Customers describe Impala as a 'hot' and 'exciting' restaurant in London, with many finding it difficult to secure a table. The food is consistently praised as 'amazing,' 'delicious,' and 'fun to try,' with specific dishes like Sheftalia and Ftira receiving high acclaim. Service is frequently highlighted as 'incredible,' 'delightful,' and 'excellent,' with staff members like Billie, Jasmine, George, and Rah receiving individual commendations for their knowledge and hospitality. The ambiance is noted as 'beautiful' and 'buzzing' without being overwhelming.
Impala is the culmination of years of work, research, travel, and sourcing by Meedu Saad, who developed the concept with Benjamin Chapman. The culinary vision is deeply personal, rooted in Saad's memories of the Red Sea, shellfish foraging, beach grilling, and desert drives. The restaurant aims to create a place for people to enjoy and create special memories.
Given its popularity and status as a 'hot' spot, it is highly recommended to book a table well in advance (up to 28 days). Kitchen counter seats are available for walk-in guests, offering an alternative for those who prefer to drop by.
