    The food is ok but completely overpriced and you can get much better elsewhere in London.

    Lovely food in a lively atmosphere. I do prefer the small tables for 2 as opposed to the long central one, as it gets quite noisy when there’s a few groups of people. Otherwise just exceedingly lovely!

    My parents were over in London for the weekend visiting for my father's 60th birthday. My sister and I brought my parents to Ottolenghi as we all love Ottolenghi and had previously had only positive experiences, and as this was a special occasion. Our experience at Ottolenghi was truly awful. From the disappointing food to condescending servers, our dinner at Ottolenghi on Friday night really started my father's birthday trip off with a sour taste. The cold dishes had clearly been sitting out for a long time and beyond that, the hot dishes were also very poor - from a burnt cabbage dish, to celeriac that tasted gone off, and a beef carpaccio so tough it was inedible and sent back. To add insult to injury, when the bill came, my father was reading over it when the waiter scoffed at him and said 'God you must be like the only person who actually looks at a bill anymore', it was incredibly condescending and rude, and clearly the intention was to insult. Our bill was high as we were celebrating and ordering a few bottles of wine (one of which was not a great recommendation) this would never have been an issue and we paid the added service charge but to only have the inedible carpaccio subtracted from the total bill and to be handled in such a rude manner was truly the final straw of a negative dining experience. We were truly shocked and disappointed by our meal and our opinion of Ottolenghi has been completely tarnished.
