Opheem

Opheem is a progressive fine-dining restaurant in Birmingham that reimagines Indian cuisine through a contemporary lens - elevating heritage flavours with global technique and bold creativity. Founded by chef-owner Aktar Islam, Opheem has become a defining voice in British gastronomy, earning two Michelin stars for its thoughtful reinterpretation of tradition.The objective of this branding project was to express Opheem’s core philosophy: the coming together of flavours, cultures, and people through food. Central to the identity is a rough-cut circular motif - an imperfect, tactile form that symbolises unity, shared experience, and the layered journey of dining. Its raw character contrasts with refined typography and structured layouts, reflecting the balance of precision and instinct at the heart of the restaurant.Inspired by Opheem’s culinary narrative and sense of ritual, the resulting system is elegant yet expressive, designed to live confidently across menus, print, digital, and spatial touchpoints - inviting guests into an experience defined as much by connection as by cuisine.
