Le Bab Covent Garden is the second restaurant from the modern kebab brand that started in Kingly Court, Soho, in 2016. It is on Mercer Walk, a pedestrian lane off Mercer Street in Covent Garden.
This is a modern take on the kebab rather than a traditional Turkish kebab house. The menu matches Soho: flatbreads filled with chicken shish, salt beef brisket, lamb steak with harissa labneh or tikka paneer, with sides such as hummus, halloumi, charred leeks and molten cheese fondue.
It suits a casual lunch, a pre-theatre dinner or an easy meal before drinks in Covent Garden.
