The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner - London - The Infatuation
"What It Is: A modern kebab restaurant in Covent Garden.
Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Catching Up With Mates, Lunch
A modern kebab is a bit like an electric blanket. An interesting, but potentially dangerous idea. That’s pretty much what we experienced at Maison Bab. It’s a huge spot in Covent Garden with plenty of people, and plenty of enticing menu items. Some of the food we ate - not necessarily kebab related - was nice. Doner beignets, and a mutton curry hit the spot. As did the chicken shish. Other things, like the celeriac shish, and the pork shawarma, were less nice. It’s a busy place, but that doesn’t make up for the need for a flare gun to get some attention, and we couldn’t help feel a bit meh about the whole experience.
Verdict: Good enough for a work lunch. Not good enough to go out of your way for." - sam collins, oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, eileen twum
