Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Naperville

After frequenting Pita Inn and Naf Naf, we thought we would try a new Middle Eastern joint and saw Pita Pita.

First, the service was super friendly. However, it did take almost 25 minutes to get out take out order (3 entrees). The restaurant was kept fairly clean also.

The loaded fires were good but the chicken was dry.

The chicken shawarma bowl was fine but there wasn't any memorable or crave worthy taste/ flavor.

The vegetarian plate was not great. The best part was the lettuce. The falafel were crispy on the outside but mushy on the inside. Whatever oil is being used gives the falafel an odor that is similar to a McDonald's fish sandwich. That is gross and unappetizing if you're a vegetarian. The hummus was good but not as good as Pita Inn or Naf Naf. The baba ganoush was actually heat with a good flavor.

The harissa (red sauce) tasted like spicy ketchup. Not great. Too sweet.

The tahini had a tangy after taste and tasted more like yogurt. Not enough sesame.

In all, it was worth a try and the quantities were good. But, the food was not good enough especially for the...

I don’t understand the negative reviews at all—perhaps they’re the reason this place maintains such high standards. The bathrooms are also exceptionally clean.

I’ve visited this location twice, and both times the food was outstanding. As a Mediterranean food enthusiast, I can confidently say this restaurant surpasses Pita Inn, Halal Guys, Naf Naf Grill, and Jerusalem Cafe in both flavor and quality.

While the portion sizes are smaller compared to other establishments, they are surprisingly satisfying. The pricing is competitive.

The meats are tender, juicy, and expertly prepared. Presentation is excellent, the food arrives at the perfect temperature, and the timing is on point. My only critique is the ordering kiosk—I prefer interacting with a live person.

As a former restaurant owner with extensive industry experience, I can say this place is top-notch. It’s possible that inconsistent kitchen staff contributes to some of the negative reviews, but both of my visits have been exceptional.

Definitely...

This is one of the better pita restaurants I’ve dined at. Friendly service. There is definitely has a small- business feel & vibe in this place, so I really want it to succeed and thrive! Very spacious and clean. The booths conveniently have usb ports for customers. The digital kiosk where you place your order is really user-friendly. It’s great to be able to customize your meal with your preferred toppings.

As for the taste? Very enjoyable. There was nothing unique about chicken shawarma pita I had, but the portion size was just right and had my preferred condiments. I shared their fries with my daughter -very crispy. They brought the food to our table, which was a scale up in customer service compared to other pita restaurants.

My daughter ordered the kids chicken meal with rice and fries which was similar to an adult portion (not Texas). This place is very kid friendly.

The only gripe I have was the ketchup brand they used was really cheap. It’s worth spending a few extra bucks...
