Lunch Special at The Pita Inn

There really isn’t much to find these days on the lunch front for less than five bucks. I mean, you can get a burrito or a burger, but that never really satisfies – both from a taste and a nutritional standpoint. But the Pita Inn has been serving its impressive lunch special for $4.95 for years, and you can bet just about every day there’s a line to score one. The Pita Inn has three suburban locations (Wheeling, Glenview, Skokie) and the lunch special is available on weekdays only, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. The plate is overloaded with saffron-hued rice, kefta kebabs, shish kebab, falafel, salad and chicken kebabs. Make sure you order one of their freshly-squeezed glasses of lemonade to go along with it!
