Ordering Strategy

The menu is designed for sharing; order as much flatbread or challah as possible to go with the dips. It is a £60-a-head experience if you do it right with wine.

What to order

Safe first

Jerusalem Mixed Grill

Described as 'deservedly lauded' and a signature street-food style pita stuffed with chicken thigh, livers, and duck hearts that provides a sensory overload.

Hungry

Ox Cheek & Hummus

Explicitly called out as one of the restaurant's signature dishes and a 'favourite' for those looking for a substantial, hearty plate.

Wildcard

Monkfish liver pâté with agrodolce date ketchup

Living up to its reputation as the 'foie gras of the sea,' this dish is noted for being rich yet impossibly moreish with a pleasant sweetness from the dates.

Wildcard

Lemon polenta cake

A 'very good dessert indeed' with soured whipped cream that critics noted was executed to a level beyond typical home-cooking skills.

What to skip

Skip
PavlovaDescribed by one major critic as 'slapdash and unloved' in contrast to the savory excellence.

Good to know

The space is small and intimate, making booking essential. There is counter seating available. The wine list focuses on low-intervention bottles.
