NOPI

not very inspiring. the dishes here are nothing special, the combination of flavours quite familiar if you have eaten persian/lebanese etc before. it is also very overpriced for what you get. 3 slices of roasted aubergine with a couple of pomegranate seeds - that'll be £8.50 please. 2 (two) not very good scallops - certainly not fresh - with two reconstituted dried shitake mushrooms: a snip at £12 vegetable crudites with industrial quality guacamole sets you back a fiver. our neighbours had the fish and the chicken and were visibly unimpressed. and yes - they are still mean with the bread. the wine list is idiosyncratic but likewise twice as expensive as it should be. service was attentive and the ambience ok. but £50 per head and not a single memorable culinary moment ? hmm....

Went for breakfast this morning. Very impressed. Stylish restaurant, most attentive friendly staff I've met for a long time, lovely food at a reasonable price. I had french toast with star anise....mmmmm. Go!

Suppose to be great for vegetarians however the only vegetable option for a main dish contained rennet (usually from the abomasum of newly-born calves). As did a number of the smaller/starter dishes and everything came with crème fraîche – total crème fraîche overload! When I asked if the vegetable dishes where vegetarian the waiter confirmed they were twice, the third time I asked the chief, who confirmed as I’d suspected, they contained retina. The waiter admitted many vegetarians had enjoyed these dishes in the past – he had disappointing knowledge of the dishes and a lack of concern for the customer, although friendly and reasonably attentive. The cocktails also didn't hit the mark and need more consideration. Quirky yet overall disappointing and definitely too pricy for what it is!

I cant rate it highly enough for the inventiveness, quality and sheer deliciousness of the food. I have done dinner and breakfast there and find the portions more than ample and agree with the reviewer below - give me quality over quantity every time.... Service has always been friendly, relaxed and professional. A gem in what can often be style over substance in Soho.

I had the most EXQUISITE MEAL OF MY LIFE last night at NOPI. The attention to detail on the flavours is fantastic - truly amazing The pea and courgette fritter was sublime, the twice cooked baby chicken to die for, and the roasted aubergine nearly had me falling off my seat in sheer rapturous delight!. We had seats at the bar, so entertained and informed by the bar staff over the course of the evening, and it meant they were always 'on hand'. I can't recommend the food and cocktails highly enough, and I will be returning many times with my favourite (rich) friends. All you fat greedy pigs that want quantity over quality need to go ta an 'all you can eat buffet'.

Everything was delicious. Broad bean and pea fritters (a English-ified riff on falafel), marinated aubergine, the duck confit and a glorious take on Eton mess (who knew surmac would be so good on strawberries?) But the surprise standout, crushed potatoes with caperberries. Service was excellent.

Had the most delicious aubergine dish Ive ever eaten here last night. If you like middle eastern food with a twist, try Nopi. The pre theatre menu is great to share and really good value for the west end!

Very Unhappy! Our waiter overcharged us and lied to us about the amount paid by 2 of our party by card, all to increase his personal tip! I will not eat here again, and I urge you not to either. Appalling!

This is the second time at Nopi and both have been first class! The food is superb, the atmosphere is great and the decor very nice. I understand they have a state of the art acoustic plaster ceiling which absorbs some of the sound in the room. This certainly seemed to do the trick as the four of us were able to have a relaxing conversation whilst the restaurant retained a great atmospheric buzz. I'll definitely be back soon!

mean with the bread? well it is complementary!!! and delicious:)
