Zeret Kitchen in Southwark

2nd time in my life trying Ethiopian food and boy did it not disappoint! Despite being really busy the service was fast and attentive, food was really tasty and unique - if you’re either vegan or vegetarian you’ll have a lot of options. For the meat lovers there’s a few options and all of them are good. Highly recommended!

I’ve brought so many of my friends here for dinner and the food is delicious every time. I recommend getting the vegan special for two, even if you’re not vegan. The atmosphere is very nice and calm, and the owner is lovely. This is one of the few restaurants that I suggest to friends and go to every few months. Cannot recommend it enough!

I have been lots of times to Zeret Kitchen and I have to say it never falls short of incredible. The lovely people who work there make it such an enjoyable experience and the fact that the food is some of the best I’ve had in London really makes it so memorable.I always order the vegan sharing platter and it’s always delicious, I’m not even vegan but it is hands down as good if not better than any meat dish.

Love it!! Would highly recommend. The interior is lovely and cozy. The food is amazing and halal.

This somewhat hidden restaurant could be a little hard to miss inconspicuously placed off of Camberwell Road in the commercial unit (depending where you walk from).I love Ethiopian food but am a bit unfamiliar with the names of the dishes so we ordered the house special for about £30 (£15 pp). It was an amazing choice, you get a whole injera bread with 8 different dishes and several servings on top. You break off the bread to scoop up the deliciousness, extra bread comes too. The meal was more than enough for both of us, very filling!Would have been nice to have some hand wipes or lemon water after to freshen up the hands but they do have a well kept toilet.The place is pushchair friendly as theres no problem getting into the restaurant. The 2 lovely ladies who served us were very friendly and even offered to push our son around in his pushchair while we ate. Will definitely be coming back when we move closer to the area!

I rarely give out 5 star reviews, but this one was deserving. From the very first bite I was ready to bend the knee and pledge my allegiance to the great land of Ethiopia. Words cannot describe how good this meal was. Although it was a restaurant, you can tell that the food was prepared with that homemade love and care. The flavours were married together in such perfect union that I would’ve cried tears of joy if my partner wasn’t sat opposite me.The staff were so nice and they made sure that you didn't leave until you were full, which reminded me of how my mum would make sure our stomachs were always fed. The value for money is so also hard to believe for the food that you receive. But this is also a great thing. It’s a place that doesn’t want to rip you off, but to bless you with amazing, delicious food.Honestly, i will be returning here again, and again, and again.

WONDERFUL RESTAURANT AND EXPERIENCEVery nice Ethiopian food. Menu is easy to choose from but also varied enough. Large portion, good quality and delicious flavour. A real authentic experience if you have never had ethiopian food before. The sharing zeret special for two is really nice I would definitely recommend. The owner is a really lovely woman who is so sweet. I did have to remove a star because the service was a bit slow.

This place is absolutely amazing! The food is spectacular, the place is cozy and warm and the people who run it are among the most welcoming hosts I have ever come across. I have been other times and it is my first choice for Ethiopian food. Recommend!

Amazing food and lovely owner 😍The owner is so sweet and accommodating, the food was so so delicious and well portioned and presented. I’ve been to a few Ethiopian restaurants and this has become my new favorite. Absolutely loved the food and atmosphere of this place.I would recommend the food platter to share to get a taste of a few things, I loved each dish really nothing I didn’t like.And taste the honey wine, it’s delicious!Also great vegan options, you can have the shared platter vegan or with meat.I visited with my co workers and they all loved it and we’ll definitely come again.Thank you!

Really friendly service and great food. Honestly the kind of meal that feels like it's changed me as a person- the endorphins get rushing and I feel alive. We probably demolished the whole meal in about 5 minutes and I'm usually a pretty slow eater but it was just that good.We ordered two vegan selections and the spicy bread side, which they usually make with butter but since we ordered vegan food they offered to do it with oil instead which was lovely and attentive. The selections came as a combined platter which was nicely dramatic and we were fine sharing, but I saw other tables request theirs individually so that's an option if you don't want to share.The food was phenomenal, fresh and flavourful with the softest injera that you just want to use as a pillow. Great value, too, especially the portion sizes.Planning on going again very soon(or getting takeaway!), absolutely recommend it. Do phone up and book a table in advance, we saw a good few people turned away on a Tuesday night because they were so busy.
