Hits the spot

I got the doner kebab. It was delicious and HUUUGE! I’m not sure I’d describe it as doner though, more like a spiced chicken.

Pros: Delicious, Good portion sizes

Worth the visit

I’ve been trying to get a what the pitta for some time. Each time I’ve visited london it’s been in between Christmas and new year and it’s been shut. This time I FINALLY got one and it did not disappoint. I had the vegan doner kebab with garlic Mayo and chilli sauce with all the salad with chips and WOW! The only way I can describe it is like an authentic kebab you get when you visit Turkey. I always tell my partner before I went vegan the best kebabs I ever had were in Turkey and now he knows what I mean. The doner is so taste and seasoned to perfections. The salad is so fresh and crunchy and it was drowned in sauce. The chips were cooked perfectly snd the drink selection was large. It was well worth the money, the portion size was huge and we were gutted to have to leave some. I will definitely be visiting what the pitta again as soon as I can!

Pros: Authentic Turkish kebab flavours, Large portions, Fresh salad

Didn’t last long… in a good way

The fresh wrap was delicious and held the ‘meat’ and salad. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo as it was devoured fairly quickly.

Stays consistent

I've been a big fan of What the Pitta for a number of years now. From the humble stalls at Vegfest, they have always stayed consistent and on point with their offerings.

I tred the souvlaki wrap which was amazing.

Sensational vegan doner

My friend and I share a doner wrap with extra doner meat, 20 nuggets, onion rings and curly fries every time we deliveroo. We keep trying to try something else but always fall back on what we know we love. I took a Turkish friend once whose dad ran a chain of kebab shops, and she loved it. So that’s a pretty good recommendation right there.

Pros: The donner meat is divine

Cons: Shoreditch branch not dog friendly

Great food

I had a mezze box, and was a little worried it would be greasy looking at some of the doner photos, but it was lovely! Fresh tasting salad with couscous, falafel, tatziki and hummus. Very nice

Best Junk food in London!

I love this place, every time I’m in Shoreditch I can’t help myself but going to eat here. Their kebab plates are huge and you can put all sort of things as a topping, on the base there’s french fries. I’m hungry even just thinking about it!

Like the old days

As a reformed omnivore, I have to admit, I did miss a good doner kebab, minus all the cruelty and murder. But this really hits that craving right on the target. The fake meat is almost TOO similar if you know what I mean, but they really did what they set out to do. Not sure I like to Box park setting, but was good food nonetheless.

Better than meat

My boyfriend couldn't believe that this wasn't meat. Said it was the best kebab he'd ever had.

Amazing portions for the price that you pay! The food is to a very nice quality and thankfully they offer you really nice sauces to make your 'kebab' extra juicy.

Can’t believe it’s not meat

This was one of the greatest meals I’ve had in a long time. Tastes meaty instead of a sub-par meat alternative but so fresh and light. Long wait because it’s so popular and busy but well worth the wait!!

Pros: Tastes like meat, Fresh and light

Cons: Long wait but not really their fault (very busy)

Nice concept

I ordered the vegan mezze box with vöner. The portion is colourful with vegetables and couscous and a generous portion of marinated soy chunks. I have had better vöner yet the dish did the trick for my hungry state.
