Eli’s Restaurant - South Kensington

"Gorgeous small local restaurant, delicious hearty food and friendly and professional staff (I think they were a family). Thank you for accommodating us (family of 3 including a 2 yo) on a Saturday night and despite not having booked a table in advance! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with you. My top fave dish was the chicken liver with freshly baked pita bread. Wine choices were also fab."

"Excellent food served with excellent hospitality. Highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best if not the best in South Ken, all the dishes we had were delicious - great flavours, top quality, great portions and presentation. The rotisserie chicken was well cooked and juicy, the royal couscous a medley of delicious flavours and textures. The restaurant itself is impeccably clean, tastefully decorated and has lovely ambience. Finally the price of the food and drinks are all very reasonable and value for money especially for the neighbourhood. Wishing the owners all the very best, we will be back for sure! L"

"10/10 food, ambience, pricing Came here with my sister the other day and I can’t believe I forgot to write a review. I would recommend this place to those who love Mediterranean food. The baba ganoush was heavenly, the hot bread with the cold dip was to die for. We had other stuff that was good on its own but not that great together, however T hat was our mistake in not knowing which dishes worked together. The lady who served us was great. The restaurant was cozy and clean. Would definitely come back here again."

"Stumbled across this little gem after going to an exhibition. Lovely outside seating area with the road closed off. Really reasonable prices, especially considering the area. The rotisserie chicken was deliciously moist and the tagine was generous and fragrant. Decent, reasonably priced wine list (again, especially considering the location!!). Well go again if in the area."

"Friendly service and delicious foods! I also love the decor inside, a pleasant dining environment with relaxing jazz musics. The Hummus dip comes with warm pita breads, one white and one whole meal. The falafels were fried and seasoned perfectly. They were Super fluffy on the inside with fragrant mixed herbs/spices and crispy on the outside, yum! For the main, we decided to share a Eli’a Special couscous. This includes 1/4 rotisserie chicken, 2 pieces of lamb shoulder (medium sized), 2 spicy sauces and a variety of roasted vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, courgettes, cabbage and tomatoes. All these were served on a bed of couscous! It was truly delectable and a very generous portion! I’d highly recommend sharing this dish between two people, especially girls. Though we didn’t manage to finish this between the two of us… Overall, we had a lovely time at the restaurant. The food, service and dinning environment were all fantastic. Considering the generous food portions, I’d say their prices are fair too! I’d definitely come again when I come around the area."
