Tucked away near Borough Market, OMA dishes up stylish Greek fare in a moody setting that feels as exclusive as a tech mogul's island getaway.
"Eating at Oma will make you feel cool. You arrive at the Greek spot through Agora—its wilder and louder downstairs sibling—and are whisked up stone steps, like a VIP, past people who are desperately waiting for a seat. The moody, dark dining room is filled with people who look like they own art galleries and wardrobes full of Loewe. Some of the best things here—the excellent açma verde, a pillowy bagel-like bread ring, the silky spreads, and charred skewers—require getting stuck in and eating with your hands. Because even though Oma is sleek, it doesn’t stand on ceremony." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"Picture this. It’s your birthday toast. You’re holding a glass of pét-nat rosé from Thessaly in one hand and a shining dough ring of life-altering açma verde in the other. “It’s just the circle of life”, you say, London Bridge’s answer to Rupi Kaur. Oma is a very cool, moody Greek spot that makes you very cool by association, and has best-in-class dips, gooey spanakopita gratin, and other sophisticated takes on classics will keep things feeling fun and holiday-adjacent.

"Paying a visit to Borough Market feels like an essential when you’re visiting London, but instead of queuing with nano-influencers for a chocolate-covered strawberry during the day, go to Oma for dinner instead. The stylish Greek restaurant, along with its walk-in sibling Agora, suits a sophisticated dinner of current affairs and crudo, as much as it does an evening cheersing Negronis and mopping up luscious babaghanoush. Almost everything at this restaurant—part indoor terrace, part supervillain’s hideout—is made for sharing. The breads baked in-house, from açma verde to laffa, are essential." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"To get to this Greek spot in London Bridge, you’ll arrive through Agora—its walk-in only sibling—and be whisked up stone steps like a VIP. They’ll recommend a glass of something from Thessaly with confidence, while you take in the moody dining room that looks like it might be found on a tech billionaire’s private island. Breads like the incredible açma verde are immediately ripped and dipped by everyone at the table—as they should. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"On the fringes of Borough Market, on the upper floor of a rather oddly shaped building, you will find some of the best Greek cooking in London. OMA is the spot that the capital’s Hellenic food enthusiasts have been crying out for, with a kitchen team who demonstrate immense skill across an extensive range of dishes. The menu of sharing plates – seven to share between two is about right – include breads, spreads, skewers and crudo, alongside a brilliant red prawn 'giouvetsi' with a creamy orzo base and intense shellfish flavour. Service is smooth and informative, while the pacing is spot on." - Michelin Inspector
