Super gem!! One of the best falafel sandwich around Providence and Boston area! Whenever We are in Providence, We stop in at East Side Pockets and every single time I go, I am astonished at how good their food is. You can't beat it for Lebanese type food. Their falafels are like no other l've had they are so airy fluffy inside and nice crisp outside shaped like a doughnut never seen that before lol. The menu has a wide variety of middle eastern foods and the prices are...

Great value, phenomenal taste and large selection to choose from all wrapped-up (pun intended) with quick preparation. Seating space is limited and this place gets crazy busy (standing room only type of busy) since Brown Uni crowd is the main clientele here. I highly recommend this neat little gem for both dine-in and take-out. My only wish is this was a national chain... it is that good.

Good value, good food, and large servings! This is a good healthy alternative if you’re on a budget and live in Providence. They also have baklava!

There’s a long line during peak lunch and dinner hours but it moves fast. Limited seating in the store but the food is packed to go anyway.

This is a good go-to place for us since our Son is vegetarian and there’s plenty of options at this place.

Enjoy!
