Zephyr Notting Hill Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Every dish bursts with flavor, and their attention to quality never wavers."
• "The salads, pitta bread, and dips are to die for."

• "The truffle and mushroom orzo is only available then and it's outstanding."

Cons:

• "The food was presented nicely but was quite bland."
• "Lamb was tasty, but the roast peppers were flavourless and the tomato salad was full of barely edible tomato cores."
• "The food was underwhelming, as was the service. Ceviche too salty, potato undercooked."
• "The food is very poor... not only was it cold and tasteless but also aesthetically unappetizing."

Cons:

• "The food is simply not worth the price charged."
• "The orzo pasta was a huge disappointment and we could barely consume the small portion we tasted."
• "Portions tiny and the food does not justify the price tag."
• "It was so underwhelming that we were left hungry and had to find a nearby restaurant to eat our dinner."
