Bamboo Mat restaurant in Leyton has reopened its doors after a mini makeover and will unveil a brand new menu this May.

Inside, the venue has had a fresh lick of paint and listening to their valued customers, the interiors have been softened and made more cosy. Newly installed plush green velvet banquettes and seating have been installed alongside a sleek new backdrop of Japanese-style wood panelling and a new Peruvian-inspired seascape along one of the restaurant walls.

The latest design subtly shifts from traditional Japanese aesthetics to the vivid hues of the ocean, mirroring the innovative Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine that Bamboo Mat is known for.
Bamboo Mat Leyton opened in 2022 to instant acclaim and continue to bring a fresh perspective to Nikkei cuisine (Peruvian-Japanese fusion)

To celebrate the reopening Bamboo Mat Leyton is giving away a FREE Margarita cocktail to every diner visiting for lunch or dinner 1-7 May* and 20% off the entire menus midday – 5pm daily**.
