Nutshell Charing Cross

Really enjoyed my meal here, the flavours are just incredible! And the presentation of the dishes are beautiful too. Had the bread to start, which was very fresh, with tzatziki followed by the lamb and the duck. The only thing I’d say is the portion sizes are quite small, but the flavours certainly make up for that. Would visit again for sure!

Nutshell is in a great location. The decor is very nice and they have created a good atmosphere. The service is also very good. The menu is interesting - a lot of the food lacked seasoning or just flavour in general. I actually found some dishes to be quite bland - for instance the hummus. The bread is delicious. The mushroom croquettes were decent. The beetroot dish was tasty. They appear to know how to cook meat very well - the lamb was outstanding (although we both needed to add salt) - however as an overall dish it’s somewhat lacking. Without ordering a side of the chips you would be left hungry. The deserts were good. Cocktails seemed good too. Almost everything is hugely overpriced. We ordered the set menu and were told we would get all the starters (we did not) and, they offer a specific cocktail as part of the set menu however if you don’t want that specific drink they are not able offer a different drink as part of the deal. Overall an interesting place to go once - I won’t be rushing back.

Service was great, we sat at the bar. Food so so unfortunately. Some of the dishes were great and some weren't :/. It is a very nice modern twist on traditional Persian food, very creative menu with a very nice variety. If you are a a big fan of this cuisine you need to come here. More about the food: The dumplings weren't fully prepared (You could still see the unprepared color of the dough)and the sauce was a bit too sweet and not thick enough. The beef was great! Same for bread and sambusak.
