Excellent food and would recommend. Service slow to table slow and not well managed.
I adore Rovi and loved being back, thank you.
Rovi is always excellent!
They have a slightly curtailed menu during Covid which sadly did not include the amazing curried fish with roti but everything we ate was really excellent and the staff were really lovely.
We all loved it although it was expensive- it was delicious!
A wonderful evening, staff helpful and attentive, food exciting
Two friend out for a quick lunch - we both had the Jerusalem Mixed Grill with meat. Don't be put off by the inclusion of chicken hearts, the whole thing was utterly delicious. Added bonus: when Mr. Ottolengi showed up ;)
Excellent, the only thing I would say is that the tables are to close together. As a petite woman I struggled to get to my seat without disrupting other diners. Those of larger statue would require moving the entire tables, which weren’t the easiest to move. Amazing food, excellent customer service.
Great service and made special celebrations we had
Delicious freshly prepared food, varied and unusual tastes, textures, combinations. Lovely environment. The Miso fudge is a revelation!
I had a coughing fit (I have had a stroke) and the staff were wonderful. I think the butter beans set me off. The food was great and my friend, who is vegan, enjoyed
the dishes (especially the artichoke)
As a chef, I found that overall the dishes lacked balance of flavours. The flavours were too pungent and sharp, I felt that spices could have been infused into dishes more gently to create balance. Some small plates were not easy to share i.e the shawarma and the Gratin and salad would have benefitted from being plated on one dish rather then in two seperate bowls because they need to be eaten together as the acid in the salad was needed to counteract the cloyingness of the Tahini in the gratin.
The service was amazing though, as was the ambience.
My pancakes were completely burned. The shakshuka was ok. But it is a no go to serve burned food
I went during the week with my in-laws who admitted that if they had seen the menu before we booked, they would have likely not chosen to eat here. Thankfully the our waiter was really friendly and explained all the dishes. Once we got going with the food, everyone was more than pleasantly surprised. Every dish was really tasty so for a family who usually only has their 'meat and two' veg, this was fantastic experience. Thank you.
Some of the best vegetarian and vegan food I’ve ever tasted. My fiancée - whose birthday we were celebrating - loved it!
Great dinner. Food was excellent. Service was very friendly but a bit uneven. Highly recommend.
ROVI served up a good brunch with dysfunctional service. I would try again but perhaps for lunch or dinner next time.
Rovi never disappoints you with the quality of the food they serve, it was my 3rd time, and will definitely come back again :)
Very professional overall, excellent customer experience
Fermentatie en houtskool zijn de trefwoorden in dit restaurant. En de kookopvattingen van Ottolenghi. Dat klopt hier helemaal. Verrassend gevarieerd en gelukkig ook voldoende mogelijkheden met vis en vlees. Leuke wijn en goede biertjes. Goede sfeer. Wel wat aan de prijs maar vooruit, we hadden een fijne avond.
Excellent food and looked after fantastically!
Thanks for a lovely evening!
Rovi was wonderful. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly! I was with my mom who cannot eat peppers. That is always a hassle and often she has to send back the food because there is pepper somewhere unexpected. But at Rovi's, the menu was thoroughly checked and of every dish it was written down if she could eat it or not. Never had such good service before!
The friendly staff really made it special. A great leisurely lunch we found very relaxing. Food is exciting and adventurous. We loved it!
Really nice. We are going back again next month. When I booked online, it asked if it was an occasion, and I indicated birthday, (was mine) but then at the restaurant, there was no mention of this.
Delicious food, amazing service & great advice from the staff. Highly recommended. Thanks
Best experience ever with food that reinvents the word and sensitively and timely service.
A tremendous meal. Great service from everyone in the restaurant. Very accommodating
One one side was two property guys, one pitching to the other...loudly...and other side, 3 people on a two person table celebrating a birthday. Loudly. Couldn't hear ourselves at all.
Menu poorly explained...food came up with large gaps in-between even though it was small plates.
Food was decent, but rest of it was a bit of a disaster. Couldn't wait to pay and leave. Love Ottolenghi, but won't be going back to Rovi. £93 for two without any alcohol felt very poor value indeed.
Fab food and service! Lots of choice for veggies! Will definitely return!
We ordered all of the starters. Fabulous. Place full of totty.
Incredible food, swift service. Overall an excellent experience.
Great small plates of Middle Eastern food
This was an outstanding experience in every way. The service was over the top—they accommodated is even though we had gotten lost in the underground and were a bit late, the server was friendly and amazingly helpful with the menu and our choices, even the hostess as we were leaving asked how we liked specific dishes that she noticed we had ordered when she walked by the table (we were so impressed with this, something no one has ever done before—and we are restaurant owners who uphold high standards of customer service ourselves). The food was so flavorful and to us, creative. I was the vegetarian at our table of four, but the other meat eaters loved all the vegetarian dishes we ordered, too. I can’t wait to come again next time we are in London. I’ve also shared my experience with your friends who are long time residents of London, so they will hopefully dine here and spread the word to their friends and family as well.
I liked the starters the best . Friendly service. Big restaurant but with an intimate feel. Excellent wine.
Perfect service, very nice waiters. They help me with my food allergies. The made some arrangements, so I was able to enjoy their food. Every plate was complete, very tasteful, and simply excellent. A perfect moment !
Great vegan options, mainly side dishes and starters, but would have liked even more options for mains and desserts
