Where to Eat Balkan Food in London | Eater London

"Zara is a local café, popular for its English breakfasts and omelettes, but frequently visited by Kosovo-Albanian families at the weekend. It wouldn’t normally be a place to trek across London for, except for the popular — yet off-menu — Balkan-inspired sandwich it serves. The sandwich is filled with mini minced meat patties (qebapa) in a cream cheese and salad and wrapped with traditional Balkan-style bread. It’s likely the most ordered dish in the café." - Kaltrina Bylykbashi

We had the best time celebrating the Ethiopian New Year at Zara Cafe Bar and Restaurant! They made us feel completely at home with their exceptional service and delicious food. The evening was topped off with a beautiful traditional coffee ceremony from Ethiopia and Eritrea, which made the experience even more special. Since they didn’t have a baby seat, they kindly offered to look after our daughter while we finished our meal such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture! We had made a reservation for ten people, and while the place looks small from the outside, it’s actually quite spacious and perfect for larger groups. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic food, warm hospitality, and a true taste of home!

The only good thing about this place is the food, other than that please dont come here. Customers, owner and waitress are super rude. Wouldn't recommend it for my enemies.

Very tasty food , people always friendly and say hi even if they don't know you. The owner always help me to choose new dishes as I'm white woman and don't do much spiciness. Going there for years and will keep on going.
