- I'm in London's Covent Garden today and I've headed down to Le Bab which is known as the UK's poshest kebab shop and judging by the prices, also the the most expensive in London and the UK as well. Lets see what all the fuss is about!

Well, that's the first time I've ever seen someone turn a kebab into a Taco, turn it upside down, THEN eat from the middle! 😂
He wanted to get them big flavours for the video
I keep you guessing everytime lol
Madness
I know it was posh, but was there a pickled chilli on offer? It ain't a dutty kebab without a yellowed from pickling chillie!!!
@@GaryEats
Yeah right..... 😉
Had a very stressful day at work today, Gary. Got home, immediately felt better as a new Gary Eats has been released. Calmed me right down! You do more good than you realise, my friend.
Ah Stuart I hope your days at work get better for you my friend
He really does❣️
Another excellent video. I would try all of those kebabs except maybe not the vegan one. All looked delicious and what a great location. Thank you so much for all this wonderful content❤. And a big shout out to the cameraman. What a team.❤
@@GaryEatsoh friend sorry been watching inbetweeners lol
Another great review Gary. We own 2 restaurants in Colorado and it is a challenging life sometimes. I love to see other restaurants all over that have the passion and skill to make customers feel special and satisfied! ❤
That’s a lovely comment and I wish you all the very best Susan 🌹
Lovely day when Gary posts.
I really appreciate that, thank you Haydn
Gary is always concise and honest. A great resource for UK locals and tourists interested in great food experiences. Gonna keep a file of his reviews for my next UK tour. Thanks Gary.
Thank you very much that’s really kind to say Dana
I get the chicken shish in their Spitalfields store the odd Friday for a treat, it’s just epic, every ingredient bursting with flavour and a great balance of textures, I can’t recommend Le Bab highly enough. Great review as always Gary. 👌🏻👍🏻🙂
Good to know! Glad you also like it!
2:28 That was the most upbeat way Ive ever heard someone say "truly horrendous". I was actually laughing out loud there, thanks for that. Love the British dead pan style of humor!
Thank you lol
What Jeremy Clarkson is to the car world you are to the food world . Both of you share the dry type of British humour (Clarkson being a bit more sarcastic ). 👍I love watching both you and Cralkson . Keep up the great work and please keep posting to keep us happily entertained .
@zabeerkhan1776 Didnt like it when Clarkson went all political, though. He said some pretty... well... "interesting" things the last few years. But that's a whole other matter and just my personal opinion.
Gary, you're a star, in fact you're five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The professionalism and quality of these videos just keeps going up, in presentation, filming and editing
Bravo to both
Wow, thanks Rosie. You are a diamond and a star - thanks so much
@@GaryEatsthe end 1 and the starter gary excellent and the fondue jam hot Jay taylor poole in dorset
Another quality video from Gary, this channel is much more watchable than watching RMT try to park his van for ten minutes.
Thank you. I do think Danny has done an amazing job with his channel and all the best to him
Agreed is top class- probably the best food reviewer on TH-cam but RMT- in Danny's defence- is a different kind of thing and very much led he way for everyone else in my opinion. 2 quality channels and 2 genuine geezers!!
@@kevinkeane254 I do really like Danny, he's a great guy, I just think his videos could be edited down a bit to feature more on the food and restaurants.
@@FossaBooks Now this point I do agree with
You do know you can skip parts of the video right ?
You should carry a small rubber wedge in your jeans pocket for the wobbly tables. There is nothing worse than a rocking table when you're trying to eat.
That's like something Mr Bean would do
I try and use the tissue paper and put it under one of the legs, sometimes doesn't work though
@@GaryEats How are you supposed to remember a wedge, you can't remember the cutlery when you need it! 😂
This is why beer mats were invented. Worked for pool tables too!
yep one of my pet peeves
Super report Gary - Wow what an impressive bite radius ! Excellent camera work - very good close ups and super quick focus of the dishes - best since Keith Floyd !!! Keep up the good work ! 😀😀😀 !
Thank you very much, Andrew
The food did look appetizing and I would definitely want to try the butter chicken kebab, very unusual, but it looked fresh and certainly plenty of filling to make it a good meal. I always enjoy your videos and appreciate that you also figure in location and service charge feasibility when it comes to value.
Thank you very much for watching and for your wonderful comment
The food was beautifully presented here, Gary! Pricey though but then, if the quality is there, well worth it.
Spot on and well said
Gary's sense of humor is spot on as always, and this looks like yummy delicious feel good food..!! 🤙🏼
Thank you Nils. I hope you’re well and see you soon
Lovely new eating technique, Gary! Get right into the flavor!
You are always so fun!
Thanks for bringing us along! 💜
Thank you very much, Susan, as you realise this was a bit of fun ❤️🌹
That dopamine hit when gary says "let's give it a go"
LOL. I'm sorry for not saying it this video
Yes, same here, just start to smile
@@GaryEatsAnd, no little 'Jog of Optimistic Enthusiasm'.
Wow ,they all looked amazing to me ,spoilt for choice , the starter was to die for . Price was up there. You were paying for the quality. Great review Gary ,great score. Thank you 🤩❤️🙏🏼😄
Thank you very much as always, Karen, it was pricey but on this occasion they did deliver 🌹❤️🌹
I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and you’ve become one of my favourite channels, keep it up Gary! :)
That is very kind to say, and thank you very much for watching and commenting
Love Gary’s posts -so real and honest
I really appreciate that, thank you Alison
Hi Gary the best kebab I ever had was in Corfu town in Greece many moons ago and my claim to fame is I sat on the next table to Freddie Mercury great video as always 👍👍
I have to say that is a wonderful story. You are so lucky, Alan.
You clearly enjoyed yourself. You loved the food. Generous portions, I noticed. Your review is a great recommendation. Thank you for showing us. It is much appreciated.
It was so vibrant and fun to eat Sylvia, absolutely loved it!
Thanks for these great videos Gary and food ideas for fakeaways. I love my hummus kebabs being a veggie but I've never been that keen on aubergine. These kebabs have given me a great idea for making these at-home, peanut curry with hummus or even the aubergine kebab or a mix of the two. I feel an experiment coming on very soon. 😁
That is absolutely fantastic to hear
Wonky tables drive me nuts. It's always the pedestal ones. The kababs looked really tasty. I loved the crisp noise as you munched into them 😆Tracey xx
The table drove me mad, but I did fix it, thankfully the kebabs were excellent Tracey xx🌹
We visited this place just after it opened and it was impressive. Well Gary, it certainly seems to have kept up the standard and the same goes for your review which was thoroughly enjoyable as always 😊👍
Totally agree with you Nigel. What did you order?
@@GaryEats If I remember correctly, we had the Hummos and Donner Kebab with a salad of pickled peppers, and a type of sweet rice with honey for dessert. We went to see the ballet Gisele after a thoroughly enjoyable meal 🤗🤗
Love the reviews all the way from beautiful Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Cheers cobba 🍺
Thank you kindly Jade
Hello our Gary, lovely to see your happy go lucky personality again.
I'm so glad that One has given this posh venue a go lol 🤣
I love hummus, it looked delicious. That starter alone would fill me up for sure.
Everything looked so moreish .
I'm not into Kebabs but what you chose is a definite yes for me. Plenty of food there for 3 .
I love lamb delicious 😋
Another excellent review. Cameraman is going to have his fill for sure.
Love this video.
Thank you for sharing . Have a lovely evening sweet x😊
The vibrancy of the kebabs really stuck out to me Maria. Not used to that the kebab fine dining aspect lol.
I know kebabs are almost marmite for a lot of people but this was at the very least, a much healthier option than others.
Thanks so much!
@@GaryEats you're very welcome Gary. I'm not a kebab eater but those ones are so different I'd definitely try them . Fine dining Kebabs is definitely a new thing lol .Super video sweet . I hope you manage to relax this evening x😊
Really nice reviews, also for people outside the UK!
I really appreciate that, thank you Jeroen. Really do my best to change up the content as much as possible
Looks like a lovely location as well to have a bite to eat….great review as always by Gary
Very kind of you, thanks so much and completely agree
The food looked very well presented. For the location and size of the kebabs it is a reasonable price. Great review as always.
That is very kind to say it was good quality food
Really enjoy the variety of places you review, have my preferences ofcourse but seeing different places may spark an interest in going for me or others. 👊🙏
That’s very kind to see and really appreciated
The variety is great. Gary has found a few places near to me that I didn't know about and have tried on the strength of his reviews, he's also visited places that I've been going to for ages, which is always an interesting watch.
Well all 3 looked divine but the lamb one had me drooling pure quality great review again Gary thank you
I’m really pleased you enjoy this one
Blasphemy the way you attacked that pita/wrap. We all love an unstoppable rogue. Great review as always Sir.
I did it terribly my apologies!!
Always do a great blog Gary a pleasure to always come across one of your videos cheers me up no end thank you and your camera man 😊😊😊
That is very kind to say thank you very, very much, Barry
always great finding places to eat from Gary. Can't wait for work to get me down London again
Thank you Keith
Love your intro Gary. Try this at home...toast a piece of pitta, place open on hot plate, place on top spoons of greek yogurt,add your donnar kebab meat,Pour🎉 over a can of Campbell's thick condensed soup thinned down a little with a few dried Chile flakes in it and top with sliced red onions, suberb.
Thank you very much. I will give that a try.
Hospital every day my partner is not well come home and chill out without you and greeno !!! Make my day fair play to you both xxxx😅
I really everything is ok, my thoughts are with you both Jane 🌹🌹
Not only was it quality it was abundant. There was generosity in those servings. I think if I'd been served any of those I'd eat part of it with a knife and fork, and only attempt a pick up after I'd diminished the filling a bit. I don't have the bite capacity to tackle that much at once. I'm actually impressed with your biting volume.
That is very kind to say thank you very much
Gary's middle name is ' Megladon ' 🤣
I always start my morning off by watching a video from Gary and thanks for another entertaining one from you and the cameraman 😊😊😊😊
That’s great to hear Greg thank you
I never thought I could be entertained to such a degree, by watching someone having a substantial meal in a restaurant!
Gary you are the best, and I thoroughly enjoy your reviews.
Look forward to the next “let’s give it a go”! 😁😁😂👏
Rob from Durban, South Africa.
That is really fine to say and very much appreciated, Rob, thank you for watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
I always get so hungry watching these videos 😅 the presentation here is amazing
Thank you very, very much, Monty
I love this channel. Great stuff Gary appreciate the content a lot.. respect 👊
Thank you very much
The food looked marvelous, indeed! I might not even have tried to fold this thick flatbread but would have used the cutlery for convenience.
It was a very good offering
I have to agree Gary, that looked delicious and the presentation was up there with 1st class dining. Well worth £60 I'd say. Cracking review Gary. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much, Paul
Another great review Gary and cameraman, they’re always a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
That’s very kind Debra 🌹
They looked so good, having a Gary catchup after not being too well
I hope you are feeling much better now, Joanne
What great content gary. Love it
Thank you very much, Robert
That was superb Gary. Definitely enough for 3 people, so the value was pretty good. Agree with you on your score. I loved the humus, especially with the peanut flavour. All the food looked delicious. Thank you for sharing with us, much appreciated 👍👍👍
Very kind of you, thanks so much Andreas
Great ❤stuff looked really nice
Thank you very much, James
I love lamb! So any dish that's well made with it gets my approval. The dishes you enjoyed made my mouth water. 😃Monday 9 September 2024, 7:26PM.
You and me both 👌
Always looking forwards to your vlogs Garry. You and cameraman never fail to deliver. You so deserve your success
That is very kind to say thank you very much, John
Great review Gary. I have some Hummus in the fridge and I am going to try a dallop of my favourite Indian pickle. Worth a shot - who would have thought.
Very kind of you, thanks so much. Very nice, give it a go
Good evening Gary! Wasn't sure if we'd see you today. Always a pleasure and puts a smile on my face. Cheers and once again thanks! Stephen.
Are you not sick of me by now Stephen?
@GaryEats No way matey!!!
Again another great video keep up the good work
Thank you very much, Albert
Spot on this time Gary, nice to see variations of kebabs, great review great video thanks for sharing 😊 looking forward to the next one
Thank you very much, Lee
Interesting…..always appreciate a review in central London for when we have a trip to ‘the smoke’. That would fill you up at lunchtime and not too out of this world price wise. Nice one
Thank you David
Excellent review. The food all looked really good. Maybe a bit pricey but I definitely think you got what you paid for there.
On this occasion, it was pricey, but it was worth it
A super and entertaining review Gary. I am now desperate to try a butter chicken kebeb.
Thank you very much, Robert
As always another great video Gary!Always enjoy you giving it a go!❤Have a great day, Watching from sunny California 🎉
Thank you very much for watching from California 🇺🇸
The Gilet Clad Chomper is back with another excellent entry. Hadn’t heard of that place but it’s made the list of restaurants to keep an eye out for.
That was very very funny, thank you very much
It looks amazing! It shows how much of difference a high quality kebab has compared to a cheap takeaway.
That's a massive meal even shared with the cameraman!!
Spot on Tom. Much prefer this all day long
Looks good, I've a long list of places to try next time I'm in London. 🤪
Thank you 🙏
Gary the legend at it again 👏
Thank you very much, Pete
Been to Le Bab in Kingly Court in Carnaby Street, and I was stunned. The pork roll and the curried hummus were absolutely banging. Been a while so the pork kebab is probably off the menu now.
I think it's off the menu as didn't see, glad you like it though
To liven hummus up try it with lamb shawarma placed on top and drizzle some tabasco on the edges.. in many middle eastern menus you’ll see it shown as hummus with meat.
That sounds fantastic, thank you, Richard
I don't think another of your video's has made me more hungry than this one :) Your commentary was excellent.
I LOVE Kebabs and this place looks like Mecca. I'm really glad you rated it so highly - this one is on my bucket list.
Thanks Gary!
Thank you, I really hope you go and enjoy it. Please let me know what you order
Superb video as always 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
That looked really good Gary, Gone past here many times and the other locations in London- but never eaten here + the food/drinks I have seen people eat look great!
Know other friends, family and other people that have been to the chain though- and a number of them really liked the: Smoked Honey & Harissa Halloumi!
That is fantastic to hear, Mike, it is very good quality but it is on the pricey side but on this occasion I did not mind
I've eaten a few kebabs in my many years...but have NEVER thought of them as 'posh nosh'.. until tonight!.. That all looked 'quality' and I would happily pay those prices if the food tasted half as good as it looks! Trust you to find a little gem like Le Bab...excellent review... as always!
It was very very good Wendy. Something a bit different to the usual!
Great review there Gary, real got the smile in my face. I wish I still worked in London. Might have to come down for a week!
Thank you Dave
Thanks for brightening my evening Gary. Your obvious enjoyment of the food was infectious 😂🎉
Thank you Wendy 🌹
When most of us think of a kebab we think of a Saturday night falling through the door of the the nearest outlet to the public house you’ve just had a skinful in and it’s long strips of leather masquerading as lamb drenched in chilli sauce served on a pocket of dry pitta bread , which more often than not ends up as a pavement pizza when mixed with the 10 pints of lager that were consumed earlier , but this was a million miles away from that , quality ingredients cooked and presented in a way that so appetising , although difficult to eat with any semblance of dignity but you just about managed it Gary , pricey yes , quality yes , enough to serve 3 so all in all value for money and 9/10 well earned , great review as usual my friend 👍
Deano my friend, I've been there many a time in my life lol. Brilliant comment and take care
Given the location and quality the price felt more than justified. Definitely adding Le Bab to my 'Let's give it a go' list
Give it a go!!
It should be worth pointing out to our southern brothers and sisters that where I’m from , West Yorkshire, bab means turd.
I burst out laughing
😂😂😂😂😂😂 love it !
@@GaryEats😂😂😂😂
@@GaryEatsAlso worth pointing out where I'm from in Yorkshire a 12% service charge translates to rude words 😂
South Yorkshire here, we call each other bab meaning babe
Only ever had one kebab in my life, Oludenis Turkey, really nice. La Bab looks cool and the kebabs superb! My favourite, the chicken, wow looked and sounds extraordinarily delicious!! Prices are amazing for Covent Garden!
I can imagine it was delicious Rod
Evening Gary once again top class review and them kababs looked mouthwatering delicious love covent garden used to go in a pub called the nags head there keep up the great work mate 🤙
Thank you very, very much, Richard
Kebabs are not my favourite...but this channel is...thanks again... always the wbbly table
Arsenal are not my favourite team but for you, I can make an exception lol
@@GaryEats wahaha
This was a happy video Gary! You’re really relaxing and letting your natural humour flow! 😂❤😂
That’s really kind and appreciated thank you
Quality and quantity on a plate. What more could you ask for? 👍
I agree with you, Philip thank you
Gary ,I went there today. From the welcome you receive when you walk through the door I could not fault it The food was superb the taste just lingered and thrilled the taste buds. SUPERB.
Brilliant to hear Mick, what did you order?
The chips with cheese sauce. Buttered Chicken and the Lamb kebab. 2 lemonades £40 Inc service. Brilliant t
Just noticed the massive increase in subscribers well done! I hardly watch TV these days keep it going Gary!
Thank you very much, Jonathan
Gary, your imitation of a posh English accent was funny. The actor David Niven sounded the most naturally or effortlessly posh, but Dennis Price was great too and with a slight sense of parody.
I’m pleased you enjoyed Thomas
Those prices for Central London is actually pretty good, obviously rents are high but you will be surprised by the Business Rates they extraordinary high.
The food looked rather good and certainly somewhere I would consider, more a work/mates thing than romantic date though.
No doubt for what you get in the end, it was pretty fair!
That's the smallest piece of lemon I've ever seen served at a restaurant! Hummus tastes great with a GENEROUS amount of fresh lemon juice to counterbalance the crushed garlic (they presumably added to the hummus alongside the other ingredients)
Lemon shortages in London now as well
❤thankyou again Gary for including a veggie option so much appreciated 🎉🎉and yes they all looked amazing 🤩
No problem I’ll try to do more ❤️
The wobbly table prob.
I use a piece of napkin, folding up and put under the problematic leg😆
That’s what I did in the end
Well, they certainly looked better than your average kebab! Great video Gary and Son, thank you.
Thanks for watching!!
Perfect timing as always. Just as I get in ❤
I really appreciate that, thank you Ben!
A cracking video Gary..the food looked delicious with a well deserved score of 9 out of 10..quality always costs more together with the location..look forward to seeing your next video!
Very kind of you, thanks so much!!
Do try Le Val in Kingston . great Lebanese food. amazing kebabs and salads. and really good value... did I say excellent service too! Love it.
That is fantastic to hear
Well Gary... We both had insect problems in our videos recently - and now I can't believe you have had a bird problem - you might find out why tomorrow ha ha! Proper posh looking kebabs those - even the "dirty" one looked posh and even a bit healthy!
I think you sent them over, you naughty man 😂😂😂… because I sent them over to you 😂😂😂
If your taking recommendations Garry, I suggest, Ate O'Clock in York, & I live in Suffolk! Been there twice, amazing food & service
Thank you very much I’ll take a look
I was going to say .. 16.5 Covent garden for the dirty BAB plus a coke say 3 quid 20 quid for dinner in the West End pretty good really. The only thing i noticed was no tomatoes, which i like with Kebab.
Fair comment. Lovely area as well, all in all... a good trip
Can’t decide if I enjoy these videos better on a full or empty stomach .
Hi, Meg. Either way, I seem to get hungry myself while watching them!
Have a snack 👍👍😂
Hummus dish well presented,unusual combination and glad you enjoyed it. Love the presentation of the three kebabs and it looks like a decent sized proportion. The last one with the lamp and chips and cheezy dip would be my favourite. Thanks for lunch.
That was my favourite as well and thank you very much for watching and commenting
Judging this based on the business lease price and the business rates for this location, the size and the portion, I would definitely say in my opinion the price was decent.
That’s a great point thank you
Excellent again Gary and Cameraman all I can say I was impressed you didn't end up with any food down your jumper.
It was almost a miracle, Douglas
I always end up with wobbly tables too. 😹
Frustrating unfortunately lol 😂
@@GaryEats 😹😹
Another great video Gary. I had not heard of this place but I may well give it a try now. Food looked nice 😋
I really appreciate that, thank you so much
U seemed to have fun in this one! Glad to see u well and great work as always!
Also cheers on your subscriber count! It's definitely gone up since I first started watching :)
I really enjoyed this one and thank you very much for your kind comment, I really appreciate you watching and commenting as well
Don’t need to spend a lot of money for a good kebab but you do need to find a family business that takes personal pride in what they serve.
