📣💥Introducing Ara Restaurant 💥📣

A third venture for chef patron, Murat Kilic launching in East London on 1st May 2025, a stone’s throw from Spitalfields and Shoreditch.

In a departure from previous ventures, Murat’s menu at Ara will be a melting pot of global flavours without borders and influenced by his love of travel and experimentation.

Hero dishes will include:
Grilled potato flatbread with homemade cultured butter�Mussels skewers with roasted chicken wings in butter sauce�Blackened leeks with muhammara and XO sauce�Slow-cooked short rib with date demi-glaze.

The self-taught chef grew up in his native Turkey where he loved to cook with his Grandfather. A greasy spoon pot washing job led to multiple roles in back and front of house before Murat launched successful café/bistro, Route in Dalston in 2012 (now sold) and then Amber, also near Aldgate East, in 2018.

Chris Harrod from The Whitebrook Restaurant with Rooms on supporting

“The concept of Streetsmart and the addition of just an optional £1 to every bill is so simple and yet does so much to help some of the most in-need people in the country. The majority of us can't even imagine being forced to live without a safe and secure home so we're really happy to be supporting this campaign to make a difference to those that are."
