HUMO in London

Absolutely fantastic. Great ambience. Exceptional service. *Perfect food*. Without doubt the best restaurant Ive been to in London. I especially recommend the yellowtail (pictured) and the Smoke&Leaf cocktail.

HUMO offers an exceptional dining experience with its innovative wood-fired grill concept. The dishes, featuring seasonal British ingredients with subtle Japanese influences, are cooked to perfection, delivering smoky, rich flavors. The service is impeccable knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about the craft. The ambiance is elegant yet inviting, making it perfect for special occasions or indulgent nights out. HUMO is a must-visit for fine dining enthusiasts seeking something unique in London.

Went in ready to have something bad to say and Oh my god! they shut me up. Everything is excellent and absolutely perfect. Couldnt find anything bad to say and now I find myself really appreciative of the treatment and great time they gave me. Go go go! Food : 5/5

Great place, the best I ve tried in London

Everything was excellent - the food, the service, the ambiance. A must try in London!

Amazing South American and Japanese fusion taste

Brilliant experience. Sat by the fire at the counter. Food was very good and interesting, the cocktails (from Matthias) are probably the best I ve had in the Uk. Would definitely be recommend

The service and atmosphere are excellent, but the food portions are small and overly salty, particularly for those who dont drink alcohol. Overall, the food lacks creativity in terms of the taste. the presentation of the food looks beautiful. While the concept of wood infusion is intriguing, most dishes (aside from the mains) are chopped into tiny pieces and paired with a similar cream-based sauce, resulting in a lack of variety.

It was my birthday and I booked the restaurant as a birthday treat. The food was good but the whole experience was lacking. Me and my partner decided to go for the tasting menu. Most of the dishes you are being served are to share, and they are quite small. So you are not getting an awful lot of food for your money. After just over 2hrs of dining we were told our time was up and we have to pay and leave. The whole service was rather rushed and unexceptional. No attention to detail, just one party in, one out. After my partner complained about this all at the end of the service. I was given a birthday candle, but this felt forced. None of the waiters even asked us if we wanted a digestive or coffee or tea after the meal. Just pay your £500 bill and leave. I suggest you go somewhere else if you are looking for a more unforgettable dining experience. Very disappointed, would not recommend to any of my friends.

Without a doubt the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my entire life. Flavors I didnt know existed. 10/10

Wow just wow! A must

The food and service was exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was extraordinary. Perfect combination of flavors. The atmosphere is cozy and completely aligned with the concept of fire. Also - great service. We will definitely come back. Dietary restrictions: We were able to get a dairy free menu

Impeccable service - helpful, warm and not overbearing as the stars occasionally tend to do to a place! Beautifully plated, delicious food. We went with the a la carte menu and each of the dishes across the 4 stages were so flavoursome! The cocktails, on the other hand, are underwhelming. Having got feedback, they did not charge me for mine (and changed my partners) but I do think the menu needs a revisit; as also the presentation. Overall, a great experience and will be back!

My wife and I spent Saturday evening celebrating her birthday at Humo. We are in our early 40s. The restaurant came with emphatic recommendations and we were excited to try it. The mood is neo-Japanese with low lighting, dark furnishings and a low rhythmic thump of dance music. It s cosy with a limited number of tables arranged around an open kitchen centred on the fired oven which produces the thematic smokiness of the menu. Starting with the good. The food is really very tasty, with small but imaginative mostly seafood based dishes which mix Japanese and other favours. Highlights include the yellowfish in citrus sauce, the mushroom dish, the lobster and the scallop. The sauces are often creamy with an acidic topping. The food is artistically presented and over the four course we were nicely full. Now for the bad. The service is competent but incredibly cold. The staff seem to have been programmed to regard smiling as a sign of weakness or imbecility. Accordingly they strut around the restaurant with a frown and speak to customers with casual disdain that borders on rudeness. This must be the way that they are trained and presumably they are trying to appeal to the nouveau riche Mayfair crowd who are more interested in how they are perceived rather than enjoying the moment of the evening. It s a pity because this detracts from what would otherwise be a 5 star experience. I m sure the employees are nice people at heart who have an artificial idea of what is cool and therefore appealing to customers. Please try to change this and remember that warmth, smiling and light hearted small talk can go a long way

The attention to detail is next level and food is delicious, staff/service is excellent. Therefore, a wonderful experience. Definitely visiting back to try other dishes in the menu.

The food, the experience, and the people are amazing! The chef is brilliant. We had such a memorable night. Would definitely recommend. We had the tasting menu and it was delicious. The concept is fantastic, every single element of the dishes is so well thought. We are definitely coming back.

No words, amazing food, not cheap, but absolutely worth it

Pretty spot, novel and enjoyable food - very special. Spotless service. I liked all dishes, frankly enjoyed them, and cocktails were also pretty good. Overall it s a place worth trying once, would not strike me as the place I d go over and over again - perhaps because ultimately I found it a little too formal corporate vibe , somewhat a copy paste of places like Zuma, Hakkasan, Amazonico, Los Mochis and other top of the line cool vibe London. I found it somewhat lacking soul.. said this interesting experience and would surely recommend if you don t mind the classic London top range prices at 30-40 gbp for a small dish in a sentence: good, not mind blowing.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Food, service, ambiance, value - just perfect. Can t recommend this place enough

Excellent and unique experience

I had an amazing experience at Humo, and it really feels tough to leave a four-star review because the food was spectacular. Everything smoked had this incredible depth of flavor especially the eggplant and scallop, which were absolute standouts. I definitely recommend going a la carte to share a variety of dishes with a partner, as the portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The set menu, while well-curated, felt too pricey compared to ordering individually and didn t showcase the unique smoky twist as well as the a la carte options. While most dishes were a delightful explosion of flavor, a couple of items, like the hamachi and other raw fish, felt more like excellent quality sushi rather than something with that distinctive Humo element. The lamb was very good, but again, it didn t quite deliver the wow factor I found in the scallop or eggplant. The beginner bites were phenomenal a real chef s kiss that set the bar high from the start. The ambiance and service were on point, making the overall experience wonderful. If they refined the menu just a bit more to keep that signature smokiness consistent, it would be a five-star experience!

Such a great place, beautiful presentation, and incredibly tasty dishes. I ll definitely be back!

Great somm and floor service, wonderful Spanish wine from bottom end of the list, underwhelming amuse bouches and starters, mains of trout and lamb superlative, and excellent chestnut and merangue dessert. Would change music at lunchtime.

Beef truly incredible

Came here for my boyfriends birthday. Opted for a normal table and a la carte which we were very happy with, and actually glad we didn t choose the bar as this felt much more intimate. The food was incredible, especially the lobster, mushrooms and beef. The ambience and service was also exceptional throughout, with a delightful dessert even provided for the birthday. The only thing that tainted the evening a little was at the very end of the evening. After I asked for the bill, and put my card on top of the bill in front of me, the male waiter came over with the card machine, picked my card up from in front of me and handed the machine straight to my boyfriend. A little disappointing this assumption still happens, especially at such a modern restaurant with otherwise exceptional service. Everything else was so incredible though it wasn t worth dropping a star for.

It s been opened for 2 year. Located in Mayfair, just a 5-minute walk from Oxford Circus and a few streets away from Regent Street, this small restaurant features a modern interior with an open-plan kitchen, wood-paneled walls, and soft lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It described an itself as a wood fire concept kitchen with a fusion of Asian- European . We were seated near the bar at the back of the restaurant, with a view of the kitchen. However, the table felt a bit cramped for four people. The main issue was the air vent for the open fire stove, which required a high-flow air system. On a chilly autumn day, this felt like air conditioning, so I d recommend dressing warmly. The food was exceptional from start to finish. The three amuse-bouches were a delightful introduction. The cod carpaccio was outstanding, and the second course, a pea garden dish, was equally excellent light and full of flavor. For mains, the trout was beautifully marinated, and the lamb was among the best I ve ever had perfectly pink and served with a flavorful sauce. Dessert was a creative highlight: fig ice cream with koji and chocolate, both intriguing and delicious. The service was attentive, and the wine selection complemented the meal nicely.

We had an amazing time at Humo! The quality of the food is something I never experienced before. So many different flavours and ways of cooking their ingredients. The smokiness from the different wood they use brings an interesting flavour. We had the mushroom, aubergine, scallops, trout, turbot, lamb but the best one by far was the beef! The service was amazing and staff very knowledgeable about menu and recommendations.

One of the best experiences in quite a while. The cooking in itself is a show worth watching, but the food is fantastic, the service impeccable and the service flawless. The head chef is extremely nice and watching him coordinate and cooking, plating and serving is a real pleasure. With more than one Michelin star for sure. Will be back

The service here is outstanding! Gaelle provided the best customer service I ve ever experienced professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch service and a great experience!

One of the best experiences i had in london the food was amazing and the staff are incredible we tried the whole menu i can t say anything bad about it the food literally taste amazing and the dessert is fantastic thank you chef for this lovely experience, keep in mind the portions are small

Loved it all, good, cocktails, service, atmosphere, vibe! I will be back and telling even more people I know to go.

Amazing place from a concept, through the delicious high end produce to an ambiance and super welcoming and friendly staff. Keep coming back over and over.

Fantastic experience, food is beyond incredible and the staff were attentive, kind and very welcoming from the beginning to the end. We sat on the chefs table and the chef Robbie was kind and very happy to share conversation when he wasnt serving. A big thank you to the GM Alex, Sommelier Yelba and our wonderful waitress Gintare! Will be back very soon to explore their other location, ABAJO!

Alex and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond for the service and attention to detail. The food was also exceptional. The wine/sake pairings really enhanced the food. Everything about the evening was truly one of a kind Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy intolerance and they walked me through every item on the menu. Such attention to detail and amazing level of service.

The experience is amazing!!!

nothing short of spectacular

Food is great. Lady at the reception has an attitude problem.

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant based on several recommendations from friends, and it did not disappoint. The service was exceptional, starting with our waitress, Gin, who made sure our experience was memorable. The restaurants concept is unique and creative, and I especially enjoyed the smoked dishes they were outstanding. We ll definitely be back and are excited to try their sister restaurant, Abajo, as well!

Good food, great service, the music was a bit too loud for my taste.

We had an excellent meal at Humo. One of the more memorable dining experiences we ve had, and we ve been to many one Michelin star restaurants. We sat at the chefs counter - this REALLY added to the experience, though the fire is quite warm. We ordered a la carte, the stand out dishes were the Sea Bream, scallop, turbot, and garden salad, but we loved everything we had. Great wine list as well. Would absolutely return for another experience.

Excellent experience from appetizers to dessert. Best dish: scallops.

Amazing service as always! An absolute hidden gem and a must visit!!! Took a client for lunch, and she was so impressed with Humo, she cancelled her previous dinner plans to take all her friends here instead. I will return again and again. Thank you!!

Humo is defo a great restaurant with well-executed food. However, is it worth dining there more than once? no. The staff is welcoming, and every dish we tried was well-prepared, but nothing stood out as exceptional or made me want to go back. The sommelier was particularly impressive, offering insightful recommendations and introducing us to some fantastic wines from regions we hadn t considered. Unfortunately, the desserts fell short of expectations, coming in below average. Overall, its a nice place to try once, but not a spot I d revisit.

Amazing Experience, friendly staff and the best desserts ever

Was here for a 3 course small lunch, and came out having eaten the best meal I had all year. Very inventive small courses, with some Japanese influences and the use of firewood smoke to give a subtle but wonderful twist. The interior is modern but warm and inviting. Normally I would deduct a star for the hear it everywhere lounge music that is a little bit disturbing, but the overall quality is so high that I can t.

Not only is the food excellent, it is also an incredible experience.. the smokiness makes the dishes exceptional, unlike anything you e tasted before. And maybe more importantly, the staff are adorable Food

Good evening! This restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I absolutely love the presentation of the dishes, the creativity behind each plate, the delicious food, the warm atmosphere, and the excellent service. However, I have to mention one thing that made me feel uncomfortable. One of the waiters, every time he came to our table, only looked at the person I was with, completely ignoring me. I m not sure if it was because the person accompanying me was a man, but whatever the reason, I found it disrespectful and it did bother me.

Excellent !! .. we walked in on the off chance for lunch, to be met by the very friendly & accommodating FOH, Natalie. The place is very well designed, being fitted out to a very high standard while retaining a lovely ambiance (no bling, just quality). The counter seating is comfortable and the best for overseeing the action over the embers . Every course was tasty, well executed and paired perfectly with several delicious wines chosen by the expert sommelier, Julia. Did not realize 1* Michelin when walking in, it deserves the star if not 2. (ps. Think lucky to get a seat as quiet outside due to it being bank holiday Friday, best to book in advance)

A Japanese gastronomic discovery full of balance, harmony, accuracy and delicacy. Everything was perfect, thank you.

Excellent presentations, excellent products, excellent Chef and most importantly for me: outstanding humans passionate about their craftsmanship starting from Chef, sommelier, hostess and everyone else in the kitchen. Thank you for looking after me and thanks for making me feel special during my visit. Scottish lobster was delicious with an intense sea flavour; sea bream equally delicious and beef melting in your mouth. I m coming back as it s also a non pretentious relaxed setting using prime products. Gracias Chef!

From the moment you step inside you experience the warmth from the welcome at the door to the focal point of the open wood fire. Miller Prada is an artist I was mesmerised watching him prepare each plate with love , passion and perfection. I feel we had the best seats in the house sat at the breakfast bar in front of the wood fire where every dish is made. We had the tasting menu Miller asked which I like the best I answered it was between the sea bream , the scallop with white peach or the star of the show lamb cooked to perfection he was pleased as that is half the menu. Each course was paired with the most amazing choices of wines which I wouldn t have chosen but worked perfectly with each course showing the professionalism of the sommelier. The show stopping food , exquisitely chosen wines and warm atmosphere is definitely the best restaurant I ve experienced. Enjoy and thank you x

Amazing Staff, great service, stunning food, highly recommended .

Nice food but they tried to double charge on the wine so check the bill. Definitely dodgy but so are lots of places in London

We went for lunch set menu, the taste is below mediocre but it is unique though Have to say the dessert is horrifying. Need to give one star given it is a Michelin starred restaurant.

Amazing dining experience. We ordered from the a la carte menu given my dietary needs, which they were very gracious in meeting!

Very cool concept and the food is just exceptional! We decided to choose the dishes ourselves but there s also a tasting menu for 2. We just figured we wanted to try more things. It s best if you are seated right informar of the chef because it s very cool to watch how they make the dishes. And honestly the wood firing technique just gives a very nice taste.

Dined here with a friend over from Chicago and the food and service was just perfect. We sat at the bar, which I d highly recommend. We were able to chat to the chef as he was preparing our courses. Everything we had was just amazing, the red prawn, the mushroom, lamb and beef were particular standouts.

Fantastic lunch, and very well cared for by all staff. Particularly impressed by Robbie. Thanks to the team for a very memorable experience - we will most certainly return. Excellent food and service at the counter.

Very good in general. Although some dishes were astounding others were tasteless. Service is very good but I didn t like recommending for dishes per person saying the portions are very small and its kind of not true so you end up with so much food. Barman is great and can create something off the menu. Scallops and wagyu are a must

Gorgeous dining experience with passionate chefs in the heated restaurant. This restaurant has an unconventional stove filled with different types of wood. You would feel the warmth radiating from the open kitchen in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of menu selections. We chose the tasting menu over the à la carte option for simplicity on our first visit. The fragrance of different woods emanated from every dish. It was distinct and added so much joy to the overall tasting experience. I particularly enjoyed the Garden Salad. The mix of crunchiness at the beginning and smoothness at the end made this dish feel especially fresh. The service at the restaurant was excellent and not intrusive. For example, they noticed that my partner was not fond of alcohol and made adjustments to the desserts and the concluding drinks. Overall, it is a highly recommendable restaurant and we will return to try other items on the à la carte menu.

I d have given it a 5 (because of the food and sommelier) but I disliked the service by our waitress. She didn t answer any of our questions directly and instead went on and on about some stories I felt was scripted and she had to narrate. My first Humo experience ruined.

We had a superb meal at Humo the food was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals I have had in a while. Jamie, the chef came to say hello, so we were able to tell him in person. Friendly, efficient, informed, service from Natalie and her colleagues. You must go as soon as you can get in!

Had a birthday celebration lunch and it was fabulous! Great atmosphere. Loved their yellowtail and sea bass sushimi. Scallop and lobster are good too! Recommend!!

Amazing! Incredible food, beautiful cocktails, amazing, friendly and knowledgable staff members. Wine pairing complimented all dining experience perfectly, cant recommend this venue enough! Loved all of it!

Absolutely lush x

Top notch! Great ambience and excellent dishes, possibly the best scallop dish and crema catalan in my life from a fairly large sample size :-) Its a restaurant you immediately want to go back to in order to try the other dishes on the menu.

What a night with great food prepared with fire (hence the name HUMO). From beginning to end we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner evening, with our chairs faces to the kitchen (at the bar). We had the Chefs table menu - fantastic. The combinations were awesome. Loved the scallops but actually it is too hard to say what was best. Very pleasant staff and our sommelier came with some very interesting choices. All excellent. We will come again as the Michelin star is more than worth it.

Very special birthday dinner. Had the tasting menu which was delicious. Recommend sitting at the counter as we were served by the executive chef!

My expectation was too high portion was extremely small and they did not offer any celebration service But it was good Food

I dine with my wife for dinner for two and I just wanted to mention how helpful and patient to a young lady name Huda was through our email conversations to accommodate my unusual needs and to make me feel comfortable to be able to dine at Humo. I shall be back very soon.

The food and service were impeccable! Difficult to choose a favourite dish- the scallop, lamb and artichokes are all a must. The ingredients used are of superb quality, and the cooking methods deliver intricate flavours. In addition the friendly and well-thought service made us feel welcome and well taken care of- a feeling of being at home.

Great place with great food. Velvety wood fire flavours. Loved it.

We were lucky enough to be sat at the kitchen table and opted for the tasting menu with wines. The waiting staff and sommelier were wonderful and knowledgeable and the food and wine were exceptional. The scallop was a real standout course for us. Thank you for a great evening.

Excellent restaurant overall. The service was exceptional and Gin in particular was super attentive, charming and helpful. The food was unique and very very good. Will visit again, thank you.

Our visit to Humo last night was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the host, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable evening. We opted to sit at the counter, where we were fortunate enough to be served by Chef Robbie, the nicest Scotsman you could ever meet. His passion for his craft and engaging personality made our dining experience truly special. We ended up staying at the restaurant until almost 1 am. Humo s concept of four stages of fire is brilliantly executed. We savored two dishes from each stage, including Brill, yellowtail, mushrooms, salad, lobster, turbot, and trout. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing impeccable technique and a deep understanding of flavor. The progression of dishes was perfectly paced, allowing us to fully appreciate the characteristics of each stage of fire. The entire team at Humo, from the sommelier to the waitstaff, was outstanding. Their friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail enhanced our experience. The sommelier s recommendations were spot on, complementing the dishes beautifully and adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Humo is a gem in the heart of the city, offering an unparalleled dining experience. If you re looking for a place that combines innovative cuisine with exceptional service, look no further. We can t wait to return and explore more of what Humo has to offer. Thank you, Chef Robbie and the entire Humo team, for an evening we will always remember!

It was my first time in London with my husband and he booked Humo for lunch. We had an amazing experience. Impeccable service and with exceptional dishes. Our favourites were the artichoke, scallop, lamb and lobster.

Celebrated my birthday there, it was magical! From the staff to the ambience and of course the food was another level. We had a lovely experience and Gaelle was attentive and made sure we had the best experience

Second trip to introduce friends to HUMO, after a fantastic recommendation from a friend. Another great experience all around. The sommeliers have been great both times and I appreciated how Simone worked with us to land on a really good wine. Gin s (sp?) service was gracious and added to the overall experience. Food of course is delicious - but that goes without saying! Dietary restrictions: Good gluten free menu

Best meal we have had in London, and we are foodies! The experience was unique sitting at the counter was watching artists create the most interesting, beautiful and delicious dishes! The yellowtail, the mushrooms and the artichokes, the turbo and the steak all outta this world! And the service was attentive. The cherry on top was getting to meet the charming and talented chef Miller!

Great experience!! Humo is a culinary experience through fire and flavour with attention to detail. Food was exceptional, service was great and everyone makes you feel welcomed. Great restaurant, highly recommend.

They have reduced the portion sizes to such an extent that it is, in effect, a diet restaurant. Youd be lucky to consume 700 calories from the entire set menu. For £600 including wine and service. Avoid. Overrated.

Nice japanese Michelin starred experience

The best restaurant in London - all elements were perfect, I cant wait to be back!

I guess this might be the type of experience that is a hit or miss. We had a booking at 21:15, but unfortunately we had to wait for additional 30min while standing in the corner before being moved to the bar until a table would be freed up. We were offered apologies, but nothing else. For the price, I would expect at least a waiting area (the seats at the bar were already occupied). The food itself is really good, and the staff was very attentive. They recommended one dish per section per person, so we tried to order different options to share. Theres a lot of storytelling about the ingredients, but it seems that the sole purpose is to try to make the dishes sound more special and unique than they actually are. Some of the dishes, such as the yellowtail and the scallop, do not have a unique taste compared to other cheaper restaurants. The cake dessert with ice cream was not good for me, the smoked flavour added to the ice cream combined with the grapefruit did not match. The wagyu beef was good. The highlight of the experience was the cocktails, which were customised by a very friendly bartender. This poor guy was scolded by some other staff member when we accidentally drop a glass that was behind one of the menus that he was handing over to us (even though it was not his fault). I wouldnt go back here, and do not think its good value for money given our bad waiting experience and the unremarkable dishes. Therefore, I have to give a 3-star rating.

Before Christmas I had an incredible lunch at Humo. The experience from the food to the service was exceptional. The staff were extremely attentive (but not overbearing) and went out of their way to ensure I had a 5* experience. The food was delicious (the monkfish was incredible) and head chef Robbie Jameson was a joy to watch, I particularly liked that he took the time to explain each dish to diners and the presentation was amazing. I loved the whole concept and the fact you could witness the innovative cooking methods first hand. It was a really special experience and I wouldn t hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning with friends and clients in the future

Stunning! Perfect experience cant wait to go back

We had a wonderful evening at Humo! Not only the food is definitely worth a star but also the service took great care of us. Especially Gayle was amazing! We will definitely come back to our new favorite restaurant in London:) Thank you so much

Stunning! Go, go, go! Food : 5/5

Amazing Dinner with my partner. Food was excellent with new flavours such as the interesting coffee fused with yellowtail sashimi. The lobster with spices and fennel was delicious. Hats off to the head chef and team. The sommelier was brilliant with wine suggestion and the atmosphere was buzzing but not too loud so able to speak and enjoy conversation. I loved the layout with the open fire and food assembly for all customers to see. This lived up to all expectations unlike some Michelin star restaurants. Highly recommend.

Hands down the BEST cheesecake I have ever had. The food is amazing, we got 8 Tapas plates and it was all delicious! Service was great too, it was a low-key birthday meal for 2 but the staff went above and beyond for us. Defo recommend, cant wait to go back and try more!!

Mind blowingly good: the food, the cocktails, the wine, the service, the atmosphere. Some of the best drinks and fish dishes Ive ever eaten.

Great food and atmosphere. The only drawback is the food portion is tiny, could have offered some bread to start with.

Good food but no atmosphere

Fantastic experience, very knowledgeable staff, wonderful sommelier. Special thank you to chefs, Gintare and Simone for looking after us.

We had the lunch set menu at this wood-fired restaurant in Mayfair. One of the standout dishes was the smoked and aged hamachi. The delicate flavor profile was unlike anything Ive experienced before, even as a fan of Japanese cuisine. The aging process elevated the hamachi to new heights, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a subtle, refined taste that was not at all fishy. For the main course, we opted for the lamb and the Wagyu (with a £40 supplement). Both dishes were expertly prepared and delicious in their own right. The lamb, in particular, was cooked to the perfect doneness and paired with a sauce that complemented its flavors beautifully. The Wagyu, served in a Japanese-inspired dashi broth, was also a treat for the taste buds. However, I found that the broth slightly overpowered the delicate taste of the beef and prevented enjoying a proper sear on the meat. Perhaps that s just the way it was intended. Desserts at Humo were a delightful conclusion to our meal. The intricate layers of foam, creams, and crispy elements created a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The service at Humo was top-notch, with the staff being super attentive and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that my gluten intolerance was taken into account, making me feel well taken care of throughout the meal.

Best lamb chops

As an experienced connoisseur of Londons dining scene, my visit to Humo left much to be desired. Despite its high-profile promotion, Humo failed to deliver on several fronts. Firstly, the portion sizes were disappointingly small, leaving one still hungry after a meal. While the dishes were competently executed, they lacked the wow factor expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The flavors, though well-balanced, did not rise to the occasion of the establishments reputation. Service was notably subpar, characterized by an icy demeanor that permeated the experience. The staff s coldness was palpable, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere. Disturbingly, the chefs, stationed just a meter away from where I sat at the bar, did not acknowledge the diners, maintaining a disengaged and indifferent presence. In conclusion, Humo did not meet the expectations set by its promotional promises. For those seeking a fulfilling and warm dining experience, it s best to avoid this restaurant.

It s different and brilliant!! The food is exceptional in a unique environment presented differently from most play. Take all 4 courses and go there Food

Very nice casual, but elegant restaurant. Food was delicious, wine list is quite interesting

Absolutely stellar experience, from beginning to end. Friendly, welcoming, helpful and super competent staff. Ambience is top-notch for a romantic dinner, a date night or just to have some amazing food with a couple friends. The food is simply divine, every course was a delight to taste, and the presentation was flawless. 10 out of 10, absolutely amazing!!!!

It was a special evening, it moved us. At the beginning of the evening, we were not satisfied with the seating at the counter too close to the fire and the chefs cooking, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The Chefs manages to show you up close the passion, dedication, and organization of their work while still giving you a complete sense of privacy and intimacy. The food is special, all the dishes are delicious, with perfect cooking, beautiful presentations, and perfect pairings. But whats even more special is the service, they are very attentive, friendly, and informal, it feels like being among friends. It was the day before my birthday and we hadnt made any requests but the staff prepared an extra dessert for us (with hazelnuts from Langhe, delicious) with a candle to celebrate. Thanks again

10/10 SERVICE, FOOD, ATMOSPHERE. WOW. This was my 3rd Michelin star dining experience over the month of March in London and HUMO was BY FAR the top spot. Should have 2 Michelin stars. Tasting menu is great value and super exciting.

I loved the whole experience. The ambience is warm and welcoming: love the grill and how the whole magic of the kitchen happens in front of you at the counter. Even from the tables you are able to experience it all! Service is very polite, attentive yet friendly. I lost track of the number of people working there to make your experience pleasant. Finally the food. What can I say about the food not easy to describe it. I liked it a lot. The whole concept of no electricity I find it very interesting. And the result they get with the taste mixing grill, spices and ingredients is just magic. Probably not for everyone, as I read in the comments, but for me it worked perfectly. Michelin star totally deserved. What the chef does is magic. Another note I liked about the chef is the way he was supervising and assembling every single dish that was going out of the kitchen, to make sure everything was according to standards. I will definitely go back. Special mention to the scallop would have had more, extremely good!

I came here for lunch and went off the a la carte menu. I chose: Trout & caviar / mushroom / crab / turbot. The food was all tasty. The mushroom dish was head and shoulders above the rest (although I was slightly disappointed not to get a morel on my plate whereas my friend got one). Also the trompette mushrooms on my turbot were gritty. For that reason, I gave 4 stars. The service was extremely attentive and slick and I loved the theatre of a chef working in front of a roaring fire.

Amazing experience all together, food, service, wine, all was perfect!

An excellent lunch in a relaxing environment. I recommend lunch in particular to observe the chefs at work on the open fires. Some innovative and consistently high level cooking. Not all the combinations are a complete success but are fun and different. I will certainly re-visit

We were in London just for a weekend and had Humo on my list, the same day I booked, I found out that couple of hours later they got their first Michelin star (Felicidades!) so my expectations were now even higher! We ordered A La Carte to tried more options, they recommended 2 dishes of each section (Ignite, Smoke, Flame, Embers) which was perfect, the individual portions have a great size for sharing between 2 people and the sommelier provided great wine recommendations for each one. The food overall was great, the Monkfish positively surprised me and I want to go back just to have more Scallops! The only one that didn t got me, was the crab. My only disappointment was about details that elevate your experience. I meant, the staff sent you a reminder asking for confirmation and if you are celebrating any special occasion (the usual), but this time they included a special field to add your photo and how you want to be called to welcome you. I completed all the information, including a photo, but on the day, the reception was the same as every other place, asked for your booking information, etc etc .. so I guess I was frustrated that I took the time to add my details and the restaurant didn t use it to make my experience more memorable..

Amazing quality and distinctive dishes. Japanese and Colombian influences, reminded me on the young foodie vibes in bogota. All made on open fire, roasted, grilled, smoked, charred, etc

Really nice place with a great food and service

5 stars. No additional comments

Quite exquisite, the food and service in Humo are about as good as it gets. There was a young lady maitre d working, short blonde hair, wish I had gotten her name so I could mention her, she was excellent. Her service and her explanation of the dishes was first class. Sit at the bar and watch the magic happen.

Absolutely loved the food, drinks, service and ambience... slightly surprised at the price of the steak... But overall felt it was worth it

Elegant and cozy restaurant with great firewood flavors. The service was great, one of the Chefs (Adrian) was super nice, explaining each detail of the different dishes in a very simple way. This is one of those restaurants that for sure I ll come again with friends.

My favourite place in London so far! I am so glad Humo got michelin star, well deserved! Visited this restaurant 3 times in half a year and it s been always spectacular! I love the concept, ambience and interactions if you manage to get seats by the counter. Every dish is special, prepared with meticulous detail. Seasonal menu, hence the excitement to come back each time. My favourite dishes are yellowtail and lamb so far every time it s been totally outstanding! Great wine selection with some interesting wines that cannot be found in most restaurants, but you can also get everyones top choices too. There is everything for everyone. Best staff, could not ask for anything more!

Great food with disappointing food ! As atmosphere is great will give the place another go sometime in future Food

Recently, my partner and I had the opportunity to experience the chefs table at Abajo by Humo. The evening was impressively organized, and we appreciated the manager introducing the team for the nights dinner service a nice touch that added a personal element to the dining experience. However, when it comes to the food, our feelings were mixed. While there were standout dishes that delighted our taste buds, there were also misses that left us uncertain. Unfortunately, the mixed feelings extended beyond the dining experience, as both my partner and I experienced stomachaches that lingered into the early part of the week. We cant definitively attribute it to the food from the restaurant, but it does raise some concerns about the overall dining experience.

We just had the most incredible evening at the Abajo in Humo. Tristan, Robbie, Morris and Scott were the perfect hosts. They take such pride in their work, which made our experience so unique. The food was exquisite and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the journey of the recipes. I cannot recommend enough and want to thank the team for an unforgettable night. Wishing all the best!

Food wasnt great. The flavours just didnt work for any of the dishes. Nice setting and the service was a bit robotic. Good concept with the wood fire but the food defo needs to be improved

My congratulations to the whole team and Chef Miller Prada with the first Michelin-Star! Deservedly! Keep it up!

Great food in a beautiful ambiance with top notch service!

A mixture of top-notch cuisine and gripping theatre as you watch the team preparing their mouth-watering dishes in front of you on the wood-fired grill. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly; the sommelier even gave me tips for which red Burgundies offer the best value. We told them we d be back soon when they re celebrating their second star :)

75 pounds lunch menu plus 3 beers 206 pounds and we were hungry having a late breakfast. Small smoke canape was good, yellow fin dish very good, green salad like salad from a bag, amazing sea bass and tasteless lamb. Very good desert! Atmosphere and service very good. Food is not worthy for the price

Unfortunately the food was extremely underwhelming. The mushroom dish was great but apart from that all very lacklustre.

A wonderful evening of distinct smells and tastes in a great atmosphere. The way the menu explores all things fire is a treat. The smoke course was my favorite - so well balanced! The staff were all excellent - especially the sommelier who guided us through some excellent pairings.

Good service..but bad food! Don t believe the hype! I have waited a long time to go here but a massive let down! Every dish was way too salty! And absolutely no major flavour in any dish-for the same price go to Jason Atherton pollen street social around the corner ..HUMO MASSIVE LET DOWN

cocktails drink is a lovely / service is very good and nice Food is fresh and look beautiful . ( But ** the taste is so bad ) I had no word to explain feel bad to spend 250 with this I couldn t finished my plate .. no taste at all the only taste I feel is a salty and creamy I prefer mc , mitasu around there.. better 10000% I am very disappointed, the first and last time ..

I cannot imagine a more perfect last supper for my time in London. Upon walking in the doors, I was greeted by the most inviting presence that welcomed me to sit at the Chefs counter. This immediate impression was foreshadowing of the service and dining experience that followed. Every detail is considered in such a thoughtful and sophisticated way. I challenge you to find an aspect of the restaurant that isnt beautiful, from the menu to the decor continuing through to the glasses and flatware. Your senses are piqued as you feel the heat from the fire and it sets the food up with a seemingly impossible mission; to hold its own against this back drop. Well the expertly crafted menu does just that. Each course has a bit of fire and surprise. Highlights for me were 1. the Wagyu with a dashi broth and spring onion that packed so much flavor 2. The velvety mushrooms paired with a toasted and crunchy buckwheat 3. The torched banana dessert that I had with coffee infused mezcal to create the most unique flavor blend to end the meal. I need to call out the staff again. They each went above and beyond. My meal was heightened by the chef who walked me through each dish and how fire was used in so many different ways. I connected with one of the sous chefs, Dre, whose NY accent I heard. Being a fellow Northeasterner from the states, i chatted him up a bit as well. Undoubtedly the food was superb AND I received a level of service and hospitality that I wont soon forget. My last supper in London could not have been any more perfect.

Delicious lunch

The food here was delectable! I opted for the tasting menu and was not disappointed. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and helped me pair the right wine with course. I didn t capture everything as I was too busy enjoying the experience! I intend of returning to try the Abajo tasting menu next. Food

Really great food and fantastic sommelier to help with wine pairings

Had the lunch menu. While the food is good quality, we were a bit disappointed with the dishes given all the hype - they weren t that exciting and the portions really small. We left quite hungry! The restaurant vibe was also a bit off at lunch and not too busy even on a Saturday, but maybe that was because it was lunch.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Every aspect was perfect. I began with an excellent Old Fashioned, and we sampled nearly every item on the menu, finding each dish delicious and unique. We were seated at the chefs table, which provided a unique opportunity to be near the chefs and even have a brief conversation with the head chef. Were definitely planning a return visit!

Last nights dining experience at Humo was an extraordinary journey in fine cuisine. My wife and I were captivated from the moment we entered, greeted by an ambiance that was as elegant as it was welcoming. The menu was a showcase of culinary innovation, with each dish artfully crafted to offer a symphony of flavors and textures. The chefs signature dish, in particular, was a standout, reflecting the high level of skill and creativity that Humo is renowned for. What made our experience at Humo even more exceptional was the meticulous attention to every detail. The staff were not just attentive but also knowledgeable, providing us with spot-on recommendations and insights into the perfect wine pairings. The ambiance struck a harmonious balance between modern sophistication and relaxed comfort, creating an environment that was both upscale and inviting. However, its worth noting that the portions at Humo are on the smaller side. While some might find this surprising, we found that the quality and richness of the food made each bite thoroughly satisfying and worth it. Its a reminder that great things often come in small packages, and in the case of Humo, each dish is a testament to this adage. In summary, our dinner at Humo was not merely a meal but a celebration of the art of cooking. We left with our palates delighted and our spirits lifted, eagerly anticipating our next visit. For those in search of an exceptional dining experience, Humo is a gem that shines brilliantly in the culinary landscape. The restaurant offers an exquisite testament to quality over quantity, making each dining experience both unique and memorable.

Very nice food, very nice staff and the fire vibe is super cool. Can t give a 5 star review because it s extremely overpriced: £200 each. Wines are super overpriced as well.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences in the world. Food, service, cocktails, and service were impeccable. If youre able to, sit at the counter and be prepared to be mesmerized as the chefs use their fire magic to turn out succulent bite after succulent bite. Please visit, you wont be disappointed

Astonishing dining experience by the Head Chef and his team. They are proud of what they showcase and we sat at the bar and felt a part of the prep team! We let the sommelier choose our couple of wines by the glass and the cocktails were also amazing. It s clear everyone wants you to enjoy yourself and we had a relaxing, fun and perfect dinner. Go!

Everything and everyone is fantastic!!!

Came for dinner for my wife s birthday. Vibe was decent (Saturday night), service was average - the hostess looking after us looked basically angry at the start, rude and not helpful in explaining the menu, but eventually calmed down when I asked her to take it slow and explain. The food orders are not easy to work out, especially when you have a hostess like we did at the start. We were a party of 4, no one properly explained to us how much we should order! Eventually, we just ordered one of everything and two portions of the prawns, which were very very average and very over-cooked. Anyway, I was expecting some big things given the rave reviews, but food was alright, and not sure I could actually taste or smell the wood fire in any of the dishes. Isn t that the point also? The best bit was the Beef in the main course (the Embers section). We ordered seconds, it was really good. Starters (or the sashimi essentially) were not bad at all, but not mind blowing either. The Prawns in the third section and the Monkfish in the mains, were both below par of what I would expect in a place like this. The service was a let down - restaurant waiters (and our hostess in particular) felt frazzled by what should be a regular Saturday night service for them. Had to ask for wine to be poured, we couldn t actually understand any of the explanations being given at the time of service, our hostess wasn t too pleasant, she got the bill wrong at the end, and there was just too much going on in the place. (Ostensibly they took the bill back to remove the charge for the Milk pudding we didn t like, but the bill came back more than it was before. I had to ask why this was the case and our hostess didn t bother to tell us that they had forgotten to charge us for something and that s the reason she took the bill back!). It s a good place to come with friends & family for wine and drinks and some respectable food; but I wouldn t come here expecting a mind-blowing culinary or service experience. Food is good, but not great. Has a good vibe and cool place to come for a good night out. It is an expensive place in particular given the portion sizes, but I wouldn t expect anything less for its location. But at this price point, I would expect a mostly impeccable dining experience. This isn t.

Dinner at HUMO was an amazing experience and our favorite dinner on a trip to London! All of the food and drinks were delicious - especially the tequila cocktail, salad, crab, and lamb. The portions were generous for a tasting menu and were more than enough food. You can swap out dishes within the tasting menu. I highly recommend booking seats at the counter - it is an experience to watch the kitchen team at work and see the wood fired grill concept come to life. Note it does get hot at the counter seats by the end of the night, so dress appropriately.

Absolutely fantastic. Just love it in every detail. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and service in a great restaurant. Food is really unique and well worth a visit! Food

A real shame, this restaurant has a great decor, great service and the taste of the food is great. But after ordering literally every dish on the menu we left still hungry, the portions are tiny. We ended up having to go and get some food elsewhere. Really disappointing as the flavours were great but the portions were tiny and we left disappointed after a large bill.

The food is very good, we ordered 4 courses each and left very satisfied, even if some dishes convinced us more than others. (Absolutely try the lamb) The flaw of this restaurant is that it is very noisy and ruins the atmosphere, but I still highly recommend it.

Chef miller has set the bar for open fire cooking so high I ll never touch a fire again. My expectations now are way beyond what I ll ever be able to cook. This place rocks

A great experience sat at the counter, but it is very hot very very hot. I m told the AC was down. Interesting wine list.

Absolutely delicious meal. So many restaurants now are over hyped. This one delivered the goods.

This is one of the best food experiences we ve had in London. Good value for money has great service and such a good quality of food. We had a seat close to the fire and sous chef and loved watching him and his team preparing all the food. The sommelier was attentive and suggested interesting wines that paired so well with the food. You can go wild with the wine but there are also reasonably priced wines on the menu. Can t wait to go back!

Genuinely incredible food. It s a central London restaurant for Watford prices. I loved the salmon nigiri and the pork croquettes, and the service was extremely friendly and quick. Good portion sizes, will definitely come again.

We had the chefs selection with the wine. Both were fantastic. The taste of fire was present throughout but was not overpowering. Amazing.

Good food but nothing more!!

I think I burned more calories waiting for the food than I consumed when the food arrived. Portions way too small for the price. Food is also mediocre, far better restaurants in London at a similar price point. Service was awkward.

We had 5 courses at the counter with a view of the food being prepared. The individual courses were so well balanced in terms of taste that I had goosebumps several times from the enjoyment. The service is extremely attentive from reception to farewell and corresponds to the high level of hospitality. A great evening. Hard to top. Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free food and dessert were prepared especially for my partner. We asked about it several times and made sure we got the right one

This place is out of this world. The dishes are extraordinary and the attention to details is top. Service was very good and we had the chance to meet chef Miller Prada.

Beautiful, modern space with a unique kitchen and cooking concept that is executed to perfection. Deep wine, champagne, and sake (!) list to complement the meal. We tried nearly every dish in the menu in our 3-top, and all were delicious and recommendable. The A4 beef was amazing and delicious. I would return here even though London has so much to offer!

Amazing, fresh food with a hint of fire throughout. Absolutely delicious. Book counter seats if you can, to feel like youre part of the experience!

What a wonderful experience at Humo! We sat at the chef s counter and enjoyed watching the chefs work with the fire. Standout dishes were the trout, yellowtail, cauliflower (cannot emphasize enough how good this was), and scallop. Service was friendly, as well.

Perfection all around

One of our best dining experiences in London in 2023. The food was delicious and very innovative, every single bite was great. The service was amazing, walked us through all the menu and cooking techniques in detail. The sommelier was very knowledgeable. Loved sitting in the counter seeing the chefs at work.

Order the scallops!

Flawless food, atmosphere and service, Humo surpassed every expectation.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! Posh but not pretentious :)

Amazing experience! Giacomo is the name of the chef that was at the pass last night, he was great!!! Amazing food and place. Really kind people, the sommelier amazing in the recommendations and temperature of wine served. The italian waitress (can t remember the name) was great! Super kind and focused! Really enjoyable experience at HUMO!

Disappointing, bland food. Service was friendly but it s not great to look at the backsides of waiters in training in front of the pass instead of the dishes being prepared.

Vegetarian options: Absolutely amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant. Food

i have now tried both upstairs and downstairs and I can confirm that this is one of London most unique restaurant and the prices are fair given the location. highly recommended

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the meticulous effort put into plating our food. Food and service was next level, highly recommend.

Everything fantastic

Amazing food experience. Its one of a kind, a must try for anyone who appreciate the details in every bite

Everything was fantastic. Food, service and cocktails.

We visited here for the Abajo menu along with the wine pairing and had a fantastic time. Watching how each dish is meticulously crafted is such a great experience and really enhances the enjoyment of the food. Giacomo and his chef team are laser focussed throughout the evening, but are also approachable and clearly take great enjoyment from talking you through their menu. Tristan the sommelier was very welcoming and clearly incredibly knowledgeable around the wine flight. I will refrain from posting pictures of the menu or the food but each dish is an amazing exploration of ingredients, pulled together in a way you wont have seen before. Couldnt recommend visiting anymore, having only been around for a short while its a top top dining experience.

The food was a bit mediocre, there are better restaurants in London for this price and creativity. Not the place to come back as for me. unfortunately Food

Simply exceptional. Food, atmosphere and service were all incredible. The head chef even went into the trouble of preparing one of our dishes on 3 separate plates as he realised that our party intended to share it.

Top place for a fine dining meal !!! The service, especially from the chef, was outstanding. Food was top notch. Although minor alterations to specific dishes like the prawn (concept was accurate), could elevate the flavourness to a higher standard. Also a slight increase in quantity would be ideal, especially for younger men :)

Great food, portions a bit small. Great atmosphere. Sommelier thinks a bit too much of himself.

Excellent Food and Service. Went for the Chefs Choice. Higly recommend. Wish I sat at the Bar.

This place is phenomenal. The service of the food was 5 star. Every dish was explained in detail. Every bite of food was eye rolling. Every single member of staff was engaged and superb. Millar you are a superstar! Cannot recommend enough! *****

Ridiculously small portions does not even begin to describe it. Spent 100 pounds for literal air and the flavours disappointing to say the least. Waited over 20 minutes for each dish to arrive and finished each dish in 30 seconds not because it was good but because it was 2 bites each.

The Art of Flavour Huge thanks to the Humo Team on shift during Monday s (11.12.23) lunch service, particularly Faith who greeted us so warmly, Brooklyn & Tristan for their patience in explaining Menu items and dishes, the Sommelier (we didn t catch his name- apologies!) whose passion for wines was truly compelling, the Bar crew for mixing me a bespoke creation, and of course Chefs Robbie, Ricardo, and the rest of the Grill Team for their amazing food. We had Counter Seats, which I would highly recommend in order to be mesmerised by the incredible gastronomic theatre, that nonchalantly takes place before you. The intense care, and superb detail of Chefs using tweezers to extract individual flowers, sauces painted or drop spotted onto plates, salads neatly piled and fish elegantly rolled, was akin to watching artists at play. Everything was slick, the staff were all very engaging, and the Chefs even served some of our dishes, taking a moment to clarify the flavours, before we began to enjoy them. A trip to the restrooms takes you past a glass cabinet that ages fish, which is also worth catching a look

Exceptional cooking, wine and staff. Pretty much every aspect of this restaurant - the room, the interaction, the ambience - is immaculate. And it is friendly, not up itself.

One of the best dinner Ive ever had. Amazing food, immaculate service and very warm ambience. Recommended 100%

Exquisite ingredients, the quality of the food and service are unlike anything I have ever seen. The combination of Japanese and Colombian influences makes each dish innovative, fun and tasty!

if you go try the tempura calamari its the best calamari i have had in my life. Also the lunch deal is amazing £16 for starter main and side.

What a wonderful dining experience this was from beginning to end. We were met at the entrance welcome desk by a delightful lady who was a pleasure to talk to and who could not have welcomed us more warmly. We were then given a choice of seats at the counter to choose from and we were seated opposite the famous open flame grill and a ringside view of the open kitchen and the chefs creating their culinary magic. It was an honour and most informative being able to interact and speak with the super talented yet humble Executive Chef Miller Prada and his wonderful team, who were so kind and generous, especially as they were under the pressure of service. The service team were also great, professional and warm and left us wanting for nothing. All that food was delicious and of the highest quality, especially our mains dishes of lamb and Wagyu beef. It was a beautiful touch by Exec. Chef Miller Prada, who noticed that my Girlfriend and I were sharing all our early dishes in order to be able to taste everything, so he kindly split our main dishes into two separate plates without us even asking him.to do so, even though he doubled his workload by having to plate and garnish each half dish separately. Now that is what I call intuitive service and it was so very much appreciated by us both. As we left we were once again given a warm farewell by the hostess at the door. This is without doubt the most memorable dining experience that I have had the pleasure of experiencing for a very long time and I cannot recommend it highly enough, as your highest expectations will still be exceeded.
