OMA
inspired by the simplicity + serenity of the greek isles, by way of the levant and wider mediterranean.
OUR JOURNEY
in 2022, david takes a series of formative trips to greece and turkey where the flavours, people and geography he encounters inspire a future project.
2023. we secure a dream site in borough market and begin work with long-term creative partners, box 9, to reimagine the space into OMA restaurant. the size of it warrants a split between two concepts: AGORA is born, an athenian-inspired souvla bar, destined for the ground floor, with OMA on the upper level.
simultaneously, we workshop our menu in a series of rented test kitchens by blending together all the dishes we sampled on our journeys with the support of a team of chefs.
after 12 months of ideating, 6 months of building, OMA opens its doors on 16 april 2024.
by the end of our first 8 months of opening, OMA is named on the best new openings of 2024 by Hot Dinners and secures a position on the Michelin guide.
