Editorial Review | Le Bab was everything I had hoped it would be from the first. [The] food [...] was beyond delicious. -- Giles Coren * The Times * "Kebabs [are] served unrolled on warm, home-made flatbread. And what beauties they are, fulsome and generous and dripping with joy. Because if any fast food is ready for an upmarket revamp, it's the 'bab [...] every part is lovingly cooked, or dressed, or sourced, but all combine to create something greater, a symphony of hand-held comfort tucker [...] Le Bab is rather brilliant." -- Tom Parker Bowles * The Daily Mail * "The kebabs are beautiful." -- Tania Ballantine * Time Out * "Cleverly crafted kebabs." -- Ben Norum * Evening Standard * |
