    The kitchen does an excellent job of quickly delivering an exceptional middle eastern-inspired menu. The beets, cauliflower, hummus and shish are winners and have just the right balance of unctuous flavors. Some lemon at the table wouldn’t go astray. The wine list is super. The service was a bit erratic but the staff are v kind.

    Delicious food, immaculate service, and a buzzy atmosphere as per usual at Ezra. We really enjoyed the special Meredith Dairy producer night event held in collab with Unico Zelo wines. Everything was so tasty and the focus on sustainability and no food waste was really impressive. Great job, guys!

    Wonderful restaurant! The food is spectacular and authentically arabic. We tried a combination of the mixed dips, olives and caramelised halloumi. These were all beautifully flavoured and delicious. We topped it off with the slow cooked lamb shoulder, the lamb was perfectly cooked and the jus was magical. We will definitely go back. Staff were attentive and the venue is a great spot for dinner.
