Baba Ghanouj is a Lebanese restaurant in South Kensington, approximately two minutes from Gloucester Road Underground station. It brings traditional Lebanese flavours to a central location used by local residents, families and visitors exploring nearby Kensington attractions.
The selection spans Lebanese breakfast dishes, manakeesh, salads and both hot and cold appetisers. These categories allow diners to build a meal around several shared plates or choose more substantial dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Vegetarian and vegan diners are offered a broad range of choices rather than only a small number of alternatives. Freshly prepared bread and familiar Lebanese ingredients support a style of eating that works particularly well for families and groups sharing several dishes.
The restaurant opens seven days a week from morning until late in the evening. Customers can reserve a table, place an order for food or use the restaurant’s own app, giving them several ways to enjoy its Lebanese cooking.
Address: 105 Gloucester Road, South Kensington, London SW7 4SS, United Kingdom
