Really, delicious food. Variety of salad options as well as desserts a bit expensive but still it’s worth. Actually Ottelenghi was a French chef.
Hearty and healthy, it is no wonder that Ottolenghi has gained such a reputation, particularly amongst the infamously discerning "Notting Hill Mothers."
The fresh juices and exquisite salads are my personal favourite. In particular, the aubergine salad is like no other and truly encapsulates the unique take on Mediterranean cuisine that the restaurant strives-for. Although somewhat pricey, I assure you that the food IS worth the premium; ingredients are the best and the flavours are incredible.
Even better, for those of you who get as addicted as myself, customers are able to purchase dishes to take home. An Ottolenghi side-salad can spice-up any mundane home-cooked dish.

I took the opportunity to visit Ottolenghi when visiting Lindon as I like very much its cuisine that varies between Mediterranean and fusion. The eggplant salad was amazing. Very well seasoned and delicious. I could not stop. Recommended 👍👍👍
Came by to try the flourless chocolate cake but was tempted with the breakfast menu. Finally chose to order the scrambled eggs with salmon. The portion was so big. It came with sour cream, salad and sour dough. The doughs were very soft. Salmon was a bit salty for me but the scrambled eggs were amazing. Service was excellent (staffs were very friendly and all smiley). Lastly, the flourless chocolate cake tasted very nice!
Better for a take out than sit in. Lovely cakes, had the orange almond cake at the recommendation of one of the works. Latte was good but small. Brownie is one of the best in London, but a tad too sweet for me. No wifi. Good service
Delicious cakes, pastries and coffee! This place is quite small so you might have trouble finding a spot to eat in. But our large group were there early and the staff were so helpful and kind and managed to seat us. We were already thinking of doing take-away but it was much nicer to eat in.
The macadamia cheesecake was aaaaaamazzzzinggggg! The croissant was soft yet crispy and flakey on the outside, yum! The cinnamon pretzel was soft and delicious and it was more of a donut texture.
the 0.5 missing would be the seats. I haven't quite figured out why there couldn't be more seats.
Food was flavoursome and if you look for hot food maybe it's not the best place - but they are real good regarding my experience in london for scene.
My absolute favorite bakery/cafe in London. The selection of scrumptious pastries and croissants and cakes makes it extremely difficult to actually choose so I always walk away with more than I can eat :)
Perfect lunch place to, grab great fresh sandwiches and salads
My only comment is I wish they would take it a step further and make it a cafe with more seating
This place has some good takeaway food and took a salad, which was delectable, but a little too expensive. I tried to ask the staff how much would be sufficient for a person, and they didn't seem to have an idea, so not the best service either, as I was hungry even after I had my exorbitantly priced salad.
I had a wonderful experience at this place. The place offers delectable food and the salads are a must-have here. The the cakes were also very delicious. The service is good and the staff is extremely friendly and hospitable. I would definitely recommend this place and would surely visit again.
One of my favourite places in Chelsea - and there is fierce competition :)
This time, we were there for lunch. Sea bream was excellent, and the salads we took were divine: (1) garden peas, (3) cauliflower, (3) potatoes.
We also had coffee - the coffee is great, we were very pleased with it!
And the 2 cakes we took were a success: carrot cake, and banana-tahini cake.
Last time we were here, we came in for breakfast. My mum is still talking about the shakshuka she had there... It was that good! So highly recommended all day long!
Get a table, if you can.
I was here for dessert and coffee . I tried the raspberry cheesecake and the chocolate brownie and both are more than great , especially the raspberry cheesecake which was just perfect . The sugar and the cream are perfectly balanced I would definitely recommend it.
I had to wait for more than 45 minutes to sit outside but understandable as they were so busy.
I came again and tried the salad which was amazing. You get to choose three kinds I tried roasted potatoes and aubergine and cauliflower all were just perfect you must try them !
Went to Ottolenghi with family on a Sunday. Had to wait 30 minutes for a table. When we were seated at a table we sat with two strangers. Acceptable given the limited large tables they have, and I would rather share a table than wait another 30 minutes. The service was fine given how busy they were. The food was fantastic despite being cold/room temperature. It was cooked and at one time and it wasn't like it sat out and got cold but rather I assume the cold temperature of the food was intentional. Again the food was great just another unexpected norm. I appreciated the creativity of the food, perhaps the best I've had in London. It left me feeling clean and healthy.
I was expecting a lot better but I will be revisiting as I think I came on an off day for them.
To begin with there is no booking and it’s a very popular place so expect to queue, we were able to put our name down on a list.
There was lacking of variety in cakes available today and so we picked a lemon layer cake and a carrot and walnut cake. Simple cakes but done well, very moist. However both of these had cream cheese icing which was pretty strong, I’d expect this from a carrot cake but not a lemon drizzle!
The service is slow and the atmosphere inside is loud, busy and overall a bit chaotic.
I was also overcharged on the lemon cake (only noticed once I’d left) and thought generally the prices were too high.
I’ve had better cake elsewhere .
30 minute wait. Great food and service and we also had a delicious cheesecake which was not too heavy.
The desserts in this place are out of this world. They not only taste amazing but they look beautiful too. I ended up buying the "Vanilla and blackberry cupcake" and the "Caramel and macadamia cheesecake" and both were amazing! It is a little expensive but the taste is so worth it. Even though there was quite a queue there were enough staff that it went quickly. The only down is how small the sitting space is inside!! Would have loved to stay but no room!
Really fresh delicious salads!! Very well seasoned. For takeaway you can build your own box and pay by weight. Staff are really helpful and friendly :)
Another place I managed to visit from Ottolongi. Very cute but seats only 8. Maybe a better take away option.
Update!
Went back and had salad, sat outside as weather was perfect! The atmosphere and vibes was just so relaxing! Aubergine salad with tahini was delicious and full of flavour! Will recommend it and cant wait to go back!
I follow Ottolenghi and love his recipes so I have been wanting to visit. I was fasting so unfortunately did not dine in but I took away a slice of lemon cake. The lemon cake taste is on pointe! Full of flavour and not dry! I cant wait to go back and try more food. Inside the chelsea branch they sell also all cook books, spices, oils! Loved the store and prices good.
Went here during Chelsea Flower Show, it was good food but slow service. I suppose we were lucky to get a seat. I’d like to come back again when it isn’t so busy.
