Maison Bab
I realise it’s been a while since I’ve posted a restaurant review, although it doesn’t feel that long to me. You see, I had a baby a couple of months ago for those of you who didn’t know, and it feels like time has just blurred together in my baby brain. But, I would never leave you guys so I’m bringing you guys a spanking new restaurant review from a place that opened just yesterday – Maison Bab.
Maison Bab, sister of Le Bab in Kingly Court, specialises in fancy kebabs. These aren’t your usual dirty shawarma, but made using fresh and high quality ingredients – exciting stuff. So exciting that I headed down there with a friend on their second day of opening and made the most of their soft launch opening.
The Food at Maison Bab
Regarding the halal status of Maison Bab, the lamb, mutton, and chicken is halal with certification available on request, and they are cooked separately from non-halal items using different utensils. It is advised to call beforehand to request halal meat juuuust incase suppliers change and booking is a must. Here is a list of the dishes that are suitable for halal:
- Chicken shish
- Lamb adana
- Lamb, labneh, and za’atar flatbread
- Mutton curry
- And the vegetarian dishes, of course
Whilst I drooled over the prospect of eating a doner beignet (a doner doughnut, in essence) and the iskender fondue fries, I was saddened to find that the beignet is made using beef fat and the cheese fondue contains alcohol.
The total bill amounted to £40.50 for two, including drinks and service, so £20.25 each HOWEVER, we made the most of their 50% off soft launch and snagged our meal for £10.25 each instead! Maison Bab has just opened, literally as of a few days ago, and although has some fine tuning to do, it was good food at affordable prices. I say give these kebabs with a twist a go!
