The Portman Estate and Derwent London have agreed two restaurant deals with Pachamama Group at Loxton Walk – a new retail, wellness and dining destination in Marylebone.
At 96 George Street, a prominent corner flagship with dual frontages onto George Street and Loxton Walk, the group will open a 6,000 sq ft all-day dining venue – its largest restaurant venture in London to date – which will be home to Soraya, a Persian-inspired restaurant first conceived in Abu Dhabi. The concept is centred around gathering at the table, sharing plates and a contemporary interpretation of Persian cooking.
Next door, at 8 Loxton Walk, the group will open a new street food dining concept in a 1,200 sq ft unit. The brand and cuisine details have not yet to be revealed.
Puja Dowlani, retail associate director at The Portman Estate, said: “The Pachamama Group is a welcome addition to Loxton Walk bringing not one, but two new signature concepts to our new destination. Their reputation for creating warm and beautifully executed dining experiences aligns perfectly with the kind of independent, innovative, stand-out F&B operators we champion across our neighbourhood.”
Tom Knight, portfolio director at The Portman Estate, added: “Loxton Walk, our newest addition to the Portman Marylebone portfolio, was designed to attract distinctive, best-in-class brands, and Pachamama Group embodies that ambition. Their largest London restaurant to date, paired with a new street food concept, will anchor the development with a compelling blend of creativity and scale. We’re proud to support operators who contribute to Marylebone’s evolving food culture, and these new additions will play a key role in shaping Loxton Walk as a standout destination within the estate.”
A spokesperson for Pachamama Group said: “It’s a new chapter for the group – one we wanted to start somewhere that mattered. Marylebone has long been part of our story, and this next step allows us to grow while staying true to how we think about food, design and its atmosphere. The larger all-day restaurant is shaped by experiences and influences that began beyond London, now being thoughtfully reinterpreted closer to home, while the other allows us to explore something more immediate, playful and neighbourhood-led.”
