Christmas at Maison Hana by Ameerah offers a lively alternative to the usual festive meal, combining Japanese-inspired food, cocktails, shisha and late-night entertainment in Fulham. Groups can book one of the restaurant’s terrace spaces or arrange exclusive use of the wider venue for larger celebrations with friends, family or colleagues.
The 1979 Terrace has a lighter, more open feel, with green and white striped seating, festoon lights and plenty of planting, while the Rose Terrace is darker and more cocooning. Deep red walls, botanical fabrics, fairy lights and small table lamps create a warm glow, and the terrace looks out towards the greenery of the Common. Both spaces already have plenty of atmosphere, so they work particularly well for Christmas parties without needing any additional decoration.
Food moves away from the standard turkey-and-trimmings format, making Maison Hana a good choice for groups after something more contemporary. Sharing dishes might include katsu chicken or beef bao buns, beef carpaccio, seared tuna salad, salmon robata skewers and Hana teriyaki chicken. Sushi can be added to the table too, with options such as dragon veggie rolls, chicken katsu rolls, fire rolls, spicy California rolls and sashimi. Desserts include Hana tiramisu and vanilla blossom panna cotta.
Drinks can be shaped around the celebration, with signature cocktails such as Straight from Japan and Mr Wasabi served alongside a selection of mocktails, wine and soft drinks.
Live music and other entertainment help give Christmas parties here a sociable, buzzy feel, with the option to keep the evening relaxed over dinner or turn it into something livelier as the night goes on. For groups looking for a festive gathering with good food, cocktails and a less traditional setting, Maison Hana offers plenty of flexibility for festive celebrations.
