About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Vegetarian-friendly

Lovers of Ethiopian cuisine and adventurous foodies will appreciate this bright, clean and modern restaurant in Camberwell that prides itself on its family recipes and dedication to authentic Ethiopian traditions. Zeret itself is a name that comes from a small village in northern Ethiopia, and the menu includes mostly chicken, lamb and beef stews made with butter, garlic and ginger served on pancake-like flatbread called enjera. All the food here is delicious, and the dining room is decorated with colourful placemats, potted palms and simple white walls. Perfect for communal/sharing meals with friends and family, the Zeret Kitchen has attentive staff and a relaxed atmosphere – don't miss the Ethiopian style chicken cooked with green chillies, herbs and spices.

    This was our first visit to Zeret Kitchen and it didn't disappoint. The service was impeccable, advising us on the dishes to try and explaining how to eat with bread. We had two vegetarians in our party and they had a great selection to choose from. We opted for the coffee ceremony after eating, which was fantastic. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in London

    Absolutely delicious- a must for everyone. We had a slight miscommunication on when food should come out for our group, but thats more on me than anyone else. Just note that if you have a larger party and not everyone is there let someone know you when you want food- ideally should be eaten all together but when people are late or behind.. well you might be hungry!

    Brilliant place. Found it as a last minute booking for my wife and I during the recent heatwave so it was quite quiet! Service was attentive and friendly but not at overbearing. Real family style atmosphere. Food was delicious! We had the set meal for two because we were being lazy and were very hungry. It was a huge amount of food but well thought out and very very tasty. If you like relaxed, unpretentious vibes, good food and excellent service, go!

    Always great food and service and lovely hosts- needless to say it is a firm personal favourite and one I can wholeheartedly recommend. The food is all cooked to order from scratch as too the after dinner coffee and popcorn- I can truly recommend the coffee ceremony too as touch of Ethiopia and the warm hospitality.

    Zeret Kitchen has the best Ethiopian food in London. You will receive a warm welcome from the owner. The food is tasty and the service is excellent. I enjoyed the Awaze Tibs very much. I highly recommend this restaurant and visit whenever I am in London.
