Review The Pocket Burleigh - Burleigh Heads

Pretty disappointing. Perhaps new management but The Pocket used to be awesome with huge plates of salad. I ordered the trio plate for $23.90 on Saturday asking for no chips, thinking I might get a little extra salad instead. (With the kombucha this cost $29.00 all up)... The second picture is after I approached the staff and had a somewhat awkward interaction to kindly ask for more salad, for which they obliged. Not great value for money tho - mostly chips.

Very happy. We went there today on the take-end of a mad falafel craving and regretted it not in the least. The proprietor met us on the other side of the counter and literally went through the menu with us making some great suggestions. The restaurant is a great choice of all types of eating disciplines. Most of the good stuff is dairy free and you can have as much or as little meat as you're in the mood for. We chose the small Mezza plate, and a large chips in the side. I tend to go too far into details, but I won't here. The food was awesome. Everything from the falafels to the eggplant was loaded with flavour. The hummus was smooth and we got some (free) with our chips as well. So happy. We ate (and bloody hell, can we eat) well for $30. Go to this place!

The staff was great and accommodating. The avocado smash with added bacon and poached eggs was divine and ever so tasty. The bacon was a great cut, portion and from a good brand with heaps of flavour. The coffee was brewed and made well. Its soft flavours pervaded ones taste buds with caffeine. A great little place, well staffed, reasonably priced and one to revisit for sure.

They claim to be the best falafel in GC and absolutely Don't disappoint! Great food.

Fresh food and excellent service! We got the Mezza plate and were surprised how far it went between two people. We also had fresh lemonade to go with it. The staff were also lots of fun and very careful to handle our food so there was no meat or gluten contamination. Would happily eat here again!

The dips and falafel are delicious but service is terrible. Waited for 45 min for the veggie special. It is really stressful when you only have a short break from work in the same sidewalk. They don’t follow a standard for service. Been there before and the presentation of the plate was completely different. This time, mushrooms full of oil, halloumi dripping oil too. The salad was terrible. They don’t appear to have qualified staff when it gets super busy. Also they don’t follow the order of the docked. Feeling disappointed when it could be an amazing food experience.

overall a great experience! the staff were so friendly and genuine as they checked up on us. they have good vegan options, fast service, and the food was so delicious. would definitely recommend eating here with friends :))

My partner and I enjoy getting the mezze platter and making up our own falafel pita pockets. I like the variety of fillings and sauces (hummus and baba ghanoush) and everything tastes pretty fresh ! 🤤It's also a pretty cheap weeknight dinner option for us and we always feel satisfied. The girl working is also always super polite and welcoming ! Edit: Unfortunately during my last visit i saw a whole flock of fruit flies in their fridge cabinet where they keep all the salads and ingredients for the falafel pockets and therefore have been a little turned off on returning. Hopefully the hygiene standards get a little better as the food itself is usually very good
