Review of Pita Inn

200 Oak Creek Plaza, Mundelein, IL 60060

Overall Rating

Review


Great tasting food, very nice people. They assured me the only thing cooked in the fryers are the french fries and the falafel, which are gluten free. There is a gluten free menu at the register upon request. They have a small selection of international foods like candy bars and cans of Vimto near the register, too. Plenty of indoor and outdoor dining space.

Edit: it may be safest to go during a slower time when you can talk to them about cross contact. We were there at a very busy time and since it is an open kitchen, we could see that the staff were using the same tongs for everything-- cutting the (gluten) pita, opening the pita, picking up the meat to stuff the pita, then using the tongs also to put rice/salad onto the plates. The fries and falafel went straight from the fryer to the plates, so that seemed ok, but the meat/rice/salad area was all shared tongs at the time we went. I don't know if other locations are different. They may be able to get fresh items upon request if they aren't so busy.
