pita golden pocket

giantshawarma= giant flavour. easily my favouriteshawarmajoint! the portion is huge (easily 2lbs of food in this wrap), but it's so hard to stop eating, it tastes so good! the service is always friendly and familiar (even if you've never been there before). "fantastic!"

fantastic!. i love this place, it's easily the bestshawarmai've ever had and i've tried plenty of them.

i work at a company that's within walking distance of this place so me and my friends usually go there once a week or so, and even though i have their food all the time i don't see myself ever getting sick of it.

as others have mentioned, the portion size is very generous, enough so that some of the others only go on days when they don't have meetings in the afternoon to avoid falling asleep.

the bestshawarmain the city. the chicken is on point and plentiful as all the other reviews state. it's crispy and juicy at the same time, not sure how they get it so right. the staff / owners are incredible, willing to answer any questions. you are in meat heaven here, i can't recommend enough, it's the perfect wrap. need to try the falafel next

theshawarmawraps (more like supersized burritos) are really that good. theshawarmais perfectly done, there are plenty of vegetables and sauces to choose from, and the owners are really nice.

my friends and i were passing through this area and just happen to find this place - and i'm glad we did! theshawarmawas really really good. all the individual ingredients were fresh and the serving size was enormous for the price. on top of everything, the service was fantastic.

bestshawarmain the gta! pita golden pocket is a family run establishment. all of their sauces are made on site and the chicken is always juicy and delicious. for $9 after taxes, you get a chickenshawarmathat seemingly weighs over a pound. their hot sauce, and mango sauce are both amazing. i'd recommend it to anyone that's looking for a meaty meal.

pgp’sshawarmatakes the opposite approach, with a wide selection of available toppings which they mound generously into each wrap, resulting in ashawarmathe size of a large burrito (or which my co-workers describe as “the size of your arm!”).

friendly service. i'm not ashawarmaconnoisseur by any means but this is by far the best i've had. 1. the service is always friendly. try leaving without someone thanking you and saying goodbye. 2. the hot sauce and mango sauce are home made and awesome. 3. there is no shortage of meat. 4. did i mention that the service is incredible?

to the person who complained that it was slow. being busy slows things down and i'd take a food joint being busy as a good sign!

fantastic!!!. my co-worker and i go at least once a week. all ingredients are home made and fresh. theshawarmawrap is unbelievable! the hot sauce is the greatest, i would buy it buy the gallon if they sold it. it is amazing to see him actually close the wrap after piling up so much meat and toppings. sometimes you have to wait a few minutes in line but it is soooo worth it. it is a highlight of my day every time i go.

really more like bronze. e: pita golden pocket will not win the gold medal in theshawarmasweepstakes, but it is not out of the medals' contention given the dearth of good arabic sandwiches in the area. i announce pita golden pocket the winner of the bronze medal forshawarmasandwiches. the restaurant has better and biggershawarmathan hanna's or rifca, but ali baba and pita & grill are still better choices - yet at least 40 minutes' drive away.
the owner insisted on serving theshawarmawith his own hand-crafted, home-made, pride-of-the-house, best-thing-ever hot sauce, which apparently is mandatory for first-time visitors, and it was a good choice actually . i am not sure about the other sauce option, but this one is a decent zinger.
the sandwich itself is huge. writing a modern instant classic opera, driving a suv and appearing classy, looking cool in chaps and holding this restaurant'sshawarmain one's hands and not have it fall apart because it is so big are just a short list of impossibilities for the day. the sandwich is also packed. the meat was inconsistent in that some of it was medium cooked, while other morsels were thoroughly grilled. i like more lefet (pickled turnips) in my sandwich however.
the falafel was soft. apparently, it is not too deep fried and does not have the thickest of coatings.
theshawarmasandwich is $7.50 and obviously bigger than rifca's, which costs $6.50.

a: the restaurant resembles any other diner. the size is average for an establishment of this sort, but most customers are there for take-out (which was my case as well).
the plaza along highway 7 is as soulless, commercial and ugly as any along highway 7, in vaughan or in the toronto area. would it kill these businesses and slum plaza lords to plant a tree, a bush, a hedge or limit the commercial roadside signs to, say, 25?
-
t: parking is, of course, never a problem so feel free to drive all your cars over. inside things might be a tad slower given the apparent popularity of pita golden pocket especially for take-out.
-s: the owner is apparently friendly and jovial. he is proud of his handiwork and not shy to call it "fantastic" or assure you that you will be back. and if he omits the pledge one of the customers waiting for his take-out might make it up by telling you, "if you eat here you won't go anywhere else." firstly, presumably the reference exclusively was to treks forshawarmaor other arabic foods. secondly, yes, i would. for bettershawarmai would eat downtown (although naz's has now closed) or in mississauga, but that is if i were in those areas in the first place.
aside from cocky and talkative-happy service the owner was happy to share a free falafel sample while one waits for the order to be readied.
pita golden pocket has been on location for over six years. the owner is not arabic - he is an uzbek jew – and as such calling the restaurant arabic might or might not be accurate. the food might be arabic, but the owner is not. as such, perhaps ‘middle eastern’ makes more sense. never mind, what counts is the food and for that sisyphus rolls a bronze medal up the hill.

great shawarma; inviting atmosphere. as mentioned in other reviews, the portions here are absolutely massive. the chickenshawarmawraps are bursting with flavourful meat and the toppings are fresh and varied (shredded cabbage on a wrap? awesome. also try the mango sauce for a neat twist). i'm a huge fan of good falafel and as i work in vaughan, i've tried many places in the area. this is one of the few that fry them fresh when ordered - a key to great falafel.
the place is run by a family of three and they really make you feel welcome. highly recommended.

bestshawarmaever!!! "fantastic" as the man there says. highly recommended: chickenshawarmaon a pita.
