BabaBoom

BabaBoom brings a vibrant Eastern Mediterranean spirit to Camden’s Hawley Wharf, delivering a fresh, modern take on Middle Eastern flavours. It is the sort of place where the grills glow, the music hums and the welcome is warm, all wrapped in contemporary décor that suits both a swift lunch and a lingering evening. With a focus on simple ingredients treated with care, the kitchen champions bold, flame-kissed cooking and unfussy generosity.

Charcoal-grilled kebabs are the headline act, laid over soft flatbreads or tucked into boxes and wraps. Mezze sets the tone: sweet potato hummus with still-warm flatbread, or a chargrilled garlic za’atar flatbread that is all smoke and spice. From there, chicken shish arrives with Turkish yogurt, harissa, garlic aioli and a confetti of crispy onions, while beef brisket kofta leans indulgent with smoked cheddar and a lick of heat. Power bowls of couscous and slaw keep things light yet satisfying, with fattoush and fluffy couscous on the side, and curly fries for those in a playful mood.

To finish, a salted date caramel sundae and a cherry and cocoa halva brownie make a persuasive case for dessert. Drinks stay bright and breezy, from frozen margaritas and a classic gin and tonic to homemade frozen lemonade.

Lively, casual and just a touch elevated, BabaBoom is made for sharing, grazing and good times. It makes a fine next Camden rendezvous—follow the smoke, find the flavour, and let the kebab chase begin.
