Zer Middle East Kitchen - (Near , london)

James Prenter We were slightly nervous when we first walked into the bar, at it was pretty busy and loud - but were glad to hear that the restaurant was in a separate section that was much quieter, but also had a great vibe to it. The food was incredible and great value, they made personalised cocktails to our liking, and our server Ailish was incredible. She had great energy, provided incredible service and made the evening more special. Thank you :)

Marcelina Jaskowiak I am absolutely in love with this place. The atmosphere is very warm and family-like, calm and welcoming. I truly did not expect to find such a peaceful and cozy restaurant in such a highly touristic area. Live music plays about every 30 minutes and creates a beautiful ambiance without being loud or overwhelming. The food is absolutely delicious. Authentic Italian cuisine full of flavor and high quality ingredients. Portions are very generous and the appetizers are huge. You can easily feel full just from the starters alone. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. The location is amazing, right next to Big Ben and the London Eye. Despite this, the restaurant feels relaxed and uncrowded, with none of the usual tourist chaos. The interior design is elegant, tasteful and very comfortable, making it a perfect place for a calm lunch or dinner. I am honestly surprised that in such a busy tourist location you can find a restaurant with such a wonderful atmosphere, incredible Italian food and such a pleasant, relaxed vibe. This is definitely a place I would love to come back to.

Eleanor Lowery Came out for the lunch menu, £16.95 for a 2 course meal, on a weekend? Turns out not impossible, from walking in the door to the last bite of food, phenomenal service. With the focaccia and meatball to start us, absolutely delicious. I had the beef ragu, and after all the reviews, I can see the hype! Literally falls apart, and huge portion size! Same goes for my partner who had the pesto and added chicken. Both meals served hot and very quickly with the service being absolutely complimentary and could not fault! The perfect place for a more fancy lunch date and only £50 with 2 beers and service charge! Would 100% be back and recommend!!

Harry Arroyo Fantastic food, been coming here for years! absolutely recommend it to anyone! The Pizza is the best!! My local!!

Andy Alford From someone who eats out quite a bit, I can honestly say that this was the best curry that Ive had in a long time - possibly ever! I had the chicken lababda, which was just amazing- the flavourings and spices were unlike anything Ive ever tasted before. My son had the chicken korma, which was also delicious. Rice was plump and tasty and the nan bread (plain) was not at all greasy or too oversized. For desert we had gulab jamun, which was also good. This restaurant holds a 5 star food hygiene rating from 23 May 2023. Will definitely be back next time we come to Oxford - well done!

Sean Chiang Marilucia is a pleasant restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, though my experience was a bit mixed overall. I came here for dinner and tried a few dishes – the pizza and starter were both decent, nicely presented and tasty enough, though not outstanding. The ingredients seemed fresh and the crust was well done. I also ordered the Funghi Cocotte, which had good flavour but turned out to be extremely spicy – much more than I expected for a mushroom dish. If you’re sensitive to spice, it’s worth asking before ordering. One thing I didn’t enjoy as much was the amount of up-selling throughout the meal. While the staff were polite, I felt gently pressured into adding extras that I hadn’t planned on, and the bill ended up about 50% higher than I expected. It would be better if the team gave clearer information about prices or optional add-ons in advance. That said, the service was friendly, the ambience was pleasant, and it’s still a nice place for a casual evening out. With a bit more transparency and balance, Marilucia could easily be a solid five-star spot. For now, I’d give it four stars for good food but room to improve.
