Friday Night Dinner: Bubala
We visited Bubala, a vegetarian and vegan restaurant, on a warm-ish Friday night in October.
Bubala is located very centrally, just a few minutes walk from Oxford Street, Regent Street, and just around the corner from Carnaby Street.
The restaurant felt cosy inside, although the lighting was a bit on the dim side. It was fairly busy when we arrived. We were seated quickly, and shortly afterwards the server arrived with menus and complimentary still or sparkling water.
Bubala is a sharing plates type restaurant, serving a Mediterranean inspired cuisine. They had vegetarian or vegan set menus available for £45/person, but we opted to pick from the à la carte menu. We ordered flatbreads, hummus with chilli oil, baba ganoush, sweetcorn, halloumi with a fennel honey crust, and (surprisingly spicy) spanked cucumbers. To drink we enjoyed a bottle of white wine.
The food was delivered fairly quickly, but this led to an issue as the table wasn't really big enough for more than a couple of the sharing dishes, which were all quite large and flat. I ended up having to put my cutlery on the bench seat beside me, in order to have enough space for the water and wine glasses. My husband juggled cutlery.
Overall the food was tasty, and service good, and we'd return with veggie friends. If we returned we would consider ordering only a couple of dishes, and then ordering more when those were eaten, due to the table size. We ordered an extra flatbread and this arrived hot from the grill within a couple of minutes.

I went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday, for a day out in nature.
While hiding in a hide, this chap and a friend showed up starting to forage for grubs.
