Celebrate the festive season in style at Zahter, where Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean flavours meet elegant Soho surroundings. Whether you’re planning a Christmas dinner with friends, a festive family gathering or an end-of-year corporate celebration, Zahter offers a unique alternative to the traditional Christmas party.
For private festive events, guests can hire The Loft, Zahter’s dedicated private dining room, which accommodates up to 40 guests. Larger celebrations can take advantage of exclusive hire of the entire restaurant, hosting up to 85 diners. The venue is equally suited to seated Christmas dinners, festive lunches, drinks receptions and more relaxed seasonal gatherings.
The interiors provide a warm and welcoming backdrop for winter celebrations. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light during the day, while brass lighting, pastel tones and fresh greenery create an inviting atmosphere after dark. In the main restaurant, a striking bar clad in blue and white tiled detailing sits beneath globe pendant lights, while exposed brickwork and industrial touches add character throughout.
Christmas events are catered with specially designed set menus focused on sharing-style Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean dishes. Guests can enjoy a selection of cold meze, hot meze and wood-fired breads served with smoked yoghurt, alongside larger sharing platters featuring marinated chicken thighs, beef fillet skewers, pita bread, spring onions and tahini. Premium festive menus may also include dishes such as whole grilled sea bass, hummus and tava boregi with feta cheese and herb salad, followed by pistachio baklava for dessert.
Drinks packages can be tailored to suit any festive occasion, with beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks available. Signature cocktails include the Figo and the Coffee Royal, while classics such as mojitos, palomas and negronis are also available. Guests can even enjoy hookah in flavours including peach, grape and apple.
