culinary landscape as we open the doors of another new restaurant,
this time in London's South Bank. We are excited to have the
opportunity to continue to share the flavours and cultural richness
that have won the hearts of our guests, in an environment that
captures the essence of Middle Eastern heritage".
Nick Ayerst, CEO, added:
"Following the successful recent opening in Ealing, we are
pleased to announce the continued strategic growth in an area of
London we have long desired to be in. The location on the South
Bank captures an immensely high footfall of both workers, visitors
and tourists who we know will be hungry for our well-loved
authentic Middle Eastern food and culture".

About the Southbank Centre
The Southbank Centre is the UK's largest multi-arts centre and
engages the most diverse audiences of any performing arts
organisation in the UK. Our biggest venue, the Royal Festival Hall
(2,700 seats) is the lasting legacy of the 1951 Festival of Britain
and the ambition and values of that project - that arts, ideas,
innovation and culture can heal communities and should be available
and accessible to everyone - are still our guiding principles
today.
The Southbank Centre is uniquely able to offer a wide-ranging,
inclusive and world-class artistic programme spanning contemporary
visual arts, music, dance, performance, literature, comedy and
spoken word across the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall,
Purcell Room, the Hayward Gallery and our free spaces. We are also
home to the National Poetry Library, the National Academy for
Social Prescribing (NASP) and six resident orchestras (Aurora
Orchestra, Chineke! Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra,
London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and
Philharmonia Orchestra).
