Pilpel has emerged as a beloved destination for falafel lovers, serving vibrant vegetarian pittas that are both flavorful and filling. Diners rave about the crispy falafel and generous toppings, especially the unique sabich, an Israeli specialty loaded with aubergine and boiled eggs. Despite occasional complaints about portion sizes and rising prices, the overall consensus is that the food is delightful, with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. The bustling lunch crowd can attest to its popularity, and while there's an appeal for more sustainable packaging, the culinary experience at Pilpel remains a highlight in London’s food scene.
