Baba Pita has quickly become my go-to spot for Middle Eastern comfort food! The chicken shawarma is bursting with flavor, while the baklava hits all the right notes - perfectly crunchy and balanced. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit delightful. Can't wait to explore more of the menu!

Baba Pita is a gem of a Middle Eastern restaurant tucked away in Chicago! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for solo dining or a relaxed lunch. I ordered the chicken shawerma and kibbeh plate, both bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. And let's not forget the baklava - it’s simply the best! Crunchy and not overly sweet, it’s a must-try.

The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming vibe. With reasonable prices and a fantastic tea selection, I can't wait to return for more. Highly recommend this spot! ❤️🍽️
