Wonderful experience at Cafe Luca. The foot was particularly good, especially the seabass with honeyed rice. Service was friendly and took great care of guests' allergies. Top value given the experience. Much recommended.

Fantastic, healthy, delicious, different food. My group tried all the vegetarian dishes, each one starter size. Innovative food and delicious. For mains we had the Branzono, a whole fish cooked on the fire, enough for 3 people. Incredibly good. We also had the Pepper Steak, succulent and flavoursome. Unhesitatingly recommend.

We had a lovely meal - tasty , unusual and good value. We chose two Afghani dishes , Chicken in yoghurt and lentil dahl and a shepherds salad. They were all flavoursome , gently spices and cooked to perfection. The ingredients especially of the Shepherds salad were fresh and delicious. They have a good mix of meat and veggie dishes We had a beer and a some glasses of wine all of which were great. We went on a week night, before a gig at EartH next door and service was prompt and helpful even with a full restaurant. The ambiance is warm and friendly - a real oasis on a busy High st. I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to the Zer Middle Eastern Kitchen.
