EartH Kitchen in Hackney

We just been there before a show and the food was beautiful. So fresh and tasty and on top the most welcoming owner and service team. ♥️♥️♥️

Delicious food and amazing service

Lovely little place, amazing food and first class service. I would definitely recommend

Authentic Middle Eastern flavours at their finest! Every bite is rich with spices, tradition, and warmth. On top of that, the service is outstanding-friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel at home. A delicious and memorable experience!

Amazing and reasonably priced food and fantastic customer service! The staff were so accommodating when we asked to squeeze another person on to our booking — highly recommend.

Zer Kitchen is without question my favourite restaurant in London bar none. Having lived in this wonderful city for 65 years, one of things I love about London is its diversity and all-embracing inclusivity, and ZK both reflects and exemplifies that most beautifully, both in its utterly delicious food,/menu, its friendly staff, and in its customers, many of whom are regulars like me. I have eaten at ZK weekly ever since it's opening in 2021, thankfully I live locally lol. I truiy cannot recommend ZK highly enough. Go once, and I feel sure I will see you there regularly.

There are restaurants you eat at and forget, and then there are places that live in your memory long after the last bite. This was the latter — fresh food made with care, and a team that treats you like family. It’s officially on my must-visit list whenever I’m in town.

It’s rare to find a place where food, atmosphere, and people are all this good. I’ll be back!

I tried countless places during my London trip, but none left the impression this one did. Every dish was comforting and rich with flavor — like something your mum would make when you need cheering up. Add to that the incredibly kind staff, and you’ve got a new favorite I’ll keep coming back to.

Authentic, soulful food served with heart. Easily my spot in London.

The problem is the service was really brilliant, here's the big but - my wife got diarrhoea the whole night and the next morning and so did I..

A hidden gem! Every dish tastes homemade, and the warmth of the staff makes you feel truly welcome.

Great mezes and meals. Lovely service.

We have had a lovely afternoon, with such wonderful service. Very nice family owned restaurant. Highly recommend

a beautiful meal! food was super tasty and the service was 5 star. the lady that served us was very friendly and welcoming. we had 3 different meals, all of which were top quality and a great price too!

You can really taste the quality.

Whether you’re a local or visiting Dalston, Zer Middle East Kitchen offers a delightful culinary journey through the Middle East, making it a must visit destination for food enthusiasts. The menu features a diverse range of Middle Eastern cuisines, with dishes like chicken tagine and lentil dahl. Vegetarian and vegan options are well thought out, not just an afterthought. The falafel and grilled aubergine were especially delicious. Portions are generous, and prices are fair for the quality you get. It’s suitable for a casual dinner or something a bit more special, Zer is the kind of place you’ll want to return to and bring friends with you next time. Highly recommended. The food here is a real gem!

Beautiful food, a treasure of cuisines

The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was incredible. You must try the semolina cake!

Can't fault the service and atmosphere, which were good, but the serves were small and on the plain side. Also felt sick the next day.

Zer Restaurant is a true hidden gem offering authentic Middle Eastern cuisine with a modern touch. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed warmly by the staff, who were attentive without being intrusive. The food was outstanding — beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. My fab is Lavand-e Murg 👌The mezes was a fantastic start, with each dip and bite perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is cosy yet stylish, ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and service.

Outstanding authentic home made food. A great and varied menu covering a range of dishes across the Middle East, my wife from that region approved and I loved the service and atmosphere. Definitely coming again.

Amazing Food, fantastic service, lovely scenery, a menu full of tasty dishes from across the Middle East. A must TRY!

Great food, many gluten free options! They even have gluten free pita bread (I think its the ones from Bfree which are great). Fair portions and price! The aubergine, aubergine wallnut dip and halloumi were great.

Great restaurant. Excellent food and efficient unfussy service. Perfect.

The reviews did not lie. A fabulous meal. The avocado hummus was delicious and the yoghurt chicken was just as good. Highly recommended and I am going back next week!

I had the best service here last night, the server was so attentive and personable and I appreciated the honesty regarding how much to order as I was dining alone. I also had the best view of the hustle and bustle of dalston from sitting in the window seat. The lentil dall & hummus were fantastic. I was gifted a really delicious cake, spongey & sweet. 10/10 recommend.

Went there on a friends day out, food was honestly to die for, catered to vegan and the woman who served us was so genuinely lovely

A lovely restaurant thoughtfully decorated. Lots of plants and beautiful Turkish lamps. The lady who served us was intelligent and very thoughtful. The food was freshly made to order with all fresh ingredients. Even the sauce was made fresh. I will definitely be going back for the excellent conversation and very tasty fresh food.

Nothing bad to say about this restaurant, everything was perfect. Greetings from Finland.

Absolutely loved this place! We shared 3 starters and I tried the Lavand e Murghas a main. The food was super delicious and packed with rich flavours, every bite was a treat! The staff were incredibly friendly and always smiling, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back again soon!

Very fresh tasty food, amazing service.

Good atmosphere, excellent food and exceptional customer service. Great place for a family meal! Will come again. ☺️

Delicious. Can't recommend more, one of the best places on the street if you are after Turkish and middle eastern food. The bread is fresh, the meatballs were perfectly seasoned, and all the small plates were very tasty as well. Hit the spot for us, will be coming back!

Delicious food and wonderful hospitality. They very kindly offered extra bread and a semolina cake without charging. Food was fresh, beautifully presented and very flavourful. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options too

The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful! Such pretty decor too!

Delicious food, excellent service! Great vegan friendly options - especially the falafel!

Amazing food and service, what a lovely restaurant! And women owned and run. Would thoroughly recommend! Also great vegan options.

I had an amazing meal at Zer Restaurant,The Middle Eastern flavors were spot-on—delicious chicken in yoghurt, creamy hummus, and crispy falafel that hit all the right notes. The semolina cake was a sweet standout. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the cozy vibe made it even better. A must-try for anyone who loves great food.

Second time visiting and another fantastic meal including the pumpkin and aubergine dishes, accompanied by bulgur wheat and delicious warm bread. All so incredibly tasty. Brilliant service too, friendly and thoughtful. Thank you

We shared Mezze (falafel, the aubergine dip, hallumi / Turkish sausage and prawn) and the chicken with yoghurt and herbs. Everything was absolutely delicious (my favorite was the aubergine dip). Service was very friendly and accommodating. We‘ll be back!

Stumbled across this place by chance and had a delicious meal - all the ates were excellent. Great vibe, very welcoming staff and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

I was there last night with a very dear friend. It was our 2nd. visit and.nothing has changed the food was delicious and the warm welcome and service could not have been better....to finish off the meal, the semolina cake is supreme this is an exceptional place, looking forward to our next viisit already.

Little gem of Dalston, warm, cosy… Home cooked, well curated, less known mezes of Mesopotamia, Eastern Mediterranean. Certainly a testament to colors and strong women of homeland.

The food was decent but for the price, you’d expect rice or bread to be included with the mains. We had Kashke Bademjan, Chicken in Yoghurt, Lamb Tagine, Veg Moussaka, Bulgur, Rice, and Turkish Coffee. While everything tasted nice, it was surprising that mains didn’t come with any rice or bread, especially considering the price. Portion sizes—particularly the protein—felt a bit small for the cost. A bit pricey for what you get overall.

Lovely staff, we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Really nice people, excellent food, and a warm, cozy atmosphere!! :)

I've had dinner with friends this week, and the homemade Middle Eastern fusion menu was difficult to choose from when we ordered Moroccan Tagine. Chicken in yoghurt and vegetable mosuakka was divine, had yummy food 😋 very welcoming, cosy little restaurant.

Seriously excellent food and service, a truly wonderful meal. The margaritas were fab, the food flavours were zingy and fresh, the service was perfect. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone, a hidden treasure.

Amazing food, one of the best middle-astern fusion restaurants in east london, and the service is great.

The service was fast and the quality was top notch. The prices are also quite reasonable for this level of service. The waiting time in the comfortable customer area was quick and I was pleasantly surprised with the result.

Delicious food with lots of vegan options. Warm environment and super friendly service.

Attentive service, delicious dishes. My only regret is I haven’t tried more of the menu yet. The moussaka was hearty, the avocado hummus creamy and both well paired with the house bread.

Great food. Nice staff Flavourful meatballs Thank you

This place in one of Dalston’s jems. Home-made food. Best rice in the area. The chicken is AMAZING and the meatballas are outnof this world. Very warming and homely food.

Food is just excellent and the service is outstanding. I always go for the lamb meatballs!!

Beautiful food, wonderful service, and the most welcoming atmosphere. This place is perfection.

Lovely restaurant, food was nice, great value and the service was amazing

Amazing food. Great service. Would definitely recommend for dinner and drinks.

Amazing wine and vege moussaka, good fish stew.

I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Zer. Every dish we ordered at was super tasty and the service was exceptional. Recommended!

Friendly staff and fresh, tasty food-- the dhal was A1!

Such a warm, friendly welcome 🙏 followed by lovely and plentiful drinks (beer and wine), absolutely delicious food and the best service. We had avocado humus with bread as a shared starter, followed by fish stew and prawn tagine...both main courses were exceptional and followed by a piece of freshly baked semolina cake. I can't recomend highly enough. Great value. Thankyou.

Cosy and Nice atmosphere ,with the best service, delicious food. Thank you zer.

Went in early December. Service was quick and everyone was nice and there was a nice atmosphere. My girlfriend and I felt really let down by the food, we had the tagines. Take it with a pinch of salt since we’ve not eaten a lot of tagines but we both found it a bit lacking in flavour. That being said, could have been a great tagine but just not aligned with our palettes.

It had been on my list of places I wanted to try for a long time, but I hadn't been able to make a reservation on the weekends. I finally tried it and it was worth the wait. The harmony of the spices, the delicious food, the professionalism of the service, the warmth of the atmosphere were very good, and when I learned that it was a women's business and that all the employees were women, I was even more impressed. Well done.

It is a very nice restaurant, a different atmosphere, the food, especially the chicken with yoghurt and the lamb tagine were delicious, I will always recommend it. Thanks to all the staff.

A Hidden Gem for Middle Eastern Cuisine I recently had the pleasure of dining at zer kitchen, and I can confidently say it's one of the best Middle Eastern dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me straight to the heart of the Middle East — warm, inviting, and full of character.

I saw this restaurant on an influencer page and wanted to try it for so long! I saw a video of them making the Syrian lamb dish with sour cherries. It was honestly so so good! The prices reflect the high service and standards for food. We also tried the chicken yogurt dish and it was also really nice. I would definitely come back again for the same dishes. I highly recommend!

We had the cold meze - it was all delicious and the pea tahini was a particular highlight. We’d also highly recommend the semolina cake!

Delicious, excellent service, lovely atmosphere

Such a wonderful experience with even better food. Holya is particularly lovely. Highlights were roasted red pepper mezze and the cauliflower amongst every other dish we ordered. Will definitely come back!

We had a lovely time at Zer! The service and food were simply amazing and there were loads of vegan options, too. The hummus definitely was among the best I‘ve ever had.

Great middle east restaurant, bit pricey in my opinion but worth to try the food there

Walked in after a night out near by and I'm so happy we did! The service was great, the place was spotless! Having been to turkey I felt like my friends mum was cooking for me all over again. Aubergine starter was a delight, the lamb was melting in my mouth and the veg fritters perfectly seasoned...I recommend it !!! We will definitely be back. It's an address to save! Thank you to the whole team...a meal I'm not going to forget!

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere! Heja was very friendly and accommodating!

Nicest food I've had in ages! Perfectly cooked. Shout out to Heja for great service!

A gorgeous spread of food with beautiful service from Heja

Had the most beautiful meal and great service! Most beautiful, attentive waitress 🥰 heja I think so helpful xx

Heja was amazing, all the food was incredible and we could always trust her for recommendations and questions. Everything was delicious and the people were so welcoming, I specifically recommend the yougurt chicken!

The three of us went for dinner in this little gem of Dalston and were welcomed by the lovely Heja! We usually struggle finding quality gluten-free options, but this wasn’t the case: we tried the Hummus, Falafel and Lamb Tagine, which was an explosion of flavourful smell and tastes! The lamb was tenderly executed and the sauce had absorbed all the notes of cinnamon, apricot and plum, making it an incredible blend of tastes. I definetely recommend going there if you’re looking for a cosy, warm and tasty experience! Also very fair prices for the portions. I’ll definitely visit again!

We had an amazing dinner, the food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. We were served by Heja who was so attentive and made our experience 10/10. I recommend the hot meze and pea and tahini dip!

Super lovely place! The food was delicious - great range of vegetarian and meat options, and super fun mix of cuisines. We got the roasted aubergine and the chickpea stew and they were both delicious! They came with steaming bread and some hummus we ordered, all yummy! What a feast.

Wonderful restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food with diverse menu offering classic dishes as well and unique ones. The pumpkin tahini dish was heavenly!

Absolutely loved the food and the service was espectacular. It was a first for both of us and the lamb tagine was delicious! Also trans and queer inclusive. Will come back!

Amazing food, Hulya was an amazing host

Had an amazing time with my friends this evening. Quite a small quiet restaurant and the service was the best part of the experience. Hulya and Heja did an amazing job, very welcoming and made us feel like home. We'll be back for sure. And of course food was great as well!

The warm and welcoming staff (Hulya & Heja) are incredibly attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. The menu is a delightful showcase of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, featuring a wide range of flavors and textures. And don't forget to save room for the baklava; it's the perfect sweet ending to a delicious meal. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply looking for a new dining adventure, Zer Middle Eastern Kitchen is a must-visit. The combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a truly memorable experience.

A really tough one to leave a review for and I'll explain why. The food tastes authentic and is of a good quality. The service is great - we felt well looked aftered by the waitresses who were very pleasant and attentive. It's the price to portion ratio which heavily reduces the score. To pay £15 for a small bowl of stew and get no rice (£4 extra) is to me a day light robbery. We spent £30 on two mezzes and recieved 8 olive seed size dishes with 2 small pieces on each. I actually felt offended as a person of middle eastern descent to recieve such obnoxiously small portions when we are known for our generosity when it comes to food.

So fabulous, really wonderful gem of a place. amazing interior and even better food. i recommend the lamb tagine with the roasted aubergine, bulgar wheat, Shepards salad and pickles. Service was also great. thank you Hulya and the rest of the team for the great experience💚also good vegetarian options.

Incredible food and experience! Everything was delicious and Hulya was lovely!

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing staff!

Came here on a Wednesday night and it wasn’t packed but the vibe was great. Had the lamb stew which was so tender and so delicious and also the aubergine which I would really recommend. Will definitely be coming back 😇

Delicious food and wonderful staff. Aubergine on the veggie dishes is a must have.

Had a Turkish house red and a falafel wrap with humous and sald and it came to under £18. Service was super-efficient and friendly. Sadly I had a gig next door so it was only going to be a quick stop. I was taken care of as their was a prior reservation but I assured I would be quick and I left before the reseervation time was due. I really appreciate the efficient service and extremely tasty food. I was almost back in the Middle East again!

The food was so insanely good!!! I cannot recommend this place more! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and if we are back up this way we will definitely be back! Also the whole vibe was really chilled and comforting and the staff were super nice.

Terrible service. They offer the vouchers but then they do not accept them. As a result, I wasted lots of time. I will definitely not visit again as they do not respect customers at all. Update: in their response, the restaurant lied about the voucher being out of date. The voucher was still valid with the expiry date in the mid October. I also had to spend lots of time trying to get a refund.

Gorgeous food and incredible service

Food was delicious and the service was amazing

Food was delicious. Loved the falafel, chicken in yoghurt and daal the most! Very tasty, highly recommend!! Oh, the aubergine starter was also fantastic.
