East Side Pockets has been a fixture on Providence's Thayer Street, serving Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food in a casual setup built for both take-out and sit-down dining. The menu covers the standards: falafel, gyros, wraps, kabobs, grape leaves, hummus, tzatziki, salads, and baklava.
The falafel has developed a following, and regulars point to generous portions and consistent food quality visit after visit. Service moves quickly even during busy stretches, keeping the counter-service model efficient.
