Chand (pictured above with Sid) tell us, "We took this photo when we first opened Kol in November 2022. Going into business is always a risk but if you don’t try you have no chance to succeed. We are happy we tried.
"We are sad to announce the imminent closure of KOL. The restaurant’s last service will be dinner service on Sunday 11 May, Mother’s Day. We encourage you to use up any active vouchers by this date. A big thank you to everyone who has supported us in our journey.
"KOL/LAB will be taking applications from today until Sunday 27 April. KOL/LAB is a hospitality incubator for a new concept. We would like to invite hospitality professionals interested in taking over the space, with no lease commitment, use of our fit-out and chattels, and mentorship from Sid and Chand Sahrawat and support from the Restaurant Association.
"Applications spanning all kinds of concepts are welcomed, from traditional restaurant to fast service, bakery, pub or bar. A panel of experts will assess applications, ensuring fairness. The head of the Restaurant Association @marisabidois, restaurateur and media personality @albrownchef, and owner and editor of Cuisine magazine @kellibrett will make up the panel and we thank them for their contribution. We hope to complete the selection process and implement the new KOL/LAB with its creator by June."
