I finally tried Pita Pockets in Northridge while waiting for paint samples to be made up at the Dunn Edwards in the same shopping plaza. Though it's 8 miles from my home, I will visit often for dine-in and take out, because the food, the portions and the atmosphere are wonderful. The chicken shawarma plate, with delicious rice, simple salad, excellent hummus and fresh soft pita is a bargain at $10.90 (includes tax). There is enough for 2 to share, the flavor and texture of the shawarma are superior to that prepared at many other "fast food" Israeli establishments I've tried, and, to top it off, the service is so friendly. The menu includes lemon chicken, a variety of meats for kabobs, falafel, gyros, Lebanese, Greek and Israeli salads, grape leaves, vegetarian plates, fresh-made Laffa bread, dips and of course baklava and Turkish coffee. It's popular for a reason. Enjoy!
