Pita Mediterranean Grill - Evanston

We were on campus for a swim meet and decided to stop by this restaurant afterward since we were really hungry. The food was excellent, and it was a nice spot to sit and chat while we ate. The service was great, and there was plenty of food.

Absolutely outstanding! This is one of the finest kebab establishments around. The quality of the food is remarkable, with authentic spices and generous portions that are great for sharing. The chicken shawarma features whole breasts and thighs, rather than fatty ground meat, and has a crispy edge while remaining moist—perfectly charcoal grilled! The kebabs are excellently marinated, and the luleh is all meat, mixed with chopped onion and fresh parsley, without any fillers. The salad includes fresh romaine, chopped cucumber, and tomatoes, rather than cheap iceberg lettuce. The baba ghanoush is exceptional! This place is a gem and definitely a go-to spot for a quick meal or a casual night out. Plus, the owner, Sargon, is incredibly nice and a very gracious host.

Pita 1 is an outstanding takeout spot. The food is fantastic considering the low prices. I highly recommend it!

The food was excellent! The portion sizes are huge for a very reasonable price.

Truly amazing! The wood-fired chicken is exceptional. I can't understand how they make a profit on the Akshay Platter, as it offers such a generous amount of food. Definitely an A+ for value!
