I first heard of the natural Kitchen when my family received a wonderful food hamper as a Christmas gift. The traditional wicker hamper was packed with a great range of organic wholesome goodies. Being British,living in Singapore it was a real treat. So when in London this summer it was on our must do list. We were not disappointed! Arriving on a Saturday morning we ate a late breakfast which fortified us for the whole day. The staff were welcoming, knowledgable and the service excellent. I am planning to use their hamper service via their website for gifts to family and friends in the UK.

I was first introduced to the natural kitchen when my colleage brought their sandwiches into the office, and had been meaning to check this place out ever since. Finally got around to it this week, and was not disappointed!
Headed straight up to the cafe, and after a short wait, was seated by a very nice waiter. My flatmate and i both went for the carrot and orange juice, which was delicious, and made us feel healthier from the first sip! Foodwise, I went for a lasagne (on the specials), which was amazing….generous portion, but too good to leave any. My pal choose the thai curry, which looked equally good, so i had to try a bit. Was a little on the mild side for me, but still very nice, with lots of fresh vegetables as well as the meat.
The cafe itself was buzzing (perhaps not the best option for a quiet meal), and by the time we had finished there were more people waiting for a table, so we headed downstairs to look around the shop. In the basement there is a cosy little wine cellar, not cheap, but the bottle we got was well worth the price. In the ground floor shop, we picked up chicken kievs and salad, so left the place not only full, but sorted for dinner! Excellent!

I get weekly deliveries from the new Natural Kitchen in Kings Cross (Wicklow st) and I have to say the sandwiches and salads we get are awesome. I ask the last reviewer whether they commented to the staff about the salad? I ask because they seem to really care about what they send out. Anyway they make a really tasty sandwich made with really tasty ingredients. I have checked out their new website and I see they have a new store in New Street Square. It has a restaurant which is new but if its as good as their original place in Chelsea it’s going to be good. These guys are doing something really positive in an otherwise glum London. Keep going.

Robert,

I am one of the owners of Natural Kitchen. Just trawling through reviews and stumbled across your comments. Apologies that you had a ‘horrible’ salad. Nothing has happened I believe. Like everyone, our staff have good and bad days. With all our stores, if you have a bad dish, please feel free to approah the staff – they are always happy to take constructive criticism face to face. I am confident they would have rectified the situation. Further to this, I can assure you that none of our food is few days old, and that I will pass your comments onto the crew Monday morning.

Regards,

The new Natural Kitchen on Wicklow Street near Kings Cross is a major disappointment.

It started off brilliantly, fresh food, beautiful dishes – now its fallen to poor quality, recycled dishes. I had a horrible salad there today, fresh food doesnt taste so good when its a few days old…

What happened?

I was introduced to The Natural Kitchen through a colleague. She thought it would be a good place for lunch as I am in a low carb diet.

The salad was nicer than it looked but the price of it was a tad silly!

Readers should bear in mind that comments – unless they contain swearing or other objectionable material – are unmoderated.

Comments left by ‘individuals’, especially those not linked directly to other blogs or websites, should be taken with a degree of scepticism. This is even more crucial on comments left within a few minutes of each other that swing one way or another in complements or criticism. There are other sites and blogs that offer more comprehensive restaurant and eatery reviews and should, perhaps, be taken more seriously than the comments left here.

We here at The Foodie List have not visited this establishment and thus cannot directly comment on the negative and positive comments that people have left.

Absolutely love this place. Great for a healthy lunch, and if you want to treat yourself, they have delicious home-made cakes & muffins.
PS. Perhaps the previous reviewer woke up on the wrong side of the bed, as I find the staff fantastic.
