Same thing here

Use --zookeeper zookeeper:2181 instead and it will work. That is what is listed in docker-compose.yml:

KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT: zookeeper:2181

[prabhupatel]

using port 2181 but not sure why it is throwing the same exception

The solution is to make these modifications to the Kafka server configuration file:

• zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=60000
• #broker.id=0
  I have created a tutorial which teaches how to install kafka on windows 10 with the latest version of kafka.

I had this problem on Kafka 2.7 and it worked when using --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 instead of zookeeper (zk connection is deprecated on newest versions of Kafka).
