Pilpel (Spitalfields)

Just tried Pilpel for the first time after having walked past it often since it opened. I was very impressed!! I opted for the Falafel in a box with all the salads from the bar (which includes Houmous), some extra Aubergine and was pleasantly surprised that they give you a pitta with it. All this for £4.49 + 40p for the aubergine.

All in all I think it's great value for the area (I reckon for the extra 50p you're better off getting the box rather than falafel in pitta)....and I was absolutely stuffed after eating it! Trust me the portions are very generous! This place always has a queue out the door at lunchtimes and now I know why. I'll definitely be back for more!

quite good for lunchtime around Spitalfields. cheaper than most places in the area but i'd go for takeaway rather than sit-down because it's a small place and the music can be loud.

falafel is ok and the hummus is tasty but 3.99 for hummus and pita, maybe its cheaper to bring from home? still i would go if you are looking for something light and healthy (not burger or something) because prices are low and smoothies are very nice.
