The Bunyadi: London’s only naked restaurant receives first reviews ahead of public opening

London’s only naked restaurant has received its first reviews as diners experienced the all-natural, “Pangaea-like” eatery ahead of its public opening this month.

The Bunyadi, is the first restaurant in the capital offering an entirely natural dining experience, operating without electricity and gas, serving food on handmade clay plates with edible cutlery and asking diners to cast off their mobile phones and even their clothes, if they want to.

Upon entering The Bunyadi guests are taken to a private room where they may change into a gown, which they can wear or remove during the meal. There is also a “clothes” section for those who wish to remain dressed while dining.

Customers will be served vegan and non-vegan dished accompanied by organic, preserve-free wine under “a canopy of candle lights”, with the wood-hewn tables and chairs discreetly partitioned with bamboo and wicker screens.

Already boasting a waiting list of 44,200 people, The Bunyadi is set to open up to the public on 11 June at an undisclosed venue and the first diners, invited as part of its “soft opening”, have given overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Kashan Kafoor, wrote on the restaurant’s Facebook page: “I felt welcome as soon as I stepped into the unmarked building. Along with the (optional) nudity and raw foods comes the ban of devices, I definitely felt more engaged with my company and our waitress - a rule I'd like to see more restaurants adopt. I have never had a more comfortable dining experience.
