The Mandarin Oriental Mayfair sets the stage for the opening of Dosa restaurant in London. This is one of the most anticipated openings this season. Acclaimed chef Akira Back helms this new chef’s table concept. Known for his bold fusion of Asian flavours with international influences, Back’s latest venture promises to bring a unique Korean-inspired dining experience to Mayfair.
Dosa’s allure lies in its intimate setting. It offers just a few seats around a chef’s table, allowing diners to witness the culinary magic up close. This exclusive format enables Chef Back and his team to deliver a highly personalized experience. Here, each dish is crafted and presented with flair. The open kitchen fosters a sense of connection between the chefs and diners, making the meal as much a performance as it is a culinary journey.
The restaurant draws heavily from Back’s Korean heritage, blending traditional flavours with modern techniques and international inspirations. The emphasis is on innovation, with dishes that challenge expectations while remaining rooted in Korean cuisine’s comforting, bold flavours.
One of Dosa’s unique aspects is its focus on wine pairings. The restaurant has curated an extensive wine list featuring Old World and New World selections. This list complements the bold flavours of the Korean-inspired menu. The sommelier team works closely with Chef Back to craft pairings that enhance the dining experience. They offer guests the chance to explore various wines that highlight each dish’s nuances.
Dosa at the Mandarin Oriental is a whole sensory experience where innovative Korean cuisine meets global flair, all set in an intimate and engaging environment.
Dosa Restaurant London Menu
The menu at Dosa reflects Chef Back’s culinary philosophy. It celebrates the marriage of classic Korean dishes with global ingredients and techniques. Diners can expect a multi-course tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, ensuring the freshest and highest-quality ingredients are used throughout the year.
Signature dishes include the “Kimchi Katsu,” a modern take on the traditional Korean fermented vegetable, breaded and fried, offering a crisp texture with the tangy depth of house-made kimchi. Another standout is the “Miso Black Cod,” a dish inspired by Japanese techniques but imbued with Korean flavours. It features buttery cod marinated in miso and served with a spicy Korean gochujang glaze for an added kick.
One of the menu highlights is the “Korean BBQ Wagyu,” where premium cuts of Wagyu beef grill at the table and pair with house-made ssamjang (a traditional Korean dipping sauce) and fresh lettuce wraps.
Seafood also plays a prominent role on the menu, with dishes like the “Hokkaido Scallop with Yuzu Soy” showcasing Chef Back’s talent for balancing delicate seafood flavours with bold, tangy dressings. The “King Crab Bibimbap” is another highlight, presenting a luxurious twist on a Korean classic with sweet crab, crispy rice, and a fragrant sesame oil dressing.

He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]
