Food, drinks, deserts all great, can't wait to go back. Lovely kitchen and bar staff (who made me a strawberry cocktail to die for and explained me how to recreate it at home since I don't live in London. The chefs were incredibly accommodating when I couldn't decide between desserts. Also cool restroom that reminded me of an old movie. Service staff were also nice.

Had all the vegetarian options and the food was incredibly delicious and creative. The staff was professional and quite attentive. Nothing but smiles and good natured wait staff. Ambiance was modern and inviting to anyone.

I love this restaurant. Plan at least 2 visits every time I go to London. The food is original exceptional always surprising. Have never been disappointed with a dish. My favorite London restaurant

All other Ottolenghi restaurants are better than this one, with more veggie / vegan options and better service. Service here is disinterested and borderline rude; after asking to explain the menu, the dishes weren't explained, and after my vegan girlfriend asked for hummus with bread, was told hummus is only served with pork. One of the cheapest ingredients in the whole restaurant and you can't accommodate a small change? That says it all. Some dishes were lukewarm rather than hot, and carrots arrived cold, which ruined the flavour. £161 bill and we all remained hungry. We won't return to NOPI.

The vegetable dishes were outstanding, but the meat and fish not as good. The staff, especially our waiter, was aloof and not welcoming. The atmosphere and vibe did not align with the brand, it was pretentious. For the price point the customer care should be much better. Shame. Food good but wouldn?t go back.

Simply fabulous. Great balance to the spices and big flavour hits. We are not vegetarian, but this is how to deliver vegetable dishes. The meat dishes too are excellent. Such skills to put together the combinations. Highly recommended

After trying to get a table for 6 months, I managed to secure a table for our team Christmas lunch - it was explained to us on arrival that the dishes would come out separately as it was 'tapas style'. The first dishes came out after 40 minutes, with an additional 30/40 minutes for the mains. We asked several times how long the food was going to be and we were told the delay was because there was not enough space on the table (!) - the reason being the empty plates had not be cleared! The manager was made aware of the poor/delayed service and not once did we receive an apology, even when we asked for the service to be taken off. Very disappointed with the whole experience - do not recommend!

An outstanding pre theatre dinner, thank you. Brilliant service & first class food. All vegetarian sharing plates & nibbles to start. Thank you team, will be back.

I?m a great fan of Ottolenghi and cook his recipes all the time so it was a sure fire choice restaurant for our annual London w/e away. Lovely food, but the star of the show was our waiter Panagiotis. He managed to be hugely attentive without being overbearing. He sensed that we were getting a bit restless, as some of our main dishes hadn?t arrived, and came straight over with a free extra course. He kept our wine topped up but not in the ?we want you to buy more wine? way. Very impressive. I also like that Nopi have not sent me an email asking, ?How did we do?. Thank the Lord

We had unexpectedly delicious dinner at the bar at NOPI. The bartender was really chatty and seemed to deight in his work. My husband had a "charcoal martini" was was odd but good, or so he said.The food was inventive. The burrata appetizer was excellent as was the black key lime tart. I especially loved the homemade bread. Great spot, definitely recommend!

This is an Ottolenghi restaurant and does not disappoint. We had several small plates to share: a celeriac dish, burrata with plums and toasted coriander seeds, roasted maple glazed carrots with ricotta and then shared a main of aubergine. Everything was outstanding. Service was friendly but it is a popular/very busy place and you are allotted a time frame of one hour and 15 minutes, so no lingering and they did semi rush us out the door. Would return for the very tasty food.

A disappointment. At the outset you are informed that you have the table for 2 hours, although we were rushed from the moment we got to the table. I didn't even have my jacket off before the server asked if we wanted to order drinks. I said that I didn't have a chance to look at the menu so we needed a couple of minutes. Literally 2 minutes later the server reappeared asking for our drink order. Trying to subtly slow things down, I explained that we were going to order our drinks and some snacks and look through the rest of the menu. Before our drinks arrived we were asked what else we wanted to order. Of course, the drinks, appetizers, and first part of the main meal all arrived at the same time. At this point, I said that they need to slow things way down-- but by that point we had maybe 80% of our order on the table and we hadn't even been in there for 25 minutes. Easily some of the worst service I've had anywhere at this price point. To NOPI's credit, the food was good but it was a shame we couldn't really enjoy it.

We are big fans of Yotam Ottolenghi and his cookbooks, and we booked a table for dinner at NOPI as soon as our travel plans to London were confirmed. We had an exceptional meal at NOPI. Everything was fantastic (standouts for us were the savory cheesecake with beet and honey, the char siu cauliflower, and one of the best desserts we?ve ever eaten, the caramelized kataifi with pistachios and mastiha ice cream ? so interesting and delicious.) One of us especially loved being able to eat a wide variety of dishes without having to spend the hours in the kitchen it would take to create all this. The cocktails and recommended wine were fabulous. Service was terrific, and the ambiance was relaxed and buzzy without being overly loud (we sat upstairs at an individual table versus at a communal table downstairs.) We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Always a pleasure to be back. Booked quite late so I only got a seat at the bar, which turned out to be a great experience as well. Char siu cauliflower, lemongrass, cucumber is highly recommended. And the Shawarma lamb rump, freekeh, toum, sumac anion was fabulous. Loved the Honey Negroni. To be repeated. Kudos to Louis for a attentive service and excellent wine recommendation.

Visited Warwick St Nopi. Was really looking forward to the food as good reviews from friends and love OL food. The reception greeting was welcoming. I asked to extend my table time as the person I was having lunch with I had not seen for over 30 years. They were very accommodating. Sadly everything then went down hill at the table. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, not sure why they were £15 a glass as nothing special and recommended by the waiter. Pork belly which was cold and sauce congealed. Whilst tasty I had to ask if the item should be served warm. I was advised it should be warm and they were kind enough to change.. Sole(fish) was good as was the celeriac. The mandarin sorbet was served watery in a glass topped with salt. Too salty to eat and at for £8.50 for a small scoop which was poorly executed, is criminal. The coffee was OK just- Not the best.We were then pushed to pay by staff asking if they can bring the card reader. I tried to ignore the bad vibe as was desperate not to let it spoil a special day. Bill £132 for a very disappointing meal. Will stick to the cook book and try somewhere else.
