Best Falafel Ever - Edit
Hard to add anything new to the superlatives below, after almost a decade of veganism I generally go out of my way to avoid falafel but this falafel pitta is its own thing, it's just so unbelievably delicious - the queue speaks for itself!

10/10 falafel pita! - Edit
Super food! Heard a recommendation from someone but didn't realise it's a popular/busy place! Got there at 11:30 on a Saturday, it was getting busy fast and a long queue formed quickly! We are in London fields as it's taken away only.

Amazing pitta with falafel - Edit
This place does only one dish and it does it exceedingly well! They do pitta falafel wrap and nothing else, except a drink.
Read moreAll the ingredients seem fresh and it all seems to be prepared onsite. The pittas are fresh, the falafels are fresh and the cabbage/sauerkraut thing seems fresh (in the sense it is made by them or some kind of artisan place rather than a bog standard jar one).
Highly recommend a visit! I’ll be back for sure! Loved every bite of it! It’s quite filling too!
Just a heads up there is no seating but there is a wall opposite people can sit on to eat their pitta wrap. Also there’s nowhere to wash your hands so if hygiene matters bring some water/wet wipes to clean your hands - they will get dirty if you eat on the street!

Pockets - Edit
OMG these are amazing pitas! They are definitely a reimagined version, as we detected curry flavors—a welcomed addition. The fried potato was an interesting add. The falafel was bright green and flavorful and the pita was pillowy soft. It was so delicious I ate the whole thing!!! Definitely 1,000% recommend this place!!! It’s worth traveling to but be advised we waited in line 40 minutes due to Pockets’ popularity and it’s massive line.

redefined falafel - Edit
When I heard of them first time i didn't think someone with only one falafel meal on menu can survive 2024 in london. Well, they prove me to be wrong. Redefined falfael:D it really is good, the queues are horrendous tho

Unbelievable falafel - Edit
Pockets is incredible. I crave their falafel all the time and I say this as someone who was so bored of falafel growing up as a vegetarian that I usually go out of my way not to eat it!

Don’t suffer bad falafel and try this place! - Edit
The falafel itself is cooked well, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The steamed pita is unusual but delicious. The salad and sauces work well together. If you’re a falafel appreciator, it’s worth lining up, I promise.

Delicious falafel - Edit
I've been a frequent visitor for my pocket fix since they were located at Netil Market; now they have their own place close by. They only offer one thing and they do it perfectly: it's delicious with homemade bread, several sauces, something fried, pickled chilies... and all at a very decent price. If you ask they will tweak it (e.g. remove an ingredient or add chilli). Everyone I've shared it with has loved it and still talks about it months later.

Cons: The outdoor queue can be insane

Heavenly - Edit
I'm not one that normally joins long queues for places, but I had time to kill today and I'm glad that I did. The pitta is crispy outside and soft inside. The falafel and sauces are delicious. Generous size too. £9.

Cons: Long queue ;)

Best falafel I’ve ever had - Edit
This is the best falafel I’ve ever had. Flavours are amazing. Expect to queue for around 30 mins but it’s worth it. Pitta is stuffed with potato fritter, chilli, pickled mango sauce and more. Seems like great value at £8.50. Will definitely be back here
Read morePros: Amazing flavours, Good value
Cons: You will have to queue

Amazing pittas - Edit
Had a falafel pitta from them and it was so so good, definitely one of the best falafel pittas I've had! Really recommend them, I plan on going back frequently. Better to go earlier in the day as towards the late afternoon they may sell out (this happened when I went but luckily I still managed to get one).

Best. Pittas. Ever. - Edit
This gem of a place serves the absolute best vegan street food I encountered. The Falafel is just fantastic, and it comes in the fluffiest, most delicious, home baked pittas - not your run of the mill stuff. Everything fresh, and home made, and it shows. If you are lucky enough to be there when other dishes are available, such as the vegan diner, or the Sabich - be sure to try them as well. The Falafel is definitief my favourite, bit the others are more special. Whatever you get, I guarantee you'd love it!
Read morePros: Home baked pittas!
Cons: Cannot eat more than one at a time...
