We’re bringing a small piece of Yemen’s embroidery heritage to the Qima website through a one-of-a-kind collection of hand-embroidered bags, pouches and cushion covers, created through YENOF’s embroidery programme.
Founded in 2013, YENOF supports women from low-income households in Yemen by creating opportunities to learn, work and contribute to their family income, helping their children stay in education.
The programme also helps preserve a craft at risk of disappearing. Women artisans study traditional Yemeni stitches, motifs, designs and colour palettes from different governorates, documenting and reworking them so the knowledge can pass to a new generation. Many of today’s makers are the educated daughters of YENOF’s original participants, carrying the craft forward as something living, not only remembered.
You may have seen embroidered cushions from the same programme in our cafés. This small collection continues that story.
Each item is handmade, with only one piece available of each design. All proceeds go directly to YENOF.
Available now on the Qima website. Link in bio.

Fall-apart short rib. Deeply spiced roast chicken. Weekends only at Covent Garden.
The Slow-Braised Short Rib is cooked low and slow until it pulls apart at the touch of a fork, set over cauliflower purée with carrots glazed in Yemeni Sidr honey, crispy puffed rice, and micro herbs. Beside it, the Qima Hadhramaut Roasted Half Chicken, brined and spiced, roasted until the skin turns deep and golden, finished with a shiitake velouté and Qima house gravy.
Two roasts worth building a weekend around. Served 10 to 5.

Have you made your booking for the weekend?
The parfaits are on the menu for a limited time, weekends only, and the only way to have one is to reserve a seat. Each is built in layers, sorbet, gelato, compote, cream, crunch, and meringue, every one calibrated for colour, texture, and temperature as much as flavour.
Two to choose from: the Honeydew Melon & Matcha, and the Strawberry, Raspberry & Pistachio.
At Qima Café Covent Garden. Book your seat via the link in bio.

From the outside, two identical cruffins. Crisp, golden, cross-laminated, made in house. The difference is what's waiting inside.
One holds a blackberry and bay leaf cream, dark and aromatic. The other, matcha and white chocolate, soft and green.

The best bite is the one that goes all the way down.
Each parfait is built in layers, sorbet, gelato, compote, cream, crunch, and meringue, and the whole thing is designed for a single spoon dragged from top to bottom. Every layer in one mouthful, calibrated for colour, texture, and temperature as much as taste.
Two to choose from: the Honeydew Melon & Matcha, and the Strawberry, Raspberry & Pistachio. At Qima Café Covent Garden. Weekends only, by booking. Reserve your seat via the link in bio.

We put a bay leaf in a cruffin. Then we made a matcha one, just to be safe.
Two new cruffins. Start wherever you like.

Two new cruffins, and no easy way to choose between them.
The Blackberry & Bay is dark and aromatic, blackberry running through a bay leaf cream. The White Chocolate & Matcha is its opposite, soft, green, and mellow. Both in a crisp, cross-laminated shell that shatters when you bite.
Two to try. One won't be enough.

Weekend plans, sorted. Two parfaits. Far too many layers to count. And absolutely no reason to share.

Available weekends only at Qima Café Covent Garden, by booking.

If you’re ordering the Yuzu & Basil Tart, this is the coffee to have with it.
The tart is sharp and citrus-led, with white chocolate softening the yuzu and a basil-soaked almond sponge at its centre. Alongside it, Colombia La Pradera Red Berry brings Concord grape, peach and fruit pastille, finishing with a bright lemonade lift.
The flavours meet in all the right places, making both feel brighter and more precise.
Yuzu & Basil Tart + Colombia La Pradera Red Berry.
Available now at Covent Garden and Fitzrovia.

The Yuzu and Basil Tart.
A sablé tartlet built around yuzu, the citrus that sits somewhere between lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Bright and sharp against delicate white chocolate, with a basil-soaked almond sponge at its centre and edible flowers on top.
Available now at Covent Garden and Fitzrovia.

Avocado toast, but the toast is a croissant.
Smashed avocado with honey and lemon, piled onto golden croissant toast, then topped with your choice of zhug scrambled or poached eggs. The zhug, a Yemeni green chilli and herb sauce, is what lifts it from familiar to worth-ordering.
On the brunch menu at Qima Café Fitzrovia. Weekdays 10 to 3, weekends 10 to 5.
