Really well seasoned and tender meat, surprisingly filling. The pita is warmed to order and you can add whatever toppings and sauce you'd like. I want to come back to try the platters! There are seats and tables inside but you'll see most people eating in their cars. Solid meal for under $20.

Surprisingly good schwarma from a gas station. As many before have placed it, this is a diamond in the rough locale. It's a gas station restaurant with proper kofta, schwarma, skewers, and falafel. You get big flavors for a reasonable price, all fresh made and absolutely delicious. This is a great place for a quick bite or a platter if you want a meal. The portions are generous, and the food is well prepared. I rate this place a 4 because of the location. If you try to get here via gps and miss a turn then it's a 15 minute trek to get back here. So you need to know where you're going or else you end up wasting lots of time. Also the entrances are not the easiest to spot and the wrong exit will add another 10-15 minutes to your trek. But if you do manage to make the trip and know exactly what to look for, you'll be rewarded with solid meals from a gas station. Worth a try if you're in the area.

The Lamb Shawarma Pita Pocket was on another level! Everything was super fresh and made with love. I look forward to returning and trying some other items on the menu.

Pita Pocket serves fresh middle eastern food at value prices from the back of the family-owned Lukoil gas & convenience store. It's surprising, for sure, but everything's fresh, from the warm pita to the spit-roasted meats and freshly-fried felafel. The tabouleh and baba ganoush are first rate. The Greek salad is a nice meal, though it's notable that they don't use Greek kalamata olives (big fail).

A gas station in Mt. Laurel NJ? Doesn't sound like much, but when one puts their pride aside and steps into this joint, they won't be regretful! A stroll past the frozen slushies and lottery tickets brings one to a classic, no frills counter with a simple menu. I opted for the pita pocket, since that is the name of the restaurant after all. I was met with friendly service and a delicious meal. The chicken orzo soup tastes fresh out of your grandmother's ladel, and the falafel pita is hard to beat for the price and convenience.

Stopped in here because I read about it on a Facebook page. I'm definitely not disappointed. Got a lamb pita with all the fixings and it was amazing. This is t really a restaurant it's in a convenience store at a gas station. Don't let that fool you. It's super clean inside and there's plenty of fresh food to eat. The service was quick and I was in and out with food and a monster in hand. I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu items. Highly recommended if you want something of quality on the go.

3.5-4 I think I ordered the lamb shawarma platter but I didn't see that as an option on the online menu. I pass this place every time I come home from work after getting off the turnpike. It is definitely located inside a gas station mart but don't let that deter you. Portion size was big, food was very flavorful and the little side salad part was full of little extras that you don't always get depending on where you go. Meat was cooked nicely and seasoned. Staff was friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

Driving around on 'E' with no shame, I was fortunate enough to pull into this gas station... Even with the turnpike within feet of this gas station, I'm the only person at the pumps needing gas! Yet the parking lot in front of the convenience store here is full of cars... My interest got the best of me, so i parked and walked in... There was a line of people waiting for shawarma, gyros, kabobs, and several types of halal platters.. I saw someone ordering a stewed beef platter with rice and salad... No more debating what I wanted. I ordered three! One for me, and two for my daughters... This meal was beyond delicious. And a total surprise considering that everything there was homemade, inside of a gas station convenience store.... You live and you learn... Don't always judge a book by its cover!
