Description

The flavours of Jerusalem have found a home in the heart of London’s theatreland, thanks to this stylish and deservedly popular restaurant. A zinc kitchen counter runs back to an intimate, wood-panelled dining room, which is filled with an almighty bustle. Like the atmosphere, the cooking is inviting and invigorating, with the good value dishes including fabulous fresh breads, superior dips and a range of produce cooked over fire.

Food quality is generally praised, with standout items like the cucumber-almond starter and shared platters, though some guests note small portions and inconsistent flavors. Service is typically friendly and efficient, but pacing can be rushed. The atmosphere is lively, featuring pink lighting and an open kitchen view, but noise levels may hinder conversation. Value perceptions vary; while some find it reasonable, others consider it overpriced. Overall, it suits diners seeking a vibrant, shareable dining experience, provided they are comfortable with potential noise and smaller servings.
