Bubala

We’re over the moon to announce that Bubala has been named one of ’s Happiest Places to Work 2024 🎉

We are so thrilled to be recognised for the hard work our amazing team have put into creating a fun, happy place to work - where their passion and care drive us in our continuous search of expanding their well-being and happiness every day!

Thank you to each and every one of our team for making Bubala a truly special place to work!

Here’s to the continued journey together 💚

The perfect balance of floral, sweet and spicy: our chamomile and fennel seed honey took many attempts before we settled on the ratio of dreams 💫✨

With a gooey, slightly-charred halloumi and a final douse of lemon, this dish really is a beauty.

Skewers have been a feature on our menus from the very beginning! The perfect snacks to whet the appetite before the mains arrive ✨💫

Here we have our oyster mushroom skewer, with tamari, coriander seed and our Chinese cabbage, with preserved lime & cardamom. A delightful pair you’ll find on our Bubala Knows Best menu and Mezze set menus, and of course, our a la carte! 💚

The best beginnings ❤️

Our Grapefruit ezme with tahini and pomegranate molasses is a favourite on our vegan menus at Soho ❤️

Our take on this traditional, Turkish mezze, features pomegranate molasses with spices and the more traditional chopped salad elements.

The creamy tahini brings it all together, with a rich contrast to the tang of the dressed tomatoes, onions and peppers ⚡️

We are very excited to announce that FESTIVE BOOKINGS are now live!

NEED A KITCHEN PORTER FOR TONIGHT. Is there anyone who can come ASAP?

On Monday Bubala flung open its doors for the very first time for friends and family. It's been a hugely crazy and emotional ride, full of ups and downs. And just when you think you've got it all sorted, the coffee machine explodes all over the electrics 🙄 It's been real. Massive props to our incredible team who have (almost) got us through the first week. Soft launch finishes on the 10th with just a few more spots to book, before we are open proper on the 12th. Bookings can be made on the gram, website & google. Yalla! @ Bubala

Bubala updated their address.

BUBALA HAS A HOME!

After a year and a half of sell-out pop ups at venues such as Carousel, Berber & Q and Untitled Bar, we are moving into our first permanent site.

We are a vegetarian Middle Eastern concept with a focus on bright, punchy flavours designed to share. Behind Bubala is Marc Summers (Bubala founder and ex GM of Berber & Q) and Head Chef Helen Graham, who has worked at The Palomar, The Barbary, The Good Egg and Ottolenghi.

We will be opening a 30 seater restaurant on Commercial Street, East London in the middle of August and are looking for front of house staff who are looking to thrive in this industry, with the potential to grow with Bubala!

We aren’t necessarily looking for a lot of experience but instead a positive, can-do attitude and a willingness to learn.

Please send in your CVs to [email protected] and we will be in touch!
