Inventive modern Middle Eastern cooking with standout breads and desserts; warm, cozy room; prices on the higher side for generous mezze-driven meals.
Honey & Co. delivers exceptional food quality anchored by superb breads, vibrant mezze, and a celebrated feta cheesecake that justifies its reputation. Attentive, knowledgeable service and a charming Bloomsbury setting create a welcoming neighborhood destination, though tight quarters when full and premium pricing prevent grade A territory.
A snug Bloomsbury spot where the room feels warm and welcoming and plates land with color and perfume. Servers often explain dishes with ease, and small touches—like a birthday candle—add thoughtful hospitality. One diner summed it up: "We left full, happy, and already plotting dessert on the next visit." The cooking leans modern Middle Eastern with produce-forward mezze, plush breads and bold condiments rather than heavy spice bombs. Think creamy hummus, bright labneh, and mains like lamb shawarma or pomegranate-glazed chicken, plus a justly famous feta and honey cheesecake. Prices run high for the category, but portions and quality usually justify the splurge. Families do fine here if kids like simple comforts: warm bread, hummus, chicken and potatoes, and gentle salads. There is no kids menu, and flavors skew herby and tangy, so very picky eaters may prefer breakfast shakshuka or sharing mezze where you can curate milder bites.
