Pita filled with falafel, cauliflower, lamb kebab, cottage pie
"The Israeli pita chain’s Soho outpost is a very good spot for an in-and-out lunch or dinner that doesn’t break the bank. There are all manner of zany combinations on the menu (spag bol a la pita, for example) but it’s the classic falafel or, even better, the roasted cauliflower that we devour most. Charred, blackened, but with that sweet and nutty flavour of caramelisation. Stick it in a saucy pita with tomato and pickles, and you’ve got a dream combination." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Few things ensure conversational privacy like the pumping beats of the Hebrew pop charts. That, combined with Miznon’s nonchalant service, makes the Israeli hot spot in Soho an ideal place for an intimate conversation. That said, someone could always read your lips. But we think there’s little chance of that happening when you’ve got an enormous cottage pie pita in your mouth and an entire roasted cauliflower on your table to block any prying eyes." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing
"Miznon’s menu reads like the top shelf of a newsagent. Customers are ‘creatures’, a cottage pie is like ‘heaven’, and tomatoes are notably ‘naked’. But off paper the much-heralded Israeli pitta restaurant in Soho is dynamic in different ways. There are bigger tables and banquettes, as well as the counter—and those seats are best used to enjoy the smuttier parts of the menu. Sac de coq, tomato ovaries, and the like. It’s open all day and night on Mondays." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"A ‘Fill Your Pita With Pride’ party on Broadwick Street? It’d be rude not to. Alongside pitas stuffed with things like caramelised cauliflower and laden with tahini and pickles, you can also get involved in the Proudest Grapefruit cocktail, with £5 of each order going to trans awareness charity, Not A Phase. If you’re partial to selfies involving falafel, tag Israeli spot Miznon on Instagram for 20% off your order." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Never ones to go down the much-trodden path, Miznon has ignored the dry advances of turkey in favour of something altogether more canapé-inspired, especially as it comes with a glass of Möet. The festive dish from the Israeli pita specialist is like a big, pocked-shaped blini. It’s stuffed with sour cream, fried potatoes, spring onion, and a dollop of salmon roe on top." - Jake Oliver
