The ‘unique’ food concept opened by Misha Zelman and Ben Hedley opened its doors in Notting Hill in January 2022. Since launching, Neyba has seen ‘huge success’ with strong financial growth and a growing team of people with its premium, yet affordable offering.

The concept sees some of the country’s most reputable and famous chefs creating a collaborative menu, all under one roof. Chefs include the likes of TV chef Tony Singh MBE (south and north Indian curry’s), Miguel Barclay (Miguel’s Pizza), Yoko Nakada (Makes Miso Hungry) and world-renowned sushi master Endo Kazotushi (Japanese).

Following a successful investment round the brand plans to get to 14 London sites across the capital including Chelsea, Clapham, Hampstead, Islington, Wimbledon Village and Dulwich.

An integral proportion of the investment will see Neyba launch a tech eco system, which will include a customer facing app giving the brand lower costs, efficiencies, and greater flexibility on their offering. This tech will be used to ensure that Neyba can offer innovative services that will give customers superior opportunities to reduce their food waste and save time.

Zelman said: “What a journey this has already been for Neyba and the family we have built. This investment round will ensure the Neyba brand is at the forefront of food and the future of food consumption. We’ve partnered with some of the country’s most forward-thinking chefs and producers to create an offering unlike anything else you can find.

The ‘smart kitchens’ have been designed and supported by proprietary tech that gives the brand the ability to cook up to eight cuisines from one kitchen, with minimal labour, that will accommodate various levels of skill and reduce wastage. Each dish on the menu can be fully prepared in under six minutes.

Hedley added: “Seeing Neyba grow in West London is really thrilling and we are now ready to bring the concept to every corner of London. We’ve built a solid team that has developed and delivered an offering that we’re very proud of and think Londoners are now ready for this. We can’t wait to see Neyba grow over the next 12 months and bring delicious tasting food and our unique offering to millions of people across London.”

Neyba is currently open 12 pm -10 pm, seven days a week. For more information or to talk about investing in Neyba, please contact [email protected].
