Breakfast is delicious, especially the shakshuka. Lunch salads are a treat, and they try to accommodate food allergies and intolerances given the middle eastern propensity for nuts in recipes.

it's worth waiting for their near-perfect pastries, quiches, and salads. If you don't have time to cook before a dinner party, it's an excellent pick for a meal that you can pick up and bring home.

Spend over 10 minutes salivating, being unable to make up my mind. Everything looks so good! Had the seared tuna, basmati rice and those mouthwatering aubergines. Everything was to die for.

Great atmosphere, super amazing service & the food is so high quality. It is like tapas so best to try few dishes and enjoy the great tastes. Vanilla fiancier was like a home made cake and the best.

We had savory takeaway (you can pick from a selection of 6 dishes and it’s priced on weight). It was really good and flavors combined well. It’s expensive though. The cakes were also excellent.

Relatively new Ottolenghi ❤️ more spacious compared to the restaurant in Angel. Food is delicious (I had pancake with plums, yogurt and berries) - delicious 💙 service is also very good 😊

I went for a coffee and a piece of cake. Definitely I want to get back there for. The flowerless almond orange chocolat cake is flavourful and have a really amazing texture!

Great, if slightly pricey, breakfast, amazing desserts and beautiful salads. Not so great: food lift keeps beeping, service not perfect & decoration a bit incomplete.
Deema Al-SalmanJuly 28, 2016
Everything was amazing 👌🏼 shakshuka is highly recommended and the scrambled eggs with salmon 👌🏼 beside they have a wide selection of dessert and most of them are great..

Everything is delicious! Fab take out service, 5mins walk from a park & Spitalfields City Farm, perfect picnic option.
Cole KennedyApril 27, 2018
It’s all as good as they say. The salmon pairs near-magically with the endive in the green bean salad. But I’m sure everything tastes magic, so go wild.
David RMarch 6, 2017
Excellent and fresh food from a renowned chef. Pricey for the amount of food, but it's all about quality. Recommend the seared tuna + the radicchio salad.
BommyNovember 17, 2019
Posh ambiance. You’ll need to ask for a table even if you just want to eat pastries from the front display. But you can get pastries to-go as well.
Johannes DriessenMay 4, 2015
Incredible food for take away. Fresh, tasty, novel cold food. Try... everything! The aubergine is great, tuna is great and there's a huge selection of cakes. Again, try them all!
Mahdi HosseiniSeptember 12, 2017
It's pastries are one of the best in London. It's so yummy. Don't miss it!
TeeAugust 31, 2015
Dinner here was great! You could choose between dishes from the counter or from the kitchen. All the dishes we had were exciting and came with unusual ingredients and flavours (in a good way).
Irina VFebruary 3, 2016
The food for the restaurant and take away is served from the same station, so get busy during lunch time. Not the best coffee I've ever had and it is a bit pricey but the food was yum, so good overall
Yv OnneOctober 5, 2016
Chocolate caramel cake w. almond brittle! Besides, the eggs w. leeks & spinach or shakshuka for breakfast. The polenta & sweet corn cakes were nice, however the combination was not equally brilliant.
Vlad NotovichAugust 11
Best authentic mideterian food, must have Micheline star, best breakfast experience at affordable price, service 5*. Truly recommended.
Jon WheelerNovember 6, 2016
The Pumpkin dish just rocked. The wine (SP68) we had was amazing too. However, while the server was nice, I wished they were much more attentive to us.
AJanuary 31, 2017
Incredible! Everything is so fresh with vibrant colors and explosive flavors. The menu is always changing which makes every visit a new and unique experience.
Clara EloyAugust 15, 2022
Super delicious and flavourful food, loved the butter beans and aubergine
Nat MDecember 1, 2017
Try everything you can/want. For those who don't like a sugar-overloaded dessert: flourless chocolate rum cake (non-drinkers: flourless chocolate bundt cake's yummy too)!
WishlistEtcNovember 13, 2016
Can't fault this place. Everything I've ever tried is packed with tons of flavour, from green beans to the salmon steaks.
MaríaOctober 3, 2015
This beauty is flourless, made with almonds, orange and chocolate. And it tastes heavenly.

Ah, Ottolenghi. I always find my way into one of Yotam’s restaurants whilst in London. Try the tofu scramble for breakfast. Sounds odd, but it’s delish.
Rick CanesApril 29, 2015
Broccoli and Courgettes with truffle oil and hazel nuts were absolutely delicious with spectacular balance. Lamb and venison dishes were a real treat too.
Adrian AlbonJanuary 29, 2023
Inventive and vibrant food, eclectic wine list and service that goes above and beyond. One of the highlights of our trip
Layla LentenMarch 20, 2016
Great service and good (also looking) food. You definitely got to try the desserts!
Angela LiuMay 20, 2019
Lovely cakes and pastries from ottolenghi and amazing salads too
CoffeeHunterMarch 29, 2016
Salads are very fresh and vibrant. But I have this feeling that it is more interesting then nice. It's also a bit overpriced.
Alex LeSeptember 30, 2019
Lovely atmosphere and amazing food! Great for date nights or bigger groups, but make sure to make a reservation!
Amit GuptaOctober 8, 2018
I want to eat here every single day. Salads and pastries, non-stop.
sara alswailemFebruary 6, 2020
Don’t miss this place 😋 very delicious food and great service..
Lee HartAugust 21, 2018
healthy salads to counter balance the not so healthy cakes you will eat as well. the choice of salads are brilliant, packed with flavor.
Heena KaraniMay 24, 2015
I was so happy when this opened up as love the vegetarian selections. Unfortunately their vegetarian takeaway lunch opinions are over £10 so counts me out except for special occasions only. Shame
Little ScrapesJanuary 18, 2018
Small chance of a walk in for dinner if you arrive and ask nicely well before 7pm and can eat within an hour. Otherwise definitely book or you've no chance.
Restless World CitizenDecember 15, 2019
Good service, good ambiance, broad variety of choices including bakery part
Anna SzypkowskaMay 8, 2019
Amazing aubergine and green beans salad. Short beef rib and manti were also to die for 😍
Lee HartJuly 16, 2018

All so good. The Shakshuka on breakfast menu especially good

Great beef kofta and the salads are very tasty.

Been here 5+ times
Save room for dessert! There is ample bar space for walk-ins

Superb selection of Ottolenghi salads, sweets and dishes. Top place to get food for a picnic.
Maayan SheinfeldAugust 25, 2017
