"' Being original, creative and keeping it fun for ourselves - as well as our customers - has always been the centre of why we do this,' said Lee in a statement. 'So how do you celebrate 10 years of running a restaurant? Well, in our case, it's changing things up while it still feels good. I love and value all we have achieved with FKABAM and will continue cooking in our unique style, turning up the volume at events and future collaborations.'"
"The innovative and frankly extraordinary Black Axe Mangal - currently known as FKABAM - will be closing its Islington restaurant at the end of the year, with the final night of service on December 20. However, things aren't ending for the restaurant. Chef-patron Lee Tiernan announced that though the restaurant will be bringing a close to regular service, they will still host events in the space."
Black Axe Mangal (FKABAM) will close regular service at its Islington restaurant with the final night on December 20. The restaurant will continue to host events and will pivot toward pop-up activity within its own space. Founders Lee and Kate Tiernan plan a special event called 'A Decade of FKABAM' with details forthcoming. Chef-patron Lee Tiernan, formerly of St John Bread and Wine, built the menu around Turkish grill-inspired, nose-to-tail cooking with dishes such as squid ink and cod's roe flatbread, charred hispi cabbage with fermented shrimp butter and crispy rabbit. The team cited a difficult year and a desire to focus on family as reasons for the pause while maintaining creative work through events and collaborations.
