Imad’s Syrian Kitchen

Imad Alarnab had three successful restaurants and several juice bars in Damascus, before the onset of war tore Syria apart, and his businesses with it. Fleeing the country, he eventually arrived in London via a long journey across Europe cooking for fellow refugees along the way. After trying several jobs in London, including as a car salesman, Imad returned to his true passion of cooking and started running supper clubs which sold out within hours. And now at the end of this incredible story, Imad finally has his own permanent restaurant, Imad’s Syrian Kitchen, which opened in Kingly Court in 2021. Happily, as well as good vibes, you can also find excellent food and wine here, with dishes like hummus with rose harissa, fattoush, batata harra, falafel, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, and pistachio baklawa.
