Honey and Smoke in City of London, Westminster

No volvería a visitarlo. He tenido mejor en Maroush. Sensación deprimente. Nada de atmósfera. Tan decepcionado como tenía expectativas tan altas. Nunca extraño su columna en la revista FT. Cubos duros de cordero y pitta empapada. Sin embargo, la granada y el zumaque le dieron un aventón al plato.

Terrible comida. Tan decepcionado como tuvo una muy buena experiencia en su restaurante hermano Honey & co en Lambs Conduit street. Es tan frustrante y decepcionante cuando un restaurante se vuelve perezoso. Los entrantes vinieron inmediatamente, refrigerados por lo que cualquier sabor golpeó fuera de ellos. Todo el lugar sucio y plano. No malgastes tu dinero

Excelente servicio. Personal encantador. Pero Comida muy decepcionante. Solía ir allí a menudo. Entonces paró. La mayoría de los platos principales eran fríos. Pescado frío desagradable. Sótano sin carácter. Esperaba que la hierba saltara por el suelo. Se detendrá de nuevo. Quizás están centrando la atención en el nuevo lugar.

Gorgeous food. He entrado aquí buscando un lugar para sentarse y tener una charla con algunos amigos. Una cálida bienvenida, un gran servicio, tan cálido y acogedor y genuino y especial gracias a Talal. La comida era fresca y sabía fabuloso. Definitivamente volveré aquí para trabajar mi camino a través del menú.

Dos noches seguidas. ¿Necesito decir más? Me encantaron los tacos de cerdo, pulpo era exquisito y falafel inusualmente húmedo y sabroso. Personal cálido y con ganas de complacer.

Absolutamente deliciosa comida y personal encantador y bien informado. Teníamos platos vegetarianos y todos estaban sabrosos y llenos de sabores.

Precios extorsivos. £ 18 por un plato de 4 piezas de espárragos. Buena comida pero típica enormemente caro. No soy de Londres, pero incluso mis amigos londinenses se sintieron estafados. Fue decepcionante ser llevado a un sótano cálido y oscuro en una hermosa tarde soleada.

I felt this place was perfectly adequate for a Saturday lunch with family. The restaurant gave us a table which could accommodate a small pram without any difficulty. The Mezze plate and Labeneh & broccoli were a good choice to start and mains of Ali Nazik lamb and tuna skewer were what one would expect although the Aubergine with green tahini was incredibly rich and not to my liking. Orange blossom iced tea was awful but the chocolate masala cake was fine. Service was slightly haphazard but okay. I probably wouldn't return as there was not enough to lure me back.

Been meaning to come here for a while. The wine and cocktails were stunning, the food was about right for the price point. Atmosphere was perfect for a boozy weekday lunchtime catch up with a good friend.

Tasty starter- tasty desert- nice cocktails. Unfortunately the main was a bit bland and merely warm- I think this may be an issue if sitting downstairs, as the food travels a long way to you and presumably loses its heat en route. The bill was eye wateringly expensive, so unfortunately we won't be returning.

Went there Tuesday evening. Restaurant was packed and we soon realized why. The food was as out of this world and we particularly loved the duck.

Wonderful food! Fabulous selection of dishes. Best sourdough I’ve ever had in my life and also excellent service. What more could you want? Well possibly a degree or two warmer on a chilly January day but would go back anytime.

I was appalled at the service and cost of our meal at Honey and Smoke. The waitresses who served us were awful (tall blonde ponytail and another with glasses) literally had the worst service manner I have ever seen. Literally had our receipt thrown at us after paying for an overpriced meal with tiny portions in a dark and dingy restaurant. Avoid at all costs!

We were a table of 7 - sat at a generous long table in the rest of a beautifully outfitted restaurant. Always loved Honey & Co so to eat here while over this side of the world a treat. We shared various plates off the A la Carte menu with a helpful suggestion or 2 by the waiting staff . The presentation and flavour of all simply delicious; and portion size generous. The dishes came to the table gradually which is what we requested. - we didn’t feel rushed to vacate our table and enjoyed the signature cheesecake and a superb choc dessert - rich but not sweet. Staff were on hand if needed and friendly and professional. Highly recommend going with friends to share as many dishes as possible

I’ve been to Honey and Smoke many times and the food has always been exceptional. This time the thing that was equally excellent was the service. I had booked a table for a late lunch with a friend, but unfortunately the work meeting I was at beforehand ran over- and I got there 30min late. The waitress had settled and looked after my friend, welcomed me even though I was late and got us drinks and starters promptly. My friend then had to pop out for 20min to pick something up- the waitress delayed our main courses until she got back!! In summary the staff served us efficiently and warmly, didn’t rush us off the table (in total we had it over 3 hours!!) and brought us food as delicious as it always is. Thanks to all the team, we remain utterly loyal customers, from the 2 chaotic girls who were in the back corner on Friday afternoon!!

Really good food & excellent service. Decided to visit after eating in Honey & Co in July , which I felt was better. The food in Honey & Co was slightly better, the portions more generous & the restaurant more light & airy.

Delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. Wonderful hummus, grilled peaches, crispy potatoes. Will be back soon. Service was excellent.

The food is really good. A limited choice but every dish was a high quality. The service was attentive and we were served very efficiently. It is though expensive. The wine was particularly overpriced. Good restaurant but save it for a special occasion.

Nice ambience in the restaurant. Had an exceptional gin and tonic which would definitely go back for! Was a little underwhelmed with the food however. We Started with the sharing planned and then had the aubergine with tahini, prawns with watermelon and some of the potatoes on the side. The potatoes were served with tahini as a side and it was a very dry. Pretty tasteless experience. The prawns with the watermelon was also an interesting texture experience and not quite for us. However, might be right up some peoples allies! Would not be a good restaurant for a picky eater

Booked for 6.30 sitting. The food was always as always delicious but the waitress nearly ruined our dinner. We knew we had to leave at 8.30 but we were interrupted time after time. Getting us to order five mins after we sat down. Rushing us thru our starters. Main course arrived 30 seconds later? Rushing that away. Rushing us to pay . Endless interrupting. We got the impression that we were to hustled out as quickly as possible. All that did was to ensure we stayed until exactly 8.30. Petty but really - a two hour slot is a two hour slot ..not a race. So beware should you want to relax and enjoy your meal.

Bad quality food and expensive. This Restaurant is not good. I wonder how did others rate it high!!! We ordered two Ali Nazik lamb grills and two BBQ chicken. The meat was not cooked well and SAlTY. Thought, the waitress tried to change the plate with more cooked ones but they were the same. The cooks are not welled trained. The staff were helpful and the only good thing about this restaurant.

The mezzes were tasty especially the labneh but the vegetarian main was just aubergine and it was, well, a bit boring and not very original. The lamb and chicken kebabs were the same - fine but not exceptional. We didn't stay for dessert. With a bit to drink it was nearly £150 per couple, which felt a lot, even with rampant inflation. It's just a shame because Honey and Co is delightful but the focus on the grill makes for a fairly dull and unoriginal menu these days. At least the orange chairs have gone.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in London. The lamb skewer with the baba ganoush and pomegranate seeds was absolutely delicious and one of, if not the most delicious dishes I've had in London. The smashed potatoes were also great. The service was excellent too. I didn't like the cheesecake dessert very much. It was very salty and tasted too savoury at times. It needed more honey or syrup. Wouldn't recommend the dessert. Will definitely be coming back here!!

We chose Iftar Menu We arrived at 18:00 and order food to 18:24 Iftar time but food arrived 15 minutes laters after we asked where is the food? People came after us were served before us saying they are private party 🤔 In the menu...

Gorgeous food and super friendly service Loved this place and even wanted to buy the cookbook Really convivial atmosphere for a busy city centre restaurant Mid range pricey but so worth it The mains stuffed aubergine with green tahini is divine !! Will be back

All I ask of a restaurant is that I don't leave feeling like I've been ripped off. I need the number on the bill to be a fitting reflection of the standard of the food. Honey And Smoke is that oh-so-rare thing where I leave...

My partner and I dined here for lunch and I had been excited to try for a while, it can appear quite difficult to book so I was delighted to get a walk in today. However I have to say it’s pretty average. The staff...

I have been wanting to visit this place for ages so took the opportunity on a recent London trip to book a table. We were not disappointed… 2 veggies and 1 meat eater were delighted with every dish. Standouts were the pears and Greek cheese...

Had lunch here last Friday in November. Bit disappointed when I walked in, looks more like a cafe, the welcome and service is a bit chaotic. But oh my lord the food. We had a wide range of the dishes on the menu, and not...

Excellent venue - short menu but good options and ours were all delicious- a mix of meze and mains (although I think the cherries should have been de stalked and pitted ). Decent value Excellent service- increasingly rare at the minute but the team were...

My friends and I are big foodies, and we know great nosh when we taste it! So we loved our time here at Honey & Smoke, early in the evening of Saturday, 3 December. • Food: Amazing. Everything was delicious, fresh as can be, skilfully...

I would save your hard earned pennies, the quality of this food was just not worth the prices reflected on the menu. Such a shame. Very basic flavours, very over-priced. Flavouring was either non existence or just too much of one spice. Very amateur. Staff...

Not cheap, but would absolutely return. Food quality was excellent. Portions are sizeable, we were caught out and had too much. Somehow they make something as basic as hummus incredible. The pear and halloumi starter is superb. The aubergine main is also excellent, as is...

Visited on the back of a Giles Coren advert which, for once, was accurate. All courses were decent - I had baked salted beetroot with yoghurt, and lamb stifado, but the cheesecake dessert was amazing. Friendly staff. The noise in the room at times had...

Good selection of vegetarian food. The standouts were delicious bread and cheesecake. Other food ordered was all ok, think a couple of vegetarian dishes lacked some flavour, but others said meat was amazing. Service really good, provided advice and guidance when requested and asked others...

Superb food, attentive and kind staff and an overall feel of a principalled and responsible / supportive approach to workforce wellbeing. Bravo. Thank you for a lovely birthday experience for my wife snd I. Well worth the trek back from York!

Last time we all went to Honey and Co it was in Warren Street and it was a very intimate place, very home made and you felt like a special guest, and we loved meeting Sarit and Itamar and the then chef, the wonderful Batool....

Over priced and overrated. If you like quality spicy and tasty Middle Eastern food - don’t bother going here. Would not recommend.

We were excited about trying out what Honey and Smoke had to offer and booked a table for lunch. The vibe of the restaurant is fine - sort of casual and not memorable. Our waiter was not especially efficient - and a real ‘low light’...

I have lived in Israel for almost ten years. The food is truly amazing there and revolves around the concepts of abundance and freshness. This restaurant tries to replicate the flavors, and it was quite good and fresh honestly, but the concept of "abundance" is...

Except for high noise levels at peak times 🙉, everything else about H&S is outstandingly good. (DON’T go for a first date unless you want to begin your relationship with shouting and more shouting.) The food is rustic but but well prepared and handsomely presented....

The food was bland and lacking in any spice or flavour! It was also pricey for little plates of food. Very disappointing overall. Staff were attentive however and couldn't be faulted, but the kitchen need to up their game and give much better value. Would...

A special anniversary treat. We were looking forward to this return visit and our anticipation was absolutely justified. Food is fab. Lovely friendly and fun environment too. Service, care and attention are outstanding. For example, I spilled water on the table and started mopping it...

Fabulous food, really good wines and excellent service. Special mention to the lovely Tatiana who was friendly and engaging, she really made our evening special.

Our decision on where to have an early evening dinner as part of my wife’s birthday celebrations was heavily influenced by the glowing review given by one of the restaurant critics who writes for a well-known daily and Sunday newspaper. When I told one of...

After seeing all the reviews and wanting to eat a meal we couldn't easily get elsewhere we booked a table at Honey and Smoke for 6.30pm on a Saturday, the only time we could get a table before 8.30pm. The service was excellent and extremely...

Friday night in London, thanks to Storm Eunice, was a little quieter than usual/expected. Honey and Smoke was busy, but not heaving. It should have been. Really excellent food, we shared some small plates for a starter, then hit the mains. We couldn't get to...

We had Ali Nazik lamb, chicken joojah as main courses. Then bergamot posset and cheesecake as deserts. Al tasty. Epitome of fusion of European and Middle East cousine. The service was excellent and with a smile. Highly recommended

It is not for me frankly! A bit noisy, a bit confusing and…not really sure where the toilets are!!!! Anyway the menu is interesting with a mixture of Middle Eastern influences but sometimes the “fusion” didn’t really worked for me. The service is good although,...

I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening in January with my family to celebrate my daughter's 24th birthday. There was a nice buzz to the place on entering which made the place seem warm in spite of the dark decor. We started with cocktails...

We have been twice and just love the place. First of all we love the service. It’s friendly, informal but professional. All of the small dishes are very creative with a Middle Eastern bias. Everything really tasty. The kitchen is open to the restaurant and...

I came here for lunch with my colleague recently and we were both pleasantly surprised with everything. The decor, service and food were all fantastic. One thing I would say, is that it is definitely more on the pricey side, we ordered lots of smaller...

Pre-Christmas meal with nieces. I am so pleased this restaurant was recommended by senior niece. The layers of flavour and interest from the menu was superb. Highlights included celeriac cooked in embers, beautiful texture, perfectly cooked fish and delightful desserts. Excellent service too. Well worth...

We had excellent food and lovely wines at Honey and Smoke. It was great service - very friendly and prompt without being too rushed, All of us (a group of 8) really enjoyed the food - every dish was excellent. The only niggle was that...

I really wanted to love this experience but I just couldn't. Went there as I've seen the owners cook and their food looks so delicious. The restaurant has none of their warmth, it seems quite basic, the service is functional and cold. Our mains went...

A lovley experinace, all the food was a delicate and balance of fresh, sweet, savory deliciousness. Between the three of is we made the most of a very difficult to choose menu but stand outs for me was the beetroot, lamb skewers and oh so...

Great experience on Friday night with Honey & Smoke. So nice to be back enjoying fine food. Thanks to H&S staff for catering to our every need and for having fabulous vegetarian options. The figs and cheese were divine.

I thought the food was good as was the service and was a nice buzz even in the basement. My only criticism was that I thought it was v expensive for what it is.

Great food, recommend for something a bit different. Whole sea bass spot on and the side of potatoes amazing. There is of course the Honey & Co cheese cake to finish

Really excited to try this place on visit to London, as its quite well known. Everything was very average. I think an upstairs table would have helped, but the food is really nothing special and a bit over priced. Staff are friendly, but wouldn’t rush...

What an amazing experience, EVERYTHING was perfect! The food was fabulous, service lovely! We will be back x

Sitting in Curzon Bloomsbury & friend says, let's eat at Honey & Smoke. We book a table x3 pax for 3.30 pm & 25 min walk thru Bloomsbury. Lovely. Great Covid protection. We choose our table & order! Staff & ambience super. Food too! I'm...

We ate here for a birthday celebration and had the set menu. They were very kind and swapped one dish of bulgar wheat to rice for me. Otherwise, all the food was GF anyway. And, so so delicious - outstanding! Lovely atmosphere and great service....

We went on a Monday evening for their special Moroccan menu and all three courses were excellent. Really subtle flavours. The service was very pleasant but the staff seemed stretched. Our second course came before we had quite finished our first, while there was then...

We really enjoyed the visit to Honey and Smoke today. The food was amazing, every dish was very flavourful and different from any other middle eastern food we had previously. The staff was very attentive and knowledgable as well. Highly recommended.

the service was excellent. the food was the same and the price was ok, what else do you ask in a restaurant? the ambient? the decoration, it was all perfect.

Attentive service, gave us excellent recommendations on corresponding drinks to a truly extraordinary menu. Do it!

This was my first visit to Honey and Smoke. The food was delicious, the service attentive, and I plan to return. The dessert of plum and pistachio cake was really out of this world!

Fabulous Middle Eastern feast. Friendly staff in a modern setting, close to Euston station. We had an early evening dinner before catching a train. Grilled prawns and octopus were particularly excellent!

An early supper with the usual wonderful food, and more than helpful staff. They made a special effort to accommodate extra people without any fuss.

Shared Mezze & Grills - Lamb Kebab, 1/2 Za'atar Chicken and Baby Back Pork ribs - all washed down with a lovely Hungarian white and attentive service.

Wonderful Middle Eastern cuisine. Most meals are gluten free, and plenty of vegetarian options. Friendly attentive staff. Comfortable seating. I’m so glad to have found this restaurant. Brunch menu is nicely varied. My tastebuds are still happy.

We went here for a special birthday celebration, 7 of us, and had a hugely enjoyable time. All the food was delicious - we shared the mezzo platter first - the fried cauliflower with tahini and pomegranate was especially good, as was the hummus. All...

The restaurant itself is lovely, it had a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed the food (we were recommended by a friend to go). The sharing mezze’s are absolutely delicious - and most of them are vegan friendly which was also a huge plus! However,...

Why do some restaurants put the service charge in advance as if they give you amazing service? It’s a bit like, we are going to charge you anyway, so we won’t bother giving you good service. Isn’t it annoying when you want to have a...

A gem of a restaurant offering delicious middle eastern mezze options. Serving excellent authentic dishes with a relaxed setting. We went on a Saturday night and the place was hopping with a couple of bigger parties but the staff was very attentive to our table...

We decided, to have our special dinner out, at this amazing place on Tuesday evening. Have to mention that we did not have booked a table, but they actually managed to find us a nice table even though it was late, around 9pm. The manager...

Visited here for New Year’s Eve. Excited, as it had such good reviews — plus our favourite kind of food, location was also close to our nye venue. Food was very disappointing for the price. It really put a dampener on a special evening. The...

A terribly wasted opportunity. Zero atmosphere and feels like a slightly upscale cafe thanks to the cheap decor and furniture. Food is also overpriced on a monumental scale. I forget the name now but we each had the chicken wrap thingy as the main. It...

We couldn’t get a reservation at Honey & Co. so tried here instead ... the benchmark has been set so high at Honey & Co. though that unfortunately this place was pretty average for food, service and ambience ...

I went here with 11 colleagues just before Christmas. The food was absolutely brilliant, such a selection and so lovely....very reasonably priced, sufficient noise and bustle but still able to have decent conversation....will be back - the cheesecake is outstanding

We had meze, followed by delicious lamb chops. Desserts also great. Friendly knowledgeable waiting staff. It is a expensive but great for a treat

Great food, flexible staff, delicious menu and cheesecake that's more than a cheesecake (don't forget to leave bit of space for this!). Somewhat pricey and unless the whole table has the meze plus main the portions are a little skimpy. The cheesecake is very impressive...

After a disappointing start to the meal - with average mezes for the price and then an odd main course - we then had genuinely excellent service - my main annoyance in UK eateries. They handled our disappointments beyond necessarily and the food we got...

As this restaurant is located close to my office, I have been intending to try it for some time but it was so disappointing. I arrived for an early lunch and the restaurant was not busy at 12.30pm but I was allocated a table for...

Middle Eastern messes are the main thing here, hit and miss, some of them weren’t fresh, lots of pickled veggies are added, simple setting, good value!

Went with 4 colleagues for a catch up meal, and thoroughly enjoyed it. At 1st glance the restaurant looked quite small but there is a further eating area downstairs. The meze starter was very tasty and my lamb cutlet main course was delicious. The goat...

Awful mezze - every corner cut. Mostly pickled vegetables and a little hummus - but even this tasted like supermarket own label, not the delicious dish of 4-5 months ago. And my main, tuna, dish was horrid - charred tasteless rubber discs on slices of...

Our second visit, this time with friends. A warm welcome and farewell. Good service, if a bit hit and miss - there was no napkin for one place setting and it took repeated requests for that to be addressed. The cooking was good, but somehow...

This is the fourth time I have visited this restaurant. The format is the same but the dishes including some of the meze have changed. The meze lacked flavour. My main course of tuna shish was dry and flavourless. The service was friendly and attentive...

Myself and four others booked a table at Honey and Smoke for my birthday. We opted for the mezze platter to share, followed by a main, and two of us shared a slice of cake at the end of the meal. Our first impressions were...

Portion sizes seemed fine to us. Four of us eat extremely well. Beautiful meze. Standouts were burnt celeriac and a dish of poaches pears. Crispy quail was an exceptional main course. The feta and honey cheesecake is justifiably famous

Considering this is supposed to be Middle Eastern We were puzzled led by the meze for two , which was more like a meagre leftover . One bun, and two balls of falafel , one fig. Tiny tahine. Tiny hummus Tiny pickles.tiny pickled celeriac cubes....

I always appreciate staff at restaurants with ethnic cuisine menus, who spend enough time to explain each and every dish to the guest and recommend further dishes based on one's taste buds, spice-tolerances and so on. This is exactly what happened at Honey and Smoke...

A friend and I went for supper after work. The tables are so tiny that there's barely room for the food. The ambiance was full of clatter and, with all the bare surfaces, it felt more like a canteen than a destination restaurant. We ordered...

I went to Honey and smoke for dinner with my son. We had the mixed mezze plates which had freshly baked bread rolls and a selection of middle eastern inspired tiny tastes with some truly wonderful figs. I had the octopus for my main which...

How lovely to end the working week on such a high! A group of us from work arrived an hour before our booking, and were welcomed to our table and chatted over cocktails while the rest of the party arrived. We were looked after attentively,...

Thoroughly enjoyed: food, ambience and service. Will definitely visit again. Thank you to all. Prawns as a main is a must! Don’t forget to try the Palestinian wine.

This is quite a unique restaurant in the area and gave an enjoyable lunch. It’s a little cramped inside with the tables being very close to each other but the decor inside works well - artwork on one wall with the other being plain exposed...

A small and really good lebanese restaurant. The food was really good and the wine fantastic. Great service as well. Rather small and busy, so book in advance.
