pitapocket + bubbletea — Restaurant in Barrington

(Lower Your Expectations) I had high expectations b/c of the 4.8 rating on Google, and unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype.

We ordered 3 different platters: Kofta plate, beef & lamb gyro plate, and a burger w/fries.

1. The kofta plate had meat that was dry (not good) and the seasoning was fine but not great. The rice was plain/dry and nothing special. Also, this came w/small salad which was fresh & good.

The tzatziki sauce was runny and it lacked flavor. Overall this plate was disappointing.

2. The lamb & beef plate was more moist and flavorful than the kofta meat, which was a good thing. But not that much better This dish was served with fries which were good, but the plate overall was not anything special.

I have lived overseas for 10 years and I’m familiar with what good mediterranean food taste like. The food served here was just AVERAGE, and this rating is being generous.

I prefer the plates and gyros served at East Side pockets in Providence near Brown University. The flavor and moistness of the meat is much better.

To Recap: the service from the workers was excellent. But the food was not terrible nor is it...

Pita Pocket is a hidden gem nestled in the Shaws Plaza in Barrington, offering a culinary journey through the flavors of Turkey. The owner is so kind and takes so much care to prepare your meal.

One of the standout dishes at Pita Pocket is their Dolma Salad. Bursting with freshness and flavor, this salad is a true celebration of Mediterranean ingredients. The grape leaves are expertly stuffed with a tantalizing mixture of rice, herbs, and spices, creating a symphony of taste with each bite. The balance of tangy and savory flavors is simply divine, leaving your taste buds craving for more.

What sets Pita Pocket apart is their commitment to authenticity and quality. Each ingredient is carefully sourced to ensure the highest standards of taste and freshness. The Dolma Salad and Chicken Gyro Plate are perfect examples of this dedication, as every element shines through with its own distinct flavor profile.

Whether you're a fan of Turkish cuisine or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, Pita Pocket is a must-visit destination. And be sure to indulge in their irresistible Baklava – it's a culinary delight that you won't...

Normally I don't leave bad reviews for mom n' pop restaurants... But our takeout experience for the cost was disappointing - and the food not made in an authentic way - that I wanted to leave feedback for the owners. First we ordered the Mediterranean meze plater. Beyond the dish not coming with pita (forgot?) , The tabbouleh was pretty much all romaine lettuce and little tomatoes/parsley/onion/bulgar... Like it was being stretched way too far to cut costs. The tiny falafel was flavorless and the hummus watery. Next was the supposedly a kofta kabob sandwich... Which look like a poorly cut up hamburger sprinkled with seasoning (not the kebab skewers as you'd expect). The fries that were served with the sandwich were undercooked. Sandwich had little hummus or taziki. The last was a chicken gyro sandwich which was sprinkled with too much hot seasoning. Maybe it was an off day looking at the other reviews... But passing off romaine salad as 75% of the tabbouleh...
