Pita Paradise is Paradise.
The food is totally by far the best around. Why travel downtown when the food here is much better! Worth the trip! Very affordable, high quality of meat and produce, excellent service, very clean and very customer friendly.    [21 Apr 2006 12:42:49]

Hell of a Place
With cuisine that's foreign to the average fat McDonald's eating American, Pita Paradise is something that entices your taste buds. Not only does it accomplish that, it keeps you healthy. Everything from the people, the environment, and the food is a must on a West suburban's to-do cuisine list. I've been waiting for a Mediterranean restaurant around here. Pita Paradise finally arrived, and it delivers.    [29 Sep 2006 14:12:07]

Exquisite!
The minute I first walked into this establishment, I would never have imagined that I would one day become a regular patron. As a Turkish-American (who has tasted the best of the best when it comes to Middle-Eastern food), I have become quite a critic of Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants in Chicagoland. However, the minute I took that first bite of beef shawarma, I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Pita Paradise has everything to offer: SUPERB and Traditional Hospitality, Astounding Dishes, and a Clean and Excellent Environment. Not only that, but they also offer traditional Middle-Eastern, tobacco water pipes for the 18+ crowd on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Why drive to the city for an Authentic Middle-Eastern experience when we have our own little jewel of Arabia right here in our own backyard?    [24 Feb 2007 01:49:48]

great
Very casual and small seating inside, but the food is good and fast. They have a plasma TV inside and the owner is nice to talk to if you stay but we mostly take out.    [11 Mar 2007 19:24:14]

Love it!
Pita Paradise is easily the greatest Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. The food is very authentic, delicious and affordable. Furthermore, the owners are EXTREMELY hospitable and generous making the atmosphere very welcoming and delightful, almost as if you've been invited to their home for a homemade meal. It makes you want to come back for their company. The newly instated hookah bar has become a great weekend hang out place that we look forward to going to. We highly recommend this restaurant.    [26 Mar 2007 23:22:43]

tried it for the first time yesterday
I've always driven by the place on the way to diana's for dogs or gyros, i finally went in pita paradise on a friday and tried the friday special, braised lamb. which came with 2 sides, rice, and 2 pita pockets, I was blown away. VERY good, the meat was delicious, priced very affordable, i dont think i will be going to Diana's as much anymore after eating at pita paradise, actually I think I will go there for dinner tonight. After eating all the normal "fast food" that is around the suburbs, Pita Paradise offers something different for a change! highly recommended    [14 Apr 2007 16:16:25]

Pita-less Paradise in Kihei
Dinner was very bad and over priced. I ended up having Italian (Chicken Parm) and Chicken Caesar salad (15.00 salad and very very small) because SURPRISE there are no Pita Bread items for dinner in 'Pita Paradise'. To sum it up I would stay away from dinner and Mediterranean restaurants should not try and serve Italian food.    [28 Jun 2007 20:56:10]

Hospitality, Humility, & Hummus
Pita Paradise is my go-to place for Middle Eastern food. I've traveled in Palestine, Jordan,and UAE and really enjoy this kind of cuisine. The shop is very humble in appearance but the food is fantastic. When I say humble, I mean it's no frills, but pleasant nonetheless. I esp. enjoy the flat screen TV, often playing Arabic news channels or Arabic music videos. The hummus and falafel are the most authentic I have tasted in the Western Suburbs. I've sampled almost everything on the menu - and have enjoyed it all. The owners are always hospitable and truly go the extra mile. I've eaten here consistently for two years and have even begun to use them for work-events and family parties of 20 people or so. You really should try it at least once. Oh yeah - they also have hookahs.    [24 Dec 2007 00:24:42]
