Most dishes very delicious - the best ones are amongst the best dishes I've had in London in years, esp. aubergine tea ! Slightly overpriced, service not that professional tho nice. Will be back.
Beautiful fresh Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern food from talented chef Eran Tibi in a stunningly-beautiful railway arch. Definitely try the delicious 'Aubergine tea with milk ' if you can - super tasty!
V yummy, just order lots to share! The white chocolate cheesecake for dessert is a must have.
GQ recommends: The steak and eggs : sticky date beef , fried eggs , pickled chili salsa and harissa hollandaise (£16). A mushier, saltier, stickier, more comforting delight you shall not find.
Service is friendly but could be more professional. Food is excellent though: cauliflower ‘crumble’ and burned babka with sesame , pistachio and plums are the stand outs
Hidden gem to be discovered along the arches of Union Street, also with tables outside for the good season
The delicious cauliflower pita tastes straight out of Tel Aviv - would eat that for lunch every day if I could afford it. Dishes are a bit overpriced for the portion size.
Defiantly go for the hummus and oxtail - it was so good we got it twice. Make sure you ask for extra (free) pittas with it too. Wouldn't recommend the salmon - bland and slightly overlooked.
Brilliant Middle Eastern small plate eatery . The decor is a tad too bright , but the food compensates for all. If you are after new food trends, you've found your place.
Delicious new Israeli restaurant . Get the cauliflower , aubergine , lamb and dumplings , chicken , and all the desserts .
Cauliflower , trio salad , crispy sticky chicken , braised beef shoulder
The food is incredible. Brunch is excellent - so different from everywhere else and genuinely delicious.
The maple and harissa salmon was stellar. Staff was super friendly too!
An explosion of tastes. Friendly staff ! When you don't want the traditional food .
The £35 tasting menu was good value . Also, free additional bread !
Cauliflower is amazing!
The charred cauliflower is a taste sensation. Excellent service .
Shakshuka + Babka = Perfect Sunday brunch .
The cheesecake is mind-blowing. A must!
Burnt babka - best desert ! ????
Great brunch menu and delicious cocktails .
Much better Israeli / Middle Eastern food in London, and this place is really expensive for the portions you get, plus slow service. Surprised it is still open!
The lamb laffa and smoked Parmesan cauliflower
Incredible flavours in all the dishes.
Delicious middle eastern brunch ❤️
Amazing vegetarian choices !
Aubergine is amazing!
Shakshuka ! Service can be improved
Big portion , nice place, friendly waiters .
Good venue
A stunning birthday meal with Tashy!
Really delicious Middle Eastern food but service could be better
Food is alright. Service is slow. Pictured - aubergine shakshuka
Some tasty interesting dishes, some over priced baked potato with cheese on it.. wouldn’t return. Overpriced small portions
Meat lover's heaven. Steak with Gorgonzola and walnuts was amazing. Very friendly service too. One of the best Italian restaurants in London, I think. - Christiane Link
Amazing breakfast! Wonderful old-fashioned and cozy caff. No rushing. Outdoor courtyard in the sun. Lovely staff. ❤️ - Pippa Malmgren
The flight instructors are clear & helpful. There are classes for beginners too to try. The class is usually split into 2 groups, beginners & advanced. The studio is new with changing rooms. - Gelly B
I really don’t get the hype this restaurant brings about. Excessively sweet sharing plates that all taste alike and no finesse at all. Avoid at all costs if you don’t want to enjoy wc. - Levent Akgerman
Loved the ratatouille tahini.. so creamy, the cauliflower and smashed potato! Highly recommended ???? - RRR
I tried it for Brunch food, and it was truly super delicious and worth trying, especially the buratta bread. - Hadeel K
Spare good amount of time if you are a fan of contemporary art because this place has a massive and great collection! Dont miss the temporary exhibitions, though visiting all will take more than a day - Pinar E.
My cocktail was simply amazing, perfectly balanced and well presented. Take the Whiskey Sour. - Cyndie Da Rocha
Great choices: dosa, curry, koshari street, amarettis from bread ahead. almond cookies from cinnamon tree. - Ingrina Carson
