Pita Golden Pocket

The best shawarma in Ontario! We discovered this hidden gem after a long search for good shawarma in the GTA. Small eatery in the style of a casual sub sandwich shop, Pita Golden Pocket is tucked into a small strip mall along RR 7. The amount of chicken they use on the pitas is unbelievable. All of the toppings are fresh and handmade including a gorgeous mango sauce. Get the works — you will not regret it. Just as good as the food is the service. The owner and his wife are truly beautiful people who love to chat. We were even provided with a free freshly made falafel (the best! SO moist and full of flavor) on our first visit. We have already been back for a second visit. Price works out to approximately $ 10 per shawarma, tax included. It is HUGE. If you have some kind of freakishly hollow stomach, you can eat 3 and get one free (one person, dine in only). I cannot imagine how this is possible, and we are big eaters.

This place is amazing. The food is always fresh and the service is great. You better be hungry before coming here because their portions are massive. If I could describe this place in one word it would be…“FANTASTIC”

Ok so I decided to give them another try because I can’t give up on this place. It’s still not as good as it used to be but much better than the last two times I’ve been. They are a very nice family and I have a soft spot for mom and pop shops. I’ll give them a ⁴⁄₅.

Little pricey compare to other Shawerma joints but you get what you pay for. There’s enough meat in one sandwich to feed a family. Fries are pricey as well but are fresh cut and not McCain like most places.

Best shwarma place I have ever been to! The service is so friendly and the shwarma was stuffed to the brim with juicy chicken!

Insane amount of chicken. Best shwarma in toronto hands down. I ordered the chicken shwarma and couldn’t move for the rest of the day. I advise to eat half at a time (:

My kids love shawarma, probably it’s in their blood as my hubby is half-​Persian :) One of my family’s favorite shawarma places is Pita Golden Pocket. The prices are excellent, the food is delicious. Pita Golden Pocket is a nice change from our standard meal when we order out. When my kids are happy and full, that makes me happy.

I stopped by today after looking for a great shawarma place near Markham which none can be found. After checking on Unilocal pita golden pocket was the closet place to go therefore, I decided to check it out. I’m glad that i decided to come to pita golden pocket instead of other places. A 9 $ shawarma wrap will feed a entire family with the amount of food they give you. The chicken was moist with a little crisp from being lightly charred. The toppings where freshly made and added great freshness inside the wrap. The in house hot sauce was amazing. None the less I will be a frequent customer to pita golden pocket. If you’re around the area and haven’t been then you’re missing out!

After reading the rave reviews I had to try this place. Very very good, but $ 2.50 for a coke? C’mon man.

I seen this on cheap eats and highly recommended. Went in it looked plain from outside and inside décor was average. I ordered the chicken schawarma on pita and the amount of meat was incredible. I bit into while driving and simply amazing with extra garlic sauce. The staff are friendly and sincere they have me hooked for life no other place can meet expectations.

Amazing. Have had schwarma all over… this is close to the top. Was greeted with a free sample of chicken that was as big as a whole portion I’ve gotten at other schwarma places.
Huge portion, of perfectly seasoned moist chicken, layered expertly with toppings/​sauce and wrapped perfectly, so little falls out, and every bites the same.

This place here has one great shawarma wrap, generous portions of all toppings leaves you more than satisfied. I’ll definitely be back

AMAZING.
This is by far, the best Shawarma place I have been to in Toronto.
The amount of chicken they give you in insane. They put enough meat inside to feed a small family. Chicken is always moist, tender, perfectly seasoned and very very fresh. They have tons of toppings, all fresh, and they are very generous with them. You want more or less of something, they give it to you, no problem. Must try the mango sauce!
The owners are incredibly nice and friendly and service is always top notch. Every time I go in, they give me a little sample of something, whether it be the chicken, or a piece of falafel. Clean inside and you will probably need to take home half your shawarma since it is so huge. They are always ready behind the counter to wrap your leftovers to go.
And all of this (plus a drink) for approx $ 10.
Again. AMAZING.

AMAZING. Need I say more
As soon as you walk in you feel good the smell of the food is over powering yet makes your mouth drool

This place serves awesome shwarma. Abundant chicken and the size of your forearm this is made the way you like it with so many ingredients to choose. Ma and Pa operated and service with a smile and thank you always. Enjoy.

Absolutely brilliant shawarma!!! By far the best I’ve had. Very generous portion and extremely nice owners.
Their biggest issue is the place looks old and rough, but definitely don’t judge a book by it’s cover!

Wow, this is one serious Shawarma! This is by far the biggest Shawarma I’ve ever had. The topping options are plentiful and fresh and the hot sauce and mango sauce are home made. Both sauces are a must try! The owners are proud and extremely friendly. They greet you when you enter and they thank you when you leave! Golden Pita Pocket is an already great experience.

What not to love about Pita Golden Pocket?
The moment I walked in I came face to face with meat. I was even offered some free sample even though I know exactly what I want!
Shawarma Pita ($ 7.99) piled high with chicken while the nice man behind the counter trying to convince me to top it with every single topping until it would explore then rolled it in a pita bread that was cut in half. Amba Sauce? Hummus? Garlic Sauce? Hot Sauce?
Eyeing my lunch nicely squeezed and rolled, I can foresee what I messy it would be when I start eating that! But making a mess is half the fun! My Unilocal friend kept shaking his head while sitting far far away from me… with jalapeño rolling all over the place!
Falafel ($ 6.99) Pita though has the same topping but lack the meaty smokey flavours. I have not idea when my Unilocal friend becomes vegetarian? But he kept eyeing my chicken and asked if I should just cut that half with a knife? Why?!! Why?!!
Pita Golden Pocket is to date one of the best Shawarma I had. Love the people working there, so friendly and cheerful!
I will be back!
