Meet Aidana 👋 If you’ve been to ZIMA, there’s a good chance she has looked after your table.

Originally from Bishkek, she once had a British guest ask her where to find kumis in London (a question that earned a place among her favourite ZIMA memories). Her favourite on our menu: borscht with pirozhki.

We’re very happy to have Aidana on ZIMA team!

Can’t choose just one? Neither should you! A little dumpling feast for the table: rich lamb pelmeni, dumplings with smoked cod, and comforting potato & mushroom vareniki. Three very different flavours, and no need to pick just one. Perfect for sharing too.

One of the things we love most about blinis is that they’re just as good savoury as they are sweet. For autumn, we’re serving Mushroom-Filled Blinis with dill butter sauce, and Tvorog-Filled Blinis with caramelised apples. Two comforting seasonal dishes, each with a very different character.

Want to try them? Book via our website, or simply walk in

Meet Anton 👋

He’s been working with us at ZIMA for almost 4 years, and we can all agree that he’s become a core part of our team.

Originally from Kharkiv, Anton’s favourite dish at ZIMA is our lamb pelmeni. One of his favourite stories from over the years is about a regular guest who now refers to him as her son. And, perhaps most importantly, ZIMA is also where Anton met his wife ❤️

Recently, Anton joined our management team, so we’re celebrating him and his new role.

Congratulations, Anton! 🥂

The perfect start to an evening in the West End 🎭

After many requests, we are delighted to introduce our new Pre-Theatre Menu at ZIMA, available every day from 4pm to 6:30pm.

Featuring a selection of some of our most-loved dishes, the set menu is designed for an early dinner before the show, with plenty of time to make it to curtain call.

Located in the heart of Soho, ZIMA is just a short walk from many of London’s best-loved theatres, including the Prince Edward, Phoenix Theatre, Gielgud, Sondheim and Lyric.

Simply book your table between 4pm and 6:30pm and let our team know on arrival that you would like the Pre-Theatre Menu. Walk-ins are, of course, very welcome too.

See you in Soho.
