We both ordered the lunch combo, which came with a choice of meat, rice, and tabbouleh. I chose the mixed meat option, and every single meat was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and seasoned so well. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. There was plenty of seating, and it was great to see so many people stopping in to enjoy a meal, which speaks to how popular this local gem is. I love supporting locally owned restaurants, especially when the food is this good. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Palestinian food, I highly recommend Pita Pita.

This is a nice, small Middle Eastern market compared to Souq Fresh Market in Lombard. Souq is very big.

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.

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.

Have to immediately put this out there... service was great!!…read more I yelped fast casual on a road trip. Amba was a little off off 55 but o simply didn't want some of the more traditional fast casual spots. So we selected Amba. We pulled up, and there was one table of customers. The atmosphere Ilic's clean but had a hamburger joint feel to it. I started to question if this was the right choice. If you stop reading before what I have to say below, trust me you'll love this place. We walked up to the digital menu which has a feel of a franchise even through the rest of the restaurant feels like an independent mom/pop joint. So I order a bowl- rice, greens, falafel, cucumber/tomato mix, picked onions, olives, traditional. Hummus and feta. Then we get to the sauce... I'm simply overwhelmed with all the choices. The nice man behind the counter gave me a little dollop of 5-6 sauces and they were all amazing... ! You can't go wrong with any of them. I went with The Amba sauce but really they all were so flavorful! My bowl was huge! More than I could eat in one sitting (similar to the quantity of a chipotle bowl which I also can never finish). The falafel!!! Oh my! Probably one of the most flavorful falafel that I've ever had. Yum! Yum. Yum! My husband had the chicken shawarma ... he said his was awesome, I'm pretty sure awesome chicken shawarma was no where as good as my falafel. I'm not a soda drinker, but if I was, I'd be super excited about their no HFCS soda. All flavors are made with real cane sugar! I was super happy with yelp's suggestion.

She even was so kind to tell me the sauces they serve with the meal are GF and those were absolutely delicious - they made the meal in my opinion! She told me 15-20 minutes for the to-go order but pretty sure it came out faster than that. We enjoyed looking at all the decor while we waited - very cozy and ethnic vibes!

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 portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too.

3 Chefs Persian

3 Chefs Persian Cuisine was a pretty mixed experience for us…read more The restaurant itself is more fast-casual than traditional sit-down Persian dining; think somewhere between a Panera and Chipotle in terms of setup and atmosphere. It was clean enough and perfectly fine for a casual meal, but definitely not somewhere I'd go expecting an upscale experience. We ordered the koobideh and shish combo with basmati rice. The meat was decent overall, though not especially tender. The koobideh leaned a little dry, while the shish had better flavor, but neither really stood out compared with some of the better Persian food I've had. The rice was another weak point for me; it wasn't quite as light and fluffy as I like, didn't seem buttered, and definitely could've used more salt. Our food also took about 30 minutes to come out. There was a large group of roughly 10 people ahead of us, so I'm sure that contributed, but it was still a pretty long wait for what feels like a fast-casual concept. Service was another middle-of-the-road part of the experience. The woman at the counter wasn't rude, but she wasn't particularly warm or welcoming either. I was also a little confused by the menu advertising that they can make essentially any Persian dish. I asked about ghormeh sabzi and was told they didn't have it that day, then asked about dill rice after seeing photos of it online and was told they only had white basmati available. One other thing worth noting: our receipt included a 5% transaction service fee, which added a few extra dollars to the bill. Overall, there were no deal-breakers, but there also wasn't much that really wowed me. The food was decent, portions were fair, and I'd come back if I happened to be in the area and was craving Persian food. But as a destination? There are definitely stronger options. Solid 3/5 for me. Not bad, just not particularly memorable.

I chose the Chicken Koobideh which was so juicy, I was shocked! I've had good Koobideh, but never this juicy and tender! Strong flavor, and hint of saffron, a true delight. I also ordered the Ghormeh Sabji - which is a soya (dill) based green stew with meat and beans, and when it first comes to the table, you're thinking this looks and smells like henna paste, but the taste is so beautifully complex - savory, bitter, buttery, and pure deliciousness in every bite!!!!! A must try for something different. Husband ordered the lamb shank, and it was tender and fall off the bone! The meat was soft and unctuous. It was served with this roasted garlic bulb that was roasted to perfection, taking the harshness of the garlic away and replacing it with a soft, buttery, jammy garlicky goodness that is to DIE for!!!! Lastly, my mom got the lamb and beef Koobideh and said it was soft and juicy as well. After food, we had their tea and it is absolute perfection. I take mine sweetened, but even unsweetened my mother found it perfect! Lastly, don't sleep on the DOOGH! That's that fermented yogurt drink that is tart, salty, and super refreshing! I almost didn't even wanna tell yall about it, but I reminded myself that gatekeeping is a cardinal sin! And finally, the ambiance and the service is AMAZING. So gracious, so soft spoken, so generous and just kind to boot. The food is delicious but I'd come back just to see these smiling faces!!!

The interior of Petra is somewhat small with five small tables and one large table. There's also some cushy seating if you're waiting for a takeout order. The decor and artwork are nice for a fast food place. I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and a crazy Petra sandwich (which comes with chicken). I got the latter as a meal, so it came with a drink and fries. The beef shawarma was good. I enjoyed it, but it was slightly dry. Lately I've been digging the beef shawarma from Habibi In, which is nice and saucy. There were two sauces included, but they both seemed like tahini sauce. Usually it's one tahini and one garlic, but maybe the flavors were melding together. The crazy chicken shawarma was pretty good as well. But...I'm not sure of what to make of the pistachio sauce. By itself, the sauce was delicious; it was like having dessert. But I don't know if the mix of sweet and savory works for this. I actually enjoyed the fries with the pistachio sauce more than the shawarma with pistachio sauce. Speaking of which, the fries were nice and crispy but could have used some more seasoning.
