Le Bab Battersea

We’re 3 friends – Stephen, Ed, and Manu – who have been making innovative kebabs for the last 8 years. Our project is simple – we’re bringing new techniques, ideas, and ingredients into one of the world’s greatest and oldest dishes. Stephen met Ed at University, where they shared many late-night kebabs. Ed met Manu at Le Gavroche, where they were cooking 2 Michelin-star classical French food. We all loved kebabs and loved eating some of the amazing Turkish, Lebanese, Persian, and South Asian kebabs that London had to offer.

​The idea was to bring some of the principles of fine dining into the kebab, and in doing so, make something brand new. This meant channeling world-class produce and some unusual techniques into our cookery. We launched in Soho in 2016, religiously applying phenomenal, seasonal British produce into our food. This was challenging in winter, but we made it work, and people loved it. In 2019, we launched our fine dining flagship concept restaurant, Kebab Queen. In Kebab Queen we use a revolutionary style of service to bring you closer than ever to your food and your chef.
