Pita Pockets Amherst

Great service, very friendly, and clearly marked vegan options. If you come around regularly, he will remember you and offer free little snacks, like a falafel or two. Great amount of food for the price. Can't recommend it enough.

I’m a huge fan of middle eastern/arab food and this has to be one of the best spots I’ve ever been to. The chicken pita was so fresh and flavorful, as were the falafel and sauces. It was a pretty large serving of each. Just delicious. To top it off, the staff was incredibly friendly and generous, and I’m not kidding when I say our brief 30 second interaction made my day a little better!

I think this is the best middle eastern spot in town. Authentic. Syrian style falafel. Very tasty. They also sell jams, dried herbs, and kulfi icecream. Highly recommend.

Pita Pockets has my heart. The service? Beyond incredible. The food? To die for, truly. I usually go with the chicken and falafel pita pocket and add some kalamata olives. If I’m having a bad day, I know getting lunch from this lovely establishment will pick me right up. Honestly, just walking in the door picks me up, the staff is incredible and so welcoming. Everything is fresh and delicious. I highly encourage a stop in! Place your order with the kind gentleman at the front of shop, grab a Jarritos soda to go along with your choice lunch item, and they might even give you a warm ball of falafel with hummus to satisfy you as you wait (if you even have to wait!)! Huge thank you to all of you at Pita Pockets, your service is out of this world and you deserve high praise.

Best falafel I've ever had! And Josef and his whole family are the sweetest people ever! I have no idea how he remembers everybody's orders if they've been in more than three times, but it's astounding. The food is fabulous, great service, and a really good chat with Josef every time.
