Great food and lots of it

I had the vegan döner menu. I've been vegan a long ass time so döner was not really trendy yet at the time - meaning I've never tried a 'kebab' before. So I figured why not? It was really delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the sauce (I had tahini) was yum. The portions were also enormous... I could/should've made it two meals but it was so yummy I did not 😂

Pros: Really friendly staff, Generous portions and good seasoning

That vegan Döner menu 🤤

If you want an all vegan kebab place, this place is worth checking out!
I asked for a recommendation and it didn’t disappoint at all!!
Meal menu, vegan döner with fries & drinks 🌯🍟
Their portions are good! I thought I would have to buy more food but I’m full 😆 and I’m a big eater!

Pros: Good prices , Big portions , Juicy “meat”

Good food

Friendly service and great food. The place itself does not have a lot of atmosphere but then again it's a fast food place. Would definitely love to have one of these in my neighborhood where there's only meat kebab places.

Pros: Fully vegan, Tasty, Big portions

Cons: Lacks atmosphere

Vegan fast food experience

Veganised doner kebab & chips. There is actually quite a few vegetables stuffed into the kebab if you tell them you want everything.

Nice team & founders

Pros: Outside space & Other options available too , Quick food without harming animals , Killer chips

Cons: Always feel a bit guilty after eating fast food

Amazing vegan chicken gyro!

Everything looked so good but I ended up getting the vegan chicken gyro. It was so delicious. The vegan chicken was so tasty, the fries and pita were delicious and the whole thing was just amazing. I want to go back for the falafel next time!

Pros: All vegan, Very affordable , Friendly staff

Thank you Tea Eilish

What a lovely experience I had this week visiting the Brick Lane store. Very tasty food and super friendly staff. I'd like to highlight a girl, her name is Tea, she's extremely nice. So friendly and even played Billie Eilish songs for me. Very cute. She made my day. Thank you What The Pitta and Tea Eilish.

No Döner compares

This is the best Döner ever, and many meat eating friends prefer this over a meat Döner. Get the classic Döner Kebab as a meal with the baklava- so soo delicious. The bread, the „meat“, the Sauce, the fillings. A DREAM. Top tip: ask them to cut the kebab on half (they’re really big and if like me you can’t finish the whole thing you can have the other half for lunch the next day)

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.
