MA/NA is a luxury Japanese dining concept from the Thesleff Group - the team behind acclaimed venues such as Los Mochis, LUNA Omakase, and Juno Omakase. Located in the heart of Mayfair on Upper Grosvenor Street, MA/NA promises refined Japanese cuisine, elevated cocktails, and immersive hospitality, all set within a 156-cover restaurant and bar.
Interiors by OV&CO set the tone for a dramatic dining experience, with a striking dragon-shaped banquette winding through the lounge and custom handblown Magma light sculptures adding flair to the glamorous, no-expense-spared aesthetic.
Executive Chef Leo Tanyag - who also oversees Thesleff Group restaurants such as Los Mochis, LUNA and JUNO Omakase - leads the kitchen with a menu that explores the craft and ritual of Japanese cuisine. Signature dishes include tiger shrimp tempura with creamy wasabi, teriyaki edamame with black truffle, and a luxurious king crab salad with Asian leaves, yuzu masago, pink peppercorn, truffle ponzu and caviar.
From the robata grill, expect bold flavours and premium cuts, such as bone-in ribeye with ginger, garlic and sesame soy, and M5 Wagyu seared on Himalayan salt stone, served with garlic-soy, ponzu and truffle-garlic fried rice.
As evening progresses, MA/NA transforms into a sleek cocktail bar, where resident DJs and in-house mixologists take centre stage. Overseen by Thesleff bar director Pietro Collina - also of award-winning Viajante87 - the bar champions the precision and elegance of Japanese bartending, with a curated list of cocktails, wine and sake.
The venue also offers several private hire options, including a 20-seat private dining room and an intimate open wine room for up to four guests, making it ideal for both exclusive gatherings and high-energy nights out.
