The Portobello Organic Kitchen

Really really bad soup and calamari. The waitress was really nice. But the food was horrible we left before main course.

Very bad! Not tasty! Worst dinner in London… Vines very simple only, but price high. I don’t recommend at all!

We had a family lunch there and it was terrible. We had to wait for 1 hour to eat a really bad risotto: it was absolutely tasteless. Even The tradiciotinal Fishe and chips was like: ew!
We are not coming back!

Management was fine. Food was awful. Pasta was an overcooked, over salted mush.
Ordered carpaccio and could only make it through half of it– meat was very questionable.

Sunday delivery order… Was a little painful to place order over the phone, though the lady was friendly enough, she wasn’t that great at taking orders… Pizza, salad and chips… hmm. Order arrived within 30mins, but sadly was borderline cold and soggy. Ah well. Best to have these things in the restaurant anyways. The dipping sauce that came with the hand cut chips was banging though.

Bank holiday weekend looking for a random eatery on Notting Hill. Stumble across (in?) to this intimate restaurant with a promising menu. Caprise salad to share for starters — nice but very light on the balsamic. A nice Aussie Shiraz to sluice things away available by the carafe which was a nice surprise. I ordered the steak medium but it was really medium rare and whilst ok it wasn’t memorable. The chips were great and the prices reasonable. The owner/​manager could have been less uptight though, otherwise the service friendly and efficient.

This is a great, homey type of restaurant with healthy delicious items. We ordered a bottle of montepulciano with no apps this time though they looked great. We ordered two pizzas-​one with Parma ham and beef with chilli. Both awesome ! Another ordered a salad and quinoa delicious as well. The pasta with pancetta was the one dish I would say wasn’t worth it. Reasonable prices as well. I would come back when I’m in Notting hill for sure

This place was okay. We went here on a Saturday after exploring Portobello Market and we hastily chose one of the first restaurants we saw because we were hungry.
The salad with goats cheese, grapes, and cucumber was great with a really nice dressing. The antipasto platter was just okay. I would have expected a bit more for the price. We also ordered grilled focaccia, but it came out dry and burnt — we couldn’t even eat it.

The food is great and fresh … Ordered the organic salamon with quinoa and the Market salad both were very delicious and taste great. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxed. Even we asked for the salad and soup to come first, the request was ignored and everything came in the same time. Other than that highly recommend for an organic fresh bite while you are in portobello road market.

Very nice place to have lunch at the famous Portobello Road. Just 10£ for the lunch menu (basically pizza or pasta) with one drink. The place is nice (no wifi), the italian waiter is so nice and the food is good.

High expectations moved to dissapointment
Gnocchi was strangest I have ever tasted perhaps an attempt to be creative and live up to the organic flavour of the restaurant
Suggest they go back to the cook book and try again.

Wandered by on a Sunday, and decided to pop in for lunch, especially because Sunday roasts were offered. The experience was both terrible and great — made our orders promptly: lamb and chicken, beer and tea, and then we waited. And waited. And waited. And then the server comes up with our bill and I was like ?!
Turns out our orders were missed, and they were duly apologetic. By then, there was no more lamb and we were rather grouchy. However, on the upside, service recovery was great. I had to go with the pork belly in lieu of lamb, and the restaurant decided they would waive the cost of the second main, and get me another beer while at it. Nice gesture, but your food had better be good eh?
Verdict: better than good — the roast pork belly was melt in your mouth, and the chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One of the nicer meals I had in London indeed, if I could overlook the fiasco of the meal order mix up. While it was just us whose orders were goofed, other patrons also had to undergo a long waiting time as well, of 30 minutes and above. Yes, the restaurant was packed to its gills but surely there has to be a way around this.

Ein lauer Sommerabend in London auf der schönen Portobello Road und dann mit der anderen Hälfte einen Tisch vor dem Organic Kitchen bekommen, herrlich. Speisekarte ist übersichtlich, aber das macht nichts. Ich hatte eine köstliche Tomatensuppe, ein fantastisches Dessert, leider waren die Nudeln etwas verkocht, dafür war aber alles frisch. Preislich stimmt hier auch alles, Service ist sehr gut und man kann natürlich so herrlich Leute gucken, wie den Jungen, der sich erst mal bis auf die Boxershorts auszog. Thats Entertainment.

Note: I didn’t realize there was already a restaurant review started here, so I created another one that’s just called Portobello Organic Kitchen without the «The» in front.
We stumbled upon this restaurant during our visit to Notthinghill area in London. We weren’t necessarily even looking for an Italian place, but this restaurant caught our eye. It was late in the afternoon and it was fairly empty at 4:30PM and we decided we needed a rest and some food.
Very friendly service and the pizzas. Wow. Thin crust Italian style pizza with great ingredients. We ordered:
Mushroom — chestnut mushrooms, mozzarella, truffle oil, parmesan
Salsiccia — spicy sausage, mozzarella
Salad with walnut dressing
One of the best pizzas we’ve had and the server was not lying about the mushroom pizza. It was extremely good [as was the salsiccia]. The truffle oil really made the pizza. The salsiccia was really good as well and when you bite into the sausage, you get this burst of spiciness that fills your mouth. Wonderful.
Next time we’re in London and in Notthinghill, we’ll be sure to visit this place again. Great find along a great neighborhood that has many things to offer!
