Le Bab Covent Garden

Found off Mercer Street, Le Bab is bringing a contemporary twist to Middle Eastern kapsalon. Shaking up Covent Garden with their unique approach to kebabs, this modern space is a winner all around, from the cocktails to the food and everything in between.

Dining-counter seating allows you to watch charcoal-fired meats being carved and find out what makes them so special. Don't be fooled New Age kebab techniques are a sight to behold. From the café to the Lambshank Redemption, each meal is a joy to not only consume, but experience too.

Food is the real star of the show here. Comprising of small plates, these are far from your average lamb donner from the bottom of a pint glass. Innovative techniques using ingredients such as truffle oil mean creators of the Le Bab dishes have really thought outside the box. With this inventive thinking, it's no surprise they've scooped Best Newcomer in the British Kebab Awards.

Drinks of course, follow the same path. Chase vodka mixed with fermented juice second that intrigued look our toothsome drink offers give it a try and you won't be sorry. To rub salt - or should we say hummus? - into the wound, the downstairs lounge is open until 3 am most evenings for private hire events and late-night parties (oh, and there's also a suntrap terrace perfect for summer months too). Good food, drinks and anonymous debauchery, we've been on the hunt for this combination since a wise woman once said, "With these kebab plates, all I know is I know that I want you. With your lamb chop, yup with you.
