Set within the historic walls of Somerset House, Aram brings deli, café, and restaurant together in one vibrant space. Drawing inspiration from the Eastern Mediterranean – from Syria and Turkey to Cyprus and Jordan – the menu balances the familiar and the unexpected, offering specialty za’atar croissants and halva brownies with roasted aubergine salad and labneh with poached eggs. Every dish celebrates flavour, culture, and connection.

Za’atar croissant, fried egg, Aleppo chilli, grilled sumac tomatoes, pomegranate molasses-glazed halloumi, ajvar mayo.
