The Pilpel falafel recipe was created by my grandfather more than 60 years ago. As a kid I used to work in his restaurant where he taught me everything I know about making falafel, including his secret recipe. He showed me how to make them perfectly crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside… little pieces of heaven.
At 84 years old he still tirelessly loved to make his falafels, even when his family told him to relax and enjoy life. At the age of 29 years I had a vision: maybe the only thing that would give Gramps peace of mind was for me to keep the falafel rolling... So with a dose of inspiration, a heap of hard work and a sprinkle of sesame seed, Pilpel, 38 Brushfield Street, was born on 5th May 2009.
We’re proud to prepare amazing, healthy food every day. Bite into a crispy Pilpel falafel and discover its fluffy centre, bursting with flavour and goodness… Gramps’ recipe never fails! Nearly every other falafel maker adds flour to their recipes, but not us. Every luscious mouthful is 100% chickpeas, fresh vegetables and spices, cooked to perfection and served with the best salads and pitas you can buy.
