The city centre restaurant belongs to the Mills Hill Developments group fronted by renowned chef Simon Shaw.

Habas , on Brown Street, is now set to slash its prices for a last supper on New Year’s Eve. The restaurant is slashing food and drink prices by 25%.

The underground restaurant, which opened in 2021, won plaudits for its Middle Eastern inspired small plates such as chicken tagine and traditional tzatziki.

Simon has said that although the restaurant will not open in January, there are plans a foot for a new concept which is “on the way.”

Simon , Chef Parton at Mills Hill Developments Limited, said: “As of January 2024, we have made the decision to close the doors of Habas Bar & Restaurant, however we are thrilled to announce that our Brown Street venue has an exciting new concept on the way.

“Throughout December, Habas, will continue serving up the city’s best middle-eastern cuisine, so make sure you pop in and see us. AND on New Year’s Eve, Habas, will be hosting an unforgettable celebration with 25% off food and drinks.

“We want to rejoice with all of our customers, with one final hurrah.

“We would like to thank all of our guests and reassure Habas fans that this is not the end of Habas Bar & Restaurant forever, simply a farewell from Brown Street for now.
