The team behind the Arabica Food & Spice Company is to launch a new restaurant venture, Arabica Bar & Kitchen, in London’s Borough Market next April.

The company, which is led by Jad al Younis and James Walters, said the new restaurant will offer meze dishes and cocktails.

Arabica, which has grown from being a stall at Borough Market to a retail and catering business, describes itself as an “importer, producer, caterer & purveyor of East Mediterranean exotica”.
