Grrr. Pita Pocket Falafel & Grille, which sprang up a year or so ago at 16th and Chancellor, just closed. Supposedly done in by a family thing. Pita Pocket's draws were tasty pita sandwiches bigger than your head and a bangin' "salad bar" with all sorts of Middle Eastern bites that you could snarf while you waited. .

Oh no--this is horrible news! One of my favorite places. Can we bring back the Pocket and get rid of Pita Pit instead??

they were so much better than the pita pit, but they were a little expensive. loved the spiced carrots on the salad bar. their actual pita was average at best though.

No! I was just about to write a shining review of them on my blog...I have such a craving for their eggplant! That place was a miracle of engineering--the amount of falafel they fit into each pita.
