Pita Inn Is Coming to Six Corners in Portage Park | Eater Chicago
"Coming to Portage Park near Six Corners on the former Sears Auto Center parcel at 4035 N. Cicero Avenue, this long-running suburban falafel and shawarma institution—founded 43 years ago by Jordanian immigrants Falah and Asma Tabahi—plans a mid- to late-2026 opening with seating for more than 200, an outdoor terrace, and on-site parking. Known for affordable, high-quality kabobs, shawarma, and falafel and for a widely praised hummus that is even sold at Costco, the family-owned business emphasizes authentic recipes and ingredient quality, and credits decades-long staff continuity for consistency. The Chicago spot will carry the core menu while adding some city-exclusive items (the group recently debuted a wagyu steak shawarma wrap in Skokie as an example) and aims to reach a new customer base amid the Six Corners revitalization after building a passionate following across multiple suburban locations." - Ashok Selvam
