Restaurateur Alan Yau is opening a second site for his Turkish pizza restaurant Babaji, at the Bishop’s Quarter development in Bayswater, W2.
Babaji, which serves pide – a Turkish-style pizza – first opened in London last year on Shaftesbury Avenue, W1, and is looking to expand across the capital, opening two to three sites a year in central locations.
It has signed for a 4,500 sq ft site on a 20-year lease at the new retail and leisure quarter, which is being developed by BMO Global Asset Management.
Artistan deli Ambrosia has also signed up, taking a 2,045 sq ft unit on a 10-year lease and bringing the scheme to full capacity.
Quoting rents at Bishop’s Quarter are £50 per sq ft.
Savills acted for BMO; DeVono advised Babaji and Ambrosia.
