perfection. 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!

What 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 Hill

Everything 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!

If you want to have an Artistic meal, go there! Tasty foods with breathtaking pastries. It's expensive, but you'll enjoy it.

I 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!

Follow 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

When 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!

They have one shared table in a small bright area. Breakfast service ends at 12. They also sell authentic middle eastern spices.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Amazing food that changes every season, very innovative and unique. You just need to book way in advance!

Decent coffee but delicious desserts and pastries. Had the banana tea cake with Dulce de leche and it was fantastic.
AManda HUangJune 11, 2017
Very good coffee and desserts served here. Great for a quick stop for a cuppa and take out to go.
Alla AltuninaMarch 23, 2015
A 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

The 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!

Not 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!
Essie SAugust 24, 2014
Desserts are great! Salad options are also really nice and although expensive the portion size is huge.
AManda HUangJune 11, 2017
hot mocha is lovely. Good cake and tart selection. Everything is generally tasty here so you won't regret it.
Haesung KimSeptember 21, 2014
their salad selections are better than than the main dishes. If you like ottolegnhi also recommend nopi!
OdoFebruary 20, 2013

Safe to say that everything is delicious. So Try everything. If you Cant then come back and have another go. Supertasty organic food.

Been here 5+ times
Seared tuna with sesame is amazing. Insanely expensive but worth it for a treat sometimes. Always get the sauce to go with it.
Rebecca BrownJuly 14, 2019
Great selection of things here. Busy! Not cheap. Amazing chocolate cookie. Sooooo good
Levent AkgermanNovember 13, 2016
Delicious light and healthy homey meals; zucchini, beetroot and tabuleh are my favorites.
Kellie TedjoNovember 14, 2015
Plum meringue . Salads. Large generous portions good for sharing.
FranckJanuary 30, 2016
A great atmosphere around a communal table, and still the best Mediterranean cuisine in London.
Angelika ParDecember 1, 2019
Tiny place, take-away oriented, salad-y goodies and pastries are nice!
Le'Nise BJanuary 22, 2012
The flourless chocolate cake is amazing - super rich and really hits the spot! Avoid the raspberry meringues - they have a terrible soapy taste.
Anne MarieOctober 25, 2019
Beautifully presented dishes that taste even better than they look. Ottolenghi, once again, never fails to impress.
Baran von IsikNovember 2, 2014
Wonderful healthy food and fantastic but unhealthy deserts and tarts. Love it.
SarahAugust 1, 2019
Exactly what I wanted it to be — delicious veggies & a chocolate orange cake I’ll dream of.
Hendy OngkodjojoMarch 6, 2011
Amazing, simple, fresh, innovative; definitely worth the slight wait and don't forget to grab a dessert piece with your main package!
Sarietha EngelbrechtFebruary 27, 2013
Incredible food! And you have to have the flour-less chocolate cake. It's the best thing that I've ever eaten.
Maggie de la VegaFebruary 10, 2014
Best pastries and meringue! Perfect for a lazy Sunday: Take away and go home to a movie!
Alex NelsonAugust 13, 2018
Best almond croissants in the world!
Valeria BredaNovember 22, 2015
Salads are always good but the best are by far desserts...
Alma IrshaidMarch 18, 2014
Very tiny and small and bot comfortable, not to mention misleading people with the book jerusalem!!
Guy CockerApril 19, 2010
Great 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
Koka NajNovember 28, 2018
Food is fresh and authentic. No toilets!!??
ShaymaaMarch 5, 2017
Limited seating on the communal table. No restroom. No wifi or phone signal. Good food options.
Lenka KyselovaOctober 3, 2015
pure love, absolutely fabulous salads and cakes
Michael MichaelsMarch 23, 2014
Don't leave a tip, it's expensive enough.. Only kidding, expensive, yes, but very good.
