ZIMA Notting Hill

ZIMA Notting Hill, just off Portobello Road, invites guests to indulge in a sumptuous choice of modern Russian and Eastern European cuisine.

Signature dishes range from hearty classics to lighter, more contemporary plates, all served alongside an extensive selection of house-infused vodkas, bottled craft beers and interesting juice combinations.

The menu is both varied and extensive offering a wide range of dishes, tapas-style, to nibble and share; explore these smaller dishes which feature pillowy dumplings, cured fish, velvety soups and served alongside hearty mains, such as slow-cooked stews (try the beef and plums) and tender fish.

Start with a plate of pickles and vodka pairings before launching into newly invented and traditional flavoured noodle dishes such as sour cherry pelmeni (packets of fluffy perfection) or a near-translucent lamb-stuffed dumpling that is served up with 14-hour braised beef cheeks and made-on-site horseradish cream.

Douse your fire in the delightful cranberry vodka or let the Zywiec beer sing out the richness of your selections. Enter through floor-length curtains with a young Russian greeting and coat storage, step inside a new vision for Russian cooking that London’s modern gastronomes have been waiting so long to try

The food is perfect for Londoners looking for a simpler, yet still lavish twist to weekend or late-night dining. Those searching for more mindful eating won’t be disappointed either - half the menu is vegan and veggie.

Traditional tea-soaked honey cakes (480 layers for the dark chocolate) or a fruity tart are there to keep London’s sweet tooths happy, too.
