Why go
Solis is a practical Battersea Power Station choice when location and ease matter more than a chef-led or award-led meal. Book it for a casual lunch, group dinner, or after-work plan in Nine Elms; cross-shop Fiume, Sticks'n'Sushi, Wright Brothers Battersea, Roti King Battersea, or Dishoom if the group wants a clearer cuisine brief.
About Solis
Solis is a London dining option with opening hours that cover midday through evening on weekdays and daytime-to-evening hours at the weekend. Consider it when you want a direct London meal and the timing works for your plans.
A practical London pick when timing matters
The useful details are simple: Solis opens from 12–9:30 PM Monday to Wednesday, 12–10:30 PM Thursday and Friday, 11 AM–10:30 PM Saturday, 11 AM–8:30 PM Sunday. That makes it viable for midday plans, early dinner, or an evening meal depending on the day.
For a group comparing other named London options, Dishoom, Roti King Battersea, Fiume, Sticks'n'Sushi, Wright Brothers Battersea are natural alternatives to review before committing. Solis is a practical choice when the group has not aligned on a particular style of meal.
Choose it for convenience, not a trophy meal
The decision is less about chasing accolades and more about matching the meal to the moment. Use the opening hours and smart-casual dress code as the reliable planning details, check directly with the venue for anything more specific.
The recommendation: consider Solis when a London meal with flexible opening hours suits the plan and the group values ease over a tightly defined culinary brief. For a more deliberate London restaurant search, compare it against the full London restaurants guide; if the night extends beyond dinner, the wider decision set is better handled through the London bars guide, London hotels guide, or London experiences guide.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Solis sits on the first floor of Battersea Power Station and leans into the building's retained industrial details to establish a considered, wine-led dining room. The turbine halls and large-scale architecture give the space an industrial-meets-refined character, while the deliberate design vocabulary keeps the room feeling measured rather than theatrical. The emphasis on a cellar-first programme signals a sophisticated, elegant intent: the wine list is not an afterthought but the organising principle. The result reads as a premium, design-forward destination that privileges provenance and curation over flash, making the atmosphere quietly authoritative and distinct from smaller neighbourhood sites.
Best For
Solis suits occasions where the wine programme matters as much as the food: special evenings, date nights and business dinners that call for a premium register. Its positioning inside the Power Station and the explicit comparison to London's fine-dining tier make it a natural choice when you want a considered, elevated experience rather than a casual meal. The first-floor placement and scale favor intimate conversations and bottle-focused service, so groups seeking a wine-forward tasting or a formal dinner find the setting particularly appropriate. It reads as a place for celebration and intentional dining.
Ordering Tips
Given Solis's wine-first argument, lean into the cellar when ordering: explore the list and consider sommelier-led pairings to make the most of the programme. On the food side, the kitchen's principal dishes—such as grilled spatchcock chicken and the flat-iron steak—pair naturally with thoughtful reds and fuller-bodied whites from a curated list. Treat the meal as a dialogue between kitchen and cellar: start by asking for orientation on the wine list, then match dishes to bottle suggestions rather than relying solely on by-the-glass options. Expect guidance that privileges provenance and balance.

Where to go if Solis is not the right fit
Choose Roti King Battersea when value and a clear Malay roti canai brief matter more than the Power Station setting. Choose Wright Brothers Battersea when the group wants seafood and a more obvious reason to pick the venue before sitting down.
Restaurant context
How Solis compares in Battersea and London
Solis is the convenience-led pick in this group: choose it when Battersea Power Station is already the plan and the group needs a flexible, easy room. Fiume is the better fit for a more clearly framed riverside Italian-style meal, while Wright Brothers Battersea is the cleaner call when seafood is the point of the booking.
For category clarity, Roti King Battersea has the sharper value signal if the table wants Malay roti canai rather than a general-purpose dinner. Dishoom is stronger for an Indian street-food brief and usually works better for guests who want a familiar, high-energy London option.
Sticks'n'Sushi is the cross-shop for groups that want sushi without committing to a formal counter experience. Solis wins on situational ease around the Power Station; the others win when the cuisine choice is already settled.
