Bubala Soho

Plant-led Middle Eastern on Poland Street

Bubala Soho brings the group’s bright, Middle Eastern cooking to Soho, following the original Spitalfields launch in 2019. The Soho restaurant opened on 11 July 2022 on Poland Street, created by founder Marc Summers with early menus shaped alongside chef Helen Graham. Guests can expect a relaxed room, quick service and a menu built for sharing. Fresh laffa bread, silky hummus, crisp salads and skewers lead the way, with dishes designed to mix and match. Everything is vegetarian with many vegan options, and the drinks list leans toward low-intervention and natural wine. The offer works for lunch, pre-theatre and late evenings, with a calm welcome that suits locals, office workers and visitors crossing between Carnaby and Broadwick streets. Experience shows in smooth pacing, clear allergen guidance and staff who explain dishes in simple terms so choices are easy.

Recognised quality with trusted credentials

Expertise is evident in clean spicing, well-balanced sauces and bread baked to order, all served as small plates that arrive as they are ready. Trust is supported by a current MICHELIN Guide listing for the brand and steady national coverage that confirms the concept and Soho opening. Authoritativeness comes from a loyal following, packed services and consistent reviews across reputable platforms. Practical details help the visit run smoothly, from online booking to published opening times and a menu that labels dietary choices. In a neighbourhood known for energy and food culture, Bubala Soho reads as a confident, plant-forward restaurant that respects the pace of Soho while offering flavour-first cooking. Diners looking for meat-free plates that feel generous will find a friendly team, fair pricing and dishes that travel well from kitchen to table. It is an address to return to for easy lunches, date nights or relaxed celebrations, with cooking that feels fresh, modern and distinctly London.
