Bala Baya Group

Bala Baya Group is the force behind two of London’s most exciting dining destinations: Bala Baya, Southwark and Kapara, Soho. Each venue offers a distinct experience, yet both are deeply rooted in a shared love for bold flavours, creative expression, and vibrant hospitality. As a queer-owned business, Bala Baya Group is committed to fostering inclusive, joyful spaces where everyone feels welcome. Bala Baya, featured in the Michelin Guide, captures the essence of the Mediterranean with its fresh, bold cuisine and lively atmosphere. Known for its innovative approach to traditional flavours, Bala Baya is a celebration of creativity and culinary artistry. Kapara, on the other hand, is a sensory adventure that pushes boundaries. With its playful menu, intimate setting, and intriguing design, it’s a space where dining turns into an exploration of the unexpected. At the heart of it all is Chef Eran Tibi, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef who has honed his craft at some of the world’s most renowned restaurants, including Ottolenghi. Drawing on the rich culinary traditions of his Syrian mother and Tunisian father, Eran infuses his creations with the vibrant, soulful influences of the Mediterranean. Bala Baya and Kapara are the culmination of his passion and vision, offering a dining experience that’s as personal as it is unforgettable. Bala Baya | Southwark Kapara | Soho
