Great food, service is great, staff is friendly no complaints. I have been visiting the restaurant for a while and the food does not disappoint. My family loves the lentil soup.

Delicious food, fast service. The beef Shawerma and chicken kebab combo with hummus is perfect. Would totally recommend it, also a great catering option.

Best veggie food in the area! Go here for the freshest hommus plates, roasted eggplant dip (best babaganough I've ever had in Chicago) and delicious falafel made on premises with beautiful green moist insides. They also have fresh squeezed juices-yay. Pita bread is not made at the restaurant though it's decent-boo hoo. Generally, most everything I've had is consistently highest quality all the time and the prices are fair. The service is always good too, no complaints. The atmosphere is nothing fancy just chill and clean vibes. Get a baklava for dessert if you have room.

I loved this place! Food is tasty, restaurant seems clean and fresh. I got a combo of beef, chicken and pita with salad, I’d say 10/10

A slice of Gaza right here in Chicago! This rare gem has the best falafel I've ever had in the US, crunchy on the outside, fluffy and perfectly seasoned on the inside. The shawarma platter was phenomenal, and the grilled fish was fresh and delicious. We also tried the mixed grilled platter with rice, quality and quantity are outstanding.
The owner of the restaurant made us feel right at home from the minute we walked in. Impeccable Palestinian hospitality, well worth the drive north.
We will definitely be back!

We order from this place all the time as it is quite close. The falafel is perfect, and when I order delivery it is still hot and crispy when it arrives. Having experience as a professional cook in a falafel restaurant, I understand that this means their timing and coordination are top of the line. Same goes for the french fries. I also love to order the shawarma and kifta wrap sandwiches, and we add lentil soup every time. The service is great too, and I wish I knew the name of one woman who is just a gem, so helpful and friendly whether dining in or ordering on the phone. They have desserts made by Nazareth Sweets just across the street as well, which are amazing. I can't recommend this place enough!!!
Vegetarian options: This type of food is good for vegetarians as meat is generally not a "hidden" ingredient. I would ask about the lentil soup but the falafel is one of the best items they have and is definitely vegetarian.
Kid-friendliness: The food is not spicy and they have french fries. Falafel and grape leaves are excellent finger foods.

Great food but the Asian lady never gives sauces. I spend $50-60 at a time and she wants to charge me for sauces. Unreal I'll continue to go to pita inn.

Tried them first when they catered lunch at my work. After trying the hummus and falafels, I was hooked! I don't even like falafels all that much, but these were the best I've ever had. A few weeks later, I ordered catering for a Friendsgiving I hosted. Owner (Faraj) was incredibly kind, generous and informative. Timing was going to be tight for me, so they delivered the food even though I was wellll outside their delivery area (12 miles). Even threw in some extra falafels for free. Food was amazing, all my friends had different favorites; I'll be a returning customer for life!

I have had falafel and falafel sandwiches at so many places in chicago.
This is by far the BEST falafel sandwich i have ever had in chicago. The outside is propeely crispy. The inside is soft. They put the right amount of tahini and vegetables.
