Probably it's one of the best falafel shops around. Freshly prepared and tasty! Good selection of salads and competitive prices It's almost a must when I pass by, yet during my last visit in Gloucester Road, I was I little disappointed. I bought 2 X 10 Pcs boxes of falafels with hummus, some pittas bread and drinks. When I got to destination, the 2 "plastic boxes" where completely melted because of the heat from the hot falafels and we couldn't split the two containers. It's not really inviting when you are going to meet with people and the food you brought looks like that. Surely Iam not the first one to which it is happened this, if not probably it would be a good idea to start to look to packaging alternatives. Hopefully it won't happen again! After this review and feedback, I am craving for some of your hot falafels (without the box this time).

Fantastic branch and the regular managers are lovely and always uphold a really positive atmosphere when you go in there even though they're obviously so busy all the time. Really good to have a community feel in there despite being kind of a chain and for me it stands out against the other branches, though as I work right nearby I use this one by far the most. It's all entirely vegan which is fantastic and the portions are very generous and the quality is always exceptional. One of the rare examples of a place which seems to have just nailed it and shouldn't change a thing.

This place was recommended to me. Wish I never went there today, the guy working the tills was totally rude as if he didn’t want to be there or he didn’t want me looking at the food or both. Half my box was filled with grated carrots the dressing was non existent and falafels were hella dry. I definitely wouldn’t recommend the walk-in service. If you do go keep your distance and don’t tell them what you want to eat and sit down like a naughty child until you are called.

Falafel and loads of different salads. There are various options, a wide range of salad items, hummous, flatbreads etc. Guys working there friendly and helpful and I found it was very good value for money. There’s a seating area upstairs. Apparently the boxes that look like plastic are actually biodegradable. I went for a box costing £6, I think it would have fed two. I took half away with me anyway as I was full. You could always add other items, such as three falafel with hummous for £1.50.

  • Elliot Tasker

"Eat a Pitta" has long been a Bristol favourite. However, recent changes have seen a noticeable dip in its value for money. Most strikingly, the quantity of hummus provided has diminished considerably. Where once they generously filled the container, now you receives only a modest dollop. It feels as though the dedication once poured into their food has waned. It seems their previous commitment to quality has taken a backseat.

The food is still good but unfortunately portion sizes have drastically been reduced and prices have been hugely inflated. I understand the price hikes but the smaller boxes and sizes when it's just effectively salad? A small box isn't big enough anymore you need a medium so that costs even more. Plus the pickles have been cut no turnips or pickled onion. It's a shame as I like it but it doesn't reflect good value anymore.

Went to this beautiful establishment and was greeted with a massive smile from a worker called Oran. He filled my pitta to the brim and it was delicious.

Really tasty and very affordable! I've ordered/taken food out from there about 5 times, and 4 of those times were fantastic and we had delicious, fresh, moreish food. The pickles are nice and tangy, and the falafels are all crispy and freshly fried. One time my wrap tasted a bit odd, and an hour later I felt really sick, but no one else who ate food from that order got sick, so maybe it was just my one that was a fluke?

  • Mina Stephanos

Falfel was amazing. I had a regular falafel in pita with a bit of everything. You need a fork for it which is provided. I didn't like the every thing bit as it took the nice taste of falafel into a sea of irrelevant tastes. Next time i will have it with hummus pickles and tahini sauce. Seating area was ok, up stairs with a bathroom

Regarding an order today 1st of August 2023 at 8:30PM. I have placed an order for two extra pittas along with a sharing platter for which I have been charged 15.60. I have been given my parcel and been updated that the pitta is the pack. But after reaching home there was no extra pitta. You have gained nothing by spoiling someone's dinner.

Extremely filling and the quality of food was beyond my expectations, however you added too much salad, and it was very cold. In the near future you need to add less salad and keep the food in a warm oven, not outside by the till where the door is fully open!! I’m paying you for the service, so I expect it to be a high standard.

  • Maria Hermosillo

Not a good experience for me I’m afraid. Bought a large box which barely had food! It was packed by a trainee who should have been more closely supervised. Pretty gutted, not coming back in a while.

Consistently excellent quality, food and service. Cannot fault any of the items on offer from the Falafels to the mix of salads always work well together and the Hummus, Babaganoush and sauces up the ante. Portions are generous and good value for the money. Well done guys, please keep up the good work.

  • Joy Johnson

There was a queue outside this place and I could see, and later taste why. Absolutely delicious! A huge amount of ingredient choices to suit all customers needs. All served with a warm smile from staff that naturally engaged well with each person. Highly recommend Eat a Pitta …

  • Squall10001

Beautiful food. It was pretty busy but the staff were diligent and efficient. Absolutely stacked pitta and every bite was delicious. I only went in there thanks to a Google search for food around me but will 100% visit again.

Amazing falafel!!crispy and super tasty. The different salads available are also very yummy! The staff always fill up the boxes so you feel that you are paying for a great portion. Although I feel £1.70 for a halloumi portion is a bit too much (3 pieces).

  • a.

healthy, affordable and delicious food; possibly the best lunch to be found in bristol. for less than £5 a small falafel box is filling enough to last for quite a long time, and the staff are always friendly & helpful :) highly recommend.

  • Oliver Happy

Mouth-watering. An absolute revelation. We eat a lot of falafel but it is rare that rating it becomes an emotional experience. Absolutely brilliant. Lovely staff, a wide selection and that flavours. Oh my god. You have to try it.

  • Hollie Garrett

This is the best falafel ever and I love it. BUT I can never open the plastic containers and it’s really annoying! Particularly when it’s so delicious that I wanna get into it quickly to eat it. Pleaaaaase get better packaging!

  • Mwidimi Ndosi

Used to love it here, but recently they’ve upped the price and substantially shrunk the size of the falafel shame, it is delicious, but I’m not sure it still represents good value for money …

  • Javier

I have to say that I'm not a falafel fan myself . However I particularly enjoyed this one. Crunchy and tasty. Their pitta full of veggies and falafel is a great choice for a healthy lunch.

  • Sofia

The shop is soooooo dirty. No hygiene everywhere. Foods on the floor...the table upstairs are disgusting and the place that prepare the food totally mess...I am not coming back...

Yummy falafel with a great range of salads and sauce. Ask for gluten free and they make a box up separately.
