Pilpel in Tower Hamlets

I've eaten Pilpel falafel pitta for a long time Freshly cooked to order with a good selection of salad. They are still as good as they have always been. If you've not had one and you like Falafel you need to try it. They are much better than many other falafel bars in the area.

Falafel cooked to order on arrival, efficient friendly service, wholemeal wraps were packed with fresh ingredients including the hot falafel, great taste and excellent value for central London.

Great vibe, great staff and amazing food. It’s a great value for money where you can get top food at a very reasonable price and really quick. Their main asset is the vast amount of products they sell a day, because of this everything is fresh. Love it.

You know I always think to buy only pita but always end up buying the container. You guys are so responsible for my guilt :-D

Loco, divertido, ruidoso y sabroso! Nunca he comido en un lugar tan ruidoso y rápido como Pilpel. Siempre hace cola y entiendo por qué. Una gran variedad de ingredientes y una comida abundante. Vuelvo enseguida . . .

Pilpel hat ohne Zweifel die besten Falaffel der Stadt, einfach himmlisch Aber dass alles in Plastikcontainern verpackt wird, Plastik Besteck...seln#bst wenn man im Laden isst geht einfach GAR NICHT MEHR!!!! Wir haben 2019... Diese Berge an Plastik passen doch nicht zu eurem Image!! BITTE Bitte, aendert dies, liebe Pilpels !!!! Es gibt Spuelmaschinen und fuer takeaway oekologische Verpackungen

小型中東料理店，吃的是油炸鷹嘴豆餅和皮塔 餅。第一次品嘗中東小食，選擇了蛋碎油炸鷹嘴豆餅：賣相不佳的豆餅，辛香料香味濃、配上鷹嘴豆泥醬、素菜和蛋碎，味道出奇地味美。油炸鷹嘴豆餅不失為中東平民美食。

Falafel is the kind of food that attracts ( not exclusively obviously) veggies and vegans. People who care about the planet. The food is good but they are still going through tons of single use plastic!? It's 2019. Set a new standard.

Absolutely delicious falafel!!! This Fleet Street location is small so best for a quick pick up. The falafel container was very yummy- healthy vegetables and hummus and pita bread on the side. The staff was so sweet and helpful - was very happy with our experience!! Will absolutely be back :)

Bei jedem London Trip besuchen wir mindestens einmal einen pilpel👍🏼 Inzwischen gibt es mehrere Filialen in London So muss falafel schmecken

I stopped by at the Pilpel in Whitechapel today for a quick bite (I’ve never been there before but love I’m a big houmous fan so I gave it a go)... You guys aced it!! -loooooooovely staff -delicious food- from the falafel and houmous to the pita, feta and dressings. Will certainly recommend and go back next time I’m in the area. 🌶 <3

I mostly come here during lunchtime at work. By far the best falafels around. Not very keen on the mixed salads very much. Everything is vinegar-y, pickled or are lemon drizzled over them so it's basically delicious falafels with sour mixed salads. Staffs are friendly and polite but they could not hear you well when ordering as the music is too loud!

There's not much to say. Just great, simple falafel and fantastic service. I'll be back many times. Thank you!

Went with one of teammate there to treat myself and must admit that quite possibly the best falafel in London !!

This is a vegetarian quick fix but the most delicious one if you like chickpeas. Anyway, we tried the one in the OLd Spitalfield market but the queue was so long. Sat in a stand alone bar and had a drink, watching the queue to see if it would go down but never did. Anyway so we walked over to the Fleet Street one, by this time it was 2.30 and lucky the lunch hour rush had gone down but so had the choices for the side dishes to go with the falafel. This did not matter as, the falafels were great as usual and whatever that was left, it was still all delicious. Such generous portions of falafel and side dishes. It is obvious all fresh on a daily basis as they seem to sell out. Even a carnivore will love this place me thinks. It's quick (as long as you are not stuck in a queue, filling, healthy and tastes great.

My number 1 favourite lunch. The falafel's are the very best in town, crunchy on the outside and warm and moist in the middle with amazing flavour. The staff in the Fleet St branch are very cheerful and friendly. Love it.

So damn gooooood. Highly recommend getting ur falafel in a pita (with aubergine) not a bowl 👌🏻 quite possibly the best falafel in London

So I just got back from walking in the rain to Fleet Street Pipel. It was worth getting completely soaked as the falafel pitta with aubergine was brilliant. Added bonus the Falafel pitta is vegan. I've also been to the Pipel branches in Aldgate and Spitafields market and they are always magnificent. The service at this fleet street branch was also 5 star. A falafel pitta with Aubergiene came to £5.60 which is totally worth it for the quality of food. Pipel is one of the best Falafels in London.

after i searched for a medetarian meal i found pilpel restaurant

This is our second visit to Pilpel. The sandwiches are AWESOME! Make sure you're super hungry when you go as the portions are huge.

Fresh and crunchy falafels! Love this place!!! Staff are so friendly.. It is one of my favourite places

We had lunch at Pilpel falafel. It has got one of the best falafel that I have ever had. It is quite filling and it is difficult to have one full falafel. It is also quite economical. I would recommend trying out Falafel with Aubergine, if you like aubergines.

Fresh and crunchy falafels! Love this place!!! Staff are so friendly.. It is one of my favourite places. Only issue is when I have gone the last two times they didn’t have most of the ingredients so not sure why you have to pay for the full price!! Which was a bit disappointing.. Anyway was too hungry to argue.

I’ve bought from here several times and echo all the comments about these being the BEST FALAFELS EVER!!” They are crispy and hot and the salad is generous and tasty but......

I have been to Pilpel many times and it never disappoints. You might get put off by the large queue but the staff works so fast that you are served within 5 min! The portions are large enough even for men (i think) and even though i am no vegetarian, it is one of the most tasty food i know :-)

Pasado entramos aquí tantas veces (normalmente con una gran cola de salida de la puerta! Pero en realidad tenía almuerzo) desde aquí por primera vez. Increíble! ! Falafel son deliciosos, tuve el tazón de ensalada fresca y muy buena, y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Recomiendo encarecidamente

He sido por primera vez para un almuerzo tardío, ya que normalmente entre 12:30 y 2 la cola está fuera de la puerta, en la calle. Es popular entre los trabajadores de oficina, trabajan en la zona. Ahora entiendo lo de la agitación. Estas falafels están fuera de este mundo, crujientes y deliciosos. Suntuoso, el mejor falafel que he probado en Londres. El relleno de ensalada para el pitta/contenedor también son deliciosos. Un pitta me costó £4. 80, un contenedor de ensaladas era un poco más. Si estás en la zona, GO GO GO!

I ordered a mediteranian and they forgot to put a main ingredient which was the aubergines and i did say put everything

The people who work here are always happy and smiley. The food is delicious, the salads that come in the falafel box are delicious too. Highly recommend

Ser vegetariano me encanta el Falafels! Además, nos pareció la mejor relación calidad-precio de la zona de aparcamiento en la calle (bouverie, CE4Y 8 DP!

Delicious crunchy falafel, soft fluffy pitta, fresh salad, hummus & tahini sauce - what more could you want? Great option for vegans and the staff are absolutely lovely!

Best place to have vegetarian food in London. Falafels are fresh and cooked in-front of you. They serve brown pita bread and pita pockets. Not sure but mostly serve gluten free food too. Awesome service, friendly staff.

I really enjoyed eating at this restaurant. It was good and different from the rest. I do recommand you to try it

If you are a Vegetarian and looking for a place to have the Best Falafel / Pita in a pocket Pilpel is the place. Amazing combination of salads and hot Falafel in a pita bread. Their Hummus is very flavoursome. Whenever I am in London We make sure we grab from Here. Great value for money and a happy healthy tummy

Visited here to compare to another falafel takeaway nearby. The food was great, on par with the other restaurant, tasty falafels that were crispy and a bit better than the others I'd had locally but it is soooooo noisy! I was asked to repeat my order twice and after shouting over the counter it was still wrong when I got back to my desk! Also, much like the other place, you are really rushed to order and get frowned upon if you need or want to make a decision. No need for the music to be loud when you have queues of people trying to be heard. That's said, great veggie food and I will certainly try them again

This place is a real gem. Hidden on a side street off Fleet Street, it's popular with the City folk that work round here. However, the staff were very friendly and welcoming to me, a first-timer.I opted for the falafel pita with a selection of the salads. It was absolutely delicious! I'm a huge meat-lover but I could eat this regularly. Flavourful, crunchy falafel, sour cream, juicy vegetables, houmous, and the softest pita I have ever tasted. Do yourself a favour and have lunch here one day. My bill came to just £4.80!

Very good falafel with a good selection of fresh salads. I like that they hand you a falafel ball already to eat while waiting - a brilliant gesture.

Falafel in the pita (white or brown bread) is truly fascinating. The people who work there are polite and will help you out with suggestions if you're to come for the first time.

If u love flafel or vege food in general go for that one.Lovely sekection of flafel and excellent service.

I work on fleet street and have decided to check out eateries around the area. I had falafel in pilpel and have to say they make the best falafel in London. Very bubbly and friendly staff and reasonably priced. You have the option of having it in a pati or in a bowl. Pilpel is quite hidden you'd have to turn into a little side street just behind pauls bakery. Small on the inside with stools to sit on. You have the Mediterranean and Greek options. Really good lunch spot.

I visited the Spitalfield's branch of PilPel for a quick bite while at the market - the service was speedy, food ready to go and absolutely delicious! The falafel was the best I have had.

Rico lugar de comida express con especialidad en falafel de variados tipos. Buen precio y versiones de este manjar de oriente.

Pilpel now have 3 branches. I usualy go to the one in Spitafields which is open 7 days a week!Pilpel make one of the best falafels, which are 'green' inside. I used to go to Maoz in Soho, which has a similar offering, but I did not like the self-service salad bar, as customers were not hygienic when serving from the bar. So I am glad, I have found Pilpel , where the staff will the bread with any salad of your choice.The price is around £5-£6. Great value and filling.

Pilpel does the best falafels in London! And the salads are great too!One regret: they do not deliver :(

This is my favourite PilPel, but they all provide the same consistent incredible fast food and all have the FRIENDLIEST staff. I love this place because the food is so fresh no matter what time you go in, they never run out of ingredients and the warmest staff whip up your falafel box or pitta at lightning speed. The place gets rammed every lunch time, but you never have to wait long and you nearly always get given a free piece of falafel whilst you wait.For just £5.25 you get a huge portion that will fill any belly and there are quite a few sauces and extras to finish it off if you want. The loyalty card is a real bonus because you get a free lunch every 9 or so purchases (be kind enough to pick up your friends' or colleagues' lunch and you can have their stamps)!! One of my fav lunch spots.

After reading that Pilpel make what is considered one of the best falafels in London, I had to try! Well, it has indeed one of the best ones. I got mine in a pitta bread with a nice selection of fillings, everything fresh and tasty. The service was absolutely amazing, thanks to Alexandra, she is a true star! My only concern is about the pitta bread, it was a little undercooked, and if it was served a little warmed, it would made my meal even better! Definitely recommended! I will come back on every opportunity.

Waiting for the EasyBus there was some time for food. I walked by this place but was a little bit in doubt.. it looked like a chain. Inside I was warmly welcomed by the staff and five minutes later I walked outside with my salad box with crispy fresh falafel. Just accross the road there is a big square where you can sit down, relax, enjoy the sun and be amazed by the great food of Pilpel

Amazing falafel and customer service!! I recommend it to all the falafel lovers. The humus its really nice!!! ;) I will come back

I ordered a falafel in a pita and it was really good. They put in hummus, salad, sauce, etc. The pitas are also big so I was quite full leaving.

El trato normal, el lugar estaba limpio, se ve que lo limpiaban todos los días concienzudamente. Los pitas muy ricos recomendables, también los containers, pero se hacen más pesados en mi opinión.

Tried the falafel at the Spittlefields market outlet. We were given a free sample and thought it was delicious so two confirmed carnivores went veggie for lunch! The pitta was loaded with a mix of salads and houmous and of course a good portion of falafel. We are converted and will definitely be back again the next time we are visiting London.

Been going to Pilpel for a couple of years now. There is actually better falafel in the market across the road and I would def not say it is number 1 eatery in Spittalfields - there are many brilliant places around. However, the falafel box is very tasty, it is good value and def a lunchtime staple once a fortnight.

Pilpel is always busy but it's my favourite falafel in London! The falafel is also wheat free unlike most other places and if you order in a container (without the pitta) they normally give you a couple of extras! Remember to take cash as not all Pilpel branches take card.

Det var den godaste falafel jag någonsin har ätit! Servicen var trevlig. Det finns inget att klaga på.

I have fallen in love with this place but beware its filling! :)I came across Pilpel a few weeks ago whilst shopping in Spitafields. They have two places in the same area. The falafels are truly authentic, the bread great and overall its a really healthy meal. I love Lebanese food and love the restaurants around Edgware road. This takeaway goes head to head with those restaurants with the quality of food and the service is great.Even better are the portions for greedy piggy's like me.My girlfriend found the portions a little too big, but thats just more for me! :)Go go go!

Friendly service and delicious falafel!The salads are nice and fresh and the falafels are crispy and delicious. Very friendly staff who offer free samples!Very impressed!

We regularly get take outs for lunch at work. Salads include hummus, taboulleh, fallafel, pickles etc. served with a pitta which will be round and soft. I also like their chilli sauce but it's hot and others are available if this is an issue. Prices ard very reasonable given just how good the food is.

Went here for lunch and was not disappointed at all. Great cheap and tasty feed with fantastic customer service. One criticism would be the hummus, lacking flavour. @instabuilt

It's (small) chain food, but what's not to like? The falafels are perfectly crisp and dry outside and soft inside, the accompanying vegetables are varied and fresh, prices are correct, quantities are plentiful (and they are very ready to give out a little extra falefel if you wait too long or if you are new and are standing around undecided...). Maybe hummus and gaucamole can be improved a little.One characteristic of this chain is that staff are selected/trained to be incredibly kind and pleasant. Looks simple and obvious, but it ain't! Let's hope this philosophy lasts as the chain expands, and in the meanwhile congratulations to the management. Thanks for making London a bit more like NYC in this respect!

I go here regularly even though it's a ten minute walk from work. The falafel are among the best I have had, the staff are super friendly, free falafel while you wait, big portions, tasty salads and it's good for you! I would happily recommend this to anyone.

Great service - if you queue for more than a couple of minutes the staff hand out free falafel balls.The food is great, whether it's in a pita or a plate. I often struggle to finish eating all the salads on the plate.The salads are crisp and super fresh.

One of the best falafels I have ever had! Good quantity, excellent taste and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

I work in the neighborhood thus would go for lunch there. Had the falafel n it's pretty good. The quantity is more than enough for 1 person.

Best falafel I've had and really good value for money in this part of London! Always a huge queue and you can see why

From the outside of the store, it does not look too tempting, but I tried the falafel samples they give out and I was sold! The falafel is made fresh and taste delicious and the pita bread so soft and fluffy! The queue gets quite long during lunch time but the service is fast and efficient so it moves along quite quickly. Highly recommended if you are in the area and want a quick bite.

Best falafel I have had,ever!! I'm so dissapointed I didn't find this place sooner! The staff are so engaging while preparing your meal that it feels as though you're actually helping make it, and you get a free falafel dipped in their delicious tahini while you wait what more can you ask for? Go now!

I would really recommend it to my friends , So worth the money you spend as the portion size are really big, the taste is awesome at the same time.

best falafel ever - so tasty , filling and really eye catching good comedy to bring you in nothing to fault friendly staff and my family had a lovely lunch in spitafields really reccomend as a exotic eatery

Pilpel takes falafel to another level!! It's so good, and the salads are delicious too. I just wish it had more branches across London and longer opening hours (including the weekend)! One of my fave lunch spots, a must visit if you're hanging around Spitalfields during the week.

I've been to Pilpel around six times in three months because I just can't get enough of that chick pea goodness! The staff are relentlessly nice, genuine and sweet people- they apologise for your wait even if there is none and they offer little tidbits of different foods to taste while you queue. At about £7 a pop you can't go wrong at Pilpel. Fantastic veggie food, nutritious and health and completely fresh. You can actually watch them make your falafel from a big batch of squished up spiced and seasoned chickpeas. You can make it spicy or mild to taste and it's one of the few truly filling kinds of fast food available in the area.Go on, treat yourself and get involved!

Außergewöhnlich freundlich und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Essen spitze, frisch, geschmackvoll, einfach gut!

I work very nearby and this is the place for a wonderful lunch. The salads are scrummy and so are the falafel. I have the container without the pitta which is just right. I look with amazement at those who can pack away a pitta jammed full of the stuff.The staff are great. I have a right laugh with them. They are always cheerful.

I'd been working in the area for the last 6 months and Pilpel on a friend's recommendation became a regular place to grab my lunch. The food is outstanding. Really good falafel with different options for salads, sauces and spice.The portions are generous and the staff are incredibly friendly inside. Even when you walk past and the queue looks unbearable, join it! They are really very quick inside to make sure nobody has to wait that long! I recommended it to colleagues and clients and they were also very impressed! Shame I don't work around there any more! Just take note that while you can eat inside, there is a very limited number of seating options so be prepared to take your food elsewhere.

Picked up one of their pittas with falafel and Greek salad. The falafels were cooked fresh as when ordered. The salad selection is fantastic. Would definitely go back when I'm next passing.

I was recommended Pilpel by a colleague who claimed it to be the best falafel he had tasted outside of Israel, if not the Middle East. I can only imagine that he is right!The food is delicious; the falafel has just enough moisture and there is a great selection of salad and sauces on offer. I like the fact that there is a choice as to how you would like your falafel, and the prices are very reasonable. Last time I went the staff also let me have my drink free of charge! Well worth a visit, and it can be quicker to visit this branch rather than the one in Spitalfields Market itself as the latter can get very busy at times.

The best must be tried once being in london....Hope its chain starts in other places tooo....And also don't forget to taste the same before you buy....

One of the best falafels I have had ever! Used to go there regularly during my lunch hours. Best falafels in town. Good value for money. All the falafels are freshly made and the whole combo is awesome. Loads of salad, good amount of falafels. Altogether awesome place!

I usually visit Pilpel when in the area around Spitalfields and find it among the best of the various falafel bars and cafes that have sprung up in London. There is usually enough seating space available and the variations on how you want your falafel- I usually have mine with the salads in a pita- are very reasonably priced and the staff are particularly friendly!

Ótima comida! Eles sempre fazem o falafel na hora. E que falafel! Delicioso! Você pode comer dentro do pão pita ou num prato. Vem acompanhado de diversas opções de salada, tudo muito bom. Recomendo! Há uma loja também dentro do Spitalfield market. E quando você chega para conhecer o lugar, eles sempre te oferecem falafel grátis para você experimentar.

I have been to a quite few of their branches and always make a point to eat from there if ever I pass one!!! Their food is so tasty and fresh. Great staff and they always let you eat a falafel while you wait. I always go for the one with grilled aubergines which tastes heavenly!!!

Absolutely love this falalel place. I work across the road and have been coming here regularly since it opened. The queues are long at lunchtime but they move fast, and the staff keep customers happy by handing out fresh, hot falafel while you wait. It's better than a lot of the falafel places I've been to in the Middle East. Totally fantastic place, with lovely, friendly staff.

very good falafel, a real one, with fresh vegtebles, fresh pita and salads. Clean and tasty at old spithelfield market.

Quite regular at this place when I am near to this place! Busy for a reason and most people do takeaway. Falafel heaven and served with very good salad.

I love this place. The service is always quick and friendly and usually involves a free 'taster' falafel to whet the tastebuds. I go for the container, which is full of scrummy salads, hummus and falafel. The falafel here are just so good and crunchy. The pita bread is so yummy,, not like anything shop bought at all. It's more a place to grab and run, although there is a small amount of seating inside and at their stall in Spitalfields market there are tables to sit at as well. Highly recommend as a good value option for lunch in the Spitalfields area.

This place is just awesome with pitta wraps. I love the falafel wrap. The ambience is nice as well along with the service.

Title says it all. Amazing falafel pitta's and nice and filling you can have them the way you want, choose your salad, sauce etc. One of my favorite lunch places.

It is huge, cheap, and full, so full it is difficult to eat, but really the felafel is exquisite, and the pita bread is amazing, you can also chose brown or withe pita, excellent. It is a little crowded during lunch time for all the people taking breaks from the offices surrounded it

I just go back again and again to Pilpel for my lunch. In the office we berate each other for bringing it back because it isn't fair if it isn't you with the Pilpel Falafels in a pita. The falafels are freshly cooked and still hot, the salad and sauces just yummy and the pita is so fresh it leaves all those other sandwich bars that put things in a wrap miles behind.Long live Pilpel. Who needs meat.That's just the food though. The process of getting it is lovely thanks to the staff who somehow create a really fantastic buzzing atmosphere. It just makes me happy after a morning in front a computer.

Every time I come here I am extremely pleased and leave satisfied, good selection of salad lovely sauces service is friendly and the price excellent! Will return every Friday with out fail!!

Visited here on a Sunday - it was quiet and we were able to grab a stool, but whilst there there was a gentle stream of customers (mostly regulars from what I can gather) grabbing a takeaway.We opted for a white pitta with falafel. The pitta was stuffed to the brim with lots of fresh salad, chilli sauce, gorgeous tahini and hummus. Whilst we were waiting the server gave us a falafel bite dipped in the tahini as a taster. For drinks I had one of their special Israeli canned beverages - apple, and my friend had the strawberry one. Nice change from Diet Coke.Everything was excellent and as I mentioned, extremely fresh - we left full with a bill for 2 coming to just £12. Only thing to mention is that it's cash only, but that's not a huge issue with such low prices. Recommend.

Stopped by the branch at St. Paul's for a take out lunch one day due to the tantalizing smells coming from this place. Ordered the standard falafel in whole meal pita. Being from the Middle East myself I must say the falafel is excellent and authentic. Plenty of salad, crunch, and spice with every bite. Very reasonably priced for lunch in London compared to many other places. Can't wait to go back!

The best falafel I've ever had. Better than anything I've ever had in the Middle East, shame on your maroush. They are also very generous and always give you a falafel while you're waiting and are very polite

I'd never normally pick veggie food, but this is a game changer for me. By far my favourite take out lunch place when I go to London. Falafel is stunning with great salads &amp; wraps too. This is a treasure.

Great service and great food at Pilpel. When they are not busy they will offer you a tasty falafel dipped in tahini to eat whilst you are queuing up to order. It's also excellent value for money.

I am a big falafel fan but not a fan of takeout lunches as I always feel that they really don't offer value for money, especially around London. Having exhausted most of the places around my office over recent weeks I quickly searched 'Falafel near Liverpool St' and found Pilpel. After diving headlong into the furore which is the ordering experience and watching the faster falafel filler I've ever seen I emerge blinking into the daylight with falafel pitta in hand. Knowing the danger that is tahini dip vs. clean shirt I decided to return to my desk to eat it. One bite and I knew it was going to be amazing! It was ram packed full to the brim with some of the tastiest falafel, salad, chillies, onions and sauce and it knocked me sideways. I would heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a filling, nutritious, value for money, tasty lunch around London. Just bring cash, because they don't take card and dive in feet first!

Since going out with a veggie i've started eating a lot of veggie food and become somewhat of a connoisseur of falafel. So decided to try Pilpel. Let me start with the fact it's very good, but it's not wow. Mr. Falafel in Shep Bush market is wow, White House (Kosher) in North London is also wow. The actual falafel are quite average. I had one to eat on its own. I'd give that a 3/5. Where the overall experience comes up is the extras. they have lots or variety and don't skimp and they offer wholemeal pitta which is a prerequisite in London. You have to pay for everything which is a not good so my pocket with everything was about £9 (but it had EVERYTHING). If you're in the area i'd say you'll have a good time and you might even think it's the best you've ever tasted. However i'd say the Mr. Fafafel is the best in London by a country mile. They focus on wraps over pockets and everything is included, so ann XL wholemeal wrap with 5 falafel, avocado, feta, mint, sauces etc is only £6.30 which is amazing value. I have to say Pilpel is great but i'm comparing it to better places and with that it falls short.

I have visited various branches of Pilpel over the years and I have never been disappointed. The choice is limited to falafel in a pita or on a platter. The latter is better in my view and comes with a pita (choice of white or brown) anyway. Extra toppings of feta, hard boiled egg or deep fried aubergine can also be ordered but really are not necessary.The basic proposition is a plastic bowl which is spread with hummus, then a choice of salads and pickles is added, then half a dozen freshly fried falafel balls and then topped with optional chilli sauce and tahini.My visit was a lunchtime on a weekday. The place is very popular and the small shop was full of people. Despite a slightly shambolic arrangement of two queues and one till operator, the staff worked a lightening speed and within a few seconds each meal was skillfully assembled. Most diners were taking their falafel away and so I was easily able to get a seat in the window area. What strikes me about this place is just how fresh everything is. Each element is so simple and yet works together so well. Salads include grated carrot, picked red cabbage, shredded white cabbage, raw onions in a dressing, taboule, pickled chilli and picked gherkins. I think they are different each day.The falafel is amazing because is it cooked fresh every few minutes. Is is crunchy on the outside and soft inside, flavored with green herbs. The only possible criticism I could level is that the falafel is not spicy as one would get in Israel, but I suppose the shop is aiming for a broader appeal.It is all delicious and is also great value too. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

First time when I went in, there was a long queue as usual but worried what will I get in the rush.The people at the counter are very friendly and helpful. They also give Falafel to try it out.The fragrance of their food suppresses the nearby restaurants flavour during afternoon (near st Pauls).Very good quality, excellent fresh taste.Cant wait to go back.

I love the Pipel stand at Spitalfields market: freshly made, perfectly crunchy falafel, served in a pita with lusciously creamy hummus, a tasty tahini sauce and a large selection of fresh and pickled veg.

If you are bored with Pret and M&amp;S sandwiches and don't fancy ITSU, but still want to stay on the side of healthy then try Pilpel in Spitafields. The falafels are ace and the service is fast and friendly.
