Pure

Great place for healthy food options. They have pre-​made salads and sandwiches. But what I find most interesting is their made right there for you salads. You can choose from the salads selections they can make for you (they’ll do it right in front of you) or you can have them make a unique salad to your liking from the wide variety of ingredients they offer.
No matter which option you choose it healthy eating, that tastes great and is quite filling (they give generous portions) for a good price. I’m definitely trying this place again.

Mmmmm this place is so good. I love how fresh and fast the food is, and it’s really filling for the price you pay. My favorite is definitely the sweet potato falafel wrap. It has marinated beets, some type of slaw, hummus, «grandma’s sauce,» cucumber and of course sweet potato falafels. It’s all wrapped up in a healthy bran wrap.
It’s really flavorful and both savory and sweet. I love the contrasting textures as well, with the slaw and beets and the softer falafels. You can feel great about eating this since it’s full of healthy ingredients! It’s only 3.79 for take out, so it’s definitely a great deal.
I’m definitely coming back to Pure to try their smoked salmon salad. Yum!

In need of a big salad to get your veggies in? Pure has what you need.
Either chose from the pre-​packaged ones if you are in a rush, make your own or chose one from their menu (low GI is one of my favorite). They are also willing to make substitues from their menu salads which is nice. Something I ask for more chicken and no avocado instead.
Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. They also have breakfast, juices, smoothies, hot pots and soups (lentil coconut one is excellent!).
A star off for the wait, especially in the summer! and the sitting space is limited. Better for take out!
In a nutshell: go for a healthy non boring lunch. You could almost feel in the US!

I’m currently on a bit of a health detox and this is exactly the place I go when I don’t want to be tempted by muffins and mayo-​filled sandwiches at lunchtime. The place was packed but the queue went down quickly and you can choose what you want as you’re waiting in line. You can either grab a salad and a dressing from the fridge as you come in (I had a really yummy Low GI one with a pomegranate and white bean dressing) and if you fancy a tub of carrots and hummus and fruit salad. There are huge varieties of salad and sides but you can also order hot food, such as tagine or curry. They do fresh smoothies and a hugely popular make-​your-​own salad bar with lots of healthy treats to put inside. The only downside is that it’s pretty expensive lunch for me was just under a tenner. It’s not somewhere to go everyday for lunch but excellent as a hangover treat or if you’re feeling a bit under the weather or need a boost. I’ll definitely be going back.

It sounded like a great idea but in reality everything looked a bit… blah!
I popped in to grab a quick lunch with a friend but after perusing everything on offer and having a look at the board, I really couldn’t find anything inspiring. Ready prepared salads and noodle boxes looked a bit limp and bland and the staff seemed moody and impatient — I literally walked up to the board (of the customer-​less counter) and the frowning server pretty much demanded immediately to know what I wanted in quite an unfriendly manner — give me a chance, love!
Irritated and uninspired I grabbed an apple juice and left (not literally, I paid for it first). The apple juice was nice but for £1-​something for a peasly-​little bottle it probably wasn’t worth it.
Meh!

Pure is ‘Californian’ for models serving food quickly.
First, you need to know there are three areas. First is the premade stuff on the right as you walk in. Second, there is a salad bar (which you queue up for) on the left. Then all the way at the back is the cash registers where you order hot food, smoothies and pay.
The salads are very good and you pay by the ingredient. The hotboxs are what I normally go for and you can see the specials online before you go.
Much like anything in life it looks complicated from the outside but go once and you’ll get it. Great food at a decent price and it’s ‘healthy.’

I’m the kind of person that gets a little scared of these salad places that have a busy lunch turnover and force you to choose 75 different options of salad ingredients in 15 seconds… so I avoided the salad completely.
The Vegetable Red Thai Curry on brown rice and it was beautifully tasty and filling. It felt wonderfully healthy and filled me up. It seems like the kind of place you would need frequent in order to give it a proper review… sampling everything.
If you want a healthy filling lunch and want a little something different without having to think too hard… look no further.
Service was okay… but it’s a run-​in-​run-​out kind of place in central London so it’s easy accept it.
