Pita Inn

Pita Inn - Wheeling

Pita Inn invokes memories of a time long gone .. when I was looking for a job and money was sparse. Pita Inn played its part by serving lip-smacking, healthy and inexpensive food. Its a mediterranean place and we used to frequent the one in Wheeling .. right on Elmhurst St. The place is freaking packed during lunch .. and you will see all kinds of vehicles in the parking lot .. right from old dirty pickups, to swanky new Mercedes. Which is why I used to go in the late afternoons, park my rickety GrandAm in the emptying lot and enjoy a delicious, filling lunch with my friends.

The falafel is amongst the best I have tasted .. its crispy on the outside and moist and grainy on the inside. The hummus is good too and comes with warm Pita. Quite a lot of vegetarian options keep the veggie-ppl happy and succulent shish and lamb kababs keep the rest fully satisfied. The portions are huge and the combos make a good meal.
