We tried the falafel, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, hummus, babagnoush, tabbouleh, fattoush and pickled things. It was SO GOOD. Authentic full flavours - Spiced to perfection. The falafels were light and soft. The meats were spiced so nicely. We stuffed ourselves and had leftovers - the portions are generous. We will absolutely go back and recommend to anyone looking for good middle eastern food in the area.

Chicken shwarma plate and falafel plate were very flavourful and generous (enough for lunch the next day). Falafel sandwich was huge too but my son somehow managed to devour the whole thing. Owners were lovely and we were offered stuffed grape leaves and beef to try while waiting (those were delish too). We'll definitely be back. Location is especially convenient in the summer as it's right on the way to the parks and baseball fields along lakefront promenade.

A couple years ago, there weren't many shawarma places on The Danforth, and now there's a lot of…read moreoptions. Of the newer ones is one of the Shawarma Royale chain. Compared to the other options, the offerings at this restaurant are more wallet friendly. Keeping with the royale theme, the sizes have royalty based names. As of the writing of this review, they have introduced a few twists on offer recently with their crispy wrap options. Of these, I tried the Hot & Cheesy which comes with a crispy, red spicy exterior shell that reminded me of a flaming cheese, while retaining the standard chicken shawarma fillings of meat, garlic sauce and pickles. I would recommend eating the crispy options immediately when ready. I also tried the standard chicken shawarma for comparison and it is pretty good too. I like the flexibility in being able to get a smaller or bigger wrap depending on the appetite. I also tried the falafel appetizer, and while the falafels were crispy on the exterior, I felt the filling was a bit too dense for my liking. I did appreciate the thumb indentures on the surface (a trick to ensure the falafel is cooked through in the middle more evenly). I feel service was a bit slower compared to other shawarma places, but they make up for it with variety and being more economical.

The cabbage roll is like nothing I've tasted before! It's filled with falafel and lentils. There's a tangy sauce on top. The samosas are spicy and, like anything you order here, you can see the ingredients. I have enjoyed the vegetarian and chicken. Both good. The staff are conscientious and put each order together as they are ordered. There is usually a small line up of 3-4 people, so you know there are people willing to wait for the food. - it's that good. The only thing I would have different in a future order is to ask for my cabbage roll to warmed all the way through. It was warmed up, but given its substantial size, it was cold in the middle. It tasted fine (I was hungry), but I'm sure the flavours would come through even better when heated up longer.

I…read moreordered the shawarma plate, and everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The falafel deserves a special mention--it was hands down the best falafel I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, light and flavorful on the inside, and cooked to perfection. The place is spotless, and you can tell they take pride in both the quality of their food and the cleanliness of the place. The owners are incredibly kind, welcoming, and make you feel appreciated as a customer. The portions are huge, the ingredients are fresh, and every bite was delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality shawarma and amazing falafel, Pita Golden Pocket is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back!"

It is in a plaza in the middle of nowhere. There are a lot of construction workers who come here for food. The food portion is huge, VERY HUGE. We ordered one pita for both of us, which was more than enough. Everyone there ordered a huge order. The owner was very friendly. It was our first time there. One pita comes with only one drink, but the owner gave us a drink for free and allowed us to sample some chicken before ordering. I don't think I will come back for the food again. This place is famous, I guess, because of the portions.

There's table seating for about 2 dozen customers. Many customers go the takeout option. Two gentlemen assembled the customer orders with assembly line speed.

I'll come back again to this Victoria Van Horne Plaza restaurant.

On this occasion, we got the gyro sandwich and the beef shawarma sandwich. Decent amount of gyro but definitely looks commercially made and reheated. Flavor is good. Toppings were fresh and sauces/hummus were tasty. Beef shawarma was a bit on the dry side but stil decently good flavor. The shawarma are okay sized, not super filled but decently filled. I do feel like it would take 1.5 sandwiches to satisfy me for lunch. Price: Pretty cheap if you buy 2 or 3 so bring someone to share with you!

The portion was a little on the small side but I guess not bad for the price. It tasted okay, but not as flavourful as I was expecting. My friends opted for the regular portions at regular price. Their total was a little over $40, with drinks, but they had leftovers to take home. They had the Chicken Shawarma with rice and fries, and the Beef Shawarma with Fries. While waiting for our food, I noticed remnants of past decor hanging from the surrounding walls and ceiling. Really? Overall, the food was just okay and the ambiance was below average. With similar restaurants in nearby proximity, I would think twice before returning.

I think that is very misleading on their end. I got the mixed shawarma dinner it's 20 bucks plus tax, they load it up with chicken and beef and hot sauce and pomegranate molasses. The meat was really tender and it tasted really good with the tahini and pomegranate molasses. The rice was cooked perfectly and the parsley commented the meal well. The owner was kind and explained the the whole two dinner 20.99 situation. Just a recommendation to be transparent but the food was phenomal.
