Ognisko Restaurant

Another excellent meal at Ognisko. I love this restaurant, very elegant relaxed ambience with friendly attentive staff. The food is hearty, very well presented and superb quality. And as for the cocktails..... imaginative list with top ingredients.

had been meaning to go there for ages as I read a good review in one of the Sunday papers. They were right. Fabulous place, great Polish food, wonderful service, beautiful room. Can't fault it. Can't wait to return.

Delicious food, excellent service, fantastic decor in a gorgeous building, surprisingly good value for money. We would definitely go again next time we're in that part of London.

we had a fabulous meal. The staff were wonderful and the food excellent

This was an extremely satisfying experience. The staff were very friendly, the surroundings were excellent and the food was exquisite. Having not experienced Polish food before, we will definitely be going back.

Good quality, nice ambiance, nice staff, and reasonably priced. Very good experience. They were also able to accommodate my request for a speedy meal. All in the party were pleased.

Service not as focussed as it should be.waited 45 mins for starter.rock sugar for espresso just totally wrong. a visit a few days before had a rude reception from the front of house blonde.this was not just eastern froideur.more an arrogant lack of grace. food is good as is winelist. Needs a more humane approach in the room.

A brilliant restaurant. We enjoyed everything we ate and drank- dumplings with chestnut and mushrooms were a particular highlight. The environment is very beautiful- so light and classic, high ceilings, white table cloths, gleaming glass wear.

Somewhere a bit different, Great service from Marta, knowledgeable, helpful and just a warm friendly person. Surroundings superb and food excellent. Great place for a pre RAH meal, may try some of the vodkas next time Thank You Ognisko.

Excellent service , distinctive menu ,very good food and lovely atmosphere

A great restaurant and warm welcome. Service perfect and the food was amazing. We have never tried a Polish cuisine before, but I would not have thought it gets any better than Ognisko. Will definitely be coming back again. This get again proves what a wonderful city London is. Traditional authentic food at the highest level from so many different countries around the world, all within zone 1 of the tube network.

Superb food and service. Ordered from the pre-theatre menu which was very good value. This restaurant is a real find and an excellent place to eat if you are visiting the Albert Hall. Loved the flavoured vodka.

Ognisko, South Kensigton's Polish restaurant, is increasingly attracting more non-Polish clientèle, but the food remains as authentic (and delicious!) as ever, although it was a shame not to see a few more traditional delicacies (like bigos for example) on the menu. The placki more than made up for this though! The ambience was beautiful and the staff very friendly and efficiency. A little on the pricey side but nevertheless a great

great polish food in a lovely setting - worth seeking out

Reserved a spot here before attending a show at the Royal Albert Hall and they smartly have idea of a 2 or 3 course theatre meal. I went with 3. The appetizer was marinated herring with some vegetables and though it is not something I will necessarily remember, it arrived quickly and welcomed me into the meal. In fact, quickly and efficiently were the operative words for my service, never, even though dining alone, did it drag out. Speaking of this, I started with an apple and ginger lemonade, which was extremely refreshing, but like many house made lemonades I likely left it sitting too long and it tasted mostly like water by the end. As a main I ordered a porkchop that came with sauerkraut and apple something, it was one of the best pork chops in ever ate and the sauerkraut held none of the sourness I somewhat fear from it. The berries in the accompanying sauce I found too contrasting, but I did not need to eat them, the porkchop did not need them for me. Ending it off I had a ptys, which offered a great combo of pastry and cream without being too sweet. A very enjoyable meal.

Not the most lovingly service but very efficient and the food is just absolutely wonderful. Very nice, stylish location with a lot of character.

Wonderful location near the NHM so you're able to combine with the Friday late night exhibition (Wildlife photographer at the moment). Ognisko has a glamorous olden days' feel, but is actually a very warm and friendly place. The bar is great and serves Polish vodka cocktails and the food is traditional Polish, which if you've not tried is fabulous....really tasty with some unusual flavours. We got lucky and picked the recent warm Halloween night so were able to sit outside for a friend's birthday. Really worth a visit any time of year though!

A lovely restaurant with friendly staff and an intriguing and delicious menu. Really enjoyed our meal and the location was ideal being so close to the Royal Albert Hall and South Kensington Tube. Hoping to be able to visit again the next time we're in London.

Excellent good and great location. Will visit again soon .

my wife and i went here for our wedding anniversary it was great if you like an authentic polish dining experience

Excellent Polish restaurant in very elegant location. Food was amazing. Varity of bread to start with, delicious starters and excellent mains. We had the goose leg and pork shank, really big portions and excellent quality. Wanted to try the dessert but were too full. Service was a bit slow and could be more friendly especially as the place was half empty on a Friday night. But otherwise great experience and will go again.

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Can't wait to go back with friends and family Excellent food....fantastic service...beautiful surroundings.... A must try xx

My boyfriend and I went out to dinner at Ognisko Restaurant before heading over to a concert at the nearby Royal Albert Hall. I arrived early and had a cocktail in the bar area, delicious Rhubarb Punch, while taking in the beautiful surroundings. The interior is grand and very beautifully maintained. All of the staff on the day were Polish and very friendly and approachable. The food was fantastic and I think really good value for money. We've had some starters to share, including pickled herring, pork crackling and a selection of meats. For main course I had a roast goose leg while my boyfriend had a honey and pomegranate glazed pork shank. Both well lush! (I tasted both!) The skin on the goose leg for perfectly golden and crispy and the meat was pretty much falling off the bone! The pork shank was pretty much melting in the mouth! The wine was also lovely although I wouldn't mind seeing some Polish wines on the menu. The only downside I could find is that the interior is extremely dark, it's hard to properly see what you're eating! Also, the toilets could do with being better signposted as it's quite easy to get lost. Overall the experience was really positive. Even though it was Monday night the place was buzzing and had a really nice atmosphere. While not the cheapest, we are already looking for an excuse to come back!

Very nice, convivial lunch. Thanks you. ognisko. I shall be returning.

Very pleasant atmosphere, not rushed or hurried. Ideally placed for the university graduation ceremony

Nice friendly staff in a nice atmosphere ... food was top notch and well presented. Nice pre-concert experience - perfect for couples. Would highly recommend.

We had an exceptional time, the staff were warm and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. There was an incredible atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely be returning.

Great Service, good food and a really lovely ambiance. Perfect

Poor food which was rather cold with rather bored service with no glimmer of a smile or making you feel welcome. I think the staff had had enough for the day. Nobody seemed to take any pride in their work. I think they are out of their depth considering the number of good restaurants locally

5 of us. Ordered a mix of set menu and a la carte. Everything arrived together and was delicious indeed. Honey ham shank was amazing, so was the creme brûlée. We had 2 bottles of one of their cheapest wines, and found it to be most acceptable. Decor is lush, service friendly and unobtrusive, good value. Nice bar, as well

Great food, very nice ambience, good choice of Polish beers, food service was a bit slow but didn't spoil our visit.

We stopped at Ognisko for a quick dinner before an event at the Albert Hall. We barely had an hour but still managed to have 3 courses. The waitress kept an eye on us and made sure we would not be late. The food was delicious, portions generous and the setting was beautiful. It is a shame we were in a rush. I will definitely go back to Ognisko and this time try the à la carte menu.

This resturant is a real delight. I met a colleague from Amsterdam there. The food was a treat, the service was excellent and the desserts were very nice The wine list is not superb, but still quite good.

Interesting food. Good surroundings and atmosphere. Attentive service. Excellent value with the Taste Card.

A very elegant and professional restaurant. Food is decent, service exceptional, bar lovely (try the horseradish vodka) and the cost very reasonable. Enough vegetarian options.

the evening was a great success ,the service was friendly and effective while the food was a delight except for the slightly tough venison which was not cooked long enough.

The food, staff and atmosphere were all excellent. Staff friendly and attentive. If you want to try something different then Polish food makes an interesting change. A very good location if you wish to dine before attending an event at the Albert Hall. Would dine there again.

An excellent gem of a restaurant in the heart of London. Pretty decor, efficient staff and exquisite food. Highly recommended.

Service was great, food delicious and reservation easy. I will come back.

The venue and the food were simply outstanding. Great service at great price. Will be back again very soon as both my partner and I truly enjoyed our evening there.
