I start with the empty plate photo because pretty food pics
I start with the empty plate photo because pretty food pics are not necessary - the food speaks for itself and every bite is spectacular! Made reservations for 6:30 on a Sunday, they were graciously able to accommodate us a bit earlier. We both order two glasses of wine, a lovely Israeli white and a South African red so we could sip through each course accordingly. Don't walk...run to this place!

The Palomar was a last minute dining to decision for us, and boy are we glad we 1) were able to get a reservation, and 2) able to find this hidden gem! The restaurant is on the smaller side, and while we have only been there once, I can imagine the place is usually pretty packed as it was the night we went for dinner during our travels in London. After we were initially looking to go elsewhere for dinner but were turned away because we didn't have a reservation, we found this place and a last minute reservation (the only one left for the night; must've been a late cancellation) that we were able to slide into. So grateful we did! The server we had really made the experience. I cannot remember his name, but he was a kind gentlemen who walked us through the menu, made drink and food recommendations, and was attentive throughout our time there. The drinks list was creative and I enjoyed each of the two cocktails I tried. The food itself was incredible. I highly recommend doing what my fiancé and I did - sharing a few appetizers and small plates together, vs. the traditional order separate entrees. I will particularly call out the breads and dips our server recommended (especially the white one, which I think was a feta cheese based dip). The steak was also incrediblely flavorful and cooked to perfection. If we ever get the chance to come back, we certainly would!

We entered into a mostly empty restaurant @ 12:30; by the time we left it was hopping. 3 types of bread. The Kubaneh was too cakey, but the pita was warm, freshly baked and unique. We opted for the humus and "spicy experience". The seabass tartare was fresh and had a zing. Mackerel was savory. For dessert we opted for the Tahini tart. The friendly & helpful staff helped to select our options. The combo was fabulous. I would def return.

Absolutely brilliant!! If I lived in London, I'd be at The Palomar weekly. We enjoyed such a lovely dinner here. Everything about this place is 5 STAR. The energy is intoxicating in the best way. The vibes were spot on from the moment we stepped through the door until the second we left. High frequency bustling energy = my fav type of energy. I usually don't comment on staff appearances but this team is smokin' hot! I dare you not to notice. We didn't have a booking and stopped in a bit after 21:30 on a Thursday evening. We were seated within ten minutes. Make a booking to be safe, we just lucked out. My bestie and I both took note of the menu and loved how they listed everyone's names down the center. This spoke to us before food or drinks even hit the table. It's such a thoughtful shout out to the people who put the work in to create such a wonderful experience. We didn't sit at the kitchen bar but I can see how that would be a fun spot too, not a bad seat in the place. I had the spicy Paloma. It was so good, I could have had two! This bourbon girl also LOVES tequila. The spiced fig old fashioned was calling my name, I'll have to have it next time. We shared the Chicken Schnitzel, Kubaneh, Labneh, Hummus and Ribeye. We had ordered the carrots but somehow they didn't make it out to us, which was no problem at all. We'd just flown in from France and had chicken with carrots for lunch, so we were not carrot deficient ;) We were plenty satisfied with our selections. Everything was mouth watering delish. We had a couple desserts on the house which was very sweet of them. The sorbet and ice cream sandwiches. We also shared a port, and two additional brownie bites arrived. I'd fly back to London this week just to dine at Palomar, it's that perfect. Highly recommend.

Very much enjoyed our meal here! The ambiance is very relaxing and classy and the service was very kind. The starters are decent though perhaps not the most stunning example of hummus or falafel I've had for the price; however the mains are stunning! I had the slow roasted carrots and I'll dream of them for years to come -- highly recommend trying as many of the mains as you can!

We were fortunate to get an early dinner reservation on our 2nd to last night in London. This was our favorite restaurant in our 3 week European tour. Middle Eastern small plates in lower Soho area. Kiki, our server, delightfully helped navigate us through the unfamiliar menu. Started with Kubaneh bread and two hummus dips. Sesame chicken starter, followed by fattoush salad, oyster mushroom polenta and grilled chicken. The seasonings, preparation and quality were amazing! Kiki recommended a Chablis that perfectly paired with our meal. We finished with "Jerusalem Mess" and a recommended Sauterne. Heavenly.

Terrific food with delicious sauces, spices and vegetables accompanying every dish. We were lucky to get a reservation!

This is a hidden gem in soho! It's a small restaurant that specializes in Mediterranean food- small plates smile! Their hummus and labne are super tasty and the chicken schnitzel was excellent. Also the courgettes and smashed cucumbers were excellent compliments to the main dishes. Basically - there was not a dish that I didn't love. They have great cocktails as well- the fig old fashioned being one of my faves. Make reservations early as they tend to book up but you must check this one out if you're in London!

One of the tips I got before my London trip was that I should get some Middle Eastern food here. I'm staying in Covent Garden and found Palomar in the Michelin Guide. I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and was nicely seated at the counter in front of the grill. The server recommended that I try the trio of dips (labneh, hummus and babaganush) and the kubaneh to start. The kubaneh was just amazing - it's an airy Yemeni bread that paired really well with all of the dips. I was torn between the lamb and the octopus but decided to go with octopus. It was really nice and tender and all the sauces in the plate just blended well. For dessert, I ordered the lemon and arak sorbet since it was hot and humid outside. I had the sirocco for my non-alcoholic pairing and that was great as well. This was just the perfect lunch on a vacation trip and cost £67. The counter seats at the restaurant were the best and I really enjoyed the music playing in the background. Highly recommended if you are in the area and just craving some good Middle Eastern food.

Great ambiance, friendly staff and amazing food! Book in advance and try the Persian Chicken. If you are looking for non alcoholic drinks, their mock tails are really good as well
Be the first to ReplyI have to be honest and say that I don't know anything
I have to be honest and say that I don't know anything about traditional Middle Eastern food and flavors. However, the Palomar provided me a wonderful experience of the "food of modern Jerusalem" as they suggest on their website. Being a foodie myself, I am always interested in trying new flavors, new style of food, or new cuisines. I was very impressed by the food and experience I had at the Palomar. We made the reservation in advance for their dining room. The waitress was super nice and walked us through some of their popular items on the menu. Everything on the menu is a sharable plate for the table. I love this concept since we get to try more flavors and dishes. We started the evening with the popular Kubaneh which comes with tahini and fresh tomatoes. Kubaneh is a traditional Yemenite Jewish bread, which reminds me of English popover. It's fluffy and light bread. Their tahini is delicious! It's nutty, but very smooth. We picked a few dips, Harissa Carrot and Labneh with Za'atar and roasted pistachios. Their Labneh is absolutely delicious! The roasted pistachios were perfect with the labneh and kubaneh. The Harissa Carrot was slightly spicy. This is my least favorite item because I was expecting more layers of flavor than just spicy. My favorite item of the evening was the Spiced Lamb Cutlets with Confit Garlic Yoghurt. It's mind-blowingly delicious. The lamb was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The garlic yogurt added an additional layer of flavor to the lamb. I can definitely eat the whole plate myself. Another meat dish we had was Persian Lemon Chicken. The flavor of the lemon chicken was heavier than expected, but it's tender, juicy, and delicious. We had a side of Skewered Vegetables with date glaze. The grilled cabbage was perfect with the date glaze. The grilled onion was sweet and excellent choice with the meat. To complete the evening, we tried their Sesame cream brulee. It's not exactly the traditional cream brulee, but it's better! The sesame crust was delicious with the cream underneath. Overall, I see why the Palomar holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand because of their excellent quality of food and service.
Be the first to ReplySophisticated yet accessible menu.
Try the Yemeni bread! And the hummus is to die for. Food & drink prepared behind the counter, where the majority of seating is. Most seating is barstool at countertop. If you need a regular table request in advance. Coatcheck avail for you coats & shopping as interior space is limited. Hope to return soon.

Two of us sat at the bar to watch the action and enjoy a few drinks and several dishes. Compared to other open kitchen concepts in London, like Barrafina and Padella, the food here is very good but the service less engaged. The wait staff will check in but doesn't seem passionate in the offering or as invested in whether you're actually enjoying the food. Same for the professional staff preparing the food. Good skill, less soul. I'm glad to pay well for high quality food and service - this spot has all the potential to be great but feels commodity.
Be the first to ReplyProbably our best meal that we have had London.
Every morsel from breads to the desserts were an explosion of flavor. Extremely knowledgeable staff that provided wonderful service. Highly recommended
Be the first to ReplyThe food was delicious and the service was superb.
Very happy with the meal we had here!
Be the first to ReplyThis was outstanding.
We ordered a ton for two people: m'sabacha, zucchini tahini, green olive labneh, the spicy experience, baharat bread, kubaneh bread, pitas, octopus, steak, cumin broccoli, aubergine, and then finished with the lemon tart. All the dips were great, with the zucchini tahini and spicy experience being particularly amazing, and we loved all of the breads as well. Among the sides and mains, we really loved the aubergine, and the octopus was among the very best I can remember eating. The lemon tart is pretty close to a must as well on a future visit.

Great to sit at the counter and watch the bartenders and cooks do their thing! Food is delicious!

This was a really fun spot in Soho which I would recommend if you want great middle eastern food. The Kubaneh bread and spicy experience was really nice and the Yemeni Crab main course was delicious. Overall, I would absolutely go back.
Be the first to ReplyI've been back.
And back. And back. It's always wonderful. If I go to London, I go at least once. My favorite restaurant worldwide, period.
Be the first to ReplyPalomar is a trendy and fun Israeli restaurant in hopping
Palomar is a trendy and fun Israeli restaurant in hopping Soho. The restaurant exudes the vibe of Soho itself--bustling and active, chefs shouting back and forth to one another, always a new dish coming up. The cuisine is equally refined and unique, with a precise attention to detail and modern flair.We sat at the bar, where you're directly across from the chefs while they work their magic. If you're trying to have an intimate, private conversation, this isn't the seating arrangement for you (but they do have individual tables in the back). Instead, expect eavesdropping chefs who are happy to answer questions, provide recommendations, and quip back and forth about whatever topic happens to be on the table at the moment.Food-wise, the "rip and dip" section is the most fun and delicious, so don't skimp on it. The kubaneh is a large specialty brioche, which wasn't my fave, but my friend enjoyed it. The white bean m'sabacha, though, was excellent and a must-try. The zucchini tahini looked excellent too, but we didn't try it (one of the joys and curses of watching every item get made--you see what looks great but can only eat so much yourselves!). From the mains, the beef tartare was very good. The Yemeni crab lahoh was just ok--we regret not getting the glazed octopus instead. For something green, the josperised aubergine was good, but expect a twice-baked, mushy aubergine with lots of sauce. If you want something fresh and light, get the fattoush salad instead. For desert, the surmac & lemon tart was ok but not remarkable.Overall this is a fun place to try unique new dishes and enjoy a lovely atmosphere. If the cuisine interests you, give it a go!

The food was presented very nicely and everything tasted amazing! The restaurant is a little small so you need a reservation, but it is definitely worth it!
Be the first to ReplyThis was my favorite restaurant that we visited in London.
The food bursted with robust flavor, the service was excellent, and the conversations with the staff were memorable. Now that I'm back in the states, I miss this cuisine so much and wish I could return.
