    Gluten free butternut and pulled pork brunch
    Joanne B.

    If your a walk in there is quite a wait but is worth it. They have a creative menu but it has limited gluten free options and staff didn't seem adiment on diatary needs which is not usal for London which is not reassuring. The interior is Lush it has won multiple awards and the staff can tell you all about it. The toilets were out of loo paper which could have been awequed for someone who does not check. But staff were very apologetic and got right on that problem.

    If you swing by for dinner, order the ZFC, roasted cauliflower, and aubergine shawarma! So many different flavors and textures in those dishes. One of my friends really enjoyed the octopus as well, but I didn't think it paired well with the potatoes. Lamb chops were basic.

    Nicely located Israeli restaurant in the Kingly Court yard, in Carnaby Street. Visited for brunch - arrive early to secure your space. Nice food but overly spicy and saucy for my taste. Not typical brunch dishes!

    Shakshuka, the best plate we had

    The shashuka with halluomi (cheese) was absolutely amazing, it had an incredible tomato sauce with yogurt and eggs. The Jerusalem plate was nice because you could try a little bit of everything but after the shakshuka it was not even as close as good. The service here was absolutely amazing, I really liked the environment and at 3:30 when we went there were no lines and there was plenty of space. I really recommend going here to try new flavors and also walk around the area which is also really nice.

    The Good Egg turned out to actually be the very, very average egg. I was quite excited to try this new Soho branch of the Stoke Newington favorite, particularly given my Montreal roots, however, despite some tasty dishes, I have no urge to return anytime soon. Similar to other reviews I'd noted on the Internet, the service and general restaurant operations were atrocious - Our main waitress seemed incompetent, barely uttering words to us as we sat down and when we requested the bill (we had to follow up to actually get it). Luckily there were a few other servers around who we could flag down and who seemed a little more with it. She did manage to tell us that they were out of approximately one quarter of the menu items, despite it only being 12:00pm and they'd only been open for 3 hours. The wait between ordering your meal and the meal being delivered was extremely long, and lengthened further by the fact that a) my eggs weren't ready with the meal (the "Jerusalem Breakfast" combo) and delivered late, again only after asking about them a second time, and b) the breakfast combo mentioned above can with one measly mini pita, despite essentially being made up of 4 sauces and spreads - not nearly enough pita to accommodate and try all of them, nor did they provide spoons in case you'd assume you slurp them up with one. Most of the sauces and spreads were quite tasty, but we had to order 2 extra mini pitas, and ask for them twice again, and they still had the gumption to charge us for them. My girlfriends Hanukkah Brisket Hash was better, with quite tasty brisket, albeit a bit dry there was a good quantity of it - only issues with that dish was that the egg was overcooked, so there was no runny yolk to help moisten the rest of the dish. The babka is definitely great, and was delivered quickly. Unless The Good Egg Soho gets their act together and more on point, I'd recommend stopping in to grab a babka to go, rather than spending your cash sitting down.

    Tasty Middle Eastern inspired food. Filled with flavors. Not your typical Breakfast/Brunch offerings but a flavorful alternative. In-house baked goods like Babka, pastries, and bagels. Restaurant is spacious, with lovely interiors, airy and good location in Kingly Court courtyard. Service is on the slower end but staff are friendly.

    Berenjak - House rice

    My friends absolutely love Berenjak, so of course I had to see why they rave so much about it…read more Definitely make a reservation, because you will not have much luck if you are trying to walk in. Unfortunately, it seems like all the reservations are for counter seating. It was fine though, since we were able to watch them grill all the kababs in their coal-fired grill! Kept it straightforward and ordered the Feast Menu, which is £55 pp. Comes with two types of bread in Taftoon and Sangak, four starters (Mirza Ghasemi, Mast O Khiar, Hummus, and Black Truffle Olivieh), two kababs (we chose the Koobideh Kebab and Jujeh Kebab), and three sides (Shirazi, Torshi Phel Phel, and House Rice). I've never had Persian cuisine on this level as all the dishes were very unique. Even the hummus tasted like hummus I've never had before. I would say that the Jujeh Kebab took me by surprise because I don't expect white meat chicken to be very good, but this was genuinely great! Service was fine, although nothing to rave about. We were handed our bread and starters pretty quickly, but the kebabs took 25 minutes for us to get. I don't know if that was an intentional decision to space out the starters from the kababs. Since we could see that they were cranking out many kababs, maybe that was an intentional decision. I don't know. Ambience is fine. Hard to feel the ambience when we were sitting at the counter rather than an actual table. Overall, I can see why my friends love Berenjak, because everything was absolutely delicious! Worth the visit.

    Stunning meal! Went in a party of 8 and so we got "the feast". It was a feast, indeed. Came out in…read more2 big sharing courses. First we had bread and dips and the flavors here were outstanding. It was very hard to stop myself from eating to bursting in this course, just knowing the main was still to come. Every dip was so good, but my favorite might have been the hummus. Unlike any other hummus I've ever tried - much thicker, really highlighting the chickpea with other nutty bits and seeds mixed in. For the main, we each chose one kebab per person, and since we had so many of us, we really had coverage of every single one they had to offer. Instead of serving the one kebab ordered in front of the person, this was served on sharing platters as well, which was perfect! These were huge and we had so much meat that everybody got to try all the kebabs. So juicy, perfectly seasoned and grilled. This course was served with more bread, rice, and bright crunchy salads with enough acid to cut the fatty meat. Plus leftover dips from the first course. Overall a delightful, rowdy, elbow to elbow and heavily laden table meal! Would highlight recommend. Sounds like reservations are hard to come by and recommend booking far in advance!
