Sohaila is a mission driven restaurant and wine bar on Shoreditch High Street, inspired by the food and hospitality of Lebanon. The intimate dining room serves contemporary Middle Eastern plates in a format that encourages guests to share several dishes across the table.
The kitchen changes its menu every week, prioritising seasonal, local and sustainably sourced ingredients. Vegetable dishes, grilled meats, seafood and breads are approached with the herbs, spices, pickles and bright sauces associated with Lebanese cooking, so the experience can shift naturally with the produce available.
A carefully selected list of low intervention wines is central to the restaurant rather than an afterthought. Bottles and wines by the glass are chosen to accompany the menu's varied flavours, while the bar setting also makes Sohaila suitable for a drink and a few smaller plates.
The restaurant supports Fat Macy's programme for Londoners living in temporary accommodation. Trainees gain culinary and front of house experience alongside individual support, meaning a meal here contributes to a practical route towards stable housing and employment as well as providing a thoughtful Shoreditch dining experience.
Address: 232 Shoreditch High Street, Shoreditch, London E1 6PJ, England
