I got the lamb shawarma pita with everything. Tahini and hot sauce. It was packed with to the brim. There was meat in every bite! Best little secret. I also got a lamb kebab platter with garlic sauce. Haven't ate it yet, but I know it's going to banging just like the pita! read more

Please don't strip me of my Yelp cred, lol. My son had been wanting to try Shawarma for a while. I found this spot, which very interestingly, is housed inside a LUK gas station! Thanks Yelp! Toward the middle-back of the convenience store, lies Pita's. Sweet staff in a clean looking kitchenette. So many menu options. I like how you can see the meats vertically cooking too. My lentil soup and steak quesadilla were both very good! The soup was aromatic, thick, and tasty! My quesadilla was a bit greasy, but a napkin blot took care of that one. The steak was so darn tender! My son's big brown eyes all but popped out of his head when he saw the beautiful falafel platter that I brought home for him! HE LOVED EVERYTHING!!! He loved every lick of it! Plus the (uncut) fluffy pita. Boy was in heaven! Figures I find this little hidden unexpected gem a week before I wont be working in this nearby area anymore! read more

This spot is a definite side mission to a gas station, but with the bite. The line for this place can be delayed since there is one worker but if you liked stuffed pitas, here it is. The pita is perfectly warmed and stuffed generously with your choice of fillings. It was a delicious, quick bite and, if you add sauce, can be messy. I highly recommend this for a quick lunch on the go. Just remember, this is still a gas station, so if you're looking for a place to sit down, you'll need to go somewhere else." read more

Good stuff. Heard this place has good sandwiches. Its inside the mart of a gas station. Tried their lamb schwarma sandwich and found it yummy. They have a cool cooper bread heating thing, legit schwarma meat. They also have a lot of other platters, fruit and sandwiches. Would definitely come back to try other offerings! Great price as well. Workers I spoke with seem very friendly as well. read more

Pita Pocket and More - Lamb schwarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mount Laurel, New Jersey

What a delicious delightful surprise! This little gem is inside the Lukeoil gas station quick marketplace. Past the grab and go items in the back is where you'll find the cheerful staff who were very patient with me as I ask questions about the menu. I settled on the chicken orzo soup which was like my grandma's. Velvety smooth and loaded with chicken, carrots and celery and onions. The pita sandwich I chose was the lamb. It was delicious by itself, but when my toppings ( lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, feta, onions,) were added along with tahini sauce it delivered to a new level. Hot sauce on the side so I could control that next level experience.... sandwich was big and the pita was beyond good. Definitely give this gas station spot a try - it's not typical gas station dining. read more

Located inside of the Gas Station mini mart. We got there right before the restaurant part closed. We ordered a chicken kabob gyro. The pita was nice and soft and full of chicken, tzatziki, cucumber and tomato salad and lettuce. We ate outside at one of the tables. It was very good and flavorful. We would definitely go again and maybe try a platter and another meat. read more

Surprisingly good schwarma from a gas station. As many before have placed it, this is a diamond in the rough locale. It's a gas station restaurant with proper kofta, schwarma, skewers, and falafel. You get big flavors for a reasonable price, all fresh made and absolutely delicious. This is a great place for a quick bite or a platter if you want a meal. The portions are generous, and the food is well prepared. I rate this place a 4 because of the location. If you try to get here via gps and miss a turn then it's a 15 minute trek to get back here. So you need to know where you're going or else you end up wasting lots of time. Also the entrances are not the easiest to spot and the wrong exit will add another 10-15 minutes to your trek. But if you do manage to make the trip and know exactly what to look for, you'll be rewarded with solid meals from a gas station. Worth a try if you're in the area. read more

I ordered chicken Kebab and beef stew. Let's start off with the delicious chicken Kebab with that special white sauce. Eat bite i took was better than the next bite they give you a good portion as well you will differently not be able to finish in 1 sitting . Next was the beef stew I was good it had a taste I found formula to A gyro. I end the Kebab the most I differently recommend this as a most try spot read more

Based on reviews & a reel, I was looking forward to trying this spot. Went @ 2pm on Sat. No chicken shawarma or tomato/cucumber salad left. Disappointing. Got lamb shawarma pita. Was flavorful, but meat was quite fatty & didn't taste like lamb. Don't know if I'll go back. read more

I ordered the chicken shawarma and falafel w garlic sauce. Everything was fresh and tasty. Pita pocket is authentic Mediterranean food and better than Naf Naf. Don't let the gas station appearance sway you. read more

Looks like a typical convenience store added to a gas station, but be not deceived! Comprehensive lunch items, Mid-East selections, catering menu and more. Kitchen/grill on premises. Always clean as can be, and always well stocked. Call ahead for pickups, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Doordash options. Obviously an owner who cares about his customers. read more

Pita Pocket serves fresh middle eastern food at value prices from the back of the family-owned Lukoil gas & convenience store. It's surprising, for sure, but everything's fresh, from the warm pita to the spit-roasted meats and freshly-fried felafel. The tabouleh and baba ganoush are first rate. The Greek salad is a nice meal, though it's notable that they don't use Greek kalamata olives (big fail). read more

Really well seasoned and tender meat, surprisingly filling. The pita is warmed to order and you can add whatever toppings and sauce you'd like. I want to come back to try the platters! There are seats and tables inside but you'll see most people eating in their cars. Solid meal for under $20. read more

Do not judge a book by its cover. This hidden gem is located inside the lukeoil gas station food mart. Super clean inside, and the food is delicious. You can tell as you walk to the counter the pride they have. Received my chicken Pita sandwich. The pita is super fresh and packed with amazing flavors. Also have a selection of entree dishes that I can't wait to try. Get out and support this family, the food is amazing. read more

3.5-4 I think I ordered the lamb shawarma platter but I didn't see that as an option on the online menu. I pass this place every time I come home from work after getting off the turnpike. It is definitely located inside a gas station mart but don't let that deter you. Portion size was big, food was very flavorful and the little side salad part was full of little extras that you don't always get depending on where you go. Meat was cooked nicely and seasoned. Staff was friendly. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Pita Pocket and More - Shawarma Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Mount Laurel, New Jersey

Friendly Service and delicious food! We had a sampling of different options and it was all delicious! Try the baba ghanoush!!

Driving around on 'E' with no shame, I was fortunate enough to pull into this gas station... Even with the turnpike within feet of this gas station, I'm the only person at the pumps needing gas! Yet the parking lot in front of the convenience store here is full of cars... My interest got the best of me, so i parked and walked in... There was a line of people waiting for shawarma, gyros, kabobs, and several types of halal platters.. I saw someone ordering a stewed beef platter with rice and salad... No more debating what I wanted. I ordered three! One for me, and two for my daughters... This meal was beyond delicious. And a total surprise considering that everything there was homemade, inside of a gas station convenience store.... You live and you learn... Don't always judge a book by its cover! read more

I ordered two chicken shawarma platters after a long drive in the NJ Turnpike. The food was delicious & incredibly fresh. The rice, chicken, tomato cucumber salad & additional pickled veggies were so good & filling! I'm looking forward to trying the lamb and stews. Also, the gas station itself was one of the cleanest I've ever entered. Pita Pocket will be my go-to spot for good middle eastern food. read more

The prices are good, but I wish the food was better. First off all their pita sandwiches come with beets in it- which I was not expecting but luckily I like them. Their babaganoush tasted straight like garlic. You couldn't taste anything else at all. We had to mix it with the hummus for it to even taste good enough to eat. The lamb pita had maybe 4 pieces of lamb in it, compared to the other two it wasn't even close to being full. I will say the pitas had a great taste and the others were PACKED. read more

I have driven past this service station quite a few times. Who would think that one could find good tasting Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food inside a gas station/convenience store on Route 73? And Pita Pocket and More is Halal. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter, a lamb pita sandwich and lentil soup. The platter came with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, beets, rice and a yogurt sauce. I had a little hot sauce added also. The chicken was delicious, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The size of the platter was huge. The lamb pita was also excellent and the pita bread was outstanding. The Lentil soup was very good also. I was a little shocked with how good everything was. There are three tables for eating in. The food is served in takeout containers with plastic utensils. The people that worked the counter and the store were very friendly and helpful. The store is clean. 4 stars and another great find thanks to Yelp! read more

A gas station in Mt. Laurel NJ? Doesn't sound like much, but when one puts their pride aside and steps into this joint, they won't be regretful! A stroll past the frozen slushies and lottery tickets brings one to a classic, no frills counter with a simple menu. I opted for the pita pocket, since that is the name of the restaurant after all. I was met with friendly service and a delicious meal. The chicken orzo soup tastes fresh out of your grandmother's ladel, and the falafel pita is hard to beat for the price and convenience. read more

Stopped in here because I read about it on a Facebook page. I'm definitely not disappointed. Got a lamb pita with all the fixings and it was amazing. This is t really a restaurant it's in a convenience store at a gas station. Don't let that fool you. It's super clean inside and there's plenty of fresh food to eat. The service was quick and I was in and out with food and a monster in hand. I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu items. Highly recommended if you want something of quality on the go. read more

Wow, that's all I can say, this place is amazing and I really enjoyed my chicken shawarma pita, it was so delicious. I will def be ordering again read more

Excellent and unexpected food from a gas station? Yes! Seems like it just shares the same real estate as the Lukoil gas station there. But, it's nestled in the back. A hidden gem. Don't expect the thinly shaved meat of Schwarma. You'll get succulent chunks of grilled chicken, lamb or beef. Together with the fresh, fresh vegetables and tzakiki sauce and the folded warm pita, and you've got yourself a perfect sandwich. I happened to visit for the first time over a year ago, timing was concurrent with the Greek festival in Cherry Hill. Able to make a direct comparison between the Festival's homemade Gyros, prepared by members of the Greek Orthodox church that hosted the festival. And the Gyros from Pita Pocket. These Gyros from Pita Pocket were far superior than anything found at the festival. Happened to go again, concurrent with the Greek festival, a year later, and this time the Gyros at the festival were made by a Commercial food truck franchise. No comparison whatsoever. The festival Gyro offerings were a complete waste of money. (Luckily they had homemade Baklava to counteract that). Pita Pocket is the real deal. I go here 2x a month, at a minimum. read more

Wow! So fresh! So delicious! Such big portions! Friendliest service. Very reasonably priced. And yup, it's in the gas station. Just go, Just wow! Samples the homemade chicken orzo soup, Yumba! Settled on baba ganoush- best I've had in a long time. A little chunkier that I make it, I like theirs better We ordered a lamb shawarma pita & a platter, too. Didn't even touch the pita b/c the platter was enough to share for lunch. Delicious, fresh, with all the toppings. Our new go to spot when we are on the Jersey Turnpike. read more

Wow! I was very surprised with this place. Awesome food. This was totally a hidden gem. The food was so fresh. I ordered the chicken kabob platter. It was very flavorful. The portion was huge.

I wish I could rate this place 0 stars. My fiancé and I stopped here on our way home from Florida to get gas before going home to New York, the way overpriced gas should've been our red flag to go somewhere else but against my better judgement, I went inside. I bought about $30 worth of snacks (not to mention that as I was checking out, I noticed the bag of m&ms I had grabbed were already opened so the guy told me to grab another one. I went back and grabbed another one and that one was open as well, gross) I went back to the car and realized I forgot to get a drink for my daughter. I walked back in and saw these really small and cute apple juice drinks that had Disney characters on them, listed for $1.29. Great. I grabbed 3 (Moana, Minnie and Olaf) my daughters favorites! I head to the counter and a different man is there. He scans my stuff and tells me my total is $11.97. I do the math in my head and I realize it doesn't add up. I said there must be a mistake, those drinks are priced at $1.29 and x3 that doesn't add up to $11.97. He laughed in my face, scanned the drink again and said sorry, they're $3.99. I explained to him that they were priced on the shelf for $1.29 and he told me I was mistaken and assured me he wasn't giving me a "discount". That's when I laughed, I wasn't looking for a discount. I was looking to pay the price on the shelf that was listed. We paid $89 to fill the rest of our car and spent an additional $30 on snacks, 4 minutes before this. Clearly I wasn't scamming, it's called good business practice. He told me I was wrong multiple times to which I told him to go look for himself. He went over to the shelf and shifted the $1.29 label over to other drinks on the shelf. Now, me being me I had already taken a picture of the shelf the first time he told me I was wrong because I knew I wasn't. I went back up to the front with him and he told me he wasn't budging and kept laughing at me. I told him I wanted them and I wasn't looking for an argument. My daughter had just sat in the car for a whole car ride from Disney to this place, she deserved a cute surprise. When he saw I wasn't leaving, he offered to call the manager. I said go ahead. He walks back over to the shelf and shifts the label over to other drinks and proceeded to FaceTime the manager. I saw the whole thing so I pointed out that he moved it and he shooed me away. I HEARD The manager told him to give me the discount (being that it was a FaceTime call, not a regular phone call) He answered back disgruntled. He obviously wasn't happy. We went back up to the desk where he told me it was $3.99 or nothing. I walked. I would rather run out of gas and walk all the way to Long Island than give this place another $. Disgusting business practice. Acknowledge your mistake. Added photo for reference. I grabbed the 3 drinks out of the shelf that was then left empty. read more

Hidden Gem for sure!!! Forget the chain locations like Cava, Naf Naf and others. These guy are the real deal.

I'd give it five stars but you know it is a little takeout stand in the middle of a gas station convenience store. So everything is premade and they assemble it in front of you. So the tabouli and everything else is already made a little containers But for quick grab lunch or even a catering tray for dinner of chicken and rice it's a good deal. I have ordered the catering tray - it's a lot of rice not a lot of chicken, but it is all very delicious and the garlic sauce is to die for. read more

Totally a hidden gem! Food is good. Had chicken shawarma platter. Great portion and reasonably priced.

We stopped for lunch at Pita Pocket. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. We ordered falafel pitas and the were made to order with all the tasty trimmings. Pita Pocket will definitely see us again. If you're planning to eat and run, order ahead. That's what I plan to do the next time. Thanks to the staff for a delicious lunch. read more

I have to give three stars because the food was delicious/fresh and filling. I will visit this establishment again, after the pandemic. They are not wearing masks and one person did have a mask, but under the nose, which the way biology works the nose connects to the lungs, and this far into the pandemic it's inexcusable to not wear a mask or wear one improperly. They also wear gloves, but touch their face and mask with the gloves then proceed to touch the service utensils and your food with the same gloves. There was only one person wearing a mask properly and it was an older woman. I ordered the falafel platter and a salad. Everything was tasty and yummy. Is it worth rising my health for? Nope. It may be worth it to you though and if it is - don't pass this place by! read more

Always friendly and fast service. Delicious food. A hidden gem in the area- always thrilled to tell friends about the best gas station meal they will ever have. Truly never disappoints. read more

we are closed for remodelling we will open in april first thank you we see you in april

It is easy to miss this place because it is in a gas station and doesn't advertise prominently. However, this is a gem in hiding. They have a good mix of gyro sandwiches, gyro platters, salads, soups and even a whole rotisserie chicken. The food is Halal and the owner is amazing. He offered us a sample of soup, while we were waiting for our order to be made. Also when I told him that the order was for somebody who was sick and recovering, he would not accept any money from me. It just blew me away. I guess there a lot of kind, generous and good people in this world after all! read more
