Location: 30 Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair
Opening: January 2026
About MA/NA
Opening in January 2026 on Upper Grosvenor Street, MA/NA is born from the Japanese philosophy that every ingredient carries an invisible power, a life-force shaped by nature and the hands that honour it.
Mana is the spiritual energy that exists beneath the surface of all things. It is felt rather than seen - transforming emotion into experience, and a meal into memory.
Guided by this belief, MA/NA will offer a seamless blend of restaurant and bar, refined Japanese dishes alongside an exceptional cocktail, wine and sake list. Here, cocktails flow effortlessly into dinner, and dinner naturally returns to drinks.
Every element of MA/NA, from design and service to sound and light, is intentional. Each detail celebrates the extraordinary within the simple .
The Kitchen
Led by Executive Chef Leo Tanyag (Los Mochis, JUNO, LUNA Omakase; formerly OKKU Dubai), the MA/NA kitchen celebrates the craft of Japanese cuisine, the quiet mastery of precise cuts, the patience of fermentation, and the connection between earth and ocean.
Every dish captures a moment in its purest form, revealing depth, balance, and emotion through simplicity and control.
