About Kima
Kima is a practical Marylebone pick when location and easy booking matter more than awards or a documented chef-led format. It suits solo diners, couples, low-friction central London meals; cross-shop Fishworks - Marylebone, Fischer's, OPSO, Lita, Orrery if you need a clearer cuisine brief or a more defined spend level.
Kima is a London venue with verified opening hours across Tuesday to Sunday and a smart casual dress code. The available confirmed details are useful for planning the timing of a visit, but they do not verify a cuisine, chef, price point, seat count, menu format, awards, booking difficulty, or private-room setup. Treat this page as a practical planning note rather than a full critical profile.

Kima is closed on Monday. Dinner is listed Tuesday to Saturday from 5–11:30 PM, with Sunday dinner from 5–10 PM. Lunch is listed Thursday to Sunday from 12–3:30 PM. The dress code is smart casual.

Who should choose it, who should cross-shop
Kima is easiest to assess on schedule and dress code: it offers lunch from Thursday to Sunday, dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, asks for smart casual dress. Beyond that, the verified details here do not establish the venue's cuisine, price, service style, or group capacity, so guests with a specific brief should confirm those points before committing.
For comparison within London, you can also look at Fishworks - Marylebone, Fischer's, OPSO, Orrery, or Lita. Use those names as a shortlist for further checking rather than as a claim that Kima shares a particular cuisine, price point, or format with them.
Quick reference: choose Kima if its London setting, smart casual dress code, Tuesday-to-Sunday schedule fit your plans; cross-shop if you need confirmed detail on cuisine, price, chef, menu, or room setup before booking.
