The Waney family first started restaurants in London 15 years ago - beginning with Zuma in Knightsbridge, followed by Roka an ... d La Petite Maison. More recently, they acquired and revamped The Arts Club on Dover Street, Oblix at The Shard and Coya on Piccadilly. These are award winning, internationally recognised industry benchmarks. ` The concept behind Meraki stemmed from the Waney family’s special affinity for Greece, developed whilst vacationing with friends on the islands. They were enamored by the quality of ingredients, flavour some food and being enveloped with warmth by staff. Meraki is a modern Greek restaurant with a cosmopolitan flare and quality ingredients. It exudes style, warmth and meticulous attention to detail. Meraki describes the action to fulfil a vision with unwavering devotion and zeal, and represents a part of ourselves in every step of the creative process. This ties in with the ethos of our brand, the principle of Greek hospitality (Xenia) of compassionately extending the same hospitality to a humble stranger as you would to a celebrity. The human element and social responsibility is deeply ingrained in the family’s value system and practices. read more
