YOYA Kitchen
Two spaces, one house
Option to book both spaces throughout the day or evening. Dinner in YOYA, music performance, film screening, dancing or discussion in the Salon.
YOYA
Our restaurant. Available to book for a private event on its own, or together with the Salon for a full buyout of the Casa. Seats 25, or 40 standing.
Dinner is cooked and served by YOYA Kitchen team.
The Salon
The heart of the house. Exposed beams overhead, columns, and the mezzanine looking over all of it. Long tables for a seated dinner, rows of chairs for a screening, or cleared entirely for a party.
The projection screen drops over the stage with a sound system connected.
The Majlis in the Salon
A sunken floor ringed with cushions and rugs, the way a room for sitting long is built at home. It is where people end up when the plates are cleared.
Good for after-dinner, for a listening session, for a small circle that wants to talk until late.
The Mezzanine in the Salon
Facing the stage, behind a white railing. Small tables, quiet corners, and the best view of whatever is happening below.
Often used as seating for a large dinner, the mezzanine is a main gathering point for groups.
Dinners, weddings, launches, workshops
The Casa is available for seven nights a week and on daytimes through the week.
Private dinners
Seated in the Salon, cooked by YOYA Kitchen. You have your pick of mezzeh to share or main dishes, and we work with you to create a personalised set menu for your guests.
Weddings and Celebrations
Ceremony, dinner and party in one building, with the majlis for the end of the night. We work as venue and caterer together.
Launches, Screenings or Talks
Book launches, film screenings, panels and listening nights. The screen and sound system are already here, and so is a team that runs this programming weekly.
Workshops or Classes for Daytime Hires
Team offsites, creative workshops, rehearsals and shoots, in a room that photographs well. Full privacy for daytime hires when the house is otherwise quiet.
