Lovers of Ethiopian cuisine and adventurous foodies will appreciate this bright, clean and modern restaurant in Camberwell that prides itself on its family recipes and dedication to authentic Ethiopian traditions. Zeret itself is a name that comes from a small village in northern Ethiopia, and the menu includes mostly chicken, lamb and beef stews made with butter, garlic and ginger served on pancake-like flatbread called enjera. All the food here is delicious, and the dining room is decorated with colourful placemats, potted palms and simple white walls. Perfect for communal/sharing meals with friends and family, the Zeret Kitchen has attentive staff and a relaxed atmosphere – don't miss the Ethiopian style chicken cooked with green chillies, herbs and spices.

    What a lovely restaurant, hidden away in Camberwell. My friend and I had the big sharing platter which was more than enough food -- delicious. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are great. Will return soon.

    Insanely good, never tried Ethiopian food, the Ethiopian honey wine was so nice!!! Waiters were overall very hospitable. Some customers were very disruptive and loud but that’s not to the fault of the restaurant, just a note. Would love some music too.

    A lovely Ethipian menu, we went for the sharing platter and weren't disappointed, as everything presented was delicious, and we even got seconds of our favourite dish. The wine list is small but perfectly paired to the dishes on the menu. We plumped for a Chote du Rhone that matched beautifully. The service was friendly and the ambiance very relaxed. I highly recommend and everyone should definitely visit.
