Named after the famed Indian street food, Kachori is expected to launch early next year at the Lendlease-managed development and will have 150 covers.
The interior designer on the project is Annabel Harrison of Fare INC, whose hospitality designs include Kolamba restaurant in Soho.
Khan has owned and operated a number of Indian restaurant including Mango Indian in London Bridge while Hussain is behind modern Indian restaurants Bandook in Bath and The Mint Room in Bristol.
“Elephant Park is an exciting new development in a diverse area of London, and we are very much looking forward to opening our restaurant, introducing visitors to our fresh and innovative take on Indian dining,” says Khan. “At Kachori, we pride ourselves on quality of cuisine, service, and experience.”
Head of place assets at Lendlease Guy Thomas adds: “As well as being another dynamic addition to Ash Avenue’s premium selection of dining options, Kachori brings a new much-loved cuisine to the area from an experienced hospitality team.
As we near completion of the letting for this phase of Elephant Park’s development, and look towards the next phase coming to market in 2023, we’re proud to welcome yet another brand which has a local footprint.”
Lendlease is delivering Elephant Park, a £2.5 billion regeneration project in Elephant & Castle, in partnership with Southwark Council. Once complete, it will include over 3,000 homes, 50 new retail and leisure units and 50,000 sq ft of workspaces, centred around a new two-acre park.
Kachori will join venues including neighbourhood pub The Rosy Hue, Mexican-fusion restaurant and bar Cheeky Chicos, and Korean-Japanese restaurant Kokoro.
