Ennismore duo to launch DakaDaka in Mayfair

A new Georgian-inspired wine bar and restaurant will open its doors on Heddon Street, Mayfair, this November.

DakaDaka is the debut London project from Berkeley Square Hospitality, a new venture led by Giorgi Mindiashvili and Mitz Vora. 

Formerly of Ennismore, the duo previously led the development and openings of Hoxton hotels and London restaurants, including Tandoor Chop House, Egg Break, Breddos Tacos Soho and Seabird. 

DakaDaka's offering

At its heart, DakaDaka offers a modern interpretation of Georgian culinary tradition. Dishes centre around open-fire grilling, native Georgian ingredients and seasonal British produce. The drinks list features a selection of 100 Georgian natural wines, curated by Honey Spencer, alongside Georgian beers and bespoke ChaCha-based cocktails. 

The 110-cover space spans two floors and includes a bar and dining room. The space will also host private dining and regional wine tasting events, including sessions featuring Georgian-made clay Qvevri amphora.

"DakaDaka is a project we’ve been building toward for years," says Mindiashvili. "Georgian food is rich in history and soul, and we’ve long felt there was space in London to showcase it with care and precision."
