Delicious and beautifully presented dishes. Small portions and expensive but a lovely experience. We did not book and were manged to be seated at the bar. Highly recommend the fennel and aubergine dishes.
Good wine by the glass!

My partner and I recently enjoyed a phenomenal lunch at Ottolenghi Spitalfields, and it was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Despite not having a booking, the staff were fantastic, making us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. Their warm hospitality set the tone for a wonderful dining experience.

We shared four salads from the lunch menu: the roasted aubergine with coconut tahini, the char-grilled broccoli with chili and garlic, the butter bean mash with roasted peppers and fennel seeds, and the roasted sweet potatoes with labneh and harissa. Each dish was bursting with fresh flavors, and the combination of textures was simply outstanding.

Despite being completely satisfied with the salads, we couldn’t resist sharing a slice of their carrot and walnut cake. It was so moist and flavorful that it felt like the perfect ending to our meal. To top it all off, the espresso we ordered was rich and delicious, a perfect complement to the cake.

Overall, the experience was exceptional, from the quality of the food to the warm and inviting atmosphere. Ottolenghi Spitalfields has quickly become one of my favorite spots in London, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Eating at Ottolenghi's is always a treat! Excellent food, delicious wine and staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
There’s no way you can pick a favourite because it is all outstanding. The details and layers of flavour were sensational. It was an all singing all dancing taste experience and it was so lovely to share everything.
Thank you for a super birthday treat.

The salads in general are good, but breads like cornbread and focaccia were a little dry when we went around 15:30. The chocolate tart with mascarpone was rich and delightful, while I found the cherry cheesecake not super special.

My wife found the salads a bit oilier than she would have liked but overall a good option if you need some vegetables and a pretty dessert selection.

Great food, and great servers. Tasty cocktails. We were there for a destination lunch, but it looked like you could drop in for a quick working-day bite too. Not too posh!
The decor looked unfinished, in maybe a deliberate industrial way. But otherwise a nice little venue. Can I just say how good the food was again?

Everything is good. The food was extremely delicious. Service was topnotch cos on the day we visited the fire alarm was triggered 3 times and caused everything in the kitchen to shut down and servers reminded us politely that some of the food will be served later than we expected. But they still managed to do everything perfectly. We were very happy overall.

Was there on Friday with my bestfriends. It was a second time and didn’t disappoint. We had a fantastic time with the help of our very warm and attentive server, Sid. He recommended well and gave us a brilliant service. Some of the dishes we chose wasn’t the best but overall we enjoyed our food especially the mushrooms in a wrap and the pork belly. Would recommend - but ask lots of questions before choosing :)

Very tasty salads where you can mix any three from the menu for a fixed price. Good example of Mediterranean kitchen. Service is slow. Reservation might be needed even for a weekday lunch.

Their to go shop worths a visit as well, just next door.
