London restaurant grows with support from HSBC UK

A Chelsea-based hospitality business specialising in Syrian and Lebanese cuisine is expanding with support from HSBC UK. Yamal Alsham has utilised a six-figure funding package from HSBC UK to purchase and fit out a new 39,000 sq. ft restaurant in Imperial Wharf.

The restaurant features a deli, pizza, and fast-food stalls, as well as an indoor and outdoor dining facility. The space can seat 60 diners inside, with an additional 80 seats available outside. The new premises also features an events space, with the capacity to host up to 30 events each month.

As a result of the HSBC UK supported expansion, Yamal Alsham has employed a total of 48 employees and is anticipating a £5m turnover over the next 12 months.

Ioannis Antypas, head of marketing at Yamal Alsham, said, “This is a huge refurbishment for our family-run business, and we are excited to develop the hospitality experience further with the support of HSBC UK. The funding will allow existing and new patrons to enjoy an exceptional experience in Lebanese and Syrian dining and hospitality.”

Chris Chambers, area director at HSBC UK, added: “Despite the challenges faced by many in the hospitality industry throughout the last few years, Yamal Alsham has continued to grow, all while upholding its founder’s original philosophy. We are pleased to be assisting in the restaurant’s development and look forward to its continued success for many years to come.”

Founded in 1971, Yamal Alsham provides authentic Syrian and Lebanese dining, combining traditional and innovative cuisine alongside entertainment for customers.
