Chef Pavel Baranovs

Following in the footsteps of his mother and grandmother as a third-generation chef hailing from Latvia, Chef Pavel brings over 20 years of culinary experience to the UBA team. His journey began with a decade mastering Japanese cuisine, before expanding his repertoire to Pan-Asian flavours.

Beyond the kitchen, Pavel can be found fishing, and teaching his children how to be the next generation of sushi chefs.

The Design

Set within Hart Shoreditch, UBA draws inspiration from the area’s rich industrial history and its diverse community. The interior design has been carefully curated to fit seamlessly into the East London scene, creating a welcoming space for anyone seeking a Pan-Asian culinary experience in the heart of Shoreditch.

The restaurant’s vibrant structure is softened by design elements such as greenery, unique lighting fixtures, display units, and surprising art features. Raw materials and subtle earthy colours contrast with distinctive wallpaper, highlighted by a striking bar design with integrated seating.

A elliptical cocktail bar animates the entire space, surrounded by various seating, from comfortable lounges to round dining tables and high tables. This dynamic arrangement fosters communication between the bar and its surroundings.

UBA delivers high-end service and food while maintaining a casual and accessible vibe, offering a trendy, sexy, and glamorous ambiance.
