Bababoom Angel

Bababoom Angel brings a vibrant spark to Islington, planting its first North East London flag in Angel Central Shopping Centre. The spirit is street-side and sun-warmed, channelling Middle Eastern inspiration through flame and smoke. Pillowy flatbreads are baked daily to cradle high-quality British meat and halal chicken, while the team’s Battersea Rise, Camden and Stratford pedigree shows in the confident pacing and polished casual style.

Flavours lean bold and bright: chicken shish marinated in Turkish yogurt with harissa and garlic aioli; slow-roasted lamb shawarma with spice-soaked depth; beef brisket kofta and super green falafel for a verdant crunch. House signatures, from Baba’s Triple B Chilli sauce to sweet potato hummus, bring sweet-heat and silky texture, while chargrilled cauliflower with tahini, date molasses and pomegranate adds a fragrant lift. Power bowls layer couscous, apple slaw, mint yogurt and jeweled pops of pomegranate, and the grill keeps pace with chargrilled flatbreads, fattoush and jewelled rice on the side.

It is lively and laid-back, the kind of place where frozen margaritas and passion fruit cocktails meet salted date caramel sundaes and a cherry and cocoa brownie with vanilla ice cream. With options for vegans, those avoiding gluten and halal diners, everyone finds their groove. Swing by Angel Central or order in; kebab dreams await—follow the smoke, and bring your appetite.
