Pockets

Hackney, London

Local Gem

Middle Eastern | Street food

Operating from East London's Netil Market (Thursday to Sunday), you should expect to queue for the reward of these legendary pittas. Founder Itamar Grinberg grew up eating similar in Tel Aviv and brings Londoners the joy of fluffy pockets stuffed full to bursting with freshly fried falafel, cabbage slaw, sumac onions, tomato, parsley, cucumber and fried potato. Sauces include houmous, tahini, red zhug, a herby green version or amba (pickled mango) – all made in-house.
