Pita BBQ

When Pita BBQ first opened in Streamwood, the food and service were fantastic. It was nice to see that they were doing well enough to open a second location in South Elgin, too. Sadly, the quality of the food, its preparation, and service have steadily declined since then.Today, I stopped at the South Elgin location for lunch since I was nearby. It had been close to a year since last eating there. I ordered a simple spicy falafel wrap and hoped that it wouldn't disappoint. It did. It was so disappointing. The falafel were mushy, not to mention tiny, and it wasn't spicy at all. By volume, there was more onion in the wrap than falafel as well. I have made far better at home. I will not be returning to Pita BBQ, either location. Far better falafel (food in general) can be found at Pita Pita or at Pita Inn.

Stopped by for lunch the other day with my kid. The people working there are super nice. The restaurant is a little dated and could use a deep clean and refresh. We got two pita's, a frie, and a drink. It was $30. So may other places to get lunch for less. My son just got meat on this pita, and it was good. I had it with everything and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is runny, and overpowered the sandwich. The fries were fresh and really good. Overall, it was expensive and just ok. I probably won't be back.

I got the falafel bowl and it came with all kinds of vegetables, rice, and falafel. It was all seasoned deliciously and the tahini sauce was delish (and vegan!) If you ever happen to find yourself hungry in south elgin, come here!

I was in Elgin and had dinner here on a Sunday. The restaurant looks more fast food like on the inside. The service was standard, order at the counter and find a table to sit. I opted for the spicy chili chicken from Yelp recommendations. The food was ready quickly and the portions were large enough to make two servings. The chili chicken was slightly spicy which was enough for me. The red color makes it look way more spicier than it actually is. The chicken had some good flavors and their creamy garlic sauce was so tasty. There was plenty of rice to accompany the chicken and the pita bread was soft and fresh. I was totally satisfied with my meal.

Surprisingly good Indian/greek casual spot. Although not a great spot for dining in, LOTS of people were popping in for pickup. I had the chicken kabob plate. It was $16 and too much for one seating. And the marinade/seasoning they used-delicious! It takes a minute to get food as it is cooked from scratch but because of that the chicken was tender and juicy which is challenging with small pieces like that. I would go out of my way again for it. Dinging one star for lack of atmosphere and disappointing dining room. If they could fix up the tables and chairs a bit, 5 stars for sure!

I'm ashamed to say how many times I've passed or been near here and we never gave it a try. Until recently when I really wanted some chicken shawarma. Food was so good & the service was so friendly. We rolled out the door, stuffed to the gills and took home leftovers. We will be back!

I haven't been to Pita BBQ since before the pandemic and so glad I came back. It was my mom's first time and she was in love. The have the best falafel (so light and fluffy with a crispy exterior). My mom got the mixed meat plate. You get so much food! The staff was beyond friendly! We will definitely be back.

My employer had our holiday lunch supplied from Pita BBQ and it was FANTASTIC!!!! I don't live close to the restaurant (30 min away), but I can assure you I will be making the trek down Randall Rd to have dinner! really delicious, flavorful and the Falafel was the best I've ever had. The pita was fresh and tender and I chose the beef shawarma and garlic sauce from the selection we had and it was superb. In fact, just writing this review is making me hungry and a trek to So Elgin will be happening this weekend :-)

Excellent food and people! Particularly Mohammed!Also garlic sauce is addictive.Went for lunch and had the falafel bowl. It was huge and delicious. Definitely one piece f my top places to eat.

Love this place & the owner! Makes me feel like I'm part of the family. I ordered their Gyro sandwich and my boyfriend got their combination feast! So worth every penny. The service here is always so kind and welcoming.
