We had a fantastic service this morning at Fremantle. Food was absolutely fantastic. Interior was stunning. But what stuck with us massively was our incredible server. I believe she said she was the assistant manager (annoyingly we cant remember her name) nothing was too much for her, she was funny and just an absolute asset to the business! Thank you

We had a lovely meal - tasty , unusual and good value. We chose two Afghani dishes , Chicken in yoghurt and lentil dahl and a shepherds salad. They were all flavoursome , gently spices and cooked to perfection. The ingredients especially of the Shepherds salad were fresh and delicious. They have a good mix of meat and veggie dishes We had a beer and a some glasses of wine all of which were great. We went on a week night, before a gig at EartH next door and service was prompt and helpful even with a full restaurant. The ambiance is warm and friendly - a real oasis on a busy High st. I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to the Zer Middle Eastern Kitchen.
