I have to say this has got to be one of the best vegetarian restaurants I have been to. The food was amazing especially the halloumi, confit potato latkes, baba ganoush, lafa flatbreads. The service was very good and our waitress was super friendly and explained what some of the dishes were. Although on the slightly high price range, this place serves fresh quality food. The atmosphere between 12pm and 3pm was very buzzing and lively. Clearly a popular place for a reason. Will definitely be back and recommend to friends. Came as a solo diner and the experience was amazing. Had the set vegetarian menu and everything was delicious, come hungry as there was alot of food! The food arrives quickly and fresh, the salad and the Laffa were highlights for me. :) The staff are what really make it, super friendly and obviously care alot about what they do. As a solo diner they made me feel incredibly welcome! Thank you! ♡ Gorgeous gorgeous vegetarian and vegan meal. First time here and I can't fault it. The service was warm, attentive and friendly, nothing was too much. I wish I had made a note of the 3 people who served us, I think one was the manager. They were so helpful about the 'Bubala knows best' set menu and accommodating with a vegan and vegetarian mix for the 3 of us. The food is incredibly tasty. We all loved it. Each dish tastes different and I couldn't choose a favourite. The mango and chilli drink is delicious. I can't wait to go back and a cookbook is coming out in October!

When I say this is the ONLY meal I captured on my 10-day trip to London!!! Let this speak VOLUMES about this spot — it’s my very favourite restaurant in LDN and I’m not even veggie/vegan! 🤯🤯🤯 Bubala is giving organic/healthy meets sexy/sultry and I am positively OBSESSED! ❤️‍🔥 • LOCATION:📍Soho (they also have locations in King’s Cross and their OG spot in Spitalfields!) • DISH OF THE DAY: without a single doubt the baba ganoush - we were salivating over the rich depth of flavour 🤤 Special mention also has to be made for the smacked cucumbers - wow! 🥒 • FLAVOUR: 12/10 - foodie witchcraft. Outstanding flavours! Creative, unique, moreish x1000 🔥 • PRESENTATION: 10/10 - beautiful, and authentic feeling! Perfect for sharing • VALUE FOR MONEY: the set/tasting menu can feel a little pricey but if there are just 2 of you I think it’s worth it. For £33/pp for 5 of us, including wine, we were stoked (and very full!) • SERVICE: 8.5/10 - our waitress was very sweet! Food came at the perfect pace • VIBES: 8.5/10 - it’s moody and earthy which feels so on-brand! Both their Spitalfields and Soho locations do feel a bit cramped but that’s just London buildings for ya! • GOOGLE RATING: 4.6 - could even see this being higher 👀 • BEST FOR: Middle Eastern food, sharing plates, veggies/vegans, flavour-packed dishes • WOULD I RECOMMEND IT TO A FOODIE FRIEND? Legit my fave foodie spot in London 🫳 🎤 If you are looking for DAILY videos on the best places to EAT, SEE and VISIT as a foodie then come find me on socials @octavia.overseas! 💁🏼‍♀️🇪🇸💫 🚨 You can also download my Foodie Google Maps Guides totally for FREE from my IG/TikTok bio! 🗺️

Came as soon as it opened on a weekday evening so we were lucky to be seated at the bar without a reservation. The service was excellent and the food was great too but nothing show stopping. The pita and laffa bread with hummus and baba ganoush were delicious and worth a visit just for that! We also tried the aubergine and peppers dishes and they didn’t taste bad but wasn’t really impressed…feels like they went for creativity over taste! Special mention to the lemon and fennel drink which was amazing and super refreshing! Nonetheless, will be back just for the bread and dips 🤭
