Due to the success of their restaurant in South Kensington, Ceru Restaurant has opened up a new site in Soho. Luckily for me I happened to be shopping in the area recently. Having heard how wonderful their food was online I decided to pay them a visit.
Ceru Restaurant (Soho) is perfect for a get-together with friends, a date, or even a business meeting.
You are guaranteed to impress.
Ceru Restaurant (Soho)
Ceru serves an interesting fusion of Eastern Mediterranean foods from Turkish, Israeli, Syrian and Lebanese cuisine (Levantine food). Each dish is beautifully presented and incorporates a mix of flavours and fresh, quality ingredients. The menu boasts a good range of dishes to tickle the taste buds. Whether you prefer, meat, fish or vegetables you are well catered for. Dishes that contain allergens are clearly marked on the menu as are those containing sulphites.
There is a great drinks selection available including some fabulous cocktails and fresh pressed juices.
Choosing what to order is hard as everything sounds tempting. We were advised to order 3 to 4 dishes per person. The idea is that these are sharing plates to enjoy with others.
Dips to Start
Three In One
Seafood
Karides
Whole grilled garlic prawns with a dried lime & coriander labneh.
Spice Battered Squid
With a harissa yoghurt.
This fantastically crispy batter was a winner with me. The tender yet firm squid within was fresh and cooked just right. The harissa yoghurt made a great addition to the dish and the portion size was good.
Meat
Lamb Shoulder
Slow roasted for 5 hours in a secret blend of 12 Shawarma spices, with a pomegranate, fresh mint and pistachio sauce.
A popular dish here and it wasn’t surprising to see why. The meat literally fell apart and was exquisitely flavoursome.
Poultry
Merguez Chicken
Roasted Aubergines with Chermoula
Zucchini & Feta Fritters
With a mint and dill yoghurt.
The zucchini and feta combined are incredible. The creamy, saltiness of the feta with the soft smoothness and delicate flavour of the zucchini make for an extremely moreish mix. Just when you think it can’t be an better you scoop some of the herb yoghurt onto your bite sized morsel. It’s so good you have to try it for yourselves!
Desserts
Dark Chocolate Mousse
Overall

I am loving the sound of this menu. I love trying new and interesting food and this is somewhere i would definitely visit
Those king prawns looked delicious, they’re my favourite food!
They were delicious!!!!
I love these fusion restaurants when they get them right. Means you can satisfy a group of differing palettes.
It sure does. I love to try new flavours and these guys really do offer something different.
That lamb shoulder looks absolutely amazing! I need to go here!
Everything looks so yummy, hope to go when i’m next in London
You will love it Samantha 🙂
Looks delicious – has made me hungry! Will look at going there when i’m next in London.
I would love to eat out more, there’s not many quality restaurants near where we live
That’s such a shame. This one was really lovely. They had a great range of dishes.
My gosh! Everything looks so delicious I would literally order everything you had. The grilled prawns and chicken especially…so yummy!
It looks great doesn’t it! The chicken and prawns were yummy.
The food looks very tasty. I would love to dine in this restaurant for sure.
I don’t blame you. They have a lovely range of foods.
This looks delicious! I always appreciate when allergens are clearly labeled, too – too many places forget about that!
I know and it doesn’t help if you have allergies. These guys have everything covered there.
I’m always on the lookout for restaurants recommendations. Ceru sounds like an amazing one. I’ll have to add this to my list!
Enjoy your meal there Helen. I’m sure you will love it.
The grilled prawns and the squid dish look really delicious! This looks like a good restaurant to try. The place is cozy, the food is fantastic! Truly a great find!
It sure is a great find. The food there is really good. I would recommend this to anyone that can get there.
Now this is a place I’ll like to visit! The environment seems awesome and the food delicious! And I’m a big fan of seafood and lamb so perfect!
I thought they had a fantastic range of food there. I’m sure you would love their food.
Ummmm… All of that food looks so good! Although that dark chocolate mosse definitely had my mouth watering!!
It was lovely, especially the choccy mousse 🙂
The food looks really delicious especially the lamb shoulder. I can just imagine how tender it is being slow roasted for 5 hours. Now, I am badly craving for one.
They did a great job with the food. Everything was fresh and well made.
Those dips look like such a great way to start a meal. And what fab flavors to have, too. Looks like a wonderful meal!
It sounds like they have a good selection. I love it when a restaurant makes it easy to know where allergens are by putting it on the menu.
The range of dishes is good there and everything is nicely presented.
I totally loved all the food featured here especially the dips and crispy fried squid. I would love to visit Ceru restaurant the next time I am around Soho area.
It really is good isn’t it. I loved the range available.
I’ve not tried much Eastern Mediterranean food before but if all looks so delicious I’d love try it. The food looks so vibrant and packed full of flavour.
The dishes were all tasty and well made.
Oh wow, I do love a good restaurant chain, I have not yet tried Ceru but their food looks absolutely delicious
Their food is really good. It’s a restaurant that I would highly recommend.
I love the look of the dips. I wouldn’t mind going out for a nice meal somewhere, feels like forever since I last did
I think you should rectify that fast!
My mouth is watering! I went to a Turkish restaurant recently and the food was similar, but no where near as nicely presented!
I bet you had a lovely time. The food here was lovely. I highly recommend it.
Oh my! The food looks and sounds wonderful, one to visit on our next trip to London
It sure is, you’ll love the food there x
I’ve never tried Levantine cuisine before but the dishes all look delicious. The lamb looks delicious.
