Modern Eastern European cuisine in the heart of Soho - dinners, birthdays, parties and full buyouts.
Welcome
The best nights have a way of unfolding on their own - a toast that turns into a speech, a song that gets the whole room singing, a meal that stretches long past dessert.
In the heart of Soho, ZIMA brings together the warmth of Eastern European hospitality with the energy of the neighbourhood.
Classic dishes reimagined, house-infused vodkas, and London’s first Slavic karaoke bar hidden downstairs. From intimate dinners to full venue takeovers, every event here is generous, spirited, and impossible to forget.
The table
Blinis, zakuski, sharing plates and desserts - the kind of spread that keeps the night at the table.
Kitchen
Familiar Slavic flavours - rich, hearty, celebratory - prepared with modern technique and seasonal produce. Dishes are designed for sharing: blinis piled high, slow-braised meats, pickles and zakuski that keep the table lively.
Dietary menus are available for vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests.
Beverage
Our house-label vodka sits alongside house-infused creations - horseradish, sea buckthorn, cherry and blackcurrant - each one made in-house. Nastoyka is our signature drink, and no truly great night unfolds without it.
The cocktail list balances Eastern European tradition with London flair, while a carefully chosen wine list and zero-proof options ensure everyone finds their drink.
