Black axe underground free#
And that’s before you’ve even tasted it.Ī seasonal menu (so at least four trips a year is a must), we opted for the free range pork shawarma and the paneer bab, cooked on a wood and charcoal-fired robata and both with a side of their infamous fondue fries. Presented in an ‘open-sandwich’ style with the fillings delicately laid out over a perfectly floured, home-made flatbread, the word ‘renaissance’ was forever ringing in our ears. And that’s just the restaurant. The kebabs themselves are almost too beautiful to eat. Simple, elegant and damn cool, Le Bab oozes sophistication. Don’t let ‘Michelin starred chefs’ scare you off, though – not all sensational food is followed by a sensationally ginormous food bill. Located in Kingly Court, Le Babis a ‘kebab renaissance project’, using Michelin starred chefs to bring London an exquisitely delicious new take on the ancient dish. These Soho-based Shawarmas will have you salivating more than ‘Stavros the Stallion’ ever could. But then again how can you really go wrong with Chocolate Biscuit Cake and Greek coffee ice cream? Suvlaki proves with effortless style that less is so, so much more. There’s only one dessert on the menu and unsurprisingly, it’s totally divine. The meat is succulent and perfectly seasoned but the ultimate show stealer has to be the vegetarian skewer: that hot Mastelo cheese and honey made a melting moment in our mouths that we will never forget. The feta on the Greek salad is that crumbling, salty deliciousness that you can never find in the supermarkets and the tzatziki is the perfect balance between creamy and crunchy – mopped up with a crispy, charred pita and you might just find yourself in heaven. We opted for the Suvlaki Exuberance, a huge sharing platter of two skewers, two mini wraps, four sides and a pita burger, which we guarantee you won’t be able to finish – always a welcome defeat when the whole shebang is only setting you back £17 per person. As you would expect from a restaurant named after the country’s national street food, the menu is limited choose from 4 wines and a few imported beers and an array of skewered meats, served either in a pita or as they come. Situated slap bang in the middle of Soho, Suvlaki is a one-room restaurant, with a flaming robata-style grill and graffiti-scribbled walls. Finally, a Greek restaurant in London that actually smells of Greece. We thought it would always take an uncomfortable Easy Jet flight and a few bad tan lines to finally reach that feeling of total holiday bliss, when you’re sitting at a taverna on the beach, with a cold Mythos in hand and the smell of charcoal-grilled meat cooking in the air. Posh kebabs? Now there’s some gentrification we can really get behind. The ultimate drunk food just got the London treatment. Just like burgers and fried chicken, this year kebabs have undergone a bit of a transformation, becoming the new gastro food that has people queueing around the streets of Soho. Thought kebabs were just one of the many bad decisions made on a drunken night out on the town? Think again.
