Nestled in the vibrant heart of Brick Lane in London, What The Pitta offers a tantalizing journey into the world of vegan and Middle Eastern-inspired street food. This bustling food stand has become a beloved spot for both locals and travelers seeking a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal that celebrates bold flavors and fresh ingredients. Its reputation for serving some of the best vegan wraps in the city makes it a must-visit for food enthusiasts eager to explore innovative plant-based cuisine.

What The Pitta is renowned for its vegan wraps that are both hearty and bursting with flavor. The signature vegan doner wrap features tender seitan slices, seasoned to perfection, wrapped in soft, pillowy pita bread that perfectly envelopes a medley of fresh vegetables and zesty sauces. The falafel wrap is equally impressive, with crispy, golden falafel balls paired with a vibrant array of salads and a drizzle of spicy hot sauce that elevates every bite.

A behind-the-scenes look reveals that What The Pitta's secret lies in their fresh, homemade pita bread, which is soft yet sturdy enough to hold generous fillings without falling apart. The chefs take pride in their meticulous preparation, ensuring each wrap is crafted with care and attention to detail. Their vegan baklava, a sweet, flaky pastry soaked in honey and packed with nuts, offers a delightful contrast to the savory wraps and is a favorite among regulars.

What makes What The Pitta stand out? Its commitment to vegan ingredients, innovative wraps, and friendly service create a memorable dining experience. Why visit? To enjoy a quick, delicious, and ethically conscious meal that captures the essence of street food culture. What's nearby? Brick Lane itself is a hub of cultural diversity, with vintage shops, art galleries, and lively markets just steps away.

Whether you're a vegan explorer, a street food enthusiast, or simply in search of a quick, satisfying meal, What The Pitta offers an authentic taste of London’s diverse culinary scene. Drop by to indulge in their signature wraps, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and experience a true slice of local flavor.

Great falafel - not much more to say!  Made to order with a variety of veg and sauces to choose from.  Great way to start a day exploring Brick Lane.

I meant to stop in here for a quick bite to sample the food on our way to Mooshies. It ended up being one of the tastiest treats during our entire trip to London. 

A permanent fixture located in the hip Boxpark Shoreditch area. It's kind of like the container park in Las Vegas, except with great weather and 99% less douchy. They're open 7 days a week for your doner fix, or as an invitation to introduce you to the delicious Vegan version of a classic Turkish food. 

Think of a falafel wrap, but with Seitan instead of chickpea balls. It was so good that my babygirl who normally is quite indifferent towards middle eastern food, gobbled up more than her fair share of the wrap. I was quite proud of that girl! Don't forget to ask for a side of hot sauce. 

Very friendly service and the wrap came out at lighting speed despite being fairly busy. They DO NOT skimp on the filling here. That bad boy was quite girthy! It was also fairly reasonably priced @ £7.95 or so.

In addition to the doner, they serve some sort of pizza and some salads. Although honestly, what more do you need than a Vegan doner wrap and a cold beer? (Brewdogs is just down the street)

Just - wow. I think the magic is in the texture of the pita. It's not dry or rough, it's soft and pillowy and perfectly envelopes the delicious "meat". Everything together - pita, salad, sauces, "meat", peppers - is pure magic. The falafel and hummus is delicious too. Can't wait to come back!

Amazing food and such a good portion for the price. Got the chip box and was amazing. You can add whatever sauces and everything that you want. Fast service with a smile. Everything tasted fresh and good quality ingredients.

I am obsessed with this place. It is so good. Vegan and to die for!

Small menu but everything we had was fantastic... took a non-vegetarian and he loved it as much as I did. Don't miss an opportunity to eat here!

I was really looking forward to getting some good vegan doner like you find in Germany but this isn't it. It's just a burrito. They don't have one of those spinning cones of seitan that you shave nice ribbons of "meat" off of, it's just chunks of fake meat (maybe soy based and not seitan? Couldn't tell) that they grill. It tastes like the Tofurkey soy chunks that you can get at the store. It's not stuffed into an open pita bread either, they just grill a flatbread and then roll it up just like a burrito (closed on both ends) and wrap it in foil. The salads they add are ok nothing special. I was pretty disappointed. It's good to have more vegan options but it feels mislabelled. Maybe it's ok if you just want a burrito but if you're really after doner you'll have to keep looking.

Stop what you're doing and forget everything you think you know about home made wraps. 
First of all, the falafel is delicious and perfectly accompanied by the selection of vegetables and sauce options. 
Secondly, the vegan doner wrap surpassed all expectations - which, to be fair, were low, but that's on me. 
Thirdly, the baklava is excellent, if only slightly on the sweet side, but hey, I ordered baklava, and if it weren't sweet, well, it would be weird.

Finally, we come to the fresh bread/wrap/pitta situation. Sometimes emotional manifestations of physical experiences cannot adequately be transcribed into words - humbling, indeed, given our ubiquitous assumption that language is adequate communication. I feel I do the wrap an injustice by attempting to describe it; yet the true injustice would be failure to spread the delicious, delicious word. 
It's good. It's really really really good. Get it. It's fiscally fair and will improve your relation to reality. You're eating it, it's real, you're real, everything's okay.

Please open one in Paris!
Still wondering what made it so good. 
Came in at 8/9 on a friday night, fully packed, but didnt wait long. They were quick & helped to create the perfect pitta depending on my taste

I have daydreams about their wrap. What The Pitta has one of the most convincing mock meats I have tasted. The price is also appropriate for the portion sizes and the baklava dessert will send you over the moon!
