Nela Restaurant

Welcome to the newly opened Nela Restaurant, a dining destination already creating a real buzz in Bayswater. Led by chefs whose experience includes world-renowned restaurants such as Nobu and Mr Porter, it’s easy to see why Nela was an instant success. Located within the landmark redevelopment of The Whiteley, it’s also the first restaurant to open in this impressive new building.

From the moment you arrive, the space makes an impact. The open kitchen, dramatic entrance, and vibrant dining areas all work together to create an experience that feels considered and effortless. Meaning “pure”, Nela is a philosophy that runs through everything, from the precision of the food to the carefully chosen interior details and furniture.

Inside Out Contracts worked closely with the interior design team to create the bespoke star-burst tables seen throughout the restaurant. The Starburst Oak Table Top features a distinctive radial pattern that gives each surface real character and depth, while highlighting the natural grain of the oak. Made to order, the tables can be produced in a range of shapes and sizes to suit different layouts, working just as well in more intimate settings as they do across larger hospitality spaces. A thin slice of real oak veneer adds warmth and texture to the finished piece, something we explore in more detail in our guide on veneer table tops for hospitality design.

The end result is a confident, welcoming restaurant that feels elegant. Inside Out Contracts is proud to have been part of the journey, contributing to a standout opening that sets the tone for what’s to come at The Whiteley.
