Pilpel in Tower Hamlets

Have been eating many years - I wanted more than one spoon of hummus was told would be charged extra !! Finally agreed a bit more . Falafel was crispy but container feels smaller and price higher Offered pay cash was refused - asked since when and why was told no cash or Amex “That’s why “. Chickpeas was given only 3 tiny chickpeas again refused more In order to gain loyalty need be more generous

Simpatica bottega nel mercato di Spitalfields che offre pita con falafel in tutte le salse e con una miriade di ingredienti a scelta. Velocità di servizio da fast food. Prezzi onesti.

Het pitabroodje was heerlijk, en zo super zacht. De falafel was krokant van buiten, en heel zacht van binnen, ook de smaak was goed! We kregen van tevoren eerst twee falafelballetjes met tahin om te proeven, zo heerlijk!! Ook de salades passen er goed bij en maken het broodje compleet. Het lekkerste falafelbroodje dat ik ooit heb gehad!

I stumbled across this place at lunchtime today and can’t wait to go back again when I’m next in the area, fresh homemade falafel and salad, generous portions and friendly staff.

Had great service from this particular branch off Bishopsgate, Liverpool Street. I had cravings for Piplel after work but not all the options were available for my order. Jarrell took the time to recommend an alternative selection based on what I was after. But also went above and beyond to call another branch in Spitafields who had the option I was after and asked them to prepare my pilpel container which had all the original options I initially requested. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of service and was more than satisfied when I actually tucked into my Pippel…Great service and great food - literally made my day!!!

Great place for fresh homemade falafels and salad. Always had great food and it has always been consistent.

I love visiting here for my lunch break as they do the best falafel and even give you a small bit to eat as they prepare your food.

¡He tenido el mejor servicio imaginable! ! ! Estaba estresado porque tengo una cena esta noche (inspirada en el Medio Oriente) y he tratado de hacer falafel solo y fallando MISERABLEMENTE necesitaba un milagro. ¡Bueno, Luciano me resolvió bien y realmente me puso una gran sonrisa en la cara! Gran valor - 30 falafel por 13! ¡Tendré invitados felices y soy un cliente muy feliz! Gracias pilpel y sobre todo Luciano! ! !

Fast food ho mangiato degli ottimi falafel accompagnati con verdura e salsine varie. Personale cortese e disponibile.

Fui allí varias veces y me quedé sin ingredientes a menudo y las comidas no están disponibles o me dirán que pueden hacerlo, pero con verduras empapadas y sin una serie de ingredientes anunciados.Cuando me quejé me ofrecieron cupones, pero el personal y el gerente me ignoraron cuando fui al restaurante.

Fui a su tienda en el mercado y también tienen uno en el camino. Me dieron una muestra gratis de su falafel y fue genial. No son tacaños con los falafels y ponen mucho y tienen coberturas realmente agradables. Lo mejor de todo fue que tenían un gran servicio y eran amables. Volveré.

This is a very slick operation geared to take aways or a quick snack inside at the few tables and counters. Delicious falafel in many varieties. Only cold drinks are sold (for speed?). Will definitely visit again.

Faits au dernier moment croustillants mais pas secs, servis avec une généreuse salade. On y a mangé 4 fois en 10 jours! Le serveur est super sympa ce qui ne gâche rien.

Après un tour au marché nous avons dégusté ces délicieux falafels. C'était bon frais et copieux. Je vous recommande cette adresse.

Petit restaurant, avec quelques places disponibles pour manger sur place. On y mange des falafels en pita ou en salade (container) avec différentes options (feta, aubergines, guacamole, tomates séchées,...). Les portions sont copieuses et les falafels excellents. Les salades accompagnant les falafels manquent peut être parfois d'un peu d'assaisonnement mais on en sort repu et satisfait !Je recommande

Estábamos buscando un bocadillo / almuerzo ya que una de las personas que trabajaban allí nos ofreció un sabor gratuito de su falafel. Estaban absolutamente deliciosos. Así que tomamos una decisión y obtuvimos una pita de falafel con queso feta. El servicio muy amable y la comida era increíble.

Visité la tienda de comida para llevar en el mercado de Spitalfields para el almuerzo. Era una buena mezcla de ensalada, pero el falafel fue el peor que he comido en mi vida.

Trabajar en Liverpool Street tiene muchas ventajas, una de ellas es tener el mercado de Spitafield justo detrás de la esquina. Hay muchas opciones para elegir, pero siempre voy a Pilpel (falafel container with guacamole), todas las semanas del viernes. La porción es grande, ensalada, hummus y guacamole fresco y delicioso. Crujiente de falafel caliente es solo una cereza en la parte superior. Podría tener este plato todos los días. El personal es muy agradable, siempre educado y sonriente, independientemente de las horas ocupadas de almuerzo.

I've loved falafel street food since Israel in early eighties and Pilpels falafels were worth going out of your way for.

Visited today at lunch. I just love falafel. These tasted great crispy on the outside. Soft inside and not too dry. Gave it 4 star as the guy serving was light on the salad.

Excellent falafel with pita. Generous salad portion, nice sauce. Falafel not too dry and was plentiful.

Stavamo facendoci in giro allo Spitalfield Market, e sentendo un certo languorino ci siamo diretti a prenderci uno spuntino da Pilpel che fa cucina mediorientale.

Pra quem ama falafel, assim como eu, este local é uma das melhores opções em Londres !! O falafel é maravilhoso, delicioso!!! O sanduíche no pão sírio com falafel, tabule e diversas outras saladas é sensacional! E o preço super justo. Fomos na loja que fica dentro do Oldsptifields Market. Vale a pena experimentar!

The falafels are beautifully seasoned and a great texture (not soggy) accompanied by fresh salad items. Love the addition of the tahini and chilli sauce.

Very little to complain about. Delicious falafel in a wrap with hummus. Probably 50p more than I would have wanted to pay, but I'm tight.

I had Falafel and Aubergine (Eggplant). I expected the eggplant to be Baba Ganoush but it was actually roasted eggplant. That was good except it was served with skin on and I dislike it that way. Despite that, it was a very good sandwich for a reasonable price. They have two locations at Spitalfields, one in the market and one on the west side on Brushfield Street.

We found this onTripAdvisor and were not disappointed. It is small but very popular. We had pita with falafel,hummus, aubergine and salad. The staff were very friendly and gave us a free falafel to taste whilst we made our selection. Delicious!

Best place for falafels. Value for money. Food is fresh as it’s fresh vegetables cooked to perfection. Bursting with flavour and goodness

Me encanta falafels pero son algo más! Tan grande, crujiente y lleno de sabor, cada vez estoy en cualquier lugar cerca de Spitalfields, cabeza Pilpel. Pan pitta son rellenos con generosas porciones de relleno delicioso en el pan de pita, ensalada, hummus, Chilis, salsas. Estoy buscando información solo escribo esto! Siempre el personal super agradable! Se lo recomendaría a todos mis amigos. ¡Gracias por los falafels

I have been eating pilpel since the beginning

Yo había visto este restaurante en tripadvisor y realmente me gustó el sonido. Cuando llegamos, nos umming y mis padres me a lo que fue, lo que pedir, cómo no funciona, etc. y uno de los servidores (un hombre encantador con modales impecables) entramos, y...

Usted sabe por qué dan muestras de distancia falafel? Porque saben que tienen el mejor falafal en la ciudad. Sinceramente. El mejor. Porciones bien, opciones buenas ensaladas, SUPER AMABLE personal! 👏 👏 👏

Me encantó la comida tenía una ensalada falafel, estaba muy crujiente y sabrosa. Ensalada Fresca era el servicio fue rápido. Volveremos!

Estupenda comida hecho bien, sencillo y sin pretensiones y deliciosos. Pittas son perfectas, así son los rellenos, comida fresca y un gran servicio.

Encantador lugar he estado algunas veces siempre ocupado pero te sirven bastante rápido sorprendentemente. La porción de comida es muy abundante. He tenido tanto la Pita de llenado y el recipiente de pita. Disfruté de los dos. Recomendaría el contenedor si estás muy hambriento! El personal es encantador, muy rápido y muy eficiente. Sin duda recomendaría no te puedes equivocar con falafel y el precio es bastante bueno para la calidad de la comida!

Fuimos a uno en el mercado de campos spittle. Divertido y personal amable. Ambos tuvimos el pitta y era muy sabroso y abundante. Lo recomiendo.

手軽に食べられる雰囲気がなかなか良いと思いました。ピタパンにはさんで食べるサンドイッチは絶品だと思いました。

Lunch veloce inBrushfield St: mangiata pita con verdure miste e falafel: OKKkkI ragazzi a banco sono sveltissimi, accoglienti, cordiali e pure simpatici.Prezzo ottimo

My son and I , Stopping for a bite in the Spitafield market. As both of us are eating falafel often, we tried It and it is very savory. The seasoning were really good. My son is vegan and this is fantastic for vegans.

We had an excellent lunch here. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was freshly pepared and very tasty. There's a wide choice of salad to have with your falafel and you can have a beer while you are waiting. Recommended.

Great, crunchy falafel, interesting salads, lovely, warm pita - what more could you want for a quick lunch spot? Prices were pretty low too, especially given the location opposite spitalfields market

Fantastic little lunch spot situated a few minutes from Liverpool St station; there's also a sattelite branch in Spitalfields Market and a couple of other branches dotted around the city.Options of either a sandwich or salad bowl of delicious salad veggies, dips and pickles crammed in with the most amazing falafels!! Perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Also a lovely pillowy soft flatbread to go with it.Staff are ultra energetic and friendly! Real buzzy atmosphere during their busy times; super efficient service and often free falafel tasters whilst you wait! Looking forward to my next fix!!

I have visited this place so many times. They have this salad with falafel in pita bread or in a container. This comes with so many veggies and sauces.One healthy full meal :)

This was my favourite place to get lunch whilst working in City The only regret that I have moving offices over to SW1 is that Pilpel is too far away. The service is friendly, salad bowls are made in front of you, falafels are fresh and probably the best tasting in London. You can get a beer after work too! My only issue is that they don’t re-use or recycle their plastic salad bowls – waste!

Great food, very friendly and attentive staff, just a great experience. They also give you a card and every 10th purchase is free.

My favourite lunch! Best falafel I've ever tasted! The falafel container with a warm pitta bread is our standard order, really friendly staff too,

Actually went to the little one inside Spitafields market and really impressed. Tasty, not expensive and fresh. They made the falafel in front of me. Def going back!

The falafel here was amazingly good. Had it in a sandwich. Could have used some more hot sauce and tahini so, if you go and it doesn't look like it is enough, ask them for more

Simple concept executed very well. Really nice falafel, great portions of salad and choice of whole meal and white pitta.Lovely friendly staff who made me feel very welcome.

My daughter took me to this restaurant, she visits it every now and then for lunch. She said that they serve the best falafels she has ever tasted so obviously I had to try it. We had an early lunch and ordered two pitas. Unfortunately, they had already sold out some of the extras like avocado sauce. So we had only whatever was still left. But even that was delicious. The falafels were just about right, soft and with lots of taste. The service was good although it was a bit chaotic when there are many customers that which order is for whom. The only problem with the restaurant is that they are too popular :) They run out of stock fast. I don't know why they cannot be prepared for the higher demand because this seems to happen constantly.

I'm no expert on falafel but I go here for lunch at least once a week! The falafel are crisp on the outside and smooth on the inside and have just the right amount of garlic. The salad/hummus that goes with it and fluffy pita are just mouthwateringly lovely. Of course I'm going back next week.....

Best falafel EVER!! Well worth the trip -delicious, fresh, friendly staff and they have samples whilst you wait!

My Palestinian sister in law makes fabulous falafel and although I don't want to offend her the falafel at Pilpel are fantastic too. They are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The accompaniments are gorgeous. Hummus, tabouleh, carrot salad,pickles. I could go on and on. We shared a portion for lunch and it was perfectly adequate for us. It's not posh but I love it. Just wish there was one nearer to me.

I always get the pitta wrap with falafel and aubergine and lots of salad. Lovely pickled cabbage and chillis, and they also have hot sauce if you feel brave. Lovely and filling and fairly priced, amazing food for quick on-the-go eats.

pilpel is a vegan and vegetarian falafel & houmous bar that serves colourful bowls and pitas in spitalfields. there’s also stores in fleet street and st paul’s.as soon as I walked in the ladies said hello and asked if they could help. you can choose your falafel to come in a pita (£4.80) or a container (£5.80). the pita is a choice of white or wholemeal. I went for the container where you get the pita on the side. the falafel is served with houmous, salad and sauce. the salad choices which are included are green salad, tabouleh, red + white cabbage, carrot, pickled cucumbers, jalapeños, onions & chickpeas and the sauces are red or green chilli & tahini. there’s also additional toppings you can choose from ranging from 60p to £1. I got aubergine and guacamole. when I ordered I was given a falafel to eat while I waited for mine to be made. the falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside which is what you want. nothing is worse than a dry tasting falafel. it tasted fresh and the serving size was huge – I couldn’t finish it in one go.there’s not much seating inside, so it’s nice to take it on the go and eat in the sunshine. try to beat lunch time rush and go around 11am or after 2pm. I’d eat here again but maybe go for the pita instead of the container as it’s a big bowl of plastic. hopefully one day they’ll change the container to a more eco friendly bowl.

Huge lunchtime queue, which is always a sign it's with visiting. A real nice vibe inside: lots of staff busy and serving customers. I had a Mediterranean pitta that was heap with falafel, hummus and salad. It filled be up for the afternoon, which is tough going for me! Recommend.

I'm a bit of a falafel aficionado and having tried falafel places all over London I can safely say that this is the best place to get your fix. The balls are delicious - not too dry and definitely not too greasy, But the star of the show is the wide range of fillings and salads, including fantastic hummus, that go in your pita - simply exquisite. Combine that with friendly service and you've got yourself a winner. Definitely the best option for a quick takeaway lunch when you're in the area.

"Great piping hot falafel with wonderful fresh fillings crammed into a pita in about 45 seconds which is amazing and makes up for standing in line waiting for your turn at the head of the line."

We love this place! The food is what you go for and we often do takeaway. The service is always friendly and the food you get is very delicious and great value for what you pay. I can't wait for the next visit!

Is always a joy to come to pilpel inside the market, the staff is always very friendly and talkative, there is a spanish or italian guy always offering free falafel and the food is spectacular.

This was the best Falafal I've ever had. I had the Falafel Pita which was filled with hummus, delicious falafel-balls, different salads and some spicey sauce. It's THE place to go for everyone who loves falafel!

So was wandering around on a Sunday and came upon Pilpel, was not sure but the staff inside sold it with their enthusiasm and passion about the food. We had a delicious falafel in pitta and guacomole it was really tasty all washed down with a bottle of sol for just over £15, which I thought was very good value and we loved everything about this place.

One of the best falafels in London, not a fancy place just take out but staff is always friendly and fresh falafel. What else do you need for a quick lunch.

Note: This is actually a review of the Pilpel shop front inside Spitalfiends market, which has the same menu as the shop in Brushfield Street.Having discovered the delights of Old Spitalfields Market's food stalls and street food on the first day of my visit to London, I knew that I had to be selecting in my choices for lunch during the week. With so many tempting dishes on offer in the vibrant food stalls you could easily pass by Pilpel; unless, that is, you were offered a free sample of a delicious falafel ball, freshly cooked and dipped in a light tehina sauce. Naturally I took the opportunity of 'tasting' a free sample every time I went past the store on my first four days. By Friday I had Falafel firmly imprinted on my mind and taste buds so I know already in the morning where I was going to have lunch. Lunchtime duly arrived and after a brisk walk from my training course to the market I made a bee-line to Pilpel. Free sample first whilst I was deciding what to have, then I decided on the Falafel and Aubergine salad bowl. It came with humous, tabouleh, coleslaw, carrot salad and Beetroot salad (I think), topped with five golden crispy hot falafel balls and my choice of either white or wholemeal pitta. Not the flat, dry cardboard poor third cousin of pitta that you get in supermarkets, but a freshly baked fluffy round pitta, just like they make in the bakeries in Israel. Fantastic! A side of chilli sauce completed the dish and I promptly sat down at one of the benches in the market to enjoy my lunch. I was in heaven! I hadn't even thought that this food was vegan, so never again will I feel sorry for vegans, at least until my next Shashlik or kibbeh! :-)Now I've had falafel in Lebanese restaurants in England previously and whilst they are nice, their falafel is just not as good as the Israeli falafel. That's a personal preference of course, but if you miss Israeli falafel and are in London, go to Pilpel.

I went to with a group of 13 friends on Sunday lunch time. The staff were friendly and accommodating for all needs. Gorgeous fresh food.

Brilliant falafels which you can get as a bread or as a salad bowl. Very filling. Value for money. However, on a couple of occasions I have had a stomach upset after eating here..

Ottimo locale dove mangiare delle ottime felafel! Il locale è molto carino, il personale divertente, cordiale, gentile, simpatico, generoso (offrono le felafel ai clienti se si forma la fila!), e veloce.Le felafel fatte mano, il pane, integrale e bianco molto buono, tante salse, alcune davvero deliziose.Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.Lo consiglio sicuramente e ci tornerei subito se tornassi a Londra!

Stopped here for a quick lunch when at Spitalfields. Food was really good, big portion, all really fresh and staff were friendly with good knowledge of veganism. Would definitely eat here again.

This is one of the best falafal I have ever had. There are so many different combinations, you simply cant get enough

I had the falafel bowl with guacamole for £5.80. It was delicious - good range of salads and dips (carrot salad, hummus, guacamole, couscous, pickles, red cabbage etc) and very tasty fried falafel with tahini and chilli sauce.Everything is vegan so it's a great place to take a vegan friend. The cafe has seating but it's quite small/basic so best for a quick meal.

Falafel is a popular snack throughout the Middle East. It's widely available throughout London in Turkish and Arab restaurants. What Pilpel delivers is Israeli falafel, as you would find cooked freshly on the streets of Tel Aviv.Unlike falafel elsewhere which is brown on the inside and somewhat dry, Pilpel's falafel is a taste sensation: The outside is crisp, shattering in your mouth revealing the succulent innards, moist and green with fresh herbs on the inside.Just like the many falafel restaurants of Tel Aviv, you'll be able to choose which of the 15 or so salads you want in your pita or on your plate (should you go for "plate"-sized salad option - my favourite). You can have as few or as many as you want.Pilpel also sell a variety of Israeli fruit drinks, juices and snacks, including the nut-lover's favourite, Bamba (think Wotsits but peanut flavoured).You can tell a good restaurant by how busy it is and the lunchtime queues out the door attest to the quality and value-for-money of this great restaurant chain.Highly recommended!
