Baba 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"

“واااااااااااااااو Have you ever popped up somewhere just hoping for a glass of cold water and find yourself drinking a cool, refreshing glass of homemade doogh/ ayran with fresh mint leaves and then walked out of the restroom with whudu to get yourself prayed up from behind the curtains and on time for salaat and then salata while your Chef prepares the meal with such zest for cooking you hear the knives chopping and bowls banging in the kitchen like a symphony just for you and then you take one bite to eat ravished and dehydrated from the diabetes while trying to leave with your stomach 2/3 full of the most tender, juicy, fresh, delicious, Zabiha Halal Chenjeh Filet Minon Steak you ever tasted”
I placed an online order for pickup and received a confirmation text from the owner.
I wouldn’t feed this to any living being. Disgusting. 1 Star is way too much.

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.

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.

The food was really good.I got BP chicken shawarma platter. It came with rice and salad.The rice was very flavorful and chicken was also very tasty and juicy. We also got a separate falafel platter. Falafel is one of the best falafel I have ever tried. They were also freshly made. The person serving us was also super nice and kind.

واااااااااااااااو Have you ever popped up somewhere just hoping for a glass of cold water and find yourself drinking a cool, refreshing glass of homemade doogh/ ayran with fresh mint leaves and then walked out of the restroom with whudu to get yourself prayed up from behind the curtains and on time for salaat and then salata while your Chef prepares the meal with such zest for cooking you hear the knives chopping and bowls banging in the kitchen like a symphony just for you and then you take one bite to eat ravished and dehydrated from the diabetes while trying to leave with your stomach 2/3 full of the most tender, juicy, fresh, delicious, Zabiha Halal Chenjeh Filet Minon Steak you ever tasted ...so perfectly cooked that you had to pick it up and eat it with your fingertips because stabbing it with a fork would do it a grand ınjustice? Yeah. I thought so. Go meet Chef Noor and see for yourself the culinary magic going on in this neck of the woods.

I highly recommend this cozy and superb place!!! The owners are some of the friendliest and kind hearted people I’ve ever met. They make everyone feel so welcome and it shows in the quality of their service and food. I love this restaurant I would eat here everyday. The prices are great, the ingredients taste fresh and their dessert selection is delicious too.

“One of the best middle eastern/mediterranean places in the city.”
One of the best middle eastern/mediterranean places in the city! The meats are exploding with flavor. I always get the beef kufta wrap and it never fails to disappoint. Falafels are crispy, flavorful, and not oily. Very reasonably priced. Great service. I always crave this place.
