Olea Social

November 14, 2025

My friend and I needed a proper girls catch up, and what could possibly top a Sunday lunch? As usual, we went hunting for a new spot on First Table and the lovely pictures of Olea Social practically begged us to book. It was a warm and bright day, so we settled outside, feeling quite pleased with ourselves. We ordered a few plates to share and a main each, all helped along by a couple of wines and mocktails. The prawns with mushrooms were genuinely delicious, and the sausage with hummus and focaccia did not last long on the table. My friend chose the lamb kofta while I went for the chicken tajine, which turned out wonderfully tender and full of flavour. To round things off, we bravely tackled a chocolate fondant which, in theory, should have melted beautifully. In reality, it seemed to have had a long and reflective moment in the oven, so no dramatic chocolate river for us. Even so, we had a lovely lunch. No rushing, no fuss, and despite being right in the heart of London, the outdoor seating felt surprisingly calm. Absolutely worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant perfect for a pre-theatre feast! Excellent range of Middle Eastern dishes - including plenty of options for vegetarian customers. The food itself was absolutely delicious - the meat was incredibly tender and had a beautiful flavour. Was impressed by all the food I ate - the lamb liver (which was a first try for me) was absolutely delicious, the seafood pasta was sweet and flavoursome, with a generous selection of prawn and crab, and the baklava - although i was very full by then - was fantastic! The staff were extremely accommodating, both with halal food and with a nut allergen. I also noticed that they have a separate menu for gluten free customers, amongst other things. Food and drink arrived within good time and the interiors was also stunning! Would absolutely recommend and return!

This was my first time dining at Olea Social, the team were very attentive and the food was delicious. The Hummus to start is so rich and perfect to pair with a basket of freshly made breads, the mixed grill was fantastic and we had a main salad with goats cheese! Sharing a variety of Mediterranean and Turkish dishes followed by traditional desserts. My friends and I had a wonderful experience!

I had an incredible experience at Olea Social. The food was genuinely one of the most delicious in the neighbourhood—fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The whole evening was elevated even more by the restaurant team. The manager was exceptionally attentive and made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we arrived. We were even offered a complimentary baklava, which was both a lovely gesture and absolutely delicious! A special shout-out to Zehra, whose professionalism, warm attitude and thoughtful suggestions really stood out. She checked on us at the right moments and made the experience feel personal and memorable. The rest of the staff were also friendly and smiley, which tripled the joy of the evening. Highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back! 🌟

Went using the first table app, which was such a save. The food was delicious! My personal favourites were the sucuk beef sausages and the mix grill ( the lamb was so flavourful!). Went with my parents and they loved it (they are usually very picky). Definitely, would recommend!
