The Soho site will accommodate over 100 covers and feature a feature a bakery and retail area that serves Israeli-inspired baked goods and extended brunch and dinner menus for eat-in, takeaway and delivery.

Funds raised will be used for Capex and pre-opening costs.

The brand plans to open another restaurant before 2020 and has an exit-plan in place.

We plan an exit in three years' time when the group has three restaurants."
