Quite average. Not worth the hype. Cabbage was forgettable. Ribs were tough, though the sauce was nice. Celeriac shawarma was excellent. Cod was very boring, some bits bordering on uncooked. Potatoes were worse than if you'd thrown some in the air fryer and splashed on some chili oil. Cocktail was offensively sweet. Wines we tried were disappointing. Service was a the level you'd expect from a cheaper restaurant, rushed, impersonal, clumsy. For the price, wouldn't recommend, and wouldn't go back.

The food was very tasty, you certainly pay the name but as the owner of all the cookbooks it is a must to have been to one of the restaurants, the room is beautifully designed, service was a bit abrupt, prices for drinks were quite

Absolutely to rate birthday lunch, couldn't have asked for better. Thanks!

We had the privilege of eating at Rovi last night. The service was fabulous; very friendly and knowledgeable. Started off with the Georgetown old fashioned which is made with a 12 year El Dorado rum. Fantastic! Normally I have my old fashions with bourbon, but definitely worth making an exception in this case. Andrea, the bartender, is a true mixologist.We started dinner with the MAMMOLE ARTICHOKES, and CHARRED LEEKS. Both were unique and good especially the sauces. Then we had the HOGGET RIBS which had a good layer of fat. It was rendered perfectly. It also had a nice sear and a fabulous sauce. I would highly recommend. Next we had The HAKE SARMA, very light fish that was very good. It had a chimichurri sauce on it that gave it a very nice spice, recommended as well. To finish, we had the LAKE DISTRICT BONE IN SIRLOIN (55 DAY DRY AGED). It had a very nice sauce, however, the aging really didn’t come through on the steak. It was good, but not at the level I expected for this venue. I would find something else on the menu next time.As we were leaving, they brought out a little birthday dessert. It was a caramel square that was mixed with miso, and it melted in my mouth. Very delicious. All in all, a five star experience. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Really delicious food.

Ottolenghi is possibly the most inspirational chef I've ever encountered. The food at Rovi is nothing short of amazing, every single time I visit (I've probably been there about 6 times in the past year despite living over an hour away!). The flavours are always unique and always seem to just work. I have never been disappointed, but one of my all time favourites is the Celeiac shwarma! Some of the pork dishes over the past two years have been just beyond delicious! What always surprises me though is the ability to make vegetables such a star on the menu! Beautiful dining room and always full with a buzzy typically London feel.
Everything about Rovi is nice, I loved the mackerel fish with the sprinkled crumbs. Plus the atmosphere…. Lovely.

If you rarely go out in London, but do for special occasions and want a meal that will do the occasion justice, then go to Rovi! Hands down one of the best restaurants in London.They get everything right. From the service, to the laid back and stylish design, to the ever evolving and fantastic menu.The food is spectacular, with so much time and thought going into the flavours of each dish. I LOVE all their pickling, preserving fruit and veg from each season and bringing a new life to them. I had the pickled Jerusalem artichoke and it was wonderful. Perfect bite, sweetness and acidity! The presentation is like a work of art too.I love the drinks; their cocktails are great and I will definitely be trying the mezcal espresso martini next time!Thank you again for the best meal. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it, leaving on a food high.

I was very excited to eat at this restaurant for my anniversary with my wife. The food generally was good, the service was okay (very busy) and the atmosphere was good. However, I was very let down when the main red meat, the sirloin, had sold out at 8.15pm on a Saturday night. It was the main item on the menu that I was looking forward to. Was very disappointed by this.Could have been a 4/5, but ended up being a 3/5.

Had a wonderful experience at Rovi. Staff was very attentive and we really well looked after. We had our 3 yr old son with us and felt that he was welcomed and got given a table with space for our pram next to it. Nice to know of a place in central London that's welcoming families.The food was really delicious and fresh, the concept is to share a few plates and found that the waiter suggested a perfect amount for us.Highlights were the pecorino and parsnips croquettes, the charred leeks with smoked almonds and the jerusalem mixed grill. Pavlova dessert and rhubarb rice pudding were pretty memorable too. Really tasty food cooked with love.Can't wait to come back!
