We used to love this place - for the price it was good.
— Golda Bless Tan

They put more sauce in the wrap then meat.$20 for a wrap with hardly any meat and a soup. Place is a total rip-off.

“Absolutely delicious food.”

Absolutely delicious food. The place is very clean. Walking in, delicious smells hit you right away and make you hungry right away. The staff was helpful in deciding what to get. Many drink options. Price seems reasonable.

“Went here with a friend last night.”

Went here with a friend last night. I had gotten it previously thru DoorDash when I’d had Covid last year, so I wanted to try it in person. It was delicious! Big portions (especially if you get any of the wrap meals; you get the long wraps with a side of fries), and the staff is very kind. Thank you so much again — I’ll be back :)

I am from San Fernando Valley in in visiting this Lincoln neighborhood, We found the most fresh, delicious, and authentic flavored and prepared food by friendly people. Definitely recommended, drop in! Update: Yes, I came back! You very kindly remembered our group. I talked about returning to Pita Express when I returned to Chicago. Definitely not disappointed, the restaurant is clean, food is fresh and wonderfully delicious, freshly prepared, don't forget special sauces! Thank you!

Ordered the family plate for 5 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Food was absolutely delectable. I've been frequenting this place since January and I'll continue to return here in the future!

“We were looking for something similar to NafNaf and found Pita Express Rest.”

We were looking for something similar to NafNaf and found Pita Express Rest. SO good. Big variety of options. Really big portions. Very friendly and helpful employees. Gave me some of the secret and garlic sauces which were really good. I ate until I was full and I was still able to take home a full meal for lunch tomorrow. Will definitely come back when I’m around this part of the city.

“Great place for a quick bite- whether it’s lunch or dinner or a snack in between.”

Great place for a quick bite- whether it’s lunch or dinner or a snack in between. Great service & loved the wraps presented on a wood chopping board for dining in. The fries were crispy & just right. All Zabiha Halal meat! Owner was friendly & food was great! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Ravenswood neighbourhood.

“Absolutely delicious Mediterranean spot for to-go and casual dine-in.”

Absolutely delicious Mediterranean spot for to-go and casual dine-in! I loved the baba ghanoush and hummus. The vegetarian platter was delicious and had great portions sizes. I tried my girlfriend's gyros and enjoyed them too.
