Baba G’s shuts Camden restaurant

Baba G’s, the Million Pound Menu featured concept, has closed its bricks and mortar restaurant after less than a year.

The Indian-inspired burger concept opened a 50-cover restaurant in London’s Camden Market last May, which shut earlier this month.

Baba G’s was founded by Liz Selway and Alec Owen and has traded in market spaces since 2008.

The team appeared on the 2019 series of Million Pound Menu where they secured a £300,000 investment from Atul Kochhar, but opened the Camden restaurant independently.

Despite turning down the money, Kochhar and fellow Million Pound Menu judge Jamie Barber have mentored the couple. 

Baba G’s continues to trade from a street food stall in Camden Market, as well as at Pop Brixton, Vinegar Yard in London Bridge, and the Mercato Metropolitano food hall in Elephant and Castle.

A statement posted across the restaurant’s social media accounts said: “Just a little announcement to say that 19 Jan is our last day trading at the Baba G restaurant before we move on! We had a super time during our popup in Camden’s North Yard - thanks [to] everyone who visited and supported our first bricks and mortar site!”

The restaurant tweeted: “Keep your eyes peeled for where the next project will be.”
