Stopped by to try this place, I've been wanting to eat here for a while now. I have to say that the food was ok, overpriced for ok food... even a canned drink was overpriced at $5... wouldn't recommend it, but that's just me.

Tasty food and this guy is so nice!! The soup is so so good. And the Jerusalem salad. Love the canned juices in the cooler! Huge cans of 100% juice in flavors we can't get elsewhere like passion fruit & watermelon. Generous portions, casual atmosphere. Appreciate the padding on the chairs. It's a relaxing place to eat. My family says the food is "amazing" "pita and hummus and shawarma are quite good.". We'll be back.

I eat mid eastern food from restaurants all week long and this one is definitely one of the best if not the best. The owner really trys to craft masterpieces with every meal I've never had a bad experience here or mediocre experience like other places. Interesting take on stuff lil different than run of the mill places you won't be disappointed.

If you're searching for the best falafel in town, look no further than Mr. Pita! This delightful Mediterranean restaurant in Gurnee has quickly become my go-to spot, and it’s easy to see why.
First and foremost, the falafel here is simply outstanding. Crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside, each bite is bursting with flavor. They have mastered the art of seasoning, making their falafel a must-try for anyone, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to this dish.
Equally impressive is their lentil soup. It’s rich, hearty, and packed with wholesome ingredients that warm you up on even the chilliest days. The blend of spices and textures creates a comforting bowl that keeps you coming back for more.
The service at Mr. Pita is another highlight of the experience. The man behind the counter is incredibly welcoming and truly goes above and beyond for his customers. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and values everyone who walks through the door. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor make each visit feel special, and I always leave feeling appreciated and satisfied.
Overall, Mr. Pita is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine. With the best falafel and lentil soup in town, combined with exceptional service, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t recommend this place enough!
I was in the area and I stopped by for lunch, I got their falafel wrap and I was really really happy and satisfied with that. I appreciate what you guys do, your hard work shows, thank you.
Best middle eastern food I’ve ever had my whole life.

Some of the yummiest, most authentic in all of Illinois. Seriously good stuff and you won't go broke. Entrees are huge. Sammiches or wraps are plentiful. You won't go hungry either. Highly recommend. Friendly people. Thank you!
Great food, terrible service. Terrible service particularly on the part of an elderly bald man. Their service has gotten worse over the years.
