Everyone in my party had heard of Ottolenghi before, which is the last name of the chef who opened a number of eateries, of which ROVI is one. The atmosphere is beautiful, modern and inviting. You'll find a creative mix of ingredients in each dish and the small starter portions allow you to try a variety of flavors. It's lovely to go with a group of 4-6 to fully enjoy all the offerings!
Reservations seem to be important. We were graciously ushered along as we came up against our allotted reservation time, as the next party had arrived.

The food was delicious, the pictures say it all! The shawarma was my favourite and the carrots too.
The miso fudge was like caramel, maybe too many for how rich they are.
I made this reservation (noted on the booking) to celebrate the engagement to my fiancée and they didn’t acknowledge it at all which was very disappointing.

The 90 seat restaurant serves a menu with vegetables at its heart but with a fresh focus on fermentation and cooking over fire.
ROVI also features a large central bar with cocktails based on seasonal spices and house shrubs, and a dynamic low-intervention wine list from small producers. We also have some outdoor seating to enjoy ROVI in the warmer weather.

Carrots and shawarma were fantastic starters.
We found the grilled hake and whole lemon sole to be kind of underwhelming. The sole tastes like a pizza (apologies for my unrefined palate).
The miso fudge was disappointing. Eats like a caramel, was not what we were expecting either.
All in all, there's some good food here but for the price, you're better off going elsewhere.

Phenomenal food. I have tried Ottolenghi and wanted to try out his sister restaurants. Everything we ordered was delicious. It always seems like each garnish, dressing and dip is selected with so much thought and precision. We ordered the artichokes, grilled mushrooms, fritters, potatoes and a few other things. The desserts were okay in my opinion, but certainly quite unique. Wine pairings were great and the service was impeccable. Would recommend!

Intense flavours all round but it's exactly what I like.
Every dish is packed with flavour and the standouts for me were the kimchi and gruyére fritters and the Jerusalem Mixed Grill with mushroom.
All the other dishes were also delicious but the two I mentioned above were my favourites.
An amazing dining experience.

The instant I entered, I was struck by the warm yellow light of the space. Stylish and welcoming, it a fitting welcome to the dining experience. The service staff were happy to help and advise on dishes. Between the two of us, a main dish and 3 small dishes was satisfying. Dishes were beautifully presented, impeccably cooked, with lovely Asian infused flavors. It was a mouthwatering experience, I would have preferred something more subtle for the squid. The lamb was fantastic and I recommend the chocolate cookie and peach cobbler desserts. A big thank you to the team at ROVI!

The most delicious food ever! Ottolenghi's recipes never disappoint but actually eating his food in one of his restaurants is on another level! Every dish was absolutely full of flavour and texture, as always its his attention to detail that makes his food exceptional. The idea behind the menu is that you share several dishes between you which means you get to taste a bit of everything which makes it fun and interesting. I can't fault this restaurant, the staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and the food was out of this world! 10/10 - you have to try the tempura lettuce leaves which are incredible with the dip!

Great set menu for 8 at lunchtime. Service was prompt for drinks and food came out in sequence with short breaks between each course. Depending on the size of the party, the number of the dishes prepared for each plate on each course varies.
The food was excellent and there were some slight changes in the dishes relative to the menu but mostly unoticeable.
Overall a great lunch and would recommend to any pescatarians, vegetarians and maybe vegans. Meat lovers will love it here too
