ZIMA Soho is a Slavic restaurant at 45 Frith Street in central London. The dining room offers a modern setting for recipes rooted in Eastern European food traditions, within easy walking distance of several West End stations and theatres.
The menu moves between celebrated regional classics and contemporary dishes that reinterpret familiar flavours. Soups, dumplings, cured or smoked ingredients, fish and substantial meat dishes give diners a broad route through the cuisine.
Sharing starters before individual mains is a useful way to compare lighter pickled or vegetable flavours with richer slow-cooked dishes. Desserts and traditional accompaniments extend the meal beyond the best-known savoury staples.
The restaurant opens daily for lunch and dinner, and both reservations and direct collection or delivery ordering are available. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current menu and discuss ingredients and preparation with the team before ordering.
Address: 45 Frith Street, Soho, London W1D 4SD, England
