Please note we don't take reservations for our outside courtyard area or on weekend brunches - but we welcome walk-ins for both + do our best to seat you swiftly + efficiently!

Just off Soho’s Carnaby Street in Kingly Court + serving food all day long, The Good Egg is a spectacular all day dining destination for a Tel Aviv-inspired breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner (try the award-winning shakshuka!).

The menus here cater very well to both meat eaters + veggie/vegan diners alike; central to the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere is a huge clay oven + long open kitchen bar, where guests can choose to dine while they enjoy the theatre of the chefs at work, unless they’d prefer a table away from the action.

Stunning seasonal house cocktails, craft beers, wines + desserts are on offer here too, making this the perfect pit stop.

    I feel like your chef has changed or something. The portion sizes have gone down, and ingredients weren't as good. It wasn't cooked or presented to your usual standard. I felt like the mains were lacking some of the extras you usually have and didn't enjoy the meal as much as usual. Is this a result of Brexit, supply problems or something? I didn't feel I got value for money last night for the two dishes we had and didn't taste as great as it usually does. I love good egg but this visit was a bit of a let down for me. Sorry to be a downer as I've always loved it before. Wes

    Real disappointed after seeing The Good Egg on Instagram and having a good day in London! All warm food came out freezing cold! This was due to it having sat at the counter for far too long, with no urgency from the chef for it to be collected or for it to be served. The restaurant was less than half full too. The cheese on top of the aubergine and lamb had formed a layer of skin and both the chicken and falafel were cold. When told the waiter/waitress, they claimed the dish was "supposed to be like this". The only positive was the hummus and whipped feta starter, as these are served cold.

    Overpriced for the food we got. They say large plates but it was smaller than the small plate!!!!!!!! We ordered the halloumi and the chicken shawarma and we thought it would be a wrap like thing but it was literally just chicken, tiny bit of onion with yogurt on this TINY plate!! for £14 absolutely ridiculous! The halloumi was really good though and the aubergine my friend had was apparently fantastic, I think we made a mistake in ordering what we did. but even still crap value but the vibe and place and service was amazing

    The style of the dishes has changed - the mains now don’t come with any bread/carb and you just share one small plate of veg with your whole table (nothing with the individual mains). Food still tastes good but this restaurant used to be much better value for money with the earlier menu style

    The Good Egg serves lovely food (though see below). However it appears to be run by people who couldn't care less and spent the entire time we were there just hanging out with each other at the bar and putting zero effort into ensuring the dining experience was a good one. I know there is an issue getting waiting staff at the moment but given how prices at this restaurant are far from cheap - some effort would have been appreciated. The other issue I've got is having gone to this restaurant several times since it opened i've noticed a gradual decline in quality. I had the Sabbich (a dish based on aubergine and egg) and had just a single piece of each in the pita with a tiny amount of tahini. Instead it was stuffed with cucumber -- tasty but not really the point here... A couple of years ago it was stuffed with egg and aubergine. Maybe it's just cost saving measures? I know how good this place can be - which is why I so disappointed at my recent experience and hope management can get things in order...

    The Good Egg is a great place to meet with friends for food after work or on the weekend. It was busy when we arrived but we were served promptly and the lady looking after us was thorough in checking if one of the dishes we were interested in had any gluten, which we appreciated. Kingly Court is quite a busy spot so it can be a bit noisy but you can also book a table inside the restaurant, as opposed to sitting on the terrace, where it is quieter. The food was delicious, service and general atmosphere was great. Would definitely come again - it is a popular spot so try and reserve a table in advance if you can.

    Good food. One item was incorrectly communicated to kitchen by waitress. The slightly aggressive manager who returned to the table twice to challenge our contention that we would not have ordered two chicken dishes let things down.

    The food is ok.. not wow.. I thought it was overpriced but perhaps this comes with the location. I asked to change a carb side item with french fries and they did not accept which surprised me since it's not a 'premium' item! The staff were nice and friendly overall.

    Been to the good egg before, loved it. Great food great service. We had a child with us and they made an effort to accommodate with the menu. Example: make a softer version of the chicken without spices and Chili ! Great experience. Defo book a table before but worth the trip in busy soho ! Well done guys !

    Food was really good but service was terrible. We ordered hummus and pitta to start with, we had to reorder it 3 times because no one submitted the order. It then came after our main course and they forgot the pitta so we couldn’t eat it. A table next to us complained and were met with a very frosty manager.

    We had halloumi to start, I had a fried chicken bun and my partner had a chicken shawarma. Food was dry.. notably the halloumi, the chicken in the shawarma and the bottom bun was rock solid. There was also no sauce in the chicken bun. The food and ambiance felt like a chain restaurant which I wasn’t expecting.

    The staff were all super friendly. We wanted a table in the courtyard. To accommodate this, they provided a table inside and we had drinks until a courtyard table was free. The service was attentive & lots of smiles. The food was fresh and delicious. Overall we had a lovely time in a lively & fun ambiance.

    A pleasant surprise in the middle of the west end. It was a lovely evening so we sat outside and it felt like we'd been transported to New Orleans. What a wonderful location. The food was also very tasty and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly it was served. The staff were very attentive and the whole experience was a joy.

    Really great restaurant experience & tasty food - definitely recommend. The wait staff were also really good with my baby - letting us store the pushchair out the way in a closed section of seating. Service was attentive & friendly. Food was SO GOOD - babka French toast sticks were *drool* and the shakahuka with merguez was sooo good!
