Step into House 21, the newest enclave within Home House’s trio of Georgian townhouses, and find Kamaña, a dining experience inspired by sumaq kawsay, the Latin American ethos of “good living.” Every Wednesday to Saturday, 6 pm–11 pm, this refined restaurant welcomes a select few to savour a rich tapestry of flavours, craftsmanship, and conviviality.
And while Kamaña is a hidden treasure, it sits within a truly exceptional setting: Home House, a sociable, inclusive private members’ club unlike any other in London. Here, eclectic and fascinating individuals bring the historic spaces to life, from the opulent salons to the Club’s best-kept secret, a spacious, secluded garden nestled within its walled courtyard. Dog-friendly and effortlessly welcoming, Home House offers a rare blend of elegance, charm and conviviality, the perfect backdrop for an evening at Kamaña.
A Sensory Celebration of Latin America
Kamaña is very much a sensorial voyage. The menu is bold, vibrant and beautifully balanced. Think bright ceviches, charred roots, smoky meats and fish and colourful, plant-led plates all made for sharing. Designed for those who graze, gather and linger a little longer, every dish feels like a moment suspended in sunshine. For example, take the seabass ceviche, delicately cured in a tomatillo Leche de Tigre, where citrus and spice awaken the palate in a single, zesty bite.
The blistered shishito peppers are rich with smoke and mellow heat, served over an herbaceous salsa verde that feels both rustic and refined.
The rock shrimp tempura, light and crisp, cut by the brightness of yuzu, is a masterclass in texture and restraint.
For something heartier, explore Kamaña’s taco collection. The tacos make up most of the menu and come in ideal sharing portions of two tacos. The lamb shoulder with mojo rojo is slow cooked to tenderness, spiced just enough to let the richness shine. The yellowfin tuna taco, with its whisper of ancho chilli and lime, is an elegant, clean counterpoint.
Even the vegetables are elevated. The smoked paprika corn ribs, kissed with smoke, deliver a satisfying, earthy depth. It’s a menu built around rhythm and generosity, flavourful enough to tempt, light enough to keep you going.
To close with a dessert, churros with miso caramel are warm, golden, delicately crisp, comforting yet unexpected.
This is a menu crafted not for haste, but for lingering, and for those who revel in the art of grazing, gathering and letting the evening unfold slowly. From the delicate acidity of ceviche kissed with tomatillo and lime, to the warmth of grilled meats wrapped in layers of spice and smoke, each dish is a celebration of contrast and craft. Rooted in quality, lifted by flair, and designed for sharing, the flavours are bold yet balanced, familiar yet surprising, always just enough to leave you longing for one more plate, one more sip, one more moment.
Drinks That Speak
At Kamaña, the drinks are as thoughtfully composed as the dishes themselves, bold, evocative, and unmistakably Latin in spirit. Each course is designed to play beautifully with Kamaña’s cocktail menu, and is created to echo and elevate the flavours on the plate. It tells a story of contrast and craft; smokiness against citrus, spice cut with sweetness, brightness softened by depth. They’re not just served, they arrive with flair.
The AUREA, a pisco cocktail brightened with mango and lime, served in a sunshine-yellow coupe and garnished with a shard of tropical fruit. Light, gently effervescent and cheerfully tart, it’s the ideal companion to fresh ceviches and plant-led plates.
Then perhaps move into something with more depth: the MORS, a smoky mezcal stirred with coffee and Campari, arrives tall in a flute, its creamy foam head dusted with spice. Dark, brooding, and aromatic, it offers richness and edge, echoing the slow-roasted warmth of Kamaña’s heartier fare.
Craving something quietly tropical? The OLMEC, a golden highball with orgeat, Everleaf Forest, and pineapple & almond soda, is a nuanced non-alcoholic choice that feels anything but secondary. Its toasted, creamy notes offer a palate-cleansing contrast that lingers beautifully between bites.
For those who prefer boldness in both glass and flavour, VULCANUS delivers a vibrant tequila cocktail laced with strawberry, orange, lime, and a flicker of chilli heat. Served short over ice and garnished with a whole red chilli, it hums with confidence and pairs effortlessly with tacos and grilled meats.
Each of these cocktails has a thoughtful, zero-proof twin, meticulously built with distilled botanicals, clarified juices, smoked infusions, and house-made citrus blends. From the AZTEC with cherry and cranberry to the INCA, bursting with guava and lime, these no-alcohol options are as delicious as their spirited counterparts. Nobody is left out of the ritual, and no drink feels like an afterthought.
Whether you’re beginning the evening with the playful floral notes of FLORA, ending with the indulgent richness of LANA, consisting of a heady mix of cachaça, banana, chocolate and milk, or returning to FAUNUS, a rum cocktail layered with hazelnut and pineapple that practically borders on dessert, Kamaña’s drink offering is a voyage in itself. From the zesty to the sultry, the cocktails at Kamaña are poured with intent and flair. They invite you to explore, indulge and, more than anything, to stay a little longer.
Refined Enjoyment in an Exclusive Setting
Spread across three grand Georgian townhouses on Portman Square, Home House blends 18th-century opulence with modern energy through the 23 characteristic and unique rooms. Originally envisioned by architect James Wyatt as a palace for pure pleasure, it now stands as a sanctuary for those who appreciate connection, culture, and the art of living well.
Set within House 21’s intimate, beautifully appointed dining room, Kamaña offers a retreat from the everyday. Amid elegant décor and softly curated lighting, conversations deepen and time slows.
Designed by the acclaimed Russell Sage Studio, the lounge is a masterclass in maximalist elegance rendered with intent. The room’s Georgian bones, soaring ceilings, ornate cornicing, tall sash windows and original wooden floors provide a regal framework, softened with theatrical flair and a touch of mischief. It is softened with playful irreverence, with velvet banquettes in burnt orange and deep teal lining the room, while antique chandeliers flicker above, casting a warm, flattering glow across marble-topped tables.
Mismatched mid-century chairs offer a nod to playful eccentricity, paired with hand-thrown ceramics lining the tables. Walls are dressed in hand-painted murals and hung with whimsical portraits in gilded frames, eclectic, opulent, and never without a wink. Each corner is a conversation starter and every detail is a reminder that this is not a place of rules, but of delight.
And yet, for all its theatre, Kamaña is deeply comfortable. There’s a tactility to everything, the soft weight of a linen napkin, the cool touch of a marble-topped table, the satisfying heft of a cocktail glass that’s been expertly chilled. It’s a space designed to draw you in, slow you down and indulge all five senses at once.
It’s a room that hums with quiet confidence. Stylish but not stiff, seductive but never overstated, House 21’s design invites you to stay awhile, whether for a lingering dinner, a second cocktail, or simply the pleasure of being exactly where you want to be.
