Middle Eastern Syrian Salad

The best falafel I’ve ever had, and the staff are all so nice!

We were visiting Providence (after living here for many years and moving away), and we had to make a stop at East Side Pocket for lunch. East Side Pocket is still providing generous portions of quality gyros and salads in a welcoming environment. Perfectly seasoned grilled chicken without being overpowering, fresh vegetables, creamy hummus and tzatziki. Don't forget to add on a piece or two of baklava!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Their staff is friendly and the food is so delicious I'd 100% make the trip back again before our short 3 day trip in RI is overGet a Falafel and chicken wrap with everything plus some baklava and you'll be in HEAVEN. I only wish I'd tried their lentil soup. If you're in the area definitely make a stop in. The line was long (means the food is good!) But they ran through it quick and everything is so fresh. You're going to get a lot for your money

Delicious, absolutely delicious. Wraps were enormous, enough for 2. Falafel was crunchy and flavourful, hummus was nice and lemony. Baklava was all good, I especially liked the cashew. Don’t worry about the line, they move fast!

I love the food ! The chicken gyro es good and the falafels are amazing ?

Consistently fresh. You open the salad container and can instantly smell everything - the fried falafel, onions, pickles, herbs, etc ? so good every time.

Came in for the first time late Friday night because the cute girl working caught my attention in the window. Tried the falafel 10/10 and got some biclifa on the house. For it being around 1AM, customer service skills were A+. Very polite, happy. Had to go back today. She was not there but still enjoyed the delicious food. Will be back Friday.

Love this place. Since moving to Providence one year ago, I've gotten food from East Side Pockets more than any other restaurant. I love the vegan falafel wraps (just ask for no dairy), baba ganoush, and pita chips!

Best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Huge portions and great prices. Great staff, quick service! If you can visit East Side Pocket you have to! I got the Chicken Kebob and Falafel salad! I customized it, meaning put stuff on and took other things off, they didn’t bat an eye! Seriously you need to go!!! So much food so little money ❤️ The photo below is half way through my meal because I was way too excited and dug right in!!!

Great food. Woman who handles online orders today (Sunday 01/22) needs training. Throws the bag of food around so rudely. Everyone else there is nice and polite but her.
