tigz de palmaFebruary 13, 2017perfection. in everything. from the salads to the sweets. it's mostly take-away. but if you are lucky enough to get a seat at the communal table down below, get it!
Scot ImrieJanuary 12, 2019What a fantastic place. Great just to visit the shop or take away. Lucky to get 3 of 10 seats at breakfast - breads & jams superb as were scrambled eggs and shakshuka - a must visit in Notting HillUpvoted Sep 30
BiancaFebruary 19, 2017Everything is so tasty, that you need to go there over and over again. Pity there is little seating space but get it all to go and have it Hyde Park. Scone was top choice. + flat white!- Mahdi HosseiniSeptember 7, 2017If you want to have an Artistic meal, go there! Tasty foods with breathtaking pastries. It's expensive, but you'll enjoy it.
Yv OnneOctober 3, 2016I was queuing for a table & only a while later realised that there are only 10 seats. Better go on a sunny day & eat somewhere outside... The salads are all amazing, so buy the books for home cooking!
M USeptember 3, 2018They have one shared table in a small bright area. Breakfast service ends at 12. They also sell authentic middle eastern spices.
Alvaro RodriguezDecember 23, 2014One of my favourite restaurants in London. Amazing food that changes every season, very innovative and unique. You just need to book way in advance!
Travel + LeisureMarch 19, 2013Follow Islington’s beau monde to this Middle Eastern bakery and café, where the tantalizing bread platter (toasted tableside) is a meal in itself. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
AManda HUangJune 11, 2017Very good coffee and desserts served here. Great for a quick stop for a cuppa and take out to go.
- Fariza MohamedshaApril 18, 2015Decent coffee but delicious desserts and pastries. Had the banana tea cake with Dulce de leche and it was fantastic.
- Valeria BredaApril 11, 2015When they say "happiness is around the corner..." --> this is literally the case for me with this amazing bakery! Butternut squash salad is worth trying, but the best are desserts!
Alla AltuninaMarch 23, 2015A chain of healthy restaurants, famous for its salat bar. Menu style is very close to Mediterranian. However desserts are made in a traditional way with eggs and wheat flour
Rebecca BrownJuly 14, 2019Great selection of things here. Busy! Not cheap. Amazing chocolate cookie. Sooooo good
Kim VuNovember 3, 2014The passionfruit meringue tarts are delicious with a great zesty kick to them. At £3.40, it's almost a steal compared to the patisserie up the road!
Essie SAugust 24, 2014Desserts are great! Salad options are also really nice and although expensive the portion size is huge.
Sarietha EngelbrechtFebruary 27, 2013Incredible food! And you have to have the flour-less chocolate cake. It's the best thing that I've ever eaten.
- AManda HUangJune 11, 2017hot mocha is lovely. Good cake and tart selection. Everything is generally tasty here so you won't regret it.
RobertaApril 26, 2014Safe to say that everything is delicious. So Try everything. If you Cant then come back and have another go. Supertasty organic food.
Haesung KimSeptember 21, 2014their salad selections are better than than the main dishes. If you like ottolegnhi also recommend nopi!
mahima lalwaniApril 6, 2014Not enough seating but definitely worth the wait!! Have the chocolate caramel tart with almond brittle and marscapone i'd wait another hour in that queue on one foot to have another!
Levent AkgermanNovember 13, 2016Delicious light and healthy homey meals; zucchini, beetroot and tabuleh are my favorites.
Seared tuna with sesame is amazing. Insanely expensive but worth it for a treat sometimes. Always get the sauce to go with it.- Maggie de la VegaFebruary 10, 2014Best pastries and meringue! Perfect for a lazy Sunday: Take away and go home to a movie!
- FranckJanuary 30, 2016A great atmosphere around a communal table, and still the best Mediterranean cuisine in London.
Anne MarieOctober 25, 2019Beautifully presented dishes that taste even better than they look. Ottolenghi, once again, never fails to impress.
Baran von IsikNovember 2, 2014Wonderful healthy food and fantastic but unhealthy deserts and tarts. Love it.
SarahAugust 1, 2019Exactly what I wanted it to be — delicious veggies & a chocolate orange cake I’ll dream of.
Le'Nise BJanuary 22, 2012The flourless chocolate cake is amazing - super rich and really hits the spot! Avoid the raspberry meringues - they have a terrible soapy taste.
Hendy OngkodjojoMarch 6, 2011Amazing, simple, fresh, innovative; definitely worth the slight wait and don't forget to grab a dessert piece with your main package!
Guy CockerApril 19, 2010Great healthy food, followed by great unhealthy cakes. The only bad thing is that the restaurant part only seats 10 people at the back, and you can't book. Read more
Alma IrshaidMarch 18, 2014Very tiny and small and bot comfortable, not to mention misleading people with the book jerusalem!!
Gisela JönssonNovember 8, 2014The vegetable mixes are amazing. The cakes, while good enough, did not impress me.
Jose Andres MartinezNovember 3, 2012Not too comfortable to eat in but nice coffee and superb sweets!
