Le Bab Soho

Cute little place. Stunned at how incredible the Paneer Les Kebab was (5 star food). Whilst I was eating it I was already excited for the next time I get to have one. Phenomenally delicious 😍 Garlic mayo dip is amazing with the chips. My friends had the meat butter naan and it was not a winner for them. 🥂 Happy Hour didn’t have a lot of options but a good little reduction for a few drinks It is a small place, not many tables - we booked in advance. Felt like too many servers on shift with not a lot to do. I was especially surprised to see how long the drinks would take to come. The servers were very eager to take away plates and glasses, often a bit too soon. They wanted our table for a reservation later, which might explain the eager table clearing. When we ordered more drinks they came to tell us they needed our table in 20 mins - good thing we needed to leave by then anyway. I didn’t like the obligatory 12.5% service charge added on. But that paneer Les kebab was so good that’s really all I can think about. Definitely returning for that!

Been wanting to come for a while, and my expectations have been disappointingly reconciled. Food is very average is taste, and there is absolute no vibe in this place. They might be understaffed and I understand, but then the restaurant should have something planned. No music, no ambience and not even a band. Oh! And get ready for a pricey bill in your table to land.
