Meaning ‘perfect bite’ in Persian, Arabic and Turkish, Logma instantly went viral after opening at the end of 2025, thanks to their kofte and aubergine sandwiches, drawing hungry Londoners to queue along Goldsmiths Row for their lunch.
But for those who don’t do queues, the couple who run the joint (Ziad Halub and Farsin Rabiee), have now launched Logma Lates. Every Wednesday night, they open the doors to 18 lucky guests for a menu of true fusion food that beautifully pays homage to both Iranian and Iraqi cultures.
Logma is a celebration of heritage, flavour and culture
The bar seats six, and the long table is perfect for bigger groups or pairs who get seated together – offering a true supper club experience. So get cosy and meet like-minded diners because the food, served by the Ziad and Farsin themselves, is truly something special.
The sabzi khordan (an Iranian herb platter) centres around a block of feta, with olives, walnuts and perfectly pink radishes offering the dish both crunch and colour. Mint, basil and tarragon give it a beautifully fresh finish. Next up: oysters, dressed in spicy and zingy chilli and gondhoraj lebu citrus. But the true highlight is courgette flower dolma. A modernised iteration of Iraqi dolma, the stuffed flowers are served on top of ricotta with saffron, charred broad beans and barberries. Plates were licked clean.
Logma’s Gulf-style fish harks to Iraq’s national dish, masgouf. Here, river carp is reimagined as sea bream, with a sweet-yet-tangy tamarind glaze, alongside blistered tropea onions, fermented green chillies and crispy shallots. Iran makes its way onto the plate too, with a bright sabzi polo (Persian herb and saffron rice) complete with crunchy tahdig.
To finish, traditional mahalbiya – an orange blossom milk pudding with pistachio, and of course, tea. We are in an Iranian-Iraqi bistro, after all.
It all happens inside a space that is artsy and chic, from the floor-to-ceiling mirror to decorative lighting and lace details. The restaurant’s unique aesthetic was created in collaboration with the couple’s friends, design duo Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad and Farrokh Aman.
Logma is a celebration of heritage, flavour and culture. In a time when so much of the Middle East is framed through the lens of tragedy, it feels quietly powerful to gather around a table that tells a different story: one of generosity, creativity and joy.
The vibe: Café by day, supper club by night (on Wednesdays).
The food: Incredible Iranian–Iraqi fusion cuisine.
The drink: Expect coffees for day service and BYOB booze for Logma Lates.
Time Out tip: Logma Lates tickets are released on the last Wednesday of every month for the month ahead, and the menu changes regularly.
