We visited Zuaya two days ago and we loved the experience � the recommended watermelon cocktail was out of this world. Sweet potato ice-cream... wow, we cannot wait to have this again! Beautifully prepared main courses. Sadia was a brilliant hostess � - a highly recommended experience!
Definitely going back again. Fantastic menu, delicious food and extremely welcoming staff.
This place is absolutely fabulous and I can highly recommend it!
The service was not only professional (as you expect from many places like this), but they showed high expertise about the cocktails for example and something you cannot find everywhere in London: They are honest, very customer-oriented and therefore absolutely on point! Their recommendations were 100% right, and I appreciated the honest feedback on my questions. What we ended up ordering was just what we had hoped for.
The incredible kindness of every single staff member is 1st class. And every person (every person!) is treated like the royal family here - I am massively impressed! I felt so easy here, and it was so nice and laid back. A lot of wannabe high-class places in Kensington have that condescending arrogance to be hip or something and sell a certain image. This place is real, and I will definitely come back again and again! There are no words for the easy yet elegant flair and atmosphere.
I loved the cocktails, too, and the food was really good. If you really want to enjoy yourself in an easy environment yet super classy and chic: THIS is it! :)
Take your friends out here and thank me later ;)
Stumbled upon this restaurant while we were over by Hyde Park. Really good food and the service was excellent. Beautiful interior. The seafood was wonderful
Highly recommended! The mango gazpacho is a standout, the ceviche too is delicious and unique. The octopus paired with sweet potato was very effective - we loved it.
The atmosphere of Zuaya is livelier and less formal than sister restaurant El Norte; it would be great for a date night or a celebration.
Service was a bit overwhelmed on a busy weekend night, but as most restaurants are short staffed right now, it’s understandable.
We’ll definitely be back!
Nice restaurant with good food and nice ambience. The service is good too.
All the dishes were quite tasty. But they are quite expensive and on top, the portions are small, so prepare to spend a lot if you want a filling meal.
Although the ambience is nice, perhaps it feels a bit too dark and the background song might be a bit jarring sometimes.
Recommendations: Lamb tacos, sirloin steak
A great spot tucked away off of Kensington High Street. The food was great, with lots of variety and plenty of flavour. Thank you so much to Nico for the exceptional hospitality.
So great vibe, Tasty food, Excellent service.
My bf booked this place. We absolutely enjoyed here.
Highly recommend the place!
Some of the best octopus and the best ceviche I've ever had, and beautifully served. The mango gazpacho was heaven in a bowl. The meats were all very good too. A bit underwhelmed by the calamari (correct, but I've had much better) and by padrón peppers (a bit underdone, not at all charred). Great staff. Will definitely be back, but I know what not to order now 😅
A cool place with very atmospheric deco, friendly service and decent food. The restaurant is conveniently located near High Street Kensington and Hyde Park.
We came here for dinner on Monday. The restaurant was not super busy, but booking would be preferred.
We had 3 starter tapas, 2 sides, 1 middle sized meat dish and 1 salad. It was good portion to share between two people. The food was decent. My favourite was the sweet potato soup and the Brazilian bread with cheese. The salad was okay, not very flavourful. The pork belly was over cooked and ended up being a bit too chewy. The bread was a bit too dry and felt more like a cookie.
The service was great. Food served fast and the waitress came to check with us a couple of times.
The price was on the middle and toward high end. The bill came out as £43 per person for two of us, including service.
My friend recommended this restaurant & I was there last night with bunch of my friends to celebrate a birthday. It was such a warm and amazing experience. Special thanks to the lovely staff with their excellent service! They surprised us with complementary birthday dessert! Food was simply amazing and the crispy cassava is a must try! Mouth waveringly crispy on the outside and soft & fluffy on the inside , I'm definitely going to visit them soon!
The food and cocktails were very nice, and the staff were all so friendly. Definitely recommend the shrimp and the octopus, the sauce was amazing!
I came here with a friend for a catch up lunch. Everything was really fantastic: the food, the service, the ambiance. Very easy to get here from the tube.
We came when they opened and they were ready for us immediately. We had a range of food: guacamole, mango gazpacho, tuna avocado taco (x2), a lamb taco, and tuna tiradito. Every single thing on the menu was absolutely fantastic. It was really filling what we had. Even though I don't live nearby I am going to have to try to find an excuse to come back for lunch again!
Shout out to our servers for being attentive and wonderful. It wasn't super busy and we appreciate that they let us sit for a very long time to enjoy each others company.
Food was great, the waitress gave good recommendations(Vanesa who was very attentive )and hit the mark every time
The restaurant is buzzing and has some gorgeous decor. Service was impeccable and the menu offers a nice variety of plates. Our personal favourite was the chicken croquettes and lemon marinated chicken. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back.
Food was amazing and tasty! The sweet potato crisps were nice and different. The burger unfortunately wasn’t halal as there’s pork mixed in the patty. In the starters you get one taco for the price. So if you want more you have to order more. Calamari was nice and the sauce that came with it was the best.
My wife and I had a lovely experience! The steak, tuna dish, and lamb taco were excellent! We also tried the guacamole, which was great! We didn't expect the Tomato, avocado, and pomegranate salad to have grapes in it, and the item was removed from our bill as it wasn't to our taste. All in all, it was excellent, and we'd love to come back and try more, including their dessert!
The food was absolutely delightful, honestly do follow the recommended 3 to 4 plates as you may need to be rolled out for over indulgence. The flavours worked all well together and the sharing portions were generous. The decor, atmosphere and the waiters and waitresses were lovely and I will be visiting again hopefully soon.
Very nice tapas place off High Street Kensington. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Ordered several medium and small bites, everything tasted very nice. The best for me was the Steak Lunchtime offer and Sea Bass with berries. The peppers were mostly mild but there are a few very very spicy ones I think larger ones 🥵
I had the delightful opportunity to dine at Zuaya this past Saturday with my boyfriend and mother. Whenever we have guests visiting us in London, our go-to spot is always Zuaya. I must emphasize that it consistently delivers a wonderful experience. The cuisine is consistently superb, but it's the exceptional service that truly sets it apart. Vanessa, our charming waitress, provided us with an exceptional level of service, as she always does. Her warmth and professionalism shine through every time. Witnessing her dedication at work always brings smiles to our faces, and truthfully, she is the reason we keep returning. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have the pleasure of being served by Vanessa.
Oh my word. Spent the weekend in London for my Wife's birthday so tried Zuaya for her birthday meal. One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Flawless from start to finish. Service, food and drinks were all brilliant. Server was attentive and friendly without the over the top intrusion that you sometimes get in high end restaurants (filling your water glass up every 5 seconds etc).
