Impala, our newest restaurant will open its doors in Spring of 2026. Led by chef Meedu Saad, co-owner and executive chef of Kiln, Impala is an open fire grill restaurant, with influences from North Africa to North London. This project is a culmination of recipes and techniques collected from the unruly metropolises that have shaped Meedus cooking.
Our restaurant's larder is built across the seasons, and an absolute focus on quality of ingredients founded upon long term farming projects. The room, led by Fanny Derozier, who has spent the last six years at Kiln, will have an atmosphere which recalls the energy of the Friday markets of Cairo, colliding with a Soho bar. The wine list, led by Penny Vine and Martina Lanarch, will focus on offering multiple cuvées and vintages from producers whom they are inspired by.
