Le Bab is a kebab renaissance project founded by Stephen Tozer and Ed Brunet. Originally a street food operation, they have since opened a restaurant off Carnaby Street in London. They have reinvigorated kebabs with provenance, seasonality and technique honed in Michelin starred kitchens. Stephen laid the foundations for Le Bab's menu by experimenting with British produce and Middle Eastern flavours. Ed spent a year in stages at several Michelin-starred restaurants, before joining Le Gavroche, where he gained the key skills of classical French training. Manu Canales is head chef of Le Bab and is inspired by the intensely seasonal, ingredient-driven cookery of his childhood home in Aragon, Spain. Manu rose from first commis chef to sous chef at Le Gavroche, before joining Ed and Stephen at Le Bab. www.eatlebab.com www.instagram.com/eatlebab/

Le Bab was everything I had hoped it would be from the first. [The] food [...] was beyond delicious. -- Giles Coren * The Times * Kebabs [are] served unrolled on warm, home-made flatbread. And what beauties they are, fulsome and generous and dripping with joy. Because if any fast food is ready for an upmarket revamp, it's the 'bab [...] every part is lovingly cooked, or dressed, or sourced, but all combine to create something greater, a symphony of hand-held comfort tucker [...] Le Bab is rather brilliant. -- Tom Parker Bowles * The Daily Mail * The kebabs are beautiful. -- Tania Ballantine * Time Out * Cleverly crafted kebabs. -- Ben Norum * Evening Standard *
