In a recent visit to the Spitafields market location the experience wasn't quite the same as previous visits. The falafel didn't seem fresh and the quality of the salads was not great. There was too much sauce for my liking and that ruined the dish. I ended up taking a few bites and gave the food away as it wasn't appetising or visually appealing. Having said that, I have had better experiences at other locations so I'm hoping this was a one off. Do be aware the queue is long in the Spitafields location during lunch.

(This was actually the original store.) I mean, there's not much that I can add to the other reviews, other than that their concept f.... works! Here's what you should do, when you come here: 1) Decide if you're super-hungry (2a) or just hungry (2b). (Don't come here if you're just peckish) 2a) Right, you're super-hungry. In that case I suggest you go for the falafel salad in a box. For extra protein and deliciousness, I'd add an egg for an extra 60p. (And if you really want to go crazy, add that dollop of tasty guacamole as well!) 2b) You're hungry? Go for the classic falafel sandwich in pita bread - make sure to get the wholemeal pita, as your health will thank you for it! (You can certainly also add all the extras as described above, but let me tell you that eating this will be a messy undertaking!) Now, last but not least, please make sure that especially if you're going for option 2b, you take plenty of napkins with you - as you will need them!

I had the chicken wrap with extra guacamole and all the trimmings. The bread wrap taste fresh and fluffy and the chicken has a great flavour to it. I enjoyed every bite and having not eaten before hand (it was 1pm), you can imagine how well it went down. I also gave their sweet potato falafel a try. I now prefer sweet potato falafel. Delicious, with a slight kick and just not as dry as normal falafel. Yum. This is a great addition to Exmouth Market and a must stop lunch spot.

Sorry, but I'm not sorry for dropping this 1-star review…read more I checked the opening hours (Sunday) -- BOTH on Yelp and on the website. I've visited this location before and was looking to grab a late-ish lunch and eat in the park. Typically you'd think a chain should have fairly standard hours. It said they closed at 5pm. I showed up at 430, there were many people eating on the patio, the chalkboard still out and door wide open. I walked in. ...and they told me they were closed. At 430pm? What an odd time to close. Then I just felt ticked off that I'd made the journey and these slackers wanted to close early and be ready to jet at exactly 5pm. Unacceptable. I will not return.

I like this quote and to me it really encompasses what this place is all about: a great falafel experience! In fact, Israeli store owner Uri Dinay, who opened the store in honor of his grand father, has done a fantastic job with this (second) store in London. I have been here now twice and both times I really loved it. First time around I had the pita bread stuffed to the brim with delicious falafels, tabouleh, chickpeas and other goodies. The second time around I went for the salad box filled with all the same stuff, just with the pita bread on the side. Both were delicious: I'd recommend the former one for the smaller appetite and the latter one for the bigger appetite. In any case, try to come early, as the lunch crowd can be quite ferocious!

This was one of my top 5 places I planned to eat at during my month long vacation in London. I wanted a falafel place and this Palestinian spot was perfect. These guys are lovable and friendly and they make a great sandwich at an inexpensive price and the sandwiches are very healthy for you. Falafel made on the spot while you wait. I recommend their most expensive sandwich and the spicy chips. Realize the more expensive the roll, the size doesn't increase, only the ingredients change. Unfortunately London is a house of ruins when it comes to hummus because they water it down with about a gallon of the Thames river, everywhere you go. Why doesn't anyone make their own hummus and do it right? There is indoor seating available with tables. My advice is buy your falafel and head deeper into Shepherd's Bush Market until you reach Osman's Juice, and there are chairs there under cover. Get some pure sugar can juice, freshly squeezed, and go to heaven, or he will mix anything he has to your your delight. May The Falafel be with you! Sorry, I missed taking photos, just ate the sandwich.

A permanent fixture located in the hip Boxpark Shoreditch area. It's kind of like the container park in Las Vegas, except with great weather and 99% less douchy. They're open 7 days a week for your doner fix, or as an invitation to introduce you to the delicious Vegan version of a classic Turkish food. Think of a falafel wrap, but with Seitan instead of chickpea balls. It was so good that my babygirl who normally is quite indifferent towards middle eastern food, gobbled up more than her fair share of the wrap. I was quite proud of that girl! Don't forget to ask for a side of hot sauce. Very friendly service and the wrap came out at lighting speed despite being fairly busy. They DO NOT skimp on the filling here. That bad boy was quite girthy! It was also fairly reasonably priced @ £7.95 or so. In addition to the doner, they serve some sort of pizza and some salads. Although honestly, what more do you need than a Vegan doner wrap and a cold beer? (Brewdogs is just down the street)
