Soraya is coming over from Abu Dhabi
After sticking to the Med with its latest batch of openings, including Greek spots Zephyr, Bottarga and Lagana, and the Italian Nina, the Pachamama Group is heading a little further eastwards for its next restaurant. Soraya, born in Abu Dhabi, is coming over to London this summer and will be the group’s largest London restaurant to date, with 190 covers across a 6,000 sq ft site in Marylebone.
There’ll be an open kitchen and L-shaped bar in the main space, alongside two private dining rooms, with all the interiors taking inspo from Persian domestic architecture – think layered rugs, detailed metalwork, aged timber, rotating artworks and collected objects.
Soraya will open from morning through to night, beginning with sharing breakfast dishes such as kuku sabzi, a herb-packed Persian omelette; eggs Benedict with saffron hollandaise; and khachapuri pide alongside herbs, breads and yoghurts. The daytime and evening menu will then include dishes like:
- paneer sabzi with herbs, walnuts, and feta
- kashk bedemjan
- lamb koobideh and chicken joujeh kebabs
- butterflied sea bass with herbs and lemon
- ghormeh sabzi with lamb and herbs
- short rib khoresh with sour grape
- golden tahdig
- rotating series of cheesecakes, including a saffron house version
The drinks offering follows a similar flow; coffee, teas and lighter drinks in the mornings, moving into citrus- and yoghurt-based softies, wines and cocktails.
Given how much of a hit all of the Pachamama Group’s recent restaurants have been, we have no doubt that Soraya will also be a winner.
