We've been wanting to come back ever since our first visit seven years ago. A small menu of perfectly prepared choices awaited us. Knowledgeable and personable staff helped us negotiate allergies. They do remarkably simple and magical things with a grill, from different kinds of bread to our amazing peach and almond with grilled endive and lamb shish. Cocktails were innovative and just a bit different. Love this place. read more

Cute little restaurant. We were given a table downstairs, and the ambiance was nice. I wasn't very hungry, or so I thought.... Once the food was brought to the table, the smell of all the flavors awakened my appetite. Definitely gotta try this place if you're in the neighborhood. Everything was delicious. read more

We stumbled on this place when the restaurant we were looking for turned out to be closed. A great find. I had a pork dish that was quite good, but I envied my wife's lamb kabob, which was fantastic. Small but interesting wine list. Great atmosphere, very competent and welcoming staff. read more

We really enjoyed both our food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We started with the Moroccan sourdough bread and the charred asparagus and gem lettuce. This salad might have been the best salad I've ever eaten! The slight char on the asparagus was perfectly balanced with the brightness and acidity of the dressing. I highly recommended starting with this. The Hubs loved his lamb kofta. Something so simple as the grilled tomato on the plate was amazing. Being vegetarian the only dinner option I had was the butternut squash and pine nuts kibbeh. It was very tasty, but I would have liked more veg dinner options. The crispy potatoes were perfectly crispy and delicious. We ordered way too much food and unfortunately didn't leave room for their famous feta cheese cake. We might need to come back just for that! read more

This was the first restaurant that caught my eye off a cursory search in a 3km/1.8mi radius of Grovesnor Square. Sure there are tons of names around, loads of restaurants that will charge you more but you won't eat or be treated better than Honey & Smoke. We were a little late for our reservation because I pushed the five year-old too hard today, and she was disappointed her second attempt to sit on a lion at the base of Nelson's Column was thwarted. We were sat in a cozy spot looking into the kitchen. The staff was wonderful and quickly came for cocktails, starters and mains, checking on allergies, giving us recommendations on spice and working together in a glorious symphony. We had hummus, asparagus with gem lettuce, lamb kefta and pork gyro. I couldn't catch the hummus or the gyro before they were attacked but I was able to grab the other two. Do yourself a favor, take a small trip to have food equal to what you're eating for double the price and have an experience with people who enjoy food and drink, just like you. read more

As soon as you walk in, you can smell the food from the grill- it's overpowering in the best way! Tables are all very spaced out and you can truly dine in a socially distant way unlike at most restaurants. Cocktails were all very well done- (I recommend the smokarita and apple & terragon G&T). As for the food, I'd say it was quite good overall but I was underwhelmed by the hummus, falafel, squid, and lamb shawarma. The dishes weren't bad by any means, but just felt a bit short of expectations. On the other hand, the aubergine badargani and grilled figs with goat cheese were excellent starters and for mains, I really enjoyed the charred octopus and chicken fatayer. Crispy potatoes are also a must! Dessert was fine- neither here nor there for me but I always need something sweet to end a meal :) read more

Apologies - we were enjoying the meal so much that we both omitted to take photos. Intimate dinner (a deux) for a girlfriend's birthday. She ordered the succulent crispy chicken which was relished and I ordered juicy seasonal lamb chops - we also enjoyed starters which were the badingani (Smokey egg plant/aubergine with a soft yolk and tahini sauce (the best!) the basket of bread selection served with the deepest most delicious extra virgin olive oil and cauliflower with a blend of mild spices. All the flavours were unexpectedly subtle, elegant and all the more surprising. I liked that the menu was a guide, it was still exciting to see what had been ordered when it arrived! We were particularly delighted that our food arrived at our table PIPING HOT! (This is a bugbear of mine and I will always return food that isn't hot to my touch when it is served. The staff were courteous, genuinely comfortable and relaxed, making our meal even more special. Attentive staff and yet not overpowering.. the restaurant never rushed us to leave although they were busy... we were too full to enjoy any desert and I even brought home a small doggy bag! I saw some fancy looking cocktails being served at the table next to us e.g. a G&T with a couple of black olives and a large green sprig of aromatic herb and not mint, apparently! read more

A lovely restaurant and dining experience. Superb service and an extra special thank you to Cordelia! What an exceptional human being.

The sister restaurant to Honey & Co with more of a focus on grilled items like eggplant, beef, chicken and vegetables. Newly renovated with updated decor, modernist art and updated bathroom. The food speaks for itself, highly recommend sharing the appetizer dishes to get a good foundation for your main course. read more

So good! Every dish was excellent, with unique flavors and beautiful presentations. The wine options were great also. The atmosphere is casual, but very nice. Our server was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful with descriptions and recommendations. read more

Out of the gate, this was easily one of the best meals I'd enjoyed in years, and while the food was terrific, the sensory ride was unforgettable, beginning with the eye candy. The dishes on our table, every last thing that landed, was a delight to look at, then smell, and then taste, and the lavoush sounded great between my teeth. Simply put, for my inexperienced tongue, the Autumn set menu (our table of four all ordered, 32 pounds per person, it was a birthday celebration) elevated everything I thought I knew about Moroccan and Middle Eastern food. An eight-item sampler of sauces, burned dips, grilled vegetables, and some of the more imaginative spicing and seasoning I'd enjoyed anywhere, provided one of those dining experiences where you start slow, stuff yourself over great conversation for an hour or so, and then enjoy basically the main course (the "grill" is a selection of meats and proteins, and veggie options, I chose the Bamya). Oh, and that sourdough! And finally they came to take leftovers away and I coveted every bite in front of me, hoarded that s*it, and ate every bite, all while recognizing that I didn't have any room in my stomach to put everything. Funny how that works. Now that I've read up a bit on restauranteurs Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, I'm quite confident this was a rarity, an opportunity to enjoy world class cuisine at a moment in time when they're still a tad under-the-radar. Go. read more

So, the food is a fun adventure of texture and taste. The staff was attentive but got off track quickly if there was a special situation. New restaurant considerations. The mezza menu is confusing. We left with a very poorly explained bill where we were charged for everything including items that looked to be included. For the sake of the tasty menu I hope they iron out the wrinkles. The cocktails were imaginative and delicious. read more

We had great expectations, but were underwhelmed. Chicken wrapped in pastry was good, but not great. Other dishes ok. Service was good, but nothing special. Not sure if I'd go back. Better to cook out of their cookbook, which is quite good. read more

Amazing. Everything was fresh, meticulously prepared. Save room for dessert! In season fogs especially memorable. One point of improvement, it would have been nice if the tables were set just a tad bit further apart. read more

I loved their food! So amazing. We were 2 people and we shared the Summer set menu. Highly recommended! read more
