A new addition at 11 Berkeley Street Mayfair is Jeru, the epitome of a modern Middle Eastern culinary heaven complete with exquisite wine, stunning interiors and a semi private dining room that will blow you away. Combine that with some of the best food you will eat in London and a team that is so passionate and knowledgable about what they do you’ll want to quit your job and join their ranks pronto.
Or just eat there every day – it’s up to you!
Part of the Seagrass Group who are venturing into the UK for the first time, the brand has a clear and defined message to all of its visitors – that by eating at Jeru you become more than a customer, you become a friend that they will value for years to come. Described as an indulgent dining experience that transcends guests across the Eastern Mediterranean region to explore, select and present the best produce available, Jeru celebrates each dish with ingredients and flavour that create long-lasting memories.
The space itself is an eclectic mix of colours and textures and the atmosphere is created by clever lighting that highlights Jeru as a high-end restaurant that serves a premium a la carte menu. Walking through the front doors you’ll be greeted by their old city style bakery constantly providing the best fresh bread to your table, a sophisticated wine bar, theatrical dining space and a unique Layla Bar. The design immediately transports you away from Mayfair and you quickly forget about the hustle and bustle of London life.
A modern Middle Eastern culinary heaven is the only description we feel Jeru is deserving of. With a menu that celebrates Middle Eastern cuisine traditions blending perfectly with the contemporary demands of Mayfairs diners you can indulge in their a la carte option or a set menu enjoyed in less than one hour – perfect for those quick express lunches required by so many businesses across the city.

If you’re looking for a space in Mayfair that can accommodate up to 100 standing, downstairs from the main restaurant you will find The Layla cocktail bar. A mysterious and seductive space designed to keep you drinking cocktails for the duration of the evening. As the night progresses, the chic lower-level transforms into a high energy dining concept with some of London’s finest DJs accompanied by live percussion and saxophone to enhance the experience.
With banquette seating it’s a n incredible option for large groups looking for a group dining experience still set within the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. Jeru is a very that can simply cater for everything.
In July 2022 on the hottest week of the year, we hosted a group of 40 Assistants in the beautiful Layla Bar to sample the food, meet the team and familiarise everyone with the offer that Jeru can deliver on. With Executive Assistants to CEOs and teams of partners from local VCs and hedgefunds, UHNW assistants and event managers the feedback was sensational –
‘I loved Jeru, it has such a lovely, warm, inviting and evocative feel to it. I will most certainly without doubt use Jeru for any future event and I would really like to bring my whole team there for lunch in December. Our number will be between 50 & 60 give or take.’
‘Thank you so much to you, Jess and the Jeru team for a really lovely evening – I was very impressed with all the wonderful food, wine and great spaces.’
‘Thank you so much for a lovely evening at Jeru. The food was absolutely delicious and a really fun space.’
So how can we wrap up our experience at Jeru? To start with, it’s one of the only places we have been back to for wine, potato bread and their to die for humous (this is a MUST order). If we were to rank it amongst venues in London it would come within the top 3 and we simple cannot see it being beaten for months if not years to come.
We’ll see you soon Jeru!
