The BBQ Steak flatbread was fantastic. Great flavour, more spice level than I expected but I’m fine with that, some people might find it too much. My wife had the burger which she also was very happy with, it was a substantial size too

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.
