History

Andy Oliver and Mark Dobbie first met in London in 2009 working at Nahm under David Thompson. Oliver, Dobbie and co-founder Tom George opened som saa as a year-long pop-up in London Fields in 2014. This was followed by a crowdfunding campaign, which allowed them to open the permanent restaurant in Spitalfields in 2016.[1]

In May 2025, the restaurant was forced to close after a kitchen fire.[2] It reopened in November 2025.[3]

Reception

The restaurant has received good reviews from food critics.[4][5][6]

Som saa won Best Restaurant at the London Restaurant Festival in 2016[7] and 4th Best Restaurant in the National Restaurant Awards 2017.[8]
