Kebabs became popular after gallivanting paladins landed spear-first on an enemy's sandwich and, in an act of derring-do, fed it to them. Pounce upon flavor with today's deal: for $10, you get $20 worth of Mediterranean and middle-eastern cuisine at Pita & Kabobz in Schaumburg.
Pita & Kabobz draws primarily from the rich flavors of Indian, Pakistani, and Afghani cuisines to create scrumptious skewer-style fare and more. Send taste buds sojourning through the Eastern hemisphere without enrolling them in the Merchant Marines with first courses such as grape leaves ($2.99) or creamy hummus ($2–$4.50), sided with fresh-baked naan bread.
Entrees arrive with a salad and choice of naan or rice, and they can carry sizzling skewers of succulent chicken ($7), beef ($9), or lamb ($11). Sate hankerings for handheld foodstuffs with the eatery's beef gyro ($4.50) or falafel sandwich ($4.50), or stay hands-free by attaching a zesty glass of chai ($1) or refreshing bowl of chicken masala curry ($8) to an implanted silly straw. The kitchen is open till 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer, making it an ideal spot for late-night grub with the inscrutable Mr. X.
