Overview & Highlights

Welcome to Pita Falafel Drive Thru & Grill, an outstanding Middle Eastern restaurant located at 10348 S Harlem Ave, Palos Hills, IL 60465. If you're in the mood for some authentic Mediterranean flavors, this corner eatery offers a delightful culinary journey through the heart of the Middle East, all from the convenience of a drive-thru.

Renowned for their exceptional shawarma, Pita Falafel has captured the love of many diners—from locals to frequent visitors from Chicago. Customers rave about the rich flavor and perfect seasoning of their dishes. As one patron, Harry Abdallah, shared, it's not just the food that impresses; it's the dedication of the staff. He recounts a humorous and heartwarming tale of how a team member, Muhammad, chased him down to return a forgotten shawarma, getting hit by a car in the process but still managing to deliver that sprinkled-with-love sandwich in perfect condition.

At Pita Falafel, you can expect an engaging dining atmosphere that combines speed with warmth, as echoed by Sandy Lomalie, who notes the friendly staff and efficient service. The drive-thru allows you to savor their sumptuous meals on-the-go, making it an ideal option for a quick yet satisfying experience. Whether you're pulling up in the late hours or enjoying a mid-day meal, the freshness and quality remain unsurpassed.

Among the standout offerings, the Chicken Mandi dinner has garnered admiration; it's a delightful combination of succulent chicken blended with perfectly spiced rice, complemented by their irresistibly creamy hummus. Duaa N and Jodie Bowen agree that the hummus is one of the creamiest and healthiest they've tasted, bringing natural flavors to every spoonful. For those looking for something refreshing, don’t miss out on their mango smoothies, which Samer Sabbagh describes as amazing—perfect to pair with a flavorful cheese sandwich.

Another customer favorite is their exquisite shawarma, available in chicken and other delectable options. Diners consistently regard it as the best in the city, with Dawid A declaring it “on a whole different level.” Each bite brings a burst of flavor and freshness that is absolutely addictive, thanks to their rich and flavorful sauces that elevate every dish.

The best shawarma ever! But better than the food is the service, My brother Muhammad always got me. I forgot my shawarma and My guy ran out the store and chased me down to give me the shawarma. In the process of this ordeal, he was hit by a car. He then got right up with a smile on his face and delivered the shawarma to me and it was in perfect condition. That’s how much he cares about his craft. Nothing can stop this guy.

BEST SHAWARMA IN THE CITY — HANDS DOWN! This place is on a whole different level. I’ve eaten shawarma all over the area and nothing comes close to this one. The food is always fresh — every single time. The meat is perfectly seasoned and super fresh, the vegetables are crisp, everything is always tip-top. Their sauces? Absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful, and honestly addictive. And I have to give a huge shout-out to Mohammad at the window. He’s always in a great mood, super friendly, helpful, loves to joke around, and makes the whole experience even better. One of the nicest guys you’ll meet. If you’re looking for good shawarma, don’t waste your time anywhere else. You simply won’t find a better one. This is the spot.

Awesome service and the chicken Mandi dinner is delicious. I love the hummus it’s the creamiest and healthiest. Very natural and delicious spices. I love the 24 hour drive through.

This is the most convenient Arabic drive through in the Chicagoland area. They have such a wide variety. From rice and chicken dishes to the best cheese sandwiches you will have in your life. Their mango smoothies are amazing.

Been here a couple times now but have only tried the chicken shawarma. No complaints! Sandwich was tasty and filling. Friendly staff. Fast service.Didn't wait too long in drive through.
