    Grape Leaves
    George D.

    Went here for a business lunch recommended by my colleague. Got a variety plate that included hummus, pita, rice, falafel, grape leaves. It was all very good. The grape leaves were served cold and have no meat. I prefer the warm grape leaves with at least beef and preferably lamb. The hummus was on point and the falafel was very good. Service was quick and friendly. The dining area is spacious and not too noisy. Good spot for lunch if you are in the area.

    Everything was phenomenal . This is some of the fluffiest falafel I have ever had. Everything is noticeably fresh, will definitely be back.

    Chicken shawarma wrap with basmati rice

    New to Mediterranean lifestyle. Looked on Yelp for a good place nearby and this one came up. Husband and I both ordered chicken shawarma wraps (lunch special). They were out of fries so we got rice instead. Fantastic food, big portions. Decided to try baklava for a treat and they gave it to us free. Great service, nice little restaurant...can't wait to have lunch here again!

    Good Mediterranean food in Bolingbrook. We ordered meat combo entree, grape leaves and baklava. The meat combo was delicious and included chicken kabobs, beef kefta, chicken shawarma, pita, hummus, salad and falafel. This dish gives you a variety of options and portion size was adequate for two people. Large selection of items on the menu and they also serve American food. Thank you

    Falafel Wrap
    Anusha D.

    Tried this place with my husband for dinner. We started off with grape leaves which were good. We then had Falafel Wrap and Mixed Grill. The falafel wrap was just ok so does the mixed grill. The sauces weren't as great as I feel they've water those down specifically the hot sauce. The ambiance was just ok. The service wasn't great as the server was confused with our order and we've to remind him with the ordered items.

    Pita Zone was so good! The service and atmosphere was great and the food was phenomenal. We got the Mix Grill Platter and Shawarma Platter and the portion sizes fed four people comfortably. The employees and owner were very helpful and kind. We will definitely be coming back.

    THE PITA AND THE PENDULUM   My opinion of this Mediterranean restaurant has swung from 'good' to 'needs improvement'.   Pita Zone is in a Bolingbrook strip mall at the intersection of Weber Rd & Hassert; in this same area are a Subway, Dairy Queen and Otobo, our neighborhood sushi spot.   You might be better off ordering online; when I placed an order in-person for a gyro and wrap, it took 20 minutes before it was ready.  TWENTY.  That's a long time for a couple of fairly speedy items.  Down the street, COVO or Fill-a-Pita can whip this up for you in 4-5 minutes, tops.   Of these three places that offer gyros, Pita Zone's was the cheapest ($7.50).  Theirs was also the only one that included pickles on the sandwich (which my wife wasn't a fan of), but otherwise the gyro was fine.  You can add fries and a drink for $3.50.   I liked the beef shawarma wrap ($8.50) that came with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, hummus and tahini sauce.  The lentil soup ($4) tasted pretty good.  I've gotten meat combos ($15) in the past that were fairly yummy and a decent value.   Last visit, I specifically asked for a side of yellow rice but they gave me a side of fries--and they weren't even good ones!  I was really looking forward to that delicious Mediterranean rice (I even clarified yellow rice in case they misheard me, but apparently that didn't do sh*t).   Just as I was getting my drink and leaving, I saw a bunch of ants in the soda fountain drip tray.  Not just a few, but a horde of black ants all over the place.  Apart from a rat stealing pizza, ants are one of the LAST things a customer wants to see at a restaurant.  Eeeeeee.   * TL;DR *   Pita Zone gets a 4/10 on the kebab-o-meter: despite some signs of promise (good value, decent tasting food), there were also lots of issues (inaccurate order, long wait times, bug sightings).   While I'm happy to support small businesses like this one, I think PZ's shortcomings have ruled themselves out of conversation at this point.  COVO/Fill-a-Pita are technically chains, but at least they've got their act together and I'm willing to pay a bit more for that professionalism.   Could do worse.  Could do better.

    Fattoush Salad And Falafel Wrap
    Steve A.

    A pretty good place to get in the zone for a pita and falafel. In Bolingbrook there's a shopping center and it has a few restaurants including this one. Pita Zone is among the better places. Fairly good prices on most of the items. The menu is friendly to vegetarians. Get a pita because it's what they focus on of course. It has a few to choose from. They have the usual kinds such as the Falafel Wrap. It's $6.99 for a pretty big one. This comes with cucumbers, hummus, lettuce, onions, pickles, tahini, and tomatoes. A nice thing is that it actually comes with plentiful falafel. This is crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. A difference from other places is that it's not burnt. The best sides include the Fattoush Salad. It's $3.99 for a pretty big one. This has a vinaigrette dressing with cucumbers, mixed lettuce, onions, parsley, romaine, and tomatoes. Has some pretty good and healthy items. It also has pretty low prices. There's lots to choose for vegetarians.

    Went to pick up my order, brought it home, totally different than the food I had a couple of months ago. The shrawma was chopped and not shaved like usual. The falafel had a strange taste, and was harder texture than normal. When I bit into my chicken "shrawma" there was a bone in it! The hummus was so sour (I'm hoping from lemon juice) I couldn't even eat it! So disappointed, not going back!

I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made. I'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.

Taste of Jerusalem is the kind of place that reminds you why you should never judge a restaurant by its zip code or its signage. Tucked into a perfectly forgettable strip mall in Plainfield, this little spot is quietly serving some of the best food in the area and I am genuinely annoyed it took me this long to find it. The chicken kabob plate was a revelation. Massive portions of beautifully marinated chicken laid over a split of white rice and spicy rice. That spicy rice deserves its own paragraph. Fragrant, deeply spiced, with a slow building heat that lingers just long enough to keep pulling you back for another bite. Addicting is the only word for it. The hummus was exactly what hummus should be, fresh, delicious, also addictive. I added falafel and pita and those falafel were genuinely among the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, not a trace of that greasy heaviness that ruins lesser versions. Just fragrant, spiced, crispy little bites that I genuinely savored. My partner got the chicken wrap and said every component worked together without competing, tasted fresh, and left him full without feeling heavy. High praise from a man who knows his way around a wrap. The space is clean and simple. You order from a kiosk. None of that matters because the husband and wife team running the grill are pouring obvious passion into every plate and it comes through in every single bite. Plainfield has a gem here. Treat it accordingly.

The most gracious and humble hosts - paying attention to every detail and stopping at nothing to bring whatever the customer wants to fruition. We don't realize that the place closes at 8:00 pm, and just kept chomping and socializing - they never once pointed it out to us. I begin with them because they were the friendliest folks, and their service was truly remarkable. Then comes the food - my goodness, the food. Let's begin with the Harira. Perfectly seasoned, but for me, it requires a little more salt (which is personal preference) and a pop of acid like lemon to bring out its true flavor. Overall, a really comforting, rich soup without being heavy or cloying. Then came the Moroccan seasoned potatoes - oooooweeee! These were little nuggets of pure deliciousness. Seasoned to perfection, crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside and every bite kept you wanting to go back for more. Then the lamb shank tagine - ummmm, excuse me?!?! What do you mean the meat is like butter? It literally falls off the bone and dissolves in your mouth. Rich, fatty, unctuous and truly a delight. The bed of couscous it came with was also great - made better by the sauce from the lamb shank. The highlight of this plate were the roasted prunes that are part of the sauce. Sweet, jammy prunes cooked into the sauce made them just truly a delightful mouthfeel in comparison to the couscous and the scrumptious meat. To top it all off, the cherry on top, is their comforting Moroccan mint tea. So very fresh and the perfect end to an absolutely DELIGHTFUL meal. Highly recommended!!!

The gentleman serving us seemed to be the only one there, but he was friendly. We ordered a taktouka sampler, mixed grill platter, and lamb shank tagine. If you go to a Moroccan restaurant, you've got to get tagine. It took a little while for the food to come out, but overall it was excellent. The taktouka sampler was full of veggies. It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.

The mixture of beef and lamb is luxurious. Great blend and let's hear it for a good old fashioned char burger! The spices and sauce are subtle yet distinctive and unique. Wonderful flavors throughout. The fries are the larger/thick cut that I usually don't enjoy, but these were fried perfectly and had a great texture. Now I'm going to be nit picky on the build of the burger. And this is obviously personal preference. The burger patty is a generous size. However, the cheese was so melted and thin, I barely noticed. The onion was a raw white onion and also a generous cut. I would prefer a red onion or grill them. As it was, the onion kind of dominated the flavor. The tomato, pickles, and lettuce were all good, which added up to a tall build. Finally, a brioche bun. I know, the world loves a brioche bun. On a burger, I don't want the extra sweetness of brioche. Give me a good old potato bun or sesame seed bun instead. Nothing bad about any of the above. Great service, fast and friendly. I look forward to the dining room open and trying a gyro plate! I'll be back for sure.
