MODERN FOOD TALES
OF ANCIENT GEORGIA
10 HEDDON STreet
A RESTAURANT
CENTURIES IN
THE MAKING
From Georgia To London
From the Georgian Caucasus Mountains and the streets of Tbilisi through to the hustle and bustle of London’s Mayfair. DakaDaka is nestled on the renowned Heddon Street, set over two floors with a private dining room. The spirit of Georgia has arrived.
a passionate name
“DakaDaka” is a word difficult to translate to English. It mimics the sounds of fiery conversations most often shared at full dinner tables with close companions after many glasses of wine. We chose this name because it captures perfectly the spirit of Georgia: passionate, proud, present.
georgian cuisine,
reimagined
authentic honest food
Centred around Georgia’s ancient beginnings and rooted in simple values, our food focuses on authentic staple dishes and honest flavours of Georgian life, paired with exceptional produce and quality meats from the British Isles. Alongside, a few original takes on much-loved recipes.
a modern-day
‘sasadilo’
a georgian dining room
We wanted to create a cosy, modern-day sasadilo [a Georgian dining room]; where personality is found in the small touches, not overly-elaborate fittings or shiny features. We see the restaurant as a modern-day viewing platform into Georgian life: rooted in a beloved, ancient culture but entirely forward-looking.
Our restaurant is situated over two floors. On the ground floor, an open-plan kitchen with central hearth, bar, khinkali cauldrons and a wood-burning oven. Downstairs, cosier corners, a bar and an intimate dining room for private events. Within both, a warm welcome that encapsulates Georgian’s proud and treasured tradition of hospitality.

Picture this. A dinner table, tightly packed with friends, family members, loved ones. Bowls and plates fill the table. Somewhere, music plays. And then, across the table, an uncle and his best friend start to discuss politics, love and religion. Stakes are high. The exchange is good-natured but heated. Words fly, quicker and quicker. DakaDakaDakaDaka. Passions rise until someone intervenes, handing each of them a shot of Chacha. They smile and cheers, to the laughter of the rest of the table. The debate is over. No winner is declared.
