We love a booked table, but we also know London does not always run to plan. Trains overrun, meetings finish early, and sometimes you simply want Greek food without organising a party. Nonòs Judd Street, at 112 Judd Street, five minutes from King's Cross St Pancras, keeps space for walk-ins and solo diners whenever we can. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Fitted in, even when it is busy
Sophie came with colleagues and wrote: Managed to fit us in without a booking too which was super appreciated!
(Sophie U., Google review). Leslie arrived alone to a full room: I walked in as a solo diner to a packed restaurant. Somehow, the host found me a table!
(Leslie T., Google review). We cannot promise a table every time, especially at peak dinner, but we will always try.
Tom arrived at peak lunch on a first visit to London and still found the team doing their best to seat them; he left recommending the chicken skewers and describing the room as almost like you weren't in the centre of London, but a traditional Greek Taverna.
(Tom E., Google review). On Tripadvisor, a recent guest from Paris noted Fast service even though the restaurant was full, delicious dishes. A truly good time!
(anoli, Tripadvisor review).
When we are full, Tina's advice still holds: It can get busy around dinnertime, so a reservation is a good idea
(Tina, Google review). Lunch, late afternoon and the shoulder of the evening are often kinder to walk-ins than 7:30pm on a Friday.
What works well for one
Solo orders that guests love:
-
A chicken, pork or lamb skewer with fries and salad. Katie called ours
maybe my favorite chicken skewer of all time.
(Katie H., Google review). Adam foundThe chicken skewers were incredible: juicy, perfectly seasoned
(Adam S., Google review). - Lamb chops with Greek salad, fries and pitta, dressed with lemon, oil and oregano.
- Souvlaki wraps at lunchtime (chicken, pork or halloumi, Monday to Thursday 12–5pm).
-
Mezze for one: hummus or tzatziki with pitta, plus a side of halloumi fries or Greek feta fries. Ezio wrote:
Personally, I had never tasted such a delicious hummus before.
(Ezio S., Google review). - Breakfast until noon: Hash Benedict, shakshuka with chickpeas and warm pitta, or the Nonòs Full English if you have wandered in after a train.
Be careful with the Mixed Grill Feast for 1 if you are alone and not starving. Thomas found the amount of food was enough for 3 person.
(Thomas K., Google review). A single skewer plus one dip is often the happier solo plate. One guest was also Really pleasantly surprised with the crispy homemade freshly cut chips.
(Google review).
Bar, terrace and a seat with a view of the kitchen
If the dining room is tight, ask about the bar or a pavement table. Jane liked what she could see: Compact open kitchen which looked very clean and well run.
(Jane D., Google review). Another Tripadvisor guest wrote: Could see into the kitchen which I think is always a nice extra.
(Tripadvisor review). A Greek iced coffee, a Mythos, or a single cocktail with olives is a perfectly respectable solo visit. Emma rated the pornstar martini one of the best.
(Emma H., Google review).
M. C. D. noted we are just a couple minutes walk from Euston Station
as well as King's Cross, which makes a solo supper before a northbound train very easy.
Practical notes
- We open at 8:30 every day; breakfast until 12:00, à la carte from noon.
- Sunday to Wednesday we close at 22:00; Thursday to Saturday at 23:00.
- Tables are held for a maximum of 2 hours at busy times.
- If you have allergies, tell us when you sit down. Tess noticed
the GF items are very clearly marked! The staff is very aware of allergies
(Tess R., Google review). - Groups of seven or more should use private dining and events rather than hoping for a walk-in.
Come as you are
Book when you can via our booking page, or try your luck as a walk-in. Browse the menus first if you like. Either way, we will do our best to find you a chair at 112 Judd Street, London WC1H 9NT.
