Aram by Imad brings deli, café, and restaurant together in one vibrant space in Somerset House’s South Wing. This is the newest concept from acclaimed chef and entrepreneur, Imad Alarnab, who left Syria a decade ago, before opening the celebrated Imad’s Syrian Kitchen in Soho. Aram continues to share Chef Imad’s message that food has the power to connect people, honour culture, and create moments of shared humanity.
Inspired by the Eastern Mediterranean, with Syria at its heart alongside Levantine influences from countries such as Turkey, Cyprus, and Jordan, the cooking reflects a deep respect for tradition while embracing the rhythms of modern London. The menu balances the familiar and the unexpected, offering specialty za’atar croissants and halva brownies with roasted aubergine salad and labneh with poached eggs. Many of the ingredients are specially imported from Syria, such as Medjool dates, tahini, and spices, bringing an authentic taste of the region to London.
