    Of all the restaurants with hype in London-- this one lives up to it. Ottolenghi & staff are nothing short of genius, but in a simple, refreshing way. A must-visit for fans of big, elegant flavours.

    Fan of Yotam Ottolenghi's cooking and recipes (especially vegetables and legumes) for a long time. Nopi did not disappoint. Give it a try for something different, middle easternly. Worth it!

    Great place indeed. Downstairs is two big tables so if you are a couple ask for the corner. Food is amazing (recommend baby chicken, pork belly and burrata), wines could be better. Very honest prices

    Another amazing experience that's best shared with a fun group of 4 or more. The acoustics are challenging but with food this good, you will have plenty to talk about after!

    One of the best services I experienced in London. The Shakshuka is excellent and enough to fill your stomach for the rest of the day.

    What's good here? Practically everything, from the nibbles, cocktails, the wines, and the "food" itself.

    I love ottolenghi’s cuisine and it was up to my expectations. Delicious cocktails and wine. Awesome food. Portions are small however and it’s a little expensive but definitely worth it

    Everything was good, but especially the butternut squash w/ tahini, zucchini fritters, savory cheesecake, and octopus. Sit at the communal tables downstairs and check out the bathrooms.

    Food has outstanding flavours. I strongly recommend the octopus and sea bass dishes. Service was excellent and the venue (upstairs) is bright and cosy.

    Delicious food served in small plates ❤️ burrata, beetroot salad, roasted pumpkins and the great fritters ended with the sea bass as a main course

    Burrata (w/ peach and coriander) is a must -- the best I've ever had. A handful of starters and dishes to share is the way to go. Scallops were perfectly cooked & rainbow trout was a generous portion.

    Beautiful atmosphere and the food is amazing. I suggest getting a good mix of dishes to try and quaff it down with some lovely white wine. The communal table is a little cramped so try for upstairs

    A Mediterranean/ Turkish twist. The bakery was super fresh but I didn’t enjoy it similar to opso. Don’t miss the bathrooms 🚽 loved the mirrors

    The Aubergine is transcendent. One of the best meals of my life--don't be shy with the sharing dishes, order as many as you can stomach!

    Rightly rated highly. Burata, chilli okra, tuna are great dishes. Service, room & toilets impeccable. Coriander & ginger martini a must. Deserts are a relative let down. Book & enjoy

    Burrata w/ coriander seeds divine. prawns w/ Pernod and fennel exquisite. And Brussels spouts *out of this world*. It doesn't come too cheaply though, prep to pay £10 per small plate + wine £35++

    Avoid the meat, get all the sharing dishes you can and enjoy! Also the 3 wines I tasted were not excellent choices but dishes and great staff made up for it. Recommended!

    We had the burrata, aubergine, trouchuda (cabbage), pork belly and rainbow trout. The trouchuda and the trout blew us away but everything else was just ok which is a shame. Service was excellent.

    Great entourage and service. The food is simple and there are lots of vegetarian options. We shared dishes and had the best volcanic red wine.

    All the dishes are designed for sharing so have them in the table. Pig belly is the best of all, though 5 spiced tofu, grapefruit burratta and pumpkin tart have very interesting flavour as well!

    GQ recommends: Tunisian Shakshuka (braised eggs, piquant tomato sauce, smoked labneh), with a side of breads for dipping and mopping up.
