Announced earlier this year, Nela London will occupy a 10,000sq ft space within the former Whiteleys shopping centre in Bayswater.
Accessed via its own street entrance, the restaurant will feature an open kitchen, a ’360°’ centrepiece bar, a private dining room and an outdoor terrace.
The menu will feature some of the flame-cooked signatures for which the Amsterdam location is known.
The Amsterdam menu is split into sections including bread and wood-fred pizza; raw and cured; vegetables and salads; fish and seafood; and poultry and meat.
Dishes on the Amsterdam menu include oysters with fermented chilli and smoked oil; crispy shimeji mushroom with chipotle aioli; half lobster with guajillo butter and mandarin; and lamb shank with red jus.
“Following the success of our launch in Amsterdam, we’re very excited to share the Nela experience with London,” Shetty and Geller say.
“Our vision has always been to create a space where we can gather around the fire to share good food and drink with friends in a beautiful setting. The Whiteley is a unique place and, together with our incredible team, we can’t wait to create a destination within a destination for all lovers of great hospitality.”
The pair launched Nela - meaning pure - in 2022 in partnership with British entrepreneur Gilad Hayeem.
Next month, the trio will launch Nela Ibiza, their first international outpost.
