These guys and their food truck are at the West End markets on Saturdays and the CBD Farmer's Markets on Wednesdays. (They may also be at various other festivals and events -- follow them on social media for more information.) I went on during the CBD Wednesday Farmer's Markets during my lunch break.
Eat a Pocket bills itself as having "Brisbane's Best Falafel." This is the only falafel I've had in Brisbane, since I don't live here, but I'd have to say it was pretty darned good. It came with hummus, salads, tabouli, pickles, tomato salsa, cole slaw, and tahini. For the price ($12!), however, it was really small. That was the one let-down about this place. I was expecting a full falafel wrap -- but these "pockets" are a little less than half the size of a typical falafel wrap (like the kind you might get from a kebab shop). Tasty, yes, and definitely better quality than anything you'd get at a kebab shop, but ultimately not worth the price tag.
They also have a variety of other Middle Eastern vegetarian options -- a "brekky pocket" ($8.50) with scrambled eggs; a "hummus pocket" ($11) with hummus, coleslaw, tabouli, salsa, pickles, and tahini; a "babaganoush pocket" ($12), which is the same as the hummus pocket but with babaganoush instead; a mezze plate ($13) with falafel balls, sauerkraut, pita bread, and lots of dips; and basic falafel platters with your choice of 6 or 12 falafel balls.
Definitely nice flavours, but really overpriced for what you get.
Their falafel platters, hummus pocket, and falafel pocket are all vegan. The brekky pocket isn't (contains scrambled eggs) and I didn't ask about the babaganoush pocket (sometimes babaganoush contains dairy).
Service was also super nice and friendly.
Probably worth going if you're craving a high-quality falafel wrap on a Wednesday or Saturday, but just be prepared the portion sizes are pretty small relative to the cost. read more
