About MJMK Restaurants

MJMK Restaurants own and operate a collection of award-winning restaurants. Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango inspired by Marco’s Portuguese heritage.. In 2020, we partnered with chef Santiago Lastra to open KO, fine dining restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients. KOL has since earned a Michelin Star and was named No. 17 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

In 2022, we launched Lisboeta , premium Lisbon-inspire restaurant in Fitsrovia with renowned Portuguese chef Nuno Mendes. 2024 saw two new ventures: Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept on Heddon Street—our second collaboration with KOL Chef Patron, Santiago—and AngloThai in Marylebone, a debut restaurant from the brilliant chef John Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients. Within three months, AngloThai earned a Michelin star.
