About Purely Falafel
Purely Falafel is a vegan falafel restaurant on Byng Pl in London, run as a walk-in stand for quick service. The falafel recipe mixes in fried aubergine, and customers can ask to have it left out. Wraps and falafel boxes, including a medium size, come with salad, pickles, hummus, halloumi, and roasted aubergines, finished with tahini, garlic sauce, or an optional chilli sauce at medium heat. The stand sits on a university campus near a church, with a bench nearby for eating outside. Paying in cash brings a small discount. The kitchen also supplies falafel dough and ready cooked falafel balls to other businesses such as restaurants, cafes, and market traders, available on request.

Customer Review Summary
The falafel wrap with halloumi draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it fresh, crunchy, and the best they've had, some comparing it favorably to what they grew up eating in Lebanon and Syria. Close behind, the medium falafel box comes up often for its generous portions, creamy hummus, and varied pickles, and several single out the tahini and garlic sauces alongside roasted aubergines in the mix. Reviewers consistently describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, noting quick service and warm conversation while waiting, and a few mention a small cash discount and prices that suit a student lunch budget. On the downside, one reviewer notes their falafel box arrived without the advertised potatoes, and another points out the falafel contains fried aubergine unless asked to leave it out, unlike the more typical recipe they expected. The setting near a church, with a bench outside for sunny days, also gets a mention as a nice spot to eat.

“Amazing place, Hussain service 10/10, quality chef thanks Hussain will be back soon!! Crafted by the hands of a Lebanese chef with years of passion and tradition, every falafel tells a story — a crispy, golden tale of flavor passed down through generations. This isn’t fast food. This is heritage. Spiced to perfection, fried with care, and paired with a homemade sauce — whether it’s velvety tahini or a fiery garlic blend — the taste is bold, honest, and unforgettable. One bite, and you’re not just eating. You’re tasting Lebanon — rich, warm, and full of soul. That’s the power of experience. That’s the flavor of authenticity.””
