Harden's says
On the very-short-lived Bayswater site that was Nela (RIP), this late July 2026 newcomer stepped immediately into its vacated shoes with a similar live-fire format, and still with Nela’s head chef, Sachin Mistry, in the same role, who (he says) has created a “menu that celebrates vibrant, seasonal ingredients brought together with smoke, spice, acidity and texture, with many dishes cooked over an open fire”. Options include various cuts of short-horn beef along with Canadian lobster, Cornish sea bass, glazed Iberio pork and chicken.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
