Aram is a new culinary venture by Syrian chef Imad Alarnab, best known for the warmly acclaimed Imad’s Syrian Kitchen. Open at Somerset House, Aram blends a café, deli, and restaurant into one inviting space, with a distinct dual identity that evolves throughout the day.By day, Aram operates as a casual yet elevated food destination, offering freshly baked Syrian pastries such as za’atar croissants, vibrant salads including aubergine salad and cauliflower salad, as well as sandwiches, dips, breads, and refined sweet bites like halva brownies and baklava. The drinks menu features traditional Syrian coffee, mint tea, cardamom-spiced coffee, and a spiced pomegranate fizz. As the day transitions into evening, Aram shifts into a relaxed dining experience, serving dinner until 9:00pm, inviting guests to unwind and enjoy the space as the river terrace comes alive.Aram is the perfect space for private dining and events with full capacity up to 90 guests.
