  “Staff were quick and attentive, even with a toddler in tow. The shawarma spiced mushroom and leek pie was the best thing we ate, with big flavours and a combination I wouldn't have thought of. The cod with beurre blanc was excellent too, but the vegetable dishes are where this kitchen shines. You can draw all over the table, so our little one was happy and we got to eat in peace. One of our favourites now. We'll be back with the family”

  “U could not go wrong with any dish. Recommend you share the dishes…and I agree: very nice to try a bit of everything. The ingredients ….and some u would never think to pair…go splendidly together and really make you rethink your own cooking.”

  “We were disappointed with this experience. A good friend recommended and I was looking forward to a fabulous meal. Unfortunately, that was not the case. From the moment we stepped in the restaurant we noted the music was very loud. It’s a nicely decorated and modern restaurant. We were sat at a very nice table upstairs but difficult to even chat with your companion due to how loud the music was. The service was, meh. Nothing special. Our server didn’t come by to ask how our food was, refill our glasses with water. Explanation of the menu was not that great. Food wise, everything, except one dish was also, meh. We had the focaccia and aubergine as a starter. The Focaccia was very good, but the aubergine was lacking flavor. The tomato salad was the best dish. It was very lovely. The beetroot cheesecake was not at all what I expected and I did not love. The chicken was very good but for 39£ I have definitely had better. Overall, we left feeling really unimpressed and did not feel the experience was worth the price. Sadly, would not come again.”

  “Rather than a traditional Mediterranean restaurant, I’d describe it as a well-executed fusion concept. The space is stunning — high ceilings,and a warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the white walls and tiled interior. The menu was just a single page, simple but thoughtfully curated. Every dish we ordered was memorable. The food was genuinely delicious. The pork chop restored my faith in British pork, and the roast chicken was astonishingly succulent and flavourful. A special mention to the service: we told our waiter that we were heading to the theatre afterwards, and he carefully explained the timing of each dish and even reminded us about the bill at exactly the right moment. Thoughtful, attentive service that really enhanced the whole experience. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and genuinely attentive service — exactly the kind of place that makes for a special evening.”

  “I rarely leave reviews but this was truly a terrible experience due to the food; especially disappointing because Rovi was so good. As you can see in the photos, every dish sans the sourdough was heavily fried or drenched in a pool of oil. The congee, mind you, looks like a soup, but alas, the "soup" you see is nothing but oil - the dish was inedible after several bites. Rather than enjoying varied flavors and textures, the primary focus quickly became attempting but failing to avoid the overwhelming flavor and texture of oil in every dish. No dish was unique; just a sense of "fried" and "oily". We paid almost 200 quid, but I wouldn't eat here again for free.”

  “Of the now eight restaurants we’ve dined at this week, Nopi stands head and shoulders above. We ordered six exquisite shareable dishes- each with impeccable attention to taste, texture, seasoning, complexity, and freshness. Simply wonderful! The service staff is knowledgeable and passionate about the food- eager to share as much information as a diner wants to hear. Set in a coolly renovated space, the serene white tile and plaster punctuated with aged brass fixtures is both bright and airy, classic and aged. See photos for details. Absolutely must have the Valdeón savory cheesecake!”

  “Really looked forward to visiting, we decided to get a place at the bar thinking we would face the kitchen, unfortunately we juste faced the espresso machine and mirrors but it was alright. Table seating seemed much better. Waiter was friendly. Food is great but suggested number of items seemed a bit much. Flavors are great but it’s a lot of flavors by the end of the meal. Great cocktails and wine. We had a good time but we weren’t WOWed.”

  “Our experience at Nopi was good. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented. The service was excellent and service-oriented. The atmosphere was a bit more challenging; I found it too noisy due to all the talking patrons. Our staff visibly struggled with this as well. It would be smart if the restaurant installed acoustic panels in combination with plants, or just panels, so that the sounds do not reverberate. Because of this, my rating is not 4 or 5 stars.”

  “Liked it again! We had been previously, though some years ago, and thought we would revisit on this trip to London - also a big fan of Yotam's! Minimalist, clean lines & white welcomes you in to Nopi and everything else is what you would expect really - menu, provenance, preparation, presentation and of course flavour. Good meal that comes with a London price tag!”

  “Nopi was truly excellent - interesting and well-cooked dishes, bold and unique flavours, and excellent services. They do sauces incredibly well. They did not have a table when we went but asked if we were ok with communal seating at the basement near the kitchen and pantry - we ended up being the only ones there after the other group finished their meal and left, and it was almost like private dining! The dishes pictured below were absolutely delicious though I think you can give the octopus a miss which took the longest and was the weakest dish. Do give this a try if you’d like a meal to truly surprise you and tickle your senses.”
