About the author:
Imad Al Arnab is a Syrian chef, entrepreneur and refugee who ran three successful restaurants, several juice bars and cafes in Damascus. In the war, Imad's businesses were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time.
Imad arrived in London in 2015 and eventually his family was able to join him. He initially burst onto the London restaurant scene with a series of hugely popular charity events. Supper clubs sold out within hours and hungry workers waited patiently in long queues for take-away lunches at pop-ups. Imad opened his much anticipated restaurant in Kingly Court, London, in May 2021.
