Delicious doner

Doner and chips box with burger sauce is a must! Boxpark has loads of vegan options now but what the pitta is one of my personal faves. I always get a meal deal as I absolutely the baklava and who couldn't resist a deal with food?! The shop/box is a little bit small and can get a bit cramped waiting for food, but I always manage to get my food pretty quickly and can find seating quite easily on the benches outside. My non-veg friends also found the food delicious and couldn't believe that it was vegan.

Pros: Delicious all vegan food, Meal deals, Good portion size

Cons: Shop is a bit cramped

Amazing!!

We had the vegan doner and the chips box plus the lumachun. Everything was absolutely delicious. Big portions and good friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Pros: Great food

Cons: Some tiny burnt bits in the seitan but not a major

Best pita ever

It was the best pita I've ever eaten. I was really surprised, it is really similar to the traditional kebab I wat. But it's vegan so it's the best

better than temple!

bold statement, I know! but this really WAS better than temple of Hackney/saitan!

The staff were more friendly and helpful, the queue was shorter and the portion sizes were huge!

we had a donner box and a donner meal, both fantastic and could only just finish them. great salad mix to go with the "kebab" and a great choice of sauces to accompany too.

There is also tonnes of seating, both inside and out, unlike temple. Although, I think the boxpark complex is a bit of an odd place to eat. it just doesn't feel very relaxed because there are so many vendors and customers all squished together, so we sat on the street to eat ours.

I think the cost matches any similar food in this area. and I'm happy to pay for food that I enjoy!

fantastic street food - definitely recommend! :)

Pros: really friendly helpful staff, small waiting times, despite busyness, ample seating available

Cons: boxpark complex can be crowded and loud, small waiting area

The vegan doner is one of the best things I've ever eaten, I can't be in the area without going to What the Pitta!

Nice concept, great pita

The Shoreditch Boxpark is a really cool place to check out with friends. It can get really loud and crowded here, but there are many nice food stalls to check out. This pita for example is really satisfying. We had it twice during our stay in London. Would recommend!

Best vegan Kebabs

Freshly made pitta wrap adds a whole new freshness to the kebab. It has everything you would expect from a regular kebab but just tastes amazing. The filling is chewy and flavoursome. We’ve been back to this shop and their stands at vegan events multiple times.

Pros: fast and fresh, large portions

Cons: no meal deal with chips

Not as good as Vöner

But at least it tastes good, chips box is a very satisfying meal. Shame the owners are into "meat reduction" rather than abolition though.

Great kebab

I'm usually not a fan of meat-subs but this one works ! The pitta is handmade and great and the seitan is well seasoned ! I perfected the lamacun over the kebab but still worth trying the two !

Wow!

Amazing! Definitely worth the trip. My sister and brother-in-law are in town and ya can’t leave London without having a kebab, however since my hubby and I are vegan we thought this would be an issue. What The Pitta! to the rescue!!! Love it, my hubby got 2! 😆

As somebody who has grown up eating kebab on a weekly basis, this is a great meat free alternative. Would recommend for all!

Absolutely incredible kebabs

The doner kebab here is incredible, so much so, I had it twice in one day the first time I had it. Mainly because I was hungover, but it turned out to be perfect hangover food.

So tasty. The couscous and doner boxes are great too!

Am yet to try the pizza and baklava though, but judging by their other offerings I'm sure they're awesome.

Pros: Reasonably priced for the amount of food you get, Super tasty

Cons: Hard to order in their tiny space sometimes, Boxpark can be crazy busy and unpleasant
