Food served in a pita (7)

I believe the answer is:

falafel

(Other definitions for falafel that I've seen before include "Cake of ground chickpeas" , "food item" , "Middle Eastern deep-fried ball of chick-peas etc" , "vegetarian snack" , "Deep-fried ball of ground chickpea" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
