Pirana

Pirana: Japanese Peruvian plates and a live DJ, St James's.

Pirana · London

The sweet potato sushi roll turns up in review after review as the dish to order at Pirana's Nikkei kitchen on St James's Street.

Pirana sits on St James's Street, from the team behind The London REIGN show club and Mahiki-turned-TABŪ. The menu is Nikkei, Japanese technique over Peruvian flavour, served with a live DJ every night and a dress code the venue itself calls chic and sophisticated. The restaurant has been named London's Best Luxury Dining & Entertainment Experience for 2025 and 2026 by its own account.

Reviewers call out the sweet potato sushi roll and the noodles by name, and Sunday brings a bottomless brunch, Sunday Dive, with live entertainment through the afternoon. Pirana also runs a limited-run Bluefin Tuna Experience: a whole tuna cut tableside, then reworked into three dishes, available by booking.
