Our Story

Dar Mi Lalla Founder

Dar Mi Lalla was founded by Chef Amina, who grew up in Fez, Morocco, learning traditional recipes from her grandmother. The name "Dar Mi Lalla" means "My Lady's House" in Moroccan dialect, honoring the women who preserved these culinary traditions through generations.

After moving to London and noticing a lack of authentic Moroccan cuisine, Amina decided to share her culinary heritage with the city. She opened Dar Mi Lalla in 2020, creating a space where guests could experience not just the flavors of Morocco, but also its warm hospitality and rich cultural traditions.

What began as a small family restaurant has quickly become one of London's most beloved dining destinations, known for its authentic flavors, welcoming atmosphere, and commitment to preserving Moroccan culinary heritage.
