Restaurant

Following the launch of the flagship Shrimp Shack restaurant in Streatham in December 2023​​, the crustacean-focused restaurant will open a second London restaurant in Camden next month as its first franchised site.

The move to Camden comes as the brand aims to tap into central London locations in order to bring its ‘build your own’ experience to a wider customer base. It also hopes to expand nationwide in the future.

Shrimp Shack will see Balal Aqil partner with fellow entrepreneurs Danny Caratella, Rish Gola and Raf Adam and is billed as a ‘high energy, vibrant and welcoming’ new brand.

The core menu centres on a ‘build your own’ experience where diners first choose their size of shrimp followed by the dip, and finally the seasoning.

Other seafood, including crab and lobster, will also be available, as well as meat choices of beef, lamb or chicken, alongside a selection of sides.
