A high-energy, no-frills Israeli pita bar serving some of London's most acclaimed falafel and sabich in a bustling, grab-and-go setting.
Ordering Strategy
This is strictly a counter-service affair; order a pita rather than a plate to let the sauces soak into the bread, and be prepared to eat standing up or take it away.
What to order
Falafel
Hardens describes these as 'outstanding delicious falafels' and the 'star turn' of the restaurant, while Eater London ranks them among the 'finest in the city.'
Sabich
Described by Eater as a 'cannonball' of a sandwich, critics claim it looks like what would happen if Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi 'used all their powers to hone a sandwich.'
Hand-Cut Chips
An exceptional side dish that critics claim is 'capable of sparking homesickness' for anyone born in the Mediterranean or Middle East.
