Gura Gura to make UK debut at The Yards
A cocktail offering will be available with a walkthrough ‘wine tunnel’ at the entrance of the restaurant
Gura Gura, a brand-new Asian bar and kitchen concept, has signed at 19 Slingsby Place, The Yards, for its debut restaurant within Covent Garden which is set to launch in mid-October.
The 2,900 square feet restaurant will be set across two floors within the new and revitalised The Yards, and it will host 110 covers.
A cocktail offering will be available with a walkthrough ‘wine tunnel’ at the entrance of the restaurant.
Designed by Orphic Design Studio and founded by restaurateur Gobind Chona, Gura Gura will be decorated with Asian heritage, displaying a “distinct and authentic” interior, and it will serve a mix of sushi, sashimi, dim sum and small plates, with highlights from the Wok.
Gobind Chona, director of Gura Gura, said: “This location puts us right at the heart of the West End, a bustling area and attracting both local and international visitors, to try our unique cuisine. Our distinct interior and ambiance, paired with great dishes and cocktails, will deliver a genuine dining experience and we can’t wait to open our doors.”
Simon Taylor, property director at the Mercers’ Company, added: “We are so pleased to be bringing yet another debut restaurant to the dining hub that cannot be found anywhere else in the UK. The Gura Gura team has exceptional understanding in creating a dining experience which provides the mix of authenticity and culture to new audiences.”
This follows the latest news that over the summer months, The Yards will welcome back Persian-inspired ice cream brand, Darlish, and become home to a dedicated Piaggio food truck. The Piaggio food truck will be used exclusively by existing restaurant tenants and create a rotating offering of takeaway street food within the destination.
CBRE is the asset manager on behalf of Longmartin Properties, and Colliers and DCL acted for The Yards.
