Baba Pita - Mediterranean & Persian Cuisine
Leyla A · 111 Google reviewsBaba Pita - Mediterranean & Persian Cuisine — trusted middle eastern in Pilsen. Tight but comfortable, like someone's living room. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Family-run. Qurrat: "The kebabs are the absolute standout, perfectly seasoned and juicy" [$]

“Found this gem on our way to the United Center. Such incredible food - obviously made to order with fresh ingredients and soo tasty!! Loved our server too. Parking was on the street which was ok for us as we came at a less busy time. Definitely recommend and would come here again in a heartbeat!”
“My fiancée and I visited Baba Pita on the day that we moved to the city and were met with such kind service and delicious food that keeps us coming back. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the hummus, dolmas, chicken kabobs, baklava, and strawberry mint lemonade are some of my favorites.”
“Delightful, flavorful filling food; however, you won’t feel stuffed or uncomfortable after eating. Service is great. We always take to go and we appreciate the comfy spot to wait. Highly recommend this restaurant!!”
“First time eating there since they changed management yesterday. This food was so good my boyfriend and I can’t wait to go back!”
“Good thing I showed up hungry because the plates were heavy! Wanted to give them a try since I live around the neighborhood was not disappointed. The server was nice and recommended me the dish that I had. The food was very fresh and tasteful. I enjoyed the lentil soup.”
“Amazing music, the food is so incredible, staff was so friendly and nice! Highly recommend the lunch special!”
“DINE IN OPEN AGAIN!!! I have been waiting to be able to sit down and enjoy the delicious hummus and kabobs. Super glad to be back”
“The food was lovely, especially the strawberry mint lemonade! Great service. Chill atmosphere. I had a falafel wrap. It was good. Comes with fries. I would come back again and try more variety of dishes. :)”
“Well the food was decent rice was good and meat wasnt dry but needed a little seasoning a salad was fresh. The mattress and box spring in the restaurant was doing way to much.”
“I placed an online order for pickup and received a confirmation text from the owner. I drove over to pickup my food and the door was locked. I knocked on the door, and as soon as I did so I saw them turn the lights off inside. Mind you, the restaurant was still supposed to be open according to the hours posted online, and I arrived 5 mins earlier than the time they said my food would be ready. Please refund me. Wasting people’s time, money, and gas. Update: It has been over 2 weeks and this business seems to not want to refund me unless I take my 1 star review down — even though I’ve received no food. He stopped replying to me 8 days ago. It’s so embarrassing the way this owner lacks basic integrity. I’ve went ahead and started a fraud dispute with Amex. Have the year you deserve! :)”
