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

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.

I had a great experience at this branch located off Bishopsgate near Liverpool Street. After a long day of work, I was craving Piplel, but unfortunately not all the options I wanted were available. Luckily, Jarrell went out of his way to suggest an alternative selection that suited my tastes. He even took the extra step to contact another branch in Spitafields to prepare my Piplel container with all the original options I had originally requested. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and was more than satisfied when I finally enjoyed my Pippel. The combination of great service and delicious food truly made my day!

This is my favourite branch of this mini-chain, which offers a selection of falafel options and other Middle-Eastern dips and classics. Falafels are proper and freshly fried, richly garnished and deliciously crispy outside and moist inside. This venue is in a particularly atmospheric setting and the personnel is particularly friendly. Prices are reasonable. Great option for a quick, tasty and healthy meal.

Not only have they raised their price by £1 they have also reduced the size of their containers and the portions inside. To raise both the price and the portion decrease and the same time just doesn’t sit right with me at all. I won’t be using them for my go to lunch spot ever again.
