CERU in Kensington and Chelsea

Staying in Kensington for the night and the reviews of these guys was such we had to try them; glad we did, we ordered too much which wasn’t the restaurants fault, they were lovely and let us pack it up as takeaway. Staff were lovely and friendly, homemade lemonade and beer were highlights as was the Mediterranean bread with lovely dips. Very busy so always worth booking. We will be back when next in area.

Sapori, profumi, atmosfere culinarie a cavallo tra il Medio Oriente e l’Europa Mediterranea, utilizzando e rispettando ingredienti e spezie semplici con cotture impeccabili e impiattamenti contemporanei: ottima esperienza!

We had a delicious lunch here. The homemade lemonade is a taste sensation. We had vegetarian plates to share. They were all flavoursome and freshly cooked. We highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Pare aquí antes del show. La comida era exactamente lo que queríamos. Las porciones no eran enormes dado que es un estilo de tapas, pero estábamos llenos para cuando habíamos terminado. Todo estaba lleno de sabor, fresco y caliente. El personal también era genial, y muy servicial dado que llegamos una hora tarde para nuestra reserva (cancelaciones de tren). Definitivamente volvería.

Grandes sabores en cada plato! Ensalada con pera de hinojo y naranja estaba delicioso. Bonito ambiente en el restaurante. Ciertamente volveré aquí.

This casual restaurant has a variety of dishes that satisfied us. It is a good place for a basic meal. The restaurant recommends 3-4 dishes per person but we found that 4 dishes was enough for the 2 of us.

What a lovely restaurant. Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and great service. As a local to South Ken I’m kicking myself for not finding this place sooner.

Delicious food, in particular the braised octopus and roasted baby aubergines. Warm, professional service and very interesting wine list.

Love the selection of fruit and vegetable-based dishes here. We had a lovely evening for our farewell dinner with a friend going back to New Zealand. The Georgian wine was a particular treat!

Had a wonderful dinner at Cere South Kensington last Saturday . Delicious range of food to share .interesting an unusual wines and very friendly and helpful staff .

This spot offer delicious mezze. The fadi, the spicy chicken the rabbit are some of the dishes we shared. And it was just excellent. Really tasty, Nice ambience on the shade in the pedestrian Bute street

We visited this gem of a restaurant in South Kensington on the 25th July. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The menu showcases Levantine food. I absolutely loved that the menu description of each dish was mirrored when the dishes arrived. Many, many times I’ve been seduced by restaurant menus promising so much but delivering so little when the food arrives. Every dish we ordered was delicious - lamb, chicken, squid, salads, dips. I’m sorry that we didn’t have room to sample more! It was lush to see Lebanese red wine which was lovely too. The staff were friendly & charming. Thank you to Jason & the rest of the team. You do a grand job! If you want gorgeous tasting food in a restaurant that cares about your taste buds & dining experience then this is the place to visit. Thank you for a lovely evening. Let me know if you plan to open a branch in Bath?! Debra

We love this place … I went with my friend to Bute St and because I loved it so much - I brought my husband here to Queensway- Sindu looked after us both times and is fantastic - the food is delicious and fresh and all round wonderful- highly recommend, thanks x

A friend recommended Ceru for lunch if visiting the V&A, what a good friend he turned out to be! I lunched with a friend and we ran out of superlatives about this restaurant. All of the staff were helpful and knowledgeable about the menu; we chose six dishes between the two of us, all were absolutely delicious and the octopus was beyond gorgeous. We had the Lebanese wine (interestingly the cheapest) and it admirably complemented all of our choices. When we had finished eating we had a delightful conversation with some of the staff, what a pleasure it was to talk to people who obviously love their work. We will definitely return and have already recommended Ceru to friends and family.

Coming from the Eastern Mediterranean I could not believe the chef was British. Amazing fusion of traditional Eastern Mediterranean recipes, wonderful combination of tastes and aromas. Highly recommended!
