Maginhawa Group was born from a simple yet powerful idea—food as a bridge between cultures, communities, and generations. It all started in 1987, when Chef Omar Shah’s father opened Bintang in Kentish Town, introducing bold Southeast Asian flavors to London. More than a restaurant, it was a symbol of resilience, heritage, and hospitality.

Named after the Filipino word for ‘comfort,’ Maginhawa Group is more than just a collection of eateries—it’s a movement. Every dish tells a story, every space invites belonging, and every restaurant adds to a legacy built on passion and purpose. From one small eatery to an expanding culinary family, Maginhawa Group proves that food isn’t just about eating—it’s about experiencing, sharing, and coming home.
