Honey & Co. Bloomsbury in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A go to restaurant when in the area. I love the cosy vibe and decor and it's always friendly service. It's not cheap but you wouldn't expect it in Bloomsbury. It's brilliant in the morning, but I love the vibe in the evening too, or for some afternoon treats. They have a lovely variety of food with influences from all over the Levant and Europe, which somehow manages to be both approachable but still show some heart and culture. Which is not always easy to find in London especially in the centre.

The food is great, but man it is EXPENSIVE. I was not prepared to pay €155 for only 2 people that had 1 soft drink each + food.

Fake middle eastern place. Stolen food and culture. The owners are Israeli are trying to promote it as a middle eastern restaurant

It’s not real Arab food… They were so rude with us Owned by Israeli couple

Great food, I recommend the sharing plate - lots of lovely things, and a good wine list. I remember when this location was a tapas restaurant and it is now considerably busier and more popular. It seems especially popular with north Americans - there were several tables of them there. As the tables are quite close together, this has the unfortunate effect of meaning you have to hear other people's conversations all the way through your meal. Americans have a tendency to talk loudly, with little regard as to whether other people around them can hear. Guess what? We don't find your stories of going to therapy or what "triggers" you to be interesting. You are not fascinating. So have a bit of respect for other paying customers and turn the volume down when the tables are close together.

Awful food. Avoid at all costs.

Went there, meat was way undercooked and there was a hair in the hummus not to mention it’s owned by Israelis parading around like Arabs making Arabic cousine. Get your own culture stop stealing others disgusting food and service

Our favorite London restaurant—and that’s coming from big fans of Ottolenghi and his restaurants. This Middle Eastern spot, started by two stars of the Ottolenghi world, achieves casual elegance in every detail: the ambiance, the Bloomsbury locale, and the menu offerings are all spot-on. We especially enjoyed the mezze, handcrafted drinks, and desserts (the mains weren’t nearly so memorable). Also, if you can’t get a table here, pop across the street to Honey & Co. daily for bakery and take-away items.

Very accommodating with allergies, wonderful service!

I went to Honey & Co back in January, as I gathered it's a middle eastern cuisine and asked about the authenticity of this cuisine, their service is poor, the food is not well cooked. I developed good poisoning from eating here. If y'all are looking for a good middle eastern cuisine go somewhere else. So many other restaurants on this stretch like swiss butter etc. that are much better than this if you are close by

Overpriced and disgusting food and service the staff were unnecessarily rude and unhelpful later we found out it’s owned by an Israeli couple selling Middle Eastern food so they stole that too. Will never eat at a genocide supporters restaurant again no thank you.

Disgusting food, disgusting service. Waiters rude and sarcastic. Food is not even Middle Eastern the restaurant is owned by isrealis. DONT GO HERE! AVOID!!!

We have been traveling in England for 10 days and this is the best meal we have had on our trip. the chicken dumplings in broth main course was fantastic. The starter assortment of breads was top notch and the babka and pistachio cake were both first class. The service was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

We popped by for lunch on a Friday, and were delighted to see it wasn't particularly busy. We took one of the tables outside since it was a nice enough day. The patio is very small/narrow, though, so there wasn't much "ambience" there. Two adults and two kids, not particularly hungry, and we just ordered a few things. Most things tasted really lovely, were full of flavor, and despite the prices being on the high side and the portions on the small side, we left feeling very satisfied. Peach salad was gorgeous, Lamb siniya was delicious, and the only semi-miss was the Snack plate (the tahini was absolutely luscious but there could have been a few more pickles and olives for the price!). The kids loved the lemonade, though the artistic jug it came in was a bit precarious for them to handle. Our waitress was pleasant and appropriately attentive. Overall, would definitely return if we're ever back in London, but probably not when we're quite hungry, haha!

Mediocre yet overpriced. Real disappointment after trying out delicious recipes from the original 2 books. For a set menu for 2 cost 130 with 2 basic cocktails. Nothing special regarding taste or ingredients. Expected more

They say 'Middle Eastern' - turns out its all cultural misappropriation. Its owned by I s r a e l i s . Don't eat here if you want innocent kids in G a z a to suffer.

Great food and the best cheesecake I have ever had!

stealing middle eastern food and culture

This is the food of the coloniser. If you go there you’re complicit

This sucksss!!! The waiters were so mean, the food was tasteless, and the dishes were dirty specially the spoons i have asked 3 times for a spoon and i got spoon with stains each time .

food was stolen. genocidal food. if you support peace and freedom DO NOT EAT HERE. NOT AUTHENTIC FOOD.

Found a bug in my food. Overpriced and small portions, never again eating here

Food was good but still simple for the price. I really liked the aubergine, but for me it’s definitely not worst it. The place is cool, but the music is too loud.

This isn’t Middle Eastern, this is a Israeli restaurant that just claim Middle Eastern food as their own...

I keep coming back because the desserts are so tasty! The mains are good too, there's friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere.

Disappointing meal Overpriced We were so excited about going to this restaurant but it was a complete disappointment. Mediocre and well below the standards expected. I would suggest that the chef patrons visit Gloriosa Glasgow, 5 March and Kapo To fully grasp the use of flavour and ingredients Stunned by how expensive it was for such mediocre and pedestrian offerings The toilets were also pretty dirty

Food is gorgeous. I go every time I visit London and always bring a pot of jam home with me as it’s the best. Service is excellent - chilled and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, it was incredibly tasty! The flavors were outstanding and each dish was a delight. The prices are very reasonable, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The ambiance is lovely, making for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommended!!!

Nice place, but portion sizes are very small and not reflective of the price. Also no gluten free bread, which is very poor for a higher end restaurant. I've attached a photo of my meals which cost almost £20. I left feeling as hungry as when I went in..

Went for a late lunch there today! The food was amazing staff was also very lovely the sharing menu is delicious! I could not get enough of the humous and breads! the mains were also incredibly tasty! The chicken and fish were just perfect

The food was exceptional. Every dish had depth and interest and the service was attentive and friendly. We chose almost every starter to shared between us and just three mains between five people and that was plenty.

Food was good but small portions. Atmosphere was a bit dry and boring. Service was ok. Overall was not an exciting experience even though location was on a lovely picturesque street

Mezze and breakfast is simply delicious

Delicious breakfast, lovely friendly staff, prompt service and chilled interiors. Perfect for a relaxed high quality brunch

Ate recently at honey co after it being recommended by some friends. Absolutely delicious. The mezes ahead of the meal were flavorful and very balanced. The hummus the best in the city and the main )lamb) tender. We had a delicious babka as a desert. 10/10

Really delicious food, healthy and female -owned

Not sure what cuisine they are trying to serve here but it was definitely not authentic Middle Eastern. Disappointing

4 of us ate there - 2 really liked their food - for the other 2 it was "fine". The service was also fine - friendly enough and reasonably efficient, until I asked for a sweetener with coffee ... "no, sorry" was the response. I ended up having to pop out and buy a pack of sweeteners (3 doors away). It's not on to serve coffee but have no sweeteners available - oh and three coffees got just one teaspoon between us. We didn't drink (just tap water - which was regularly refilled), shared a couple of starters between us and the bill still came to just over £60 a head.

Great casual dining with delicious middle Eastern fare. The dessert feta cheese cake is perfect. Service is great. Drinks are creative

Honey & Co is a great restaurant. Their dishes are very inventive and packed with flavour. They have an amazing Tahiti and fish plate, as well as their tomato aubergine salad. You cannot go wrong here.

The food was good. Clearly they use qualitty produce but the recipes are sometimes a little clunky. The staff is not friendly but efficient. Diner on the terrace is rather lovely on a sunny day. Not sure, it deserves the hype.

Experience at the restaurant was okay but some of the food must've gone bad as part of our party had an unpleasant experience later. Reached out to restaurant afterwards but no response

Chose this place based on recommendations for Shakshuka. Wow, incredibly good food and not entirely unreasonable prices for the location. We arrived at 9 am and expected it to be busy, we needn’t have made a booking because we were initially the only people here. The waitress was very nice and made good recommendations. Would I come back? Yes, however, i’d also be inclined to try other establishments nearby to see what was around.

Good but prices are REALLY exaggerated!!

We were a group of 10 and all of us got the sharing menu. We were seated in their lovely private dining room. We tasted most dishes. Standouts were the mezze platter (A+ hummus and bread) and the honey cheesecake. The lamb and seabass were good but not standouts in my opinion. Overall I'd have to give this 3.5 to 4 stars. While the food was good, I thought it was a tad expensive since it came up to £80 per person. Great ambiance though.

We stopped to make a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. The food looked good

A nice relaxed place, super close to work. On the expensive side

Beautiful meal. Sharing starters, all delicious and main course just as good. Lovely atmosphere and feta cheesecake to die for 😃

A tad expensive for what you get. The place and staff are really nice. The food is good and fresh but nothing sensational for the prices charged. We ordered hummus, falafel and the aubergine as a main. 24£ for an aubergine with some rice is a lot of money, even for a main.

Sweet and Warmth bakery’s shop,sandwich and dessert delicious ,cookies cute and yummy,is my favorite one!2024/4/10

Really lovely food, we shared 3 plates and it was really good level of being full!

Ordered shakshuka - divine! The sweetness was just right. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Other shops often make the disk taste like a lasagna disk - but not this one. The setting is beautiful and relaxed like a home living room.

Ottolenghi-like vibe. Incredible food. I dined here after a late lunch but came out of the restaurant feeling fully satiated. The fish was simple incredible. Very creative menu.

Incredible food on a beautiful side street - highly recommend

I went for lunch with two friends. Everything is really excellent and they have obviously Lebanese wines that go well together. The service is excellent and courteous. High prices but it's like this everywhere now.

Food was very tasty but quite overpriced we got two starters and two mains all vegetarian no drinks and paid £73. Staff is very friendly.A bit noisy during lunchtime.

Wait staff were sarcastic, uninterested, and seemed a little sneery when I wanted to remove quince which I hate from my food. Didn't mention that the meatballs were beef and lamb and they were really greasy and the sauce was sour. They didn't charge me for my food but they weren't happy with my criticism. Also you have to order sides of cracked wheat or pitta for the meatballs which they charge for on top of the £25 for three meatballs which isn't mentioned on the menu. Two other members on my table also were not happy with their food. Not a great experience and won't repeat my visit, the only nice things were the hummus and falafel.

Delicious food - would recommend the lamb pita!

The starters were incredible - so fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend the falafel - best I’ve ever had and paired with the Thani sauce was 10/10! However, main meals were slightly disappointing. Tried the lentil stew and the sea bass - both mediocre especially for the price. Staff were so lovely and helpful!

Amazing meal (we did the tasting menu for 3, but just 1 dessert - it was a lot of food, but totally worth it!!). I think I would have loved to be able to just eat the mezze, without the main, even though it tasted amazing. Waiter was really fantastic, and overall an absolutely wonderful experience!

I have been to Honey and Co a few times over the last decade and always would wax lyrical about the food, price and portion sizes. However when I went back recently with two friends, the sad lack of carb support was really disappointing. We ordered the labneh and hummus to share for starters, as the mezze starters were always my favourite. However the large pile of hummus (£11.50) came with just one pitta cut in half. One pitta between three people for a huge amount of hummus. The large pile of labneh (£14.50) came with three tiny crackers. One, little 3" by 1.5" cracker per person. We asked for more bread to transport the dips and were given just one more pitta for an extra £2. Two pounds for one pitta bread! I then ordered the meatballs for a main course and anticipated it might come with something to soak up the vast amount of sauce, but no. Just three meatballs and two slices of quince floating in a vat of sauce (£25). I would have asked for yet more bread but, fearing bankruptcy and the ire of the waitress I thought I would just sip my sauce and wait until I got home to eat some carbs. Honey and Co used to be all about sharing but why serve such massive amounts of dips and sauce with just a morsel of bread between a party to try to divide up fairly? I left still feeling hungry and for the HUGE prices, very disappointed. Wish it was like the old days, I used to love it, but I won't be going back.

Gross inauthentic food from this Israeli restaurant. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 don’t go

Delicious food, but given how expensive this was it was really let down by the service. I would say the service was adequate but simple things let it down - not enough glasses for the table, no cutlery to serve the shared mezze, had to ask to have plates cleared, asked twice for coffee order, was presented with two incorrect coffee orders, and took forever to pay the bill as only one card machine available.

Very tasty, highly recommend sharing a variety of dishes. The hummus was excellent very large portion size. Aubergine and lamb also very good.

Truly delicious food infused with incredible flavours. The staff were so professional and kind. Highly recommended. Have their speciality cheesecake, it's out of this world!

Look - the food, service, ambience all great. Can’t complain there. But I have to make a plea for bread. If you provide dips for £12/13 each, I expect them to come with a few slices of bread. Something to dip into your dip, maybe. But no, unfortunately not. We ordered the Labneh and the Hummus dips as starters. The labneh came with 3 tiny crackers and the hummus came with 1 small pita. We were a party of 3. This minuscule number of dipping implements was clearly not going to work for the mountain of dip. So we asked for more pita and were given 1 more slice - at the cost of £2. TWO POUNDS PER PITA. For a place that offers dips as a sharing platter, it feels like you’re ripping customers off by not even giving people a slice of pita each. Loved the rest of the meal, but felt hard done by here. Hungry diners be warned. Bring back bread!!

Mixed feelings about the food one of the dishes was very good but the other one not so much Welcoming and helpful staff

truly delicious! Especially the labneh, lamb and feta cheesecake (highlight)

Like the bread inside, it tastes like a kind of bread in my hometown, and it goes very well with the soup. But the overall price is high.

Aubergine with pistachio and pomegranate was great.

Worst ISRALIE restaurant in terms of taste, service and atmosphere

Great pastry and starters, shame about the mains. This place would make a great pastry outlet. (Authentic) Middle Eastern cuisine within striking distance.

An Israeli restaurant that has nothing to do with Arabic food

An Israeli restaurant with very mediocre food and not suitable for lovers of Arabic food

The food was absolutely amazing. Seasonal menus with special flavours. A bit pricy but worth it. You have to try the dessert.

Delicious food......cool decor ....great service!

Some of the best middle eastern food I have tried.

Really lovely and unusual food.

Great combinations of flavours in our choice of dishes (Labaneh starter then Roasted aubergine and Chicken madfunia for main courses). Excellent attentive friendly service. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Excellent hearty breakfast for anybody who loves middle-eastern inspired food. Nice service. Something a bit off with the paper table cloths and extremely bright lighting.

We had the big breakfast again and it was amazing! I really enjoyed the aubergine eggs dish as part of my breakfast which I didn't try the last time. This is my new favorite!

Very good restaurant with good Middle Eastern food of superior quality. The price is accordingly, but of course you pay for quality. The restaurant itself is minimalist and quite simply decorated. The service is good and fast. The only downside is that the staff pushed too much to leave the table when we were done eating. I understand that they work with time slots and that the restaurant is very popular. But when you pay a fairly high price, I expect to be able to sit at ease for a while. That's why I don't give it 5 stars.

Spectacular food, cozy ambiance, and a fresh take on Middle Eastern favorites. Highly recommend the tasting experience. You get to try all the mezze (and ask for seconds) and still get a full sized main and dessert. Staff is very knowledgeable about vegan options, so just mention you are vegan and they will help adapt any menu items as needed. I really enjoyed all dishes I tried, but the highlights were the falafel with squash and fall spices, the filled aubergine with pistachio and pomegranate (mezze), and the roasted eggplant with tahini BBQ glaze (main). Wow was that roasted eggplant good. Probably the best eggplant dish I’ve had. Highly recommend a visit. Be sure to book well in advance!

Amazing food. Lovely cardamom coffee. Service is lovely.

The food was amazing. The place has an extremely friendly staff. Snucked in a quiet neighborhood, well at least at the time we went. One of the best breakfast we've had in London! Also the plum and pistachio cake is a delight!

Ok service, the food was so disgusting. It’s not even real middle eastern food it’s embarrassing.

General: First, get your expectations straight - despite the (slightly) higher prices, this is not a fancy restaurant. This is a beautiful mix of a cafe and a deli with incredible middle-eastern food. Think of it as of an upscaled deli. If Nopi is a "special occasion experience", this is a "once-a-month treat". Food: Everything is tasty and loaded with tahini, which I absolutely adored. Flavours and seasonings are spot on. In terms of starters falafels and poached pears are a must, and for mains Madfunia was a very pleasant surprise - a tasty, flavorful chicken dish - I loved it. Edit (6 years and many visits later): everything above still stands roughly. The menu changed slightly, but the set menu is an incredible value still!

Absolutely a must visit, if you can get in. Fantastic food and the service was so good..loved it

Great food, nicely served. Buzzy and noisy atmosphere, tables are quite close together

Had a lovely Birthday dinner for my wife tonight and everything was delicious. And the staff we're 100% excellent.

Wonderful food, hummus and falafel the best ever. Lots of flavours and very tasty. My favourite was the slow cooked lamb with saffron. Service was ok and environment bit cold. Afterall great experience and highly recommended it.

Excellent as always. I only ever go when the Royal Mansaf is on the menu, a standout rice dish! Service is always spot on too. A perfect spot for meeting friends. Only slight complaint is the tables were too close together so there were three breakages due to people swinging their coats!

the cheesecake kunefe is outstanding. We had the winter menu and the food with green and reds really add to the festive feel.

Gorgeous food, really lovely for a group brunch. Service fantastic too! Quite a small place so make sure you book in advance with plenty of notice.

Amazing to share breakfast - everything was so tasty! Will def come again!

Really good Lebanese food. The service was not the best but all the staff is very kind. A little overpriced but it is worth a try when in London

We visited Honey and Co Saturday 9th Dec @ 3 pm , reservation for 4 we shared the winter menu , and chose some wines which were all reasonably priced, the mezze starter with a selection of breads was superb , the saffron poached pear and endive salad was a big hit , i had the royal Mansaf as a main and shared a feta and honey cheesecake all were excellent , the service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a nice vibe , plus the restaurant has relocated to a lovely street in Bloomsbury , a great Saturday lunch

Second time I've gotten something from them and have been disappointed. Got their Fiztrovia bun today and it was DRENCHED in sugar and syrup. Went straight to the bin. Literally diabetes on a plate.There must have been a kilo of sugar on one bun to the point where the bun was soaked. How is this even safe to eat. Yes, it's a pastry but there has to be a balance in flavour. I loved the service though and the girl at the till wearing a headscarf was a gem.

Super ! Personnel incroyable, étant très à l'écoute notamment pour les allergies. Je recommande. Nourriture incroyable très qualitative et très bonnes quantités.

Wow! Superb food. Eat here if you happen to be in London. I travelled from the other side of the city, and it was so worthy it! AMAZING!!!
