The food was amazing as always but the service was unusually a bit all over the place. We had to keep explaining orders over and over again and although the staff were all absolutely lovely it just seemed very chaotic last night.

We were going to an event at the Royal Albert Hall so just googled where to eat near there. Am so happy we opted for here as neither of us had eaten Polish cuisine before and we were not disappointed. We ate at the back of the restaurant in the marquee and it was lovely. I had the wild mushroom dumplings as a starter and have to say it was the nicest thing I've eaten in a very long time!

We just love Ognisko, the ambiance, the staff, the food, and today’s discovery, which we haven’t tried before, the cocktails! A lovely lunch for my wife’s birthday with friends, nothing could have been better. Thank you.

My partner had the set lunch, which was very good. I chose from the a la carte. Special mention goes to the golabki, which i don't remember seeing on the menu before. It was fab-U-lous, even better than my mother-in-law's version.
