Kima in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the best restaurants in London I have so far in my life! We choose 4 ways to have the fish. Both me and my friend are impressed by the quality of each dishes!

It was very good. The fish is delicious. But it's expensive...

Great food and service was very nice! Everything is freshly prepared and the manager Alexandros looked after us very well.

This quaint, nondescript Greek restaurant is a hidden gem in Westminster, London. As soon as you enter you're greeted with warm hospitality and enthusiasm befitting the Greek culture and not to mention the display of fresh seafood ripe for the picking! The restaurant only has a few tables which makes booking a must but also allows for their team to give each individual their full attention. The food is fresh, totally full of flavour and a seafood lovers dream for experience. A great venue for a romantic night out, business lunch or just catching up with your friends and family.

Have visited Kima about 5 times over the past year and haven't had one bad experience or dish! The service from Stamatis, Alesandros and team is impeccable. They are always very attentive and provide service with a smile. The cerviche, octopus and scorpion fish are always superb. But honestly, you would struggle to find a fault with any dish. Credit to the chef and the whole team! See you soon!

We felt very course was delicious and with emphasised the flavour of the ingredients. The service was on point and the environment intimate and was a good vibe which matched the cuisine. One to remember and recommend.

Great fish concept. Unique experience and incredible tasty

On the expensive side. Simple food, tasty, fresh ingredients with copious amounts of olive oil and friendly service. Recommended.

Food is amazing, special mention to the Tuna Parmesan. However I did not enjoy the space , it is quite small and the overall atmosphere wasn’t good in my opinion.

Choose ur fish and cook as four dishes, will definitely go back for fish lovers

Just want to add to the 5 star reviews of Kima. We had the whole fish (sea bream) with 4 preparations - soup, carpaccio, grilled head and collar, and charcoal-grilled fillet with giouvetsi. Every single dish was fantastic. For starters, the tarama and bottarga were delicious. Save room for the 75 dot seaweed millefeuille, too!

I visited in early April that my friends and I had been wanting to try for a while, and it had a rating of 4.9. We ordered the catch of the day sea bream three ways, plus tuna steak, T-bone, and some sides. 🌟 Fish Soup My personal favorite, a tangy fish soup that is like Tom Yum without the lemongrass flavor. 🌟 Raw Fish Thin slices of raw fish mixed with olive oil, slightly tangy seasoning. Although the taste was good, I found having two tangy appetizers in a row a bit boring. 🌟 Fricasse Fish fillet served on a bed of creamy mixed zucchini shreds. The first bite was good, but by the second bite, the flavors seemed to clash since there wasn’t a dominant taste. 🌟 Grilled Fish with Olive Oil Grilled fish head and tail with just olive oil for seasoning. 🌟 Aged Tuna Steak Smoked on the outside and rare on the inside, very tender and not fishy. However, the accompanying sauce didn’t quite match well. 🌟 T Bone Porter House 🌟 Long Beans and Tomatoes added some diversity to the meal, both were good 🌟 Mashed Potato The star of the table! I didn’t expect this side dish to be so delicious. Smoky and creamy, with a mustard seed sauce on top that added both texture and flavor. ✍️ Overall, perhaps my expectations were a bit high. Although there were no major disappointments, I wouldn’t revisit. The seafood was indeed very fresh, and the culinary method were fine, but the seasoning was not particularly impressive. The service was excellent, and I loved the macarons given after the meal, which reminded me of the ones from Pierre across the street.

Three of us there for lunch today. We were very happy about the food and service as well, we definitely will visit again soon.

One of The best restaurants in London. Love everything. Octopus delicious. Been few times already

I read about this restaurant from a Foodie’s Guide to Marylebone article in Country and Townhouse and booked it for my husband (who loves seafood and is a true foodie). I booked the reservation and added allergy request. They went above and beyond to accommodate him. Here’s his review: I had an amazing dinner at Kima! They have a very fresh selection of Mediterranean fish to choose from. I had the red mullet prepared three ways. All three were delicious, but the head and collar plate was spectacular. Afterwards I ordered an espresso, and Alexandros added a complimentary mastiha cordial and olive oil macarons. Truly first rate service, and every course was delectable.

Go for the catch of the day the 4 ways. Best fish in London

Didn't disappoint. Great food and service

I recently dined at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The staff were extremely attentive which added to the overall experience. However, the prices were quite high. Additionally, the setting was a bit cramped, which somewhat affected the comfort of our meal. Overall, a good rating: 7/10

Super experience at this intimate restaurant. Food was excellent!

Fresh fish, perfect preparation, very good service. All the team works for perfection. Bravo!

Great and very fresh fish selection! Service 10/10!

For fresh fish dishes, we chose a 1.4kg seabass that can be eaten five ways. The fish soup and sashimi tartar are very fresh, with a strong lemon flavor and olive oil. I am a little afraid of sourness, but my partner thinks it is okay. Yes, I was very satisfied with the grilled fish and the last fillet with tomato risotto. It was my first time to eat a whole fish from beginning to end. It was a very special experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the staff was also great.

We were a group of 6 last night. We were all blown away by the food. The fish 3 ways was excellent. Everything from the bread to the chocolate mousse was delicious. Our waiter really looked after us and even came to say good bye at the end when he was off home. They obviously are very passionate about the level of service and food in this restaurant and it really pays off. Thank you for a memorable meal.

Dessert is nicest. Fish is very fresh. Sustainable as well. Good services. Recommend the octopus!

Yes to the Greek salad, octopus and sea bass served 2 different ways and broccoli with yogurt. Everything was delicious, service is sweet and attentive. Luckily we liked our neighbors on both sides as we were almost in each others laps. Hopefully they didn’t mind us either🙃

Magnificent food. Fish cooked to perfection! Probably one of our favourite restaurants in London. Service was extremely attentive and professional.

Top notch service and incredible greek food.

This is my favourite restaurant in London. The food is amazing. The staff are lovely. It is never too noisy or crowded. I could nto recommend KIMA enough

Very enjoyable meal. Each and every dish was very good. Great and atentive service. The raw fish was exceptional

Amazing and novel fin to tail concept where one fish is used to make 3-4 dishes. We had a 1.7kg sea bass broken down into a soup, greek salad, carpaccio and grilled fish + tomato orzo. Delicious and well executed. The food was flavourful despite using simple ingredients. Would recommend!

5/5 probably the BEST greek in london. and better greek than most places I’ve been to in greece. Kima sets a new mark for greek cuisine. The Taramas is the best I’ve had in my life. setting aside the amazing presentation, the yolk just adds more depth to the dish and take it to another level. the raw fish is so thinly sliced with well balanced but strong flavors. Everything we’ve had was simply perfect. even our least favorite dish (Tuna parmesan) was made to perfection. just wasn’t as outstanding as the other dishes. the 75 dots millefeuille was perfectly balanced to finish the meal. I would have preferred a traditional biscuit over the seaweed. but I can’t complain as it was great. Milk chocolate was also very deep and flattering the meal we’ve had.
I am defo coming back even though I pretty much had 90% of the menu.

The octopus legs are a bit salty, but everything else is pretty good

5 star Greek experience. Compete respect for the product and simple yet sophisticated preparation. Our service was excellent and very kind. Could not fault.

We have been in London for a week and we came to Kima 3 times! Why? Because the food is simply exceptional, the service is unparalleled. Alexandros is the King of hospitality. He treated us as family, with so much care, kindness and professionalism. Such degree of service is rare to find nowadays. Absolutely a restaurant to gO

Exceptional. We’re in London for a week and came twice. Lovely attentive service and fresh, quality fish dishes that are hard to come by. Cute, stylish and quiet space. We will be back again and again!

Wow just wow. The whole experience was just amazing. Our waiter Stomatas was so welcoming and really made our experience even better. It’s such an amazing concept to use a whole fish in three different ways. And the food was just incredible!! Me and my friend left feeling overjoyed with the whole experience. Thankyou team Kima

Amazing service and amazing food. Really recommended!

Very good food! We had sea bream and sea bass which were both incredible. The staff are very friendly and all of the food was excellent

Amazing food and care by waiters. Recommended!!

Amazing food, good service and nice decor. Obviously not a place to get a relatively cheap meal, but you certainly get what you’ve paid for here

What an amazing and experiential dinner. From the solicitousness of the servers to the presentation of the food, we had a dinner worth remembering. We picked our fish from a selection on ice, chose the weight we wanted, and based on that, they explained the number of courses they could generate from just that one whole Fish. Even the one course that we thought sounded too basic, an Athenian salad, was incredibly delicious. Excellent and will be back.

Absolutely amazing food. Brings some innovative ideas while keeping the quality and simplicity.

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Love the creativity of the food, the seaweed milliefeuille was amazing! The octopus was so soft and tender. Our favourite was the prawn giouvetsi, full of flavour yet we'll balanced. Each ingredient has it's own taste and temperature, and when it combines, all the flavour comes together but none was overpowering. Excellent experience. Will come again!

The food was exceptional and I look forward to coming back here again. The range of fish dishes is great, and they’re happy to cook it to your preference. My favourite dish was the fish of day sliced thinly with olive oil - fully recommend! Incredible service and a delightful atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful evening

One of the best fish restaurants in London. Each dish prepared with care, and to perfection, guided with great hospitality from our host, Alexandros. Inside, it’s simple, modern and unpretentious - it was calm for Saturday lunch. We had the catch of the day, which we picked from the display at the front - (wild pink bream) this was prepared into four dishes. We also had some extras and dessert, all enough for two. We started with a delicate lemony broth, followed by a fresh carpaccio, and finishing with the meaty grilled fillet, drizzled with olive oil, table side. We also had the ‘Mezze’ with the leftover parts of the fish - these were full of flavour. The tomato orzo, leek fricasse and fresh bread were delicious and complimented, perfectly, the fish courses. Not to mention the wine - the Santorini Assrytiko was a perfect enhancer to the flavours of the whole meal. Dessert was a refreshing citrus-mastic curd/ice cream topped with a mild olive oil, plus some complimentary macarons. Flavours and textures, done perfectly, allowing quality produce to shine through. We will be back!

Booked a large table for 12 and was treated like royalty. Picked out 2 large fish (sea bass) charcoal grilled and a thick steak. All cooked to perfection. Highlights included the grilled octopus appetizer. Highly recommend.

This is a truly outstanding restaurant. Definitely not yet discovered by the critics. The level of cooking is quite exceptional, elegant incredibly skilful, flawless in fact. This is an expensive restaurant, but really exceptional and at the time of writing, not many people seem to know about it. Half a dozen tables, exceptional service really high-level and kind as well… Amazing food that I can’t afford, unless someone else takes me… Stunning food though

Beautiful greek restaurant with focus on fresh fish cooked in various ways. The food is delicious, concept unique, staff and service amazing, friendly in a homy intimate setting in the heart of Marylebone. 5 out of 5

I had an amazing experience at Kima. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. The sourdough bread was fresh and complemented the dish perfectly. We also tried the fish souvlaki, which was seasoned beautifully and cooked to perfection. The sea bream shank fricassee was another standout dish - the fish was tender and flavourful, and the sauce was rich and savoury. Our waiter, Alexandros, was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was exceptional. He provided us with great recommendations and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. Nice and wide selection of wines to choose from. I would recommend Kima if you're in Marylebone and looking for a great dining experience in London

Kima is a lovely modern Greek restaurant with a focus on fish. We chose a sea bass from the selection of the catch at the front, and this was then prepared in three/four ways: soup, carpaccio, grilled cheeks and roast with pasta. All had vibrant flavours of their own, really delicious. I hadn’t even been looking for a fish restaurant, I just wanted to eat somewhere near to the Hellenic Centre prior to a concert, but this gem was such a pleasant surprise that I will definitely return. Service was very welcoming and helpful without being fake or in-your-face. We informed them of the time we needed to leave and they managed the timing of the dishes very well around that. Highly recommended

Eating at Kima was absolutely an incredible experience. Both food and the service here are fantastic. I have no words for the fish soup — it exceeded all my expectations, and I want to eat it again and again, it’s pure love, really. Taramosalata, we had it as a starter, is also unique. I felt at peace when eating it. Greek cuisine is one of my favourites, I’ve been to Greece many times, and I have to say — this was one of the best (if not the best) encounters with Greek food. Don’t waste your time, go to Kima as soon as possible!

The food was amazing. The staff is really nice and helpful. It was a lovely lunch and every dish we tried was so tasteful and so amazingly presented. Highly recommend it! 5 stars are very well deserved!

Kima excedeed all our expectations. From flavours full of depth, flavour and aesthetics to exceptional hospitality. Me and my husband felt completely spoiled by the experience. Stamatis made us feel so welcomed through his professional service and friendliness. Thank you everyone at Kima for making our day so special.

Can’t recommend more! Perfect service, top class ingredients, excellent cooking.

Hidden gem in marylebone. Excellent food. Service is attentive and on point. Freshest fish. Gracious host. Excellent

Every single dish we had was soooo good. Recommend picking a fresh fish from the counter and they prepare it in 3 diff ways: soup, carpaccio and grilled. Also...save room for dessert...and the feta sour is one hell of a cocktail. Go here!!!!

We went to Kima for a double date with some friends. From the warm reception of the host to the nice table, the excellent service to the memorable food (fish prepared 3 ways), this was a spectacular evening! Quality doesn't come cheap, but Kima will see us again, this is for sure...

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The waiting staff were very attentive. I was very impressed.

Excellent Greek food! The service was superb! Highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back

Culinary perfection. The menu combines quality ingredients expertly prepared. The knowledgeable and attentive service ensured that every detail of our dining experience was flawlessly executed, while the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable gastronomic journey. The outstanding wine list was carefully chosen to complement our exquisite dishes.

Most unique food experience I’ve had in a while, and boy was it a good one! Enjoyed a course meal all from a single sea bass which was so delicious

Stamatis and all the staff made us feel very welcome! Excellent service and tasty, creative food!

Simply one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in London. The waiter (Alexandros) was very friendly, but the whole team in general were super enthusiastic about the food they served and it was a pleasure to watch them at work. Before you order, you’ll be shown all the fresh fish available for the day. The waiter will tell you exactly what each fish is, the ways it can be cooked (raw, steamed, grilled, fried etc) and will ask for your preferences (do you like orzo? Tomato or cream sauce?). From there, they will make some recommendations and will let you choose exactly which fish. We chose the red snapper for raw preparation and the scorpion fish to be steamed and served with orzo. The price is calculated by weight (£135 per kg I think) and is the same rate regardless of which fish you choose. The raw fish was quite nice although a bit salty for our tastes. Can definitely feel how fresh it was. The real highlight was the scorpion fish & orzo (their signature dish). It was insanely good, probably the best non-Asian style fish I’ve ever had in my life! Flavours were bold but not overpowering, it was a perfectly balanced dish and certainly enough for 2 people. We had the chargrilled lettuce as a side which we also enjoyed quite a lot! You also get complimentary petit fours at the end (an olive oil macaroon each). I booked my dinner with a special promo at the time, and the promo was accidentally not applied on the bill (I didn’t notice). The waiter caught it after we had paid and left, and immediately called me to ask me to come and collect the refund! He was super apologetic and offered a free dessert (the olive oil custard & sorbet which was divine btw). I really appreciate restaurants with integrity and honesty, and was very happy with how they immediately tried to rectify the mistake. The ambience was very lux, and combined with the personalized service + small size of restaurant, I think this is one of the better value “luxury” dining experiences in London! You really get a lot out of £90-100 per person here, versus other restaurants that I’ve eaten at in a similar price range. TLDR highly recommend you try this if you have the budget for a lux dinner (before this place gets too popular and famous, because it definitely will).

It was a really memorable dinner! The food was fantastic! We loved the tacos/souvlaki, the mustard mash, the orzo. Really high calibre cooking! We will come again!

Amazing dishes, excellent quality, flavours created around Greek traditional cuisine and manifested onto seafood and more. Reasonable prices and great service

Our waiter Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and remarkably friendly. Our visit felt very much tailored to us, with great attention to detail in both service and food. We loved the concept of using the entire fish: one fish = fish soup, raw fish carpaccio & grilled fish. The presentation of every dish down to the napkins in which warmly baked bread arrived was top notch, such eye candy. My recommendations to the kitchen: make the fish soup a tad less sour / the olive oil macarons less sweet. My personal favorite: the Greek salad with fresh Greek olive oil poured on top with a decanter and dipped with warm bread, fabulous!

Delicious fish dishes with amazing service. We will be back!

Memorable dining experience! Best fish place in London and by far the most innovative way of enjoying fish. Service is spot on, attentive and professional. The sashimi-style fish is amazing, the bread they make in house you will wish to have it each morning you wake up, while the prawn carabiñeros is out-of-this-world! Don’t try and resist the urge to finish with their berries tart along with a glass of sweet wine; you will miss on the best ending! Oh, and start with a Basilico cocktail; thank them later!

Service and food amazing as always ! Must try the Greek salad with the warm freshly baked bread !

If you are looking for the best fin to gill experience this is the place where food presentation , taste and service is on another lever. Thank you very much Alexandros and Rania we will be back for sure !!

The food and the service was amazing! Especially, this soup 'kakavia' was delicious! Perfect fin to gill experience!

Absolutely delicious food and five star service! Fresh fish cooked in simple yet innovative ways and amazing quality. Great desserts as well. Would definitely return here!

Best fish restaurant in London by far. 5 stars services. Good job.

Don’t waste your time. There are plenty of better Greek restaurants in London. Most a lot cheaper than here. Summary: overpriced, sterile atmosphere, average food.

Great little find. Sister venue of Opsa opposite but more elevated and thoughtfully prepared food. Great ingredients and what I would refer to as contemporary Greek vs the usual traditional one commonly gets everywhere else. Well done.

The best Greek food of my life and with a very modern approach. The highlight was the dry aged tuna steak with techniques similar to Josh Niland in Melbourne. It comes out like a rib eye. The Taramasolata was playfully portrayed and delicious. The fish soup, a beautiful take as a light starter. The fish carpaccio was amazingly fresh with some of the tastiest olive oil I’ve ever had. The fish suvlaki is a fun take on it and comes out as a small taco. Highly recommend the grilled romaine side dish too. 10/10

I saw an article about the new opening and was intrigued about the fin to gill concept. Overall a very memorable experience-food was innovative and beautifully executed with fresh ingredients. It was nice to try new ways of cooking seafood-the tuna parmesan and tuna giovesti were standout dishes for me but everything else was equally excellent. Service was warm and friendly. Great to see such an exciting addition to the London restaurant scene. Look forward to coming back soon to try the whole charcoal fresh fish! 🐟

Newly opened. Excellent service, Alexandros our waiter was knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. The food was unique, fresh and delicious. Raw sea bass is a must, and the deserts were original and surprising. Will definitely come back and recommend you try this exciting restaurant in the heart of Marylebone.

Incredible food. The seabass was amazing! Very gourmet and all dishes were incredible.
