Various different burgers with different fillings/toppings/variations. The hummus itself I'm less keen on, but I recognise it as the standard staple/type you tend to get in Israel/Palestine. The service is a little stressed due to the fact it's slammed. However, as the owners seem to run the show there is a degree of ownership to the vibe. I'll definitely be back.

Here's what I found. When I came in there were seven or eight customers, yet the place was noisy. Staff noise, lots of people moving around doing what? Not a quiet meal but I was hungry so I put up with it. The server took my order: a (huge) bowl of soup, a salt beef on rye with mustard, and what I thought would be a small order of cole slaw on the side, and a glass of water. About ten or fifteen minutes after I arrived, a guy came and sat down near me and ordered. Then I began to wait. Within five or six minutes, the fellow on my right, received his food. The server had brought me my water, which was the only thing she did right. I sat and waited for at least another 15 minutes. Finally I pointed out to the server that I had arrived earlier but the man to the right was already eating his meal. She finally went and got the soup, which probably should have come immediately. The soup was absolutely the worst I have ever eaten in my 81 years on this planet. It smelled like dirty sink water, and tasted like it too. It had matzah balls, which were mediocre at best, and I ate them, but the soup was beyond disgusting. Then I waited some more until I could get the eye of the server. I let her know I was ready for the salt beef. The meat was lean, as I had asked for, but it was quite dry and barely warm, like it had been sitting for a bit. It also lacked sufficient mustard for me so I had to ask a different server for more. My server(?) never appeared again. The cole slaw was fine, an exception to everything else except it was a very large order and cost 11 pounds, I think. To pay my bill, which came to over 38 British pounds (more than $50), I had to signal another server since mine had, as I noted, disappeared. The final price, for what I got, was not just exorbitant, it was highway robbery, as we say in America. Noise, horrible service and server, horrible soup, mediocre salt beef --- possibly the worst experience I've ever had in a Jewish deli, and I've eaten in dozens all over the US, in Canada, in Ireland, in England, and even in Israel. I'll never to back to Ruebens and I don't advise anyone else to either.

We were in London for a few days and we were really looking forward to eating in this restaurant. I…read morehad been previously many many years ago but not with my family. On arrival, we were 'greeted' by this sour bunch of three ladies, one who confirmed our reservation, one who took our coats and one who showed us to the table. We were put off by this but we were looking forward to our meal so we simply ignored this. Once we saw the exorbitant menu prices (around £29 per dish), we decided to just order a main course only to be asked by the waitress, "is that it? That's all you are going to order?" What we decide to order is our choice and do not expect to be 'judged' by a waitress! Again, we decided to 'brush this off' and ordered our meal. To describe this as a 'meal' is an understatement! The chicken in black bean sauce had maybe 6 small pieces of chicken, perhaps 50g at most. This was spongy and with no texture at all. I can honestly say that if I ate it blindfolded I would never guess that it was chicken! The spare ribs came absolutely drowned in a thick gloopy sauce and the meat was like a rubber boot and again with not enough to feed a kitten and the fried rice was way undercooked and hard. At this point I had had enough and decided to ask for the owner/manager. Two or three servers came in turn before the actual owner decided to grace us with his presence. At no point did I raise my voice as I had no intention of disturbing other diners. The owner, Norman his name was berated us in a loud voice that he had over 40 years experience in the restaurant business and that no one had ever complained about his food and that he only served prime cuts. He also said that this was kosher food and that we had no idea what kosher food was all about!! We eat kosher at home and when we eat out and he had no right whatsoever to judge us like this! All the other customers were now staring at us making the situation highly embarrassing to say the least! HE then literally threw us out of the restaurant. Norman, if you ever read this (and I think you should) please take heed. I will post this review on Tripadvisor and on all Kosher restaurant review sites I can find! Shame on you and shame on your establishment!

Update: Since Zest…read morehas gone meaty it's definitely improved. Had the roast dinner today for lunch and it was great, service was fab as well - although that could have also been down to the very few other tables. Would now recommend. -------- 2/5 Since opening, Zest has marketed itself as an alternative to the other kosher restaurants - implying it serves modern, exciting kosher food in the style popularised by Yotam Ottolenghi. This influence is definitely on show with the food, with brunch featuring twists on classics such as shakshuka and scrambled eggs - different? yes; delicious? yes; special? not in my opinion. Where Zest really falls down is service. From waiting over 5 minutes to be told there was a wait of around 5 min to be seated, to the waiter completely not hearing our order and needing us to repeat it, to his brash outlining of the bottomless brunch rules (which he then excused by saying he wasn't being rude!), to the chefs looking exasperated at the lack of service - it was all very Fawley Towers! I think this was my 5th and final visit (out of choice that is!) - it's always been the same!

I've had takeaway from the Zest cafe a few times, but yesterday I finally sat down for dinner…read more First, the decor, menu design, and plating are gorgeous and colorful. The menu (kosher dairy) is vegetarian and fish, with strong Middle Eastern/Mediterranean influences thanks to Algerian-Strian-Israeli chef Eran Tibi, who worked with Ottolenghi a few years ago. (Tibi's family has owned restaurants for generations.) Plus, this place has the most attractive waitstaff. It was hard to decide what to order, but I finally settled on the Sephardic ratatouille (with aubergines, courgettes, sunflower seeds, and a single roast cherry tomato) and sweet potato gnocchi. The ratatouille was great but very small. However, the gnocchi was fantastic. The gnocchi were pan-seared and piled on a bed of sort-of baba ghanoush, with yogurt drizzles and pomegranate seeds, surrounded by a smattering of crispy fried onion pieces. It was absolutely amazing. Meanwhile, I saw some of the soup of the day (sweet potato and bok choy) being served, and had to order some. The bok choy added just a necessary hint of sourness to the sweetness of the soup; it's served with slices of toasted challah. I need to go back and try everything else on the menu. My only complaint is that everything is pretty expensive for the size, but you always pay more for kosher, organic, seasonal, and made with this much expertise.
