Second time I didnt get my sauce with my order as i requested. So disappointed the food is good though

This place has been here for a very long time. I used to come here often, but then I stopped, but I only stopped because it's just not really on my radar of places to go to eat, as it just blends away into the valley with so many other dining offerings. The staff is always amazing and attentive here. I've never left here feeling the same as when I came in, instead, I am always leaving here happier, that's what good service is about! Anyway, give them a try. It is definitely worth it. Great service, great food. Always clean and fast. read more

Would not go again. Expensive and the taste does not back it up. Food is raved about by many locals. But, when I had a mixed Laffa, meat was dry ant not juicy. Salad just didn't seem the freshest. And my laffa didn't come with any fries..? Service was good and the people at the store were friendly enough, just disappointed with the quality for the price. Go somewhere else. read more

If you're looking for delicious, healthy, and satisfying Mediterranean food, this place is a true gem. The kebab portions are generous and perfectly balanced -- filling without feeling heavy. Everything tastes fresh, clean, and thoughtfully prepared, from the tender, well-seasoned meats to the crisp vegetables and flavorful sides. You can tell quality ingredients are used, which makes a huge difference. What I really appreciate is how healthy the food feels. You leave satisfied and energized, not weighed down. It's the kind of meal you can enjoy regularly and still feel good about. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the portion size and quality you're getting. Excellent value, great flavors, and consistently clean, comforting food. Highly recommended if you love Mediterranean cuisine done right -- simple, honest, and delicious. read more

Good job extending your indoor space and refreshing the interior, it definitely adds good vibes to dining in, having your delicious food. I went with my favorite -- chicken shawarma laffa. The laffa bread is freshly made in a specialty oven, has nice char marks and is perfectly soft and not too thick. Wrapped into the laffa are: the juicy chicken shawarma, a layer of hummus, spicy sauce per request, yummy fries, some veggies and all drizzled by the tahini sauce. The laffa wrap is huge and incredibly delicious. Definitely a winner. Combined with their great customer service, this spot is a must-visit for your Mediterranean food cravings! read more

Having tried both of the very delicious shawarma, I have to say it was the service we got after a mistake with my order that makes this the most solid place around. The food is excellent here, very authentic and healthy. Thanks for a wonderful dinner, my go-to spot for shawarma salad. read more

10/10 from the service to the food! It was our first time here and the employees were willing to answer any and all of our questions. The order took about 10 mins max so if you are looking for something fast then this would be it! There is also a seating area. The wraps are delicious!!! I ordered one with beef was it was amazing! I expected it to fall apart after a few bites as many wraps do and get messy but no this one stood strong! It wasn't messy to eat at all! The pita is fluffy and good too!! Lastly, parking is easy! There is so much which is a problem that I have in Northridge! Would come back again! read more

The food was soooo underwhelming. However the price a bit overwhelming. Why did I have to pay over $30 for a shawerma plate that was literally nothing special. Maybe the sauces made the dish, but I wouldn't know that because they didnt even give me the tahini sauce i asked for. The falafel was good, another, However, no tahini to dip it into. For these reasons I do not think i will be coming back. There are so many places to get better shawerma plates. Much cheaper too!!! read more

Pita Pockets - Middle Eastern Near Me - Northridge, California

Pita Pockets was located in a strip mall with lots of parking out in front. They had roomier outdoor seating than the tables inside. We struck up a conversation with one of the staff while waiting and got a little history about the place. Very friendly guy and generous. We ended up ordering a variety to go: The chicken kebabs were delicious with lots of flavor. Hummus was creamy and salad was fresh. The gyro plate was stacked with a generous serving of meat. The Laffa (a little like naan) used in their wrap was freshly baked while we waited. Mated with the gyro meat, veggies and their sauce turned into an amazing meal with a little smokiness from the browned Laffa. Overall lots of food for the price. Would definitely come back next time we are nearby in Northridge. read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp and I can see why the ratings are so high. The food was delicious and the owners are great people. I got a plate and it was huge! They were helpful with choosing what I wanted and let me get 2 different meats. The meat tasted so fresh, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the humus was also very good. There are plenty of tables in the restaurant and the food is out fast! The owners make you feel so welcomed. A must try in Northridge! read more

Picked up food for an early Mother's Day dinner to celebrate with my mother in law. The food was great and they give decent portions. Love that the meal here comes with hummus because most of the other places I was looking at didn't come with it. We love the lemon chicken and that's usually our go to order. Only problem is they didn't give the lemon sauce that's supposed to come with the lemon chicken. They also didn't give any of the extra sauces I ordered. read more

The food was incredible and so authentic!! Richard was so kind and the food came out hot and quick. Highly highly recommend!! read more

Excellent lemon chicken laffa, the bread is fresh and handmade at time of order and it could not be better! Lemon chicken was off the grill, and beef and chicken shwarma is off the spit, and all are exceptionally fresh and juicy, very well flavored. The owner is very kind and proud of his food so the level of service is top notch, you feel the passion for the food. Nice strip mall location with shaded seating outside and plenty of parking in a lot, will definitely be back! read more

Wow! This place was a suggestion from the Yelp community. So I have to give credit to all you guys!! Thanks for the recommendation! The service was excellent. Being it was my firs time here, the worker gave me the run down. I ended up ordering the Chicken Shawarma Laffa. And it didn't disappoint. They must have one giant pita bread rolled out for this cause the Laffa was huge! Theres enough room to sit inside, or they have a cute outdoor (covered) patio area right in front of the store as you walk in. Also, they have complimentary pita chips while you wait for your food. So far, this place checks all the boxes on my list. I will definitely come back here again. read more

Even though I just had Middle Eastern food last night, when your girlfriends said they're craving gyro, you gladly go try a new place. Looking up fellow Yelp reviews I tried the lemon chicken laffa. I've never had it before. The staff was super welcoming. I asked them what is a good favorite for my first time? They said the chicken shawarma or lemon chicken. Since I did my research I looked up the difference between gyro and laffa I picked the heartier laffa. Gyro comes in a pita pocket. Very thin bread. I loved the laffa . It's a thicker flatbread. If you're a bread lover like me, go with laffa. For my side I picked French fries. I didn't know it was inside the laffa. It was DELICIOUS. The perfect marriage of lemon, creamy, tangy and protein. You order inside and they call you when your order is ready. Since it was my first time they delivered my food to me. Inside seating has a few 2 top tables. One 4 top. Outside on the covered patio has more 4 top tables. It was perfect weather but during the summer time I'm not sure if I would eat there. read more

I can't rave about this place enough. The service is always amazing. I usually get the lemon chicken laffa: the chicken is is so flavorful and the laffa is a soft chewy texture (which I prefer over pita). I usually drive an hour to Northridge for class and I have no idea what I'll do without it once I graduate since I don't think there are places that serve laffa where I live, please give it a try! read more

From the moment I walked in, I could tell Pita Pockets was something special. The place has a warm, welcoming vibe, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Every bite was packed with fresh flavor -- you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. The pita bread was FRESH , soft and perfectly warm, the fillings were fresh and seasoned to perfection, and the flavors worked together beautifully. The owner is one of the nicest people you'll meet -- friendly, passionate about the food, and genuinely cares about every customer's experience. It's rare to find a place where the food and service are both this amazing. If you haven't been to Pita Pockets yet, you're seriously missing out. read more

Guys were rude to their staff. Maybe a long day. Chicken was cut then reheated on flat top. All flavors gone. Salad tasted funny from the dressing. Pita smelled weird as well as taste. Went for years with previous owners and was better quality. Will not be going back to this staple. read more

The food is great! We had chicken shawarma pita, it was delicious! Great food quality, friendly service, very nice and clean. Definitely recommend and will be back? read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was really disappointed. I ordered the shawarma and it was honestly horrible -- it had a very strange herb taste that completely threw off the flavor. Definitely not what I was expecting. read more

I was hosting a party for 20 friends and really didn't feel like cooking. I got a bunch of tabbouleh, Babaganoush, hummus and rice from Pita Pockets and everything was absolutely delicious!!! Babaganoush is very difficult to make correctly. Pita pockets Babaganoush was perfect Looking forward to having their shawerma soon! read more

Staff was so helpful and friendly. Food was great and presented well. Definitely recommend !!

10/10 One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The meat is super high quality and you can taste how fresh everything is. Staff were super nice and welcoming. Even ran into the owner who was just as hospitable and we shared a quick conversation. I can't remember the last time I walked out of a restaurant feeling this way, again...10/10 with everything. Will definitely be back again. read more

Shawarma wrap for 19 dollars? No thanks That is very expensive. This is not a fancy place to be very expensive read more

This used to be the best shawarma place I've ever been to on either side of the Atlantic. But those days are gone! It looks like the place is under new management. The flavor is not what it used to be, and the heart of this beloved restaurant was ripped out of it. There were gorgeous paintings of Israeli landmarks on the wall. Those were replaced by a cold and flat fresh coat of paint. At the register now, an Armenian flag is standing. The container of pita chips was empty, and the so were the napkin dispensers. Sadly though, the price for a simple pita sandwich went through the roof. Thank you, Pita Pockets. I will remember the old days fondly, but will not come back. read more

Everything was great!! The vibe was nice real chill place.. The guys and the lady cooking it up were really nice.. I love the food and how everything tasted so fresh.. and it comes in a nice portion.. The fries were crispy the shawarma was bomb!! I will go back .. read more

It seems like a lot of people are noticing the same thing: Pita Pockets has started giving way less chicken and beef in their wraps and plates. I honestly thought maybe I just got a bad order, but after reading other recent reviews and ordering multiple times, it's clearly a trend. The protein portions are almost half of what they used to be, and yet the prices continue to rise. When you look at older photos and compare them to what you get now, the difference is pretty shocking. If this is because of new ownership or management changes, it shows and not in a good way. The quality has dropped, the value isn't there anymore, and for $25-$30 per meal, customers deserve consistency. I don't mind paying more for great food, but I do mind paying more for significantly less. The flavors are not consistently great (it may depend on who is working), but the value simply isn't there anymore. read more

I tried this place recently for authentic Mediterranean food and it was incredible. The owner/master chef explained all of the dishes well and walked me through my options. He took his time and explained the flavor profiles and even offered samples of the various types of Shawarma. I ended up getting the mixed dish of beef and chicken, with fries and multiple salads. It was delicious and extremely feeling. The presentation was incredible as you can see in the picture. I will definitely go back and try it again. read more

Pita Pockets in Northridge is hands-down one of my favorite spots for Mediterranean food. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with love. I had the Beef Shawarma in laffa and it was incredible!!! juicy, tangy, and perfectly wrapped. My vegetarian kid had their delicious Falafel which was soooo good and we also had a one plate of kabobs and I have to say they were one of the more flavorful I ever had. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. Also, they are super friendly and welcoming. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and there are plenty of options whether you eat meat or prefer vegetarian. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it! read more
