Le Bab Covent Garden is a modern kebab restaurant at 4 Mercer Walk. Located close to Seven Dials and the theatres of the West End, it combines the warmth and direct flavours of Middle Eastern cooking with a contemporary dining room suited to lunch, dinner and relaxed group occasions.
Kebabs are built around contrast, with char, acidity, crunch and savoury depth considered in every combination. Salt beef brisket comes with sauerkraut and gochujang relish, while chicken shish, lamb Adana and lamb steak pair carefully grilled meat with fresh vegetables, yoghurt, herbs and sauces.
The paneer kebab layers tikka paneer with beetroot, cucumber, curry mayonnaise and crisp onions, giving vegetarian diners one of the restaurant’s signatures. Hummus, baba ganoush, grilled halloumi, broccoli and seasoned fries make it easy to add mezze and sides for a larger shared spread.
Cocktails, spritzes, wine, beer and alcohol free drinks support the menu from aperitivo through dinner. Private dining and group options broaden the restaurant’s role for celebrations, while its central location and bookable tables make Le Bab practical before or after a performance.
Address: 4 Mercer Walk, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9FA, United Kingdom
