Baba Pita - Middle Eastern Scratch Kitchen and Bakery

This place is out of business!

I wouldn’t feed this to any living being. Disgusting. 1 Star is way too much.

I chose this place following the 4.8⭐️ rate on Google maps. It was a huge mistake.
Showed up at the restaurante for a take out, the place looks abandoned. A man was cutting the concrete sidewalk with a big saw. I rang the bell and a young lady with very nasty manners asked me to stay outside and place my order over the phone.
Followed her instructions and order lunch for two. I was asked to come back in 10’. I came back after 15’ and they asked me to wait next to the man with the saw and his loud noise. The lady didn’t even let me in to pay. I had to handle my phone for her to Apple Pay.
8 minutes later, the order was ready and I was able to come back with the food. Once I got home we opened the containers and got completely shocked. What it was inside was the worst meal ever. Almost $50 of gross nauseating food. The beef was black as coal. Dry by many times reheated. The rice overcooked and soggy. The chicken also dry and reheated.
Baklava??? Well, this old and dry piece of filo pastry with almost no pistachio at all does not count as baklava.
We threw it out without even thinking.

If you don’t want to be ripped off, stay away of this place.

Baba Pita has great chicken dishes, but the beef shawarma is the best I've ever eaten. The owner really knows how to prepare beef. I also recommend the beef kefta. Their freshly made drinks are excellent as well.

Wonderfull- They have really great food and the manager is one pf the most wonderful person I've ever met. I would suggest everyone to try their falafel and bakhlava ?

Me and my co-workers order lunch from here a lot. Never have been disappointed. Some of the best middle eastern food in Chicago. Definitely recommend anything with chicken shawarma and the pita chips.

Went in to sit with friends and didn't order anything but the help was gorgeous! Both of em

Food was cold and Disgusting

First time ordering from here. I ordered a Baba bowl with chicken shawarma. The food tasted real, not overly processed and had very good seasoning. A very savory delicious meal. I received amazing customer service. Thank you, I will definitely be coming back!
