I really love the place!! I’ve been in Zela more than once. The service was really attentive, Saturday night was with Dj set and the atmosphere was amazing. The food was delicious as always, I am a Sushi lover but the Mediterranean touch really make the difference . High recommended
This was the best restaurant I have been to in Europe... Including Michelin started restaurants. My wife and I finished up our honeymoon here after traveling through Naples, Florence, Rome, Paris, and Amsterdam. The scallops are better than anything I have tried before. Other must try items include the salmon rice chips, the tuna tartar, Toro nigiri, quail egg white truffle nigiri, wagyu teriyaki, and the fried rice. The service was also spectacular. The only thing that was a dud for me was the edamame. Overall, though, I was extremely happy and can't wait to go back!

What an amazing restaurant!
The expert chefs from around the world and the innovative fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine create some of the most stunning food I have eaten in a long time. A lot of the Japanese dishes have interesting Mediterranean/Spanish twists to them, making something really unique and frankly unforgettable! Our highlights were the shrimp al ajillo and hoisin duck gyoza and the wagyu teriyaki 48hrs which was incredibly tender. The cocktails were also really delicious (I would particularly recommend the Coco Chanel and the Matilda)
During a tuna masterclass at Zela (which was such a fun and interesting evening) we also tried the Toro “pa amb tomàquet” and Tuna “Huevos estrellados” which were absolutely lovely twists on the classic Spanish dishes! the mochi and hibiscus sorbet to finish were also really, really good.
The décor is also really gorgeous and the staff were really friendly and hospitable, and always enthusiastic to give explanations about the food and the way it was prepared.
Overall (if it isn't already obvious) I’m a big fan of this place and will definitely be back soon!
Absolutely incredible. The staff are amazing and so knowledgeable. I cannot wait to visit again.
Outstanding! Everything from start to finish at this venue was amazing, I couldn't have asked for better service, quality of food and atmosphere.
We chose Zela for a corporate celebration in September, the food is so fresh and flavorsome, all of the guests enjoyed every course they were served and haven't stopped speaking about it since.
The cocktails are delicious and compliment the food very well, the staff are very knowledgeable so are able to recommend the perfect pairing of to your meal. They also have a wide range of Sake which made the night even more interesting and special. All of the staff here from the bar tenders to the management team are amazing, they ensured we were having a great time and anything we asked for they were more and happy to help with. This is by far one of my absolute favorite places in London to eat and drink and I cant wait to visit again. I highly recommend Zela.
I surely recommend Zela restaurant in London. Food quality is one of the best and I loved tuna tartare which was really delicious 😋. This restaurant isn’t good only to taste seafood; it’s also a comfortable place where you can hang out quietly with your friends. They have a wonderful design with sofas and mirrors and live music. The staff is really kind with customers: they do their best for you to have a great experience.
Delicious food, great ambiance but most importantly impeccable service. Our waiter Luigi was super nice and made us feel welcomed and helped us with the menu and ensured we were looked after the whole time.

We went to see the Tina musical, we unfortunately already ate dinner but spotted this restaurant across the road and saw the beautiful decor in their large windows. We went to have a look and the security/welcome person on the front door told us a little about the restaurant and said to come and have a look although he knew we had eaten and gave us a card for a future visit. I asked if we could stop just for a drink and he said of course! We were given a table as it was not very busy and the staff came over with the drinks menu and served us at our table even though we were only a few metres from the bar (we had expected to have to order there ourselves since we were not ordering food) we enjoyed a couple of drinks and again the bill was bought to us and a card machine to pay, the service was impeccable and staff were very friendly. Although I cannot comment on the food, I will definitely be going back for a meal based on this experience. We did look at the menu and prices are inline with other restaurants in the vicinity.
I had dinner today in Zela for the second time since the opening and had a great experience.
Food is excellent, great mix of Japanese and Mediterranean food. Try the red prawn dish its probably the best I’ve ever tried.
Red tuna with tomato sashimi was also amazing.
I am not a big fan of cocktails in general, tried one and I have to recognise was very special.
I hope they keep the level in the long term, this is probably my fav new London opening in 2018 and I have tried a few!

Great venue, super friendly helpful staff coupled with good food, inventive and strong cocktails and an all round nice atmosphere.
If you're considering a venue for your work event or a social gathering close to your offices or your home here in Central London I highly recommend ZELA
Thanks for hosting me and my colleagues, we'll see you at Christmas time for our seasonal festive party! Cheers, Adam
