Cocotte South Kensington in Kensington and Chelsea

Tristemente decepcionante. Ya había estado en el restaurante en Richmond y pensé que era genial. La sucursal de Kensington era terrible. Hubo un error con el titular pero eso se rectificó. Sin embargo como estábamos compartiendo y habíamos señalado que teníamos que pedir placas. Llegaron dos de las órdenes de pollo. Luego vino otro unos 7 minutos después, luego los lados y las ensaladas. Las patatas fueron quemadas, pero todavía nos las trajeron. El plato final - la ensalada de col rizada fue la última en llegar después de unos 12 minutos desde la primera orden y honestamente el tocino parecía que se le había mostrado la sartén. La excusa era que solo tenían un chef. Sólo había unas cuatro mesas ocupadas. También sirvieron otra mesa con su pollo antes de que hubiéramos recibido la última de las nuestras. Me temo que mal administrado y realmente necesitaban a alguien en el paso ya que la comida caliente estaba demasiado cocinada.

The royal couscous dinner was exceptional.

Had a very tasty family lunch here - everything was great, and the service was lovely.

This place is amazing. I eat here whenever I’m in London. They are very nice and make the best hummus I’ve ever had. The falafels are also divine.

Amazing food and service by Nidaa and Eli, all of their dishes are impeccable

Fantastic little find. The chicken is very flavorful... perfect! Very friendly service. Nice calming atmosphere.

Fantastic meal. Best meal I've had in London for a while 💯

We love Eli's. The perfect place to relax and chill. Food, Wine and food excellent. Lovely staff. It's a hidden gem.

Fantastic food and wonderful people who provided top service. My wife and my two children all enjoyed our evening in a lovely setting, we will be going back soon that's for sure!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the most charming little restaurant in Kensington , and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the cutesy and aesthetic atmosphere. The decor was a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern elegance, with potted plants adding a touch of greenery to each cozy corner.The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a romantic dinner date. The attention to detail was impeccable, I loved the beautifully set tables.As for the food, it was simply divine. Each dish was a work of art, both in presentation and flavor. The menu offered a delightful mix of classic favorites and innovative creations, all made with the freshest ingredients. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal in a beautiful setting.

We were really impressed by the service at this restaurant, the food quality was outstanding, The owner of this unique restaurant was so friendly with his lovely wife . They Have a huge variety of wine and the best in the UK . I highly recommend the wine in this restaurant. The atmosphere, and the song that they play is very beautiful and romantic . I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone

I went with my family to this beautiful beautiful place in South Kensington, London The food was so good that we went three times in one month. Every time we tried a different kind of dish. All of them are delicious. The owners were so friendly and professional. The service was beyond what we expected. Definitely we are going back again. The halumi cheese is a must try . Make a trip to this Elegant restaurant . You will definitely like it.

The rotisserie chicken was great, the green beans were also very good, I would not recommend the vine leaves though. I loved the service too, they are lovely.

Fantastic food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality. I’d highly recommend it . Lots of vegan options too ✨✨

We booked for lunch as we were going to an exhibition at The Science Museum. (About 5 minutes away) 4 of us. 1 veggie, 2 flexitarians and 1 carnivore. With the choices on the menu we did 2 mixed mezzes, a couscous and a ratatouille. Perfect for lunch and enough room left for the, delicious, lemon posset as. Very reasonably priced too. Simply excellent. We'll be back next time we're around South Kensington for a museum or The Albert Hall.

We had a lovely relaxed lunch. Great food, lovely service and just a hop from South Kensington tube station. I'm sure this would be a great place also to stop off after a day at the museums.

If you are a hummus fan this is the place to go ! The appetizers are very good and diverse. The main plates are diverse and have a special taste.

A group of 8 of us were out for my birthday celebration. The food was absolutely delicious….. And the best ratatouille I’ve ever had! We were very well looked after by our host… and it was very good value for everything we had considering the location as well!

What a great experience! The owners are charming folks, and the food and atmosphere are great. I mean, really good. Well worth the visit, and we will visit again when we come back.

Lovely atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. Great food beautifully presented. Speed of service and arrival of food was perfect. Would recommend.

Great food and excellent service! The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely a must-visit!

Good food and great service. I love that the owners take time to talk to their customers, this small attention makes the dining experience even more enjoyable .

I came on holiday from Spain and this is a highly recommended restaurant from my friends and without a doubt it did not disappoint and would visit again!

Try the chicken vegetable soup, it is amazing!

Eli’s is a quaint little restaurant with delicious food! My son devoured his chicken burger. The hummous was full of flavor with the warm pita. We loved the rotisserie chicken. The decor of flowers hanging from the ceiling and wall coverings reminding us to LoVE was a special vibe. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Beautiful restaurant. Pleasant lounge music and staff. Very welcoming. The food is amazing. Tasty and fragrant. I will be back for sure and recommend.

As an American visiting London we went to this restaurant and we were so impressed with the food quality and the service. The owners of this restaurant are so friendly.the food was amazing and fresh and it tested so good that we decided to go back again . Please try it if you are in South Kensington. DONT MISS IT the menu is full of yammy things. I would give them 10 stars if I can.

Cozy place, good food and very friendly staff. Good music. It is a highly recommended place to eat or just have a drink.

My name is H and I love the restaurant with my full heart

Wonderful food, enjoyed the food and the atmosphere very much !! Would definitely come again!

very nice for family and date nights with fantastic customer service

Amazing food! And wonderful customer service i come here every week with my family

We visited with friends for dinner, we had a fantastic tasty meal and drinks for a very reasonable price. The host was very welcoming and engaging. I would thoroughly recommend visiting Eli’s to Friends and family.

We stopped with friends at this restaurant. Or the bosses are very friendly and helpful. The food is just wonderful. We travel and eat it. Thanks to them and see you soon. Nice continuation

We happened to pass by Harry Potter release. Well initially it was for a drink. Finally we stayed to eat, because the kindness, the smile, and the place made us want to stay. Quiet place. Just great boss. And just fantastic couscous, the best I have ever eaten in my life. Thank you and good luck

Amazing food and great service! The owners are really lovely people too. Will definitely be back again 😄

Very beautiful setting, very warm welcome and excellent cuisine. I highly recommend their couscous.

Gran restaurante familiar con deliciosa comida - la comida llegó rápidamente y era sabroso. Los alérgenos fueron bien entendidos y explicados - hay muchas opciones sin gluten. El ambiente es relajado y agradable, buen lugar para comer y relajarse después de visitar los museos! George y el equipo son geniales con los niños!

Excellent restaurant, wide choice and very tasty dishes! Very warm and welcoming chef, go for it

Amazing food and service , very nice people as well! I recommend the chilli houmous !

What a wonderful experience we had at Eli's tonight! We had an amazing dinner, a variety of mezze followed by the chicken escalope. Everything was just delicious. The atmosphere is lovely with plush, colourful furniture and flowers hanging from the ceiling. The staff members are kind and attentive. In fact, when we realized we'd accidentally left a shopping bag behind, they got in touch with us and held onto it for us. We really appreciated it. Eli's is a great place, and I recommend it heartily to visitors to the Kensington area of London.

Disfruté de un sabroso almuerzo aquí, con un cuarto de pollo, patatas fritas y una ensalada. El servidor se ocupó de asegurarse de que la comida no contenía artículos a los que soy alérgico. Me complací en un Mont Blanc de postre, que era más dulce que con sabor a castaña. En general, una buena comida y buena relación calidad-precio.

Love this place! I came here years ago with friends and we were treated so well. I was in the area and decided to pop in for lunch. Instantly both the man and woman (I believe they are the owners) made my 2 year old feel so welcomed and made every accommodation to make us feel comfortable (offered a high chair, extra table so we had space). The woman also hung up my rain cover for me with such care as it had been pouring. They were so friendly with us and made every effort with my son, talking to him like he was family. The food itself was delicious and so well priced considering the area. I look forward to going back the next time in and around south Ken!

The food is not fresh. It is served reheated. My friends and I ordered chicken, and it was very obviously spoiled. It smelled awful. The business owner was not helpful and kept repeating the same things. Stay away from the chicken, especially if you don’t want to risk food poisoning.

Vine aquí para un almuerzo rápido. Yo tenía el trato de almuerzo: un 1/4 de pollo con dos lados y salsa. Elegí papas fritas y la ensalada de pimienta asada y col rizada. Las papas estaban bien, pero eran una porción muy pequeña. Mi ensalada era 98 % col rizada, con unos tajos de pimienta asada encima. El pollo estaba bien. En general, fue una comida claramente promedio.

A hidden gem with an intimate atmosphere. The food is mouth-watering and each dish bursts with flavour. The staff are friendly and genuinely passionate. I will definitely visit again!

Très décevant. Soupe de poulet pour un brouet rempli de la graisse du lèche-frites, burger assez sec avec des frites froides, crême de marron recouverte de chantilly comme un enfant peut le faire, etc. , les plats sont très chers et pitoyables.

It was a great place to have lunch. Food was excellent a service oustanding. Restaurant is also quite nice. Very good for celiac, they were very knowlegable and we had an excellent gluten free lunch. Many thanks to the owners.

We enjoyed this cheerful family-run Levant-style restaurant. Looking for a light meal we shared three cold mezze and hot chicken couscous. Lovely, smokey baba ghanoush, good stuffed vine leaves and houmous. The chicken had a tagine feel to it, with braised cabbage and carrots, subtly flavoured. We ate everything and loved it. Sensible prices, discrete service, easy online booking with quick confirmation. Will go again when visiting the museums.

Delicious couscous. Very good service. Nice decoration and pleasant and soft music. I will come back

Amazing food and service! We had multiple dishes and they were all fantastic! The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend 🌸

Couscous was a very tasty highlight. Attentive & friendly staff.

An amazing little stop in here for an early supper today. The husband and wife owners came and talked with us and were amazing hosts. The chicken burger raised the bar for sure! The Merguez sausage and lamb on the Royal Platter were amazing. The couscous soaked up all the delicious flavors from the assorted vegetables, chicken, lamb, and merguez. This stop was completely at random, and it was simply a perfect fit to our day. Also, the espresso martini was fabulous. Sarah and I can't recommend this place enough.

Very good restaurant, pleasant staff and delicious food.

Excellent food! Friendly staff! Warm and fuzzy atmosphere. We had the rotisserie chicken and the Royale couscous. The couscous was delicious and portions generous!

Lovely place with amazing food! 😍

A great place to eat, good price and magnificent service. I highly recommend it!!!

Had a lovely meal here this evening. The service was very attentive. We started with mint tea and mezzes served with a selection of warm pittas. The rotisserie chicken was our main meal, which was enjoyed by all three of us dining here tonight.

Great restaurant! Great food, great service. 100% recommended!

Lovely Mediterranean food at this place along Bute street. Great mezze and rotisserie chicken. Recommend

Delicious Mediterranean food and rotisserie chicken. Kind and welcoming staff

Highly recommend the Green Apple salad! Service was quick.

Absolutely fabulous meal, fabulous hosts

Very good nurriture in a cool restaurant with a good music. Nothing else necessary.

I’m not sure about all the five star reviews. Maybe we just had a bad night but we dined there with our family of four and everyone was disappointed. Service was inattentive (had to chase the server down for water refills, clearing the table, and our bill) and the food was bland, which was surprising given that this kind of cuisine is famous for its pronounced spices and flavours. I order a cous cous with chicken, lamb and mergez sausage and i found all the meat was very dry and overcooked while the dish was also moderately cold. it takes a lot for me to decline the "optional" service charge, which now seems standard in London, but in this case i did not hesitate to tell the server to remove it from my bill. given how many great restaurants there are in London i would NOT recommend this place.

We found this lovely little place by chance after visiting the museums. Very good couscous and soup. Good service and charming owners.

Had the best chicken ever. Coming from Vancouver BC, I was searching for some healthy food choices. Eli elevated my experience for the day. Washrooms were spot clean here as well. Would definitely come back on my next trip to London.

Cute little cafe, loved their hummus and Pita bread as well as their dessert and cappuccino.

Staff were extremely rude so we didn’t stay. Intended to order drinks and follow that with food but this, apparently, was not permitted due to it being a ‘restaurant’ - a restaurant that was unsurprisingly empty.

Got a drink with some friends but we were not very welcomed. The service was a bit rude trying to turn us away and not very helpful in terms of helping get an extra chair.

Excellent family run restaurant in the heart of South Kensington with great service and comfortable outdoor seating... The babaganoush and chicken soup are two of my favourites, everything on the menu is super tasty.

Rispetto ai prezzi assurdi di Londra ha dei buoni prezzi. Il pollo era buonissimo e j contorni pure. Siamo stati davvero bene

Loved everything about this place! The food brought back childhood memories, and the owners is so generous and kind. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was delicious! I ordered the couscous menu for lunch and I still think about it how tasteful it was. The staff were polite and nice & the service was smooth. I will definitely visit the restaurant again, when I’m back in London.

You get quite a lot of chicken, which is tasty and tender, and the side of potatoes is enough to share between two. Chicken is served skin on but easily removed if you don't eat skin. The dish is simply served, service is pleasant in a small space. 12.5 % service charge is high.

Lovely. 10/10, great staff, food and portions.

£5 for a 330ml bottle. Swipe charged me 20% service without asking or prompting. Avoid.

Trendy little restaurant in south Kensington that served up some delicious Mediterranean cuisine. The hummus and stuffed vine leaves were excellent starters, very fresh and flavorful. The chicken couscous was amazing, the chicken was so moist and the flavor of the couscous was very authentic. Would definitely recommend!

I rarely leave reviews. In a neighbourhood riddled with multi-millionaires, their price points don’t reflect this. Comparatively cheap, family owned and superb couscous served soul bowl style with broth. Several patrons looked like regulars. Thanks for a great meal.

I've been meaning to try out this restaurant so after visiting the V&A, we finally had lunch here. It's a good spot close to the tube and museums and the prices are reasonable for this neck of the woods. I ordered the quarter chicken which comes with 2 sides- the kale and the fries which was £16. The chicken was succulent and tasty, I even ate all the skin which I never do! The kale was a healthy choice to counter balance the fries. I could easily had eaten more. I think the next time im here, ill order a half chicken as a quarter wasnt enough for me! There's not many rotisserie chicken restaurants around which is a shame so if you love rotisserie then this one will be right up your street.

Beautiful place, lovely ambiance, great food

We had dinner at Eli’s, the food is beautifully made, friendly service and great atmosphere! The chicken, the lamb couscous was amazing, the chicken liver is to die for! Everything was really good! Definitely recommend!

Great good, lovely atmosphere and very friendly employees

Attended eli's restaurant and spoke with the owner requesting for my young daughter to use their toilet. I must add that the establishment was empty and had no customers. The owner refused our request, and there should be some consideration when it comes to young children needing to use the toilet.

Fresh and flavorful meal. Every dish we had was delicious. Falafel, hummus and chicken couscous.

Great delicious food, atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend and I will be visiting again.

Great food and atmosphere, but bad service. We didn’t get our drinks nearly an hour after ordering, and the restaurant wasn’t that busy. All the food was delicious.

We ate very, very well. Two or three of us shared cold and hot mezze, it was excellent and very filling! I highly recommend !!! Impeccable service.

I’m a fan!! The owners are lovely, the food is good. We will be back!

Delicious food and great service. The chicken is sky high and recommended. It’s a family restaurant and a peaceful atmosphere.

Amazing service and amazing food. We stumbled upon this place by accident but the experience could not have been better. Such friendly staff and just an overall fantastic experience.

We ate here after spending the morning visiting museums. A very quiet, beautiful and pleasant place. The food was delicious. I totally recommend it!!

This is a gem of a restaurant in the heart of Kensington. The owner Nida and her husband cook and serve beautiful French/Lebanese cuisine. The rotisserie chicken is fantastic. So is the potato gratin and the beans. For starters we had the babaganoush and the chicken liver. Both were really tasty. Total bill plus green tea afterwards was £59 including service. So great value for Kensington considering the quality and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We had a genuinely lovely evening - a really cosy and calm atmosphere, spectacularly tasty food (between us we sampled five different mains and six mezze - all great) and friendly service. A very special evening (even the crockery is pretty gorgeous!)... We will definitely be back.

My favourite restaurant ever! The food is amazing and customer service by Nida and Hasan is incredible. Highly recommended!

Very pleasantly surprised by the discovery of this place We ate really well there (3 different dishes and all very delicious) Perfect value for money

At first I didn’t notice your establishment, I walked by and didn’t leave any attention. Just recently I managed to visit your establishment, since I didn’t eat at home, at first it seemed that the service was so bad Too good, the employees are polite and sociable, and in general the establishment is beautiful and atmospheric, but besides, the food is very tasty. Honestly, there is a special taste) different from others like it In other matters, I began to visit this establishment very often, sometimes even more than one, I recommend it to everyone, do not pass by. I'm sure you'll like it as much as we do, but you should try it first, and then You yourself will understand what I was talking about. Good luck to everyone and have a nice day, and thank you for the good service and quality and delicious food!!! Maybe we’ll even meet there, by the way, if I’m not mistaken, they do take-out food there too, which is very convenient in some cases, but it’s still interesting and it’s very interesting to sit in the establishment itself.

This place deserves five stars really its service is special and its food is very delicious I love this place and its prices are reasonable
