This place is great! Service is amazing and polite. Best Shawarma in Los Angeles!!! Highly recommend!

Amazing food it's so delicious I will come back again the owner is a great man nice people parking is amazing too . I recommend it

Amazing lemon chicken lafa. I actually had half chicken/half beef lafa sandwich. It was incredible!

Food was ok. The laffa bread was the best thing here but the chicken and gyro was not fresh. I guess if you come at the right time it could be better. Chicken shawarma laffa wrap - 7.2/10 read more

Came for a weekend in LA from San Diego and I was recommended this place for the chicken shawarma and I was so shocked by how delicious the chicken shawarma was! By far the best I've had in California! And the pita bread that was used for the sandwich was so fresh and hot! read more

We tried the shawarma plates and falafel, both were delicious! The service is amazing. Very authentic and tastes homemade. I'd highly recommend trying this spot read more

Super delicious food with good hospitality and service, great menu grate location next to the Vonc supermarket

Trash. I ordered their beef kabob sandwich wrapped in laffa bread. I have had laffa many times, so I know how it is supposed to be. It did not taste or feel good. It was cold and hard bread. Laffa is not supposed to feel and taste like that. The worst part about the beef kabob sandwich was the beef. I swear I was eating donkey meat. Tough to chew, cold, and hard as hell. No flavor or seasoning. I threw my sandwich in the trash after a few bites. I don't know anything about the rest of their food, but don't order anything with laffa bread or the beef kabob. Go eat at another Middle Eastern restaurant. read more

LOCATION: located in large shopping plaza (next to Vons); plenty of FREE parking; indoor/ covered outdoor seating FOOD: lemon chicken laffa and beef shawarma laffa. It is not cheap, BUT it is large portions. Fresh full of veggies and made to order plus a good condiments bar (pickled veggies, chili peppers, and fried laffa chips)! You can ask for your French fries on the side which I prefer vs having them in your laffa. The thing that is EXCEPTIONAL is that the laffa is the made to order in a taboon (I think that's what it is called). I always order an extra laffa! It's best if you eat it there, but also good slightly toasted at home with butter! I don't know of any other place in SCa that makes laffa?? If you never had it, it's similar to naan, but it's thinner and chewier! Sooooo good and addictive! CUSTOMER SERVICE: very nice and the chef was great! He cooked our sandwiches first and then cooked our extra laffa as we were finishing our meal. read more

I came back to this place after 14 years and spent about $80. I had asked the front girl if I could get laffa bread instead of pita, and she checked with the older gentleman making the food and he said yes. Later, another younger man came in, and when the girl mentioned my request, he ignored it and gave me pita instead (which I didn't realize at first). When I picked up my food and asked if they had given me laffa, it turned out they hadn't. Instead of simply fixing the mistake, the younger man told me I'd have to pay a few extra dollars. I explained that I had asked in advance and was told it was fine, but his body language was rude and dismissive. He even pulled the pita out of my bag as if it was my fault. Then, when the owner came out, they continued talking about the situation in Arabic in front of me, which felt very unprofessional. A simple apology and a substitution would have gone a long way, but instead I left feeling disrespected. Honestly, you just lost a long-time customer over $2. read more

Mixed gyro laffa the besttt! Loveee it beef lamb and chicken so yummmy with hummus and rice rock on brother!

Wow, just wow. I finally understand what all the buzz was about. As a first-time customer (my name is Art), I was blown away by the entire experience at this pita pocket spot. The star of the show, besides the incredible food, is the owner, Richard. This man is a legend. He greeted me with a huge smile, patiently walked me through the menu, and his passion for his food is absolutely contagious. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into every ingredient. I ordered the lamb pita pocket on his recommendation, and it was a life-changing pita experience. The meat was perfectly spiced and tender, the veggies were impossibly fresh, and the homemade tzatziki sauce was tangy and cool. The pita itself was warm, fluffy, and held everything together like a dream-no messy drips! Richard, thank you for an amazing meal and for making me feel like a regular on my very first visit. This isn't just a food spot; it's a community treasure. I'll be back next week to try the chicken! Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

Three of us really enjoyed our food and their customer service is wonderful. Would definitely recommend Pita pockets.

Very Nice owner very good food beef shawarma delicious . Coming back for more after classes.

Place is a bit pricey, but i think well worth it. I went for a Gyro Gaffa, and it was delicious with some Kebabs and rice i ordered with it. Smells good as you walk right inside. Meat and pitas are daily, and freshly made. Feels good to eat inside the clean place. They have restrooms you can use. Nice staff and good food. Next time i want to try other options on the menues. read more

We have loved this place for more years than I can remember...25 plus. Today we went in and ordered 6 meals. It wasn't bad but for the first time in all our years it was different. It didn't taste like "home." Not one of our meals tastes the same as it has all the years we have been going. It was more generic. None of the familiar faces were there except for a cook or two. Hoping with all the new decor and containers, our local favorite hasn't changed so we may give it a try one more time.... We all left a little disappointed. We typically absolutely love this place and we are hoping it was just a fluke. read more

My brother frequents Pita Pockets and he brought food for us from here before. Today we decided to get Pita Pocket's chicken lemon wrap since we haven't had it for a while. So delicious the chicken lemon wrap! The chicken are huge chicken breast chunks that are flavorful. Chicken is very tender and grilled perfectly. The wrap is full of chicken, thick French fries, fresh cut tomatoes and lettuce. You have to try this place and you won't regret it. The customer service is also excellent. The lady at the cash register was pleasant along with the 2 gentlemen grilling the chicken and pita bread. They also practice social distancing guidelines. We like supporting small businesses especially the ones here in the SFV that serve quality food and excellent customer service. We will definitely continue to refer Pita Pockets to our family and friends. Thank you Pita Pockets! read more

**2020 Pandemic Review** I had to go to Northridge for work and of course, I had to look up a place yummy to eat because why go to Subway when they have those everywhere and you can find something local, delicious and support small business!?! I found this place on my way to another spot and quickly looked at Yelp's reviews. It's a hole in a wall in a shopping center. It doesn't look too exciting from the outside... When I walked in, they obviously are following social distancing guidelines. The woman greeted me whom I assume is one of the owners. She was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. I was going to order a plate, but saw the laffa, which is something I've never had before. I love Mediterranean food and so this looked interesting. The laffa is like a burrito, but the tortilla is more like an airy pita bread. So light and warm and delicious! I opted for the lemon chicken with extra garlic sauce. So falvorful! My only issue and I'll know next time, is that there wasn't much chicken inside. If you love protein, ask for extra. I'm actually thinking about making a special trip out here just to get it again. There's a bakery next to it called Delicious Bakery that's pretty darn delicious too! read more

Delicious food and great flavor every time! The shawarma is always fresh and the portions are more than enough. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat. read more

Came here for a gyro, was amazed at their other menu items. 1st visit was the lemon chicken laffa with rice - generously portioned and with a delicious sauce. 2nd visit was the chicken shawarma with rice - also in laffa. Good, but I prefer the lemon chicken. 3rd visit was the gyro laffa. Took some advice off the 'net and got it with fries. Oh, this was it! Fantastic. Also got an order of feta fries. These were good, but the trip home had them steam up in the box and they lost their crispness. Next time I'll order them with the gyro meat. Staff is always friendly. Service is quick too. Definitely a must-try. read more

This is my first time trying this place - I had the shawarma wrap, falafel and French fries. The shawarma was amazing - I inhaled it. The falafel came with a tahini sauce and it was crunch and delicious. I will absolutely be back. read more

Pita pocket never lets me down. When I was living in the Valley this was one of the places I would frequent. A Shwarma Laffa always hit the spot. It hits all the right notes: fresh, tastes great, balanced, textures are spot on and it's portioned just right! Picture not available because I'm just too busy eating it. :) read more

I no longer live in the Valley but do come to hike here from time to time. My go-to place for Israeli food is Al-Ha Esh but they were closed today. So, I had to find another option I wish there was a 4 1/2 star rating option. I couldn't give Pita Pockets a 5 because they hadn't made any baba ganoush! But, I can tell you that everything I had on my falfel plate was delish--hummus, carrots, red cabbage! And their laffa, made to order, yum! Some of the best falafel I've ever had! I love the additional falafel chips, pickled turnips, and pickled veggies that you can stuff yourself on. read more

This place was so good! I ate every bite :) I will definitely order from here again. read more

Been eating here for over 16 years (since college years at CSUN) anytime we're near the valley we have to make a pita pockets stop. I now have my husband and teenagers hooked on the lemon chicken laffa's. Add fries and taziki inside and it's just too good. Will forever be a favorite in our family. Wish it wasn't a 2 hr drive from home but that's probably good or I'd be there way too much! read more

I've been a customer for 20 years and the consistent quality has never changed. They offer a gyro sandwich in a laffa which is excellent as it adds just the right heft to make it one of the best sandwiches in LA read more

Their food never fails! Whether it's a platter with shawarma or Laffa it's always so good and their portions are great! My guilty pleasure is the fried pita pieces they have their. The service is always with great suggestions and a smile! Last time we ordered manakish and kofta kabob platter! read more

Pita Pockets - Lemon Chicken Laffa & Beef Kabob Laffa - Middle Eastern Near Me - Northridge, California

Came here for lunch with a friend and it was spectacular. This is a little whole in the wall spot that is next to Vons. When entering the women assisting us was super nice and helpful. I got the chicken shawarma laffa and the chicken kebab plate with an added side of the lamb skewer. I got the laffa wrap with fries instead of rice and OMG the flavor were fireworks. I also got a side of garlic sauce that made it 10x better. The bread wrap was so soft like a pillow and all the sauces just paired well. The plate was really good as well as the meat had a ton of flavor. The pita it came with was also 10/10 as it was fluffy as it reminded me of the pillsbury dough boy since he looks fluffy and thic. I definitely would recommend coming here. The workers are nice and the food is . My friend who accompanied me also was obsessed with this spot. read more

Love the laffa. Both the gyro and the chicken shawarma were a hit with the family. Fast and convenient make it a great lunch spot.

Called in for takeout during lunch today because I was craving gyro and this seemed close by. I ended up ordering a gyro laffa and pick up time was 10 minutes. I came 15 min later, parking is in a large lot so that was great. I paid and picked up my order, very simple. The man at the register was really nice and the lady on the phone seemed friendly as well. I have my order, I'm driving home, I get home and open up my laffa, bite into it anddddd it's chicken. Which is totally fine, but I REALLY wanted gyro and i also asked for fries in my laffa and there were no fries. I'm guessing I was given the wrong order? Definitely would've went back but I was on my lunch break and didn't have another 15 min to drive back and pick up a gyro laffa. All fine though, still tastes good. Just really wish it was correct. Also portion size is HUGE, it's like a largeeee burrito. Maybe I'll return again one day! read more

There lafa bread, omg. I always get the Chicken Shawarma Laffa , french fries inside instead of rice. Extra tahini, hot sauce etc. it's a small mom and pop typa business, and really good. Best one I know here in the valley. The people that I have met in the last 20 Years, the family I have grown into. Thank you for serving my family, and my community for years. read more

Great Middle Eastern restaurant. We had the Gyros Plate and I would have finished it all, but the generous portion of Rice was more than I could finish. I loved the grape leaves. Adding it to my favorites list. read more
