overall: everything was extremely delish & finger-licking. dishes are made for sharing & quite small, hence would recommend going in small groups. kubaneh 🍞: extremely fluffy & buttery, look at that beautiful aerated dough! i prefer to enjoy it by itself as the sauces makes it slightly soggy. white bean m’sabacha 🥚: a spin-off of hummus. love the extra beans on top that adds texture to the grainy texture of the dip. not a fan of the pickled egg though (but that’s just i personally don’t like pickled foods) zucchini tahini 🥒: another amazing dip packed full of umami flavours. to my surprise, this taste very different to the normal tahini served with kubaneh pita 🫓: as per description ‘handmade with love’. comes in 4 cute light fluffy buns. metugan bream 🐟: striking presentation of the fish literally looking at you. the texture of fish is firm (i prefer it) & since the fish is ‘standing up’, both sides are fried crispy, unlike others where the bottom side is soggy. the freshness of the green harissa balances the greasiness of the fried fish. glazed octopus 🐙: super tender juicy tentacles. love the sweet molasses coating the octopus. first time trying kohlrabi as well, texture similar to radish but has a more prominent flavour. beef tartare 🥩: layers of texture, chewiness of the beef, popping tapioca crisps, crunchy sunflower seeds. perfect balance of herbs & spices. josperised aubergine 🍆: aubergines are soft & moist inside, with a grilled exterior. the yogurt just adds an extra creamy texture but light feel. malabi 🥥: thick layer of berries couli but i can still taste the strong coconut. sumac & lemon tart 🍋: a normal lemon tart, couldnt really taste the sumac.

Fantastic food and the service is exceptional. My friend is vegan and the lady serving us made notes on the menu about all the options and what they could substitute to accommodate for her. I’ll definitely be returning!

📍@palomarsoho 🍞Kubaneh with tomato and tahini - Traditional pull-apart bread with nutty undertones. Zucchini Tahini - A nice change to my usual tahini with candied walnuts. 🍆Josperised Aubergine - Sadly I felt my aubergine had been slightly over grilled but the cucumber yoghurt and cherry tomatoes made a nice topping. 🐙Glazed Octopus - Paired with Kohlrabi (German turnip). I’m unable to comment on the following as I’m not a fan of this fish. ⭐️Google rating - 4.6 🙋🏻‍♀️My rating - 3.9 Overall pleasant experience, however, I did think the food was overpriced for what we had. It didn’t quite match the chef table experience I have previously enjoyed. Sadly, I didn’t feel much warmth from the staff either. Not worth the hype in my opinion☹️

I’m going to give an unpopular opinion and not rave about the Palomar. Not terrible, but I wasn’t swept off my feet (like at ROVI for example). One might argue that with great expectations, comes great potential to disappoint. Yes, it’s partially that. I had been to the Palomar only once before 5 years ago, and it was a magical evening, with good food, great ambiance, but mostly the excitement of having just moved to London. And so maybe that experience stuck in my memory. Then I kept hearing about it left and right, but had never managed to get a table there. So yes, my expectations were as inflated as a hot air balloon in Cappadocia. But also.. putting that aside, there was something off on the evening were I made my second visit to the restaurant, walking in after a workout class in soho. The music first off… was out of place. I wanted Mediterranean or middle eastern turns, to fit with the identify of the place and transport us in time and place, but instead some 80’s disco tunes were blasting. At a high volume. Second the food. Not bad. I would even say generally good. But there was no blockbuster, no dish that makes you close your eyes while you slowly chew each magical bite, or that makes you re-focus the conversation on it. Maybe the crab kafta played slightly that role.. but only slightly. The dips were ok. The spicy one was… spicy so we couldn’t really grasp the full flavor. The handmade pitas with love, I’m sorry to say, had nothing special. Just some pitas to use for dipping. I wanted to feel more love. Then the lemon cake was fine. A sweet treat but nothing extraordinary. The other element that played a part in the less than ideal impression is the fact that the service staff seemed distracted. Our order took a while to be captured, the cake order was forgotten, and just generally… call me emotional, but we did not feel the love.

Amazing food, wine and atmosphere. We had a very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable server and everything was delicious from start to finish - Highly recommend and will definitely be back 🍷

Had a wonderful experience at palomar. We sat on the high stools near the kitchen and could watch the chefs prepare dishes. It seems like their menu has changed from pre pandemic and I couldn't order food that was recommended here. We tried their kubaneh bread, zucchini tahini and lamb white bean m'asabcha and liked the tahini and m'asabcha a lot. For mains we ordered fattoush salad and jasperised aubergine. Fattoush salad tasted way better than what I expected and the japerised aubergine was creamy and delicious. Although I couldn't taste any aubergine in the dish. The service was excellent and the restaurant wasn't very crowdedn on Sunday at dinner time.

Very good experience at the Palomar, the concept is to take multiple starters and mains and to share it. The flavors are out of this world, you can see the chefs preparing the food in front of you. I had been to Barbary a few months ago and this was a good addition to it !

Here is one of my favourite restaurants. I can say this is the best Middle eastern restaurant in London! Absolutely loved all the dishes that I had and enjoyed the bustling atmosphere.

Really tasty food, presented beautifully. We had to sit outside because we didn't have reservation but they did have heater outside (still not enough for London but it was bearable - just make sure you eat your food quick so it doesn't get cold!). Service was great but I did find the portions were quite small especially considering it's a little pricey.
