OUR STORY

We started in Soho in 2016, after running street food stalls around London. We never had a family kebab shop, or a grandmother’s recipe. The kebabs got built seasonally from scratch, borrowing whatever flavours and techniques worked together. It was a completely new thing. 10 years later, it’s not a new thing anymore. The menu changes, but we’ve been feeding people hummus, paneer kebabs, chicken shish and fondue fries for a decade. We’re still borrowing. And it’s still a kebab restaurant.

OUR STORY

Hummus, Paneer Kebab, Chicken Shish and fondue fries have been on the table since Soho. Le Bab opened there in 2016 after street-food stalls around London. No family kebab shop. No inherited recipe book. We built it from scratch and kept the name simple. The menu has changed with the seasons and the city. Soho became Covent Garden, then counters across London. Some dishes came and went. The hummus stayed. The paneer stayed. Ten years on, the kebab label still does too.
