. Same with the chicken shawarma. I'm not sure why they have high reviews to be honest. read more

Honestly, Lincoln Square has needed something like this. Fantastic food, great service and the best French fries I've had in Chicago. My only wish was that they were open even later! read more

I am so impressed by this restaurant! Super fresh and delicious food at a reasonable price. Very generous servings and extremely tasty. Such a great new addition to the neighborhood. read more

The owners of Pita Express did a wonderful job renovating and updating this location by the Damen Brownline stop. The inside looks wonderful, and they now have a very cute outdoor patio area. The food is terrific. I tried the chicken shawarma wrap meal and my wife had falafels and hummus. Everything was prepared wonderfully. The staff were attentive and friendly. Being originally from the burbs, I think I have found a Mediterranean restaurant on par with Pita Inn near my home. They are such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys Mediterranean food. read more

I am so thrilled Pita Express is in my neighborhood! I have eaten lunch here two days in a row because it is so good! The food is fresh, flavorful, and the staff friendly. I've tried two different wraps now and both were excellent. I will be back again and again for sure! read more
