Babel Grill House — Restaurant in London

I am staying just off Brick Lane tonight and as I am dining solo, I wanted somewhere with a relaxed and at-home vibe on this cold November evening. I know this is maybe a bit in-depth for some, but I'm sat on my own with rare time to myself so you're getting a big-ish review!

I cook a lot of Middle Eastern food, and really wanted to try something other than curry which I usually go for when I come here. I'm really rubbish at choosing what to order as I always want to try a bit of everything so after a little conversation with Hamed, I ordered a platter for one, with lamb.

The starter dish came within about 5 minutes and consisted of hummus, tabbouleh, moutabel, falafel, bread and pickles, with a tiny pot of something which tasted nutty like a tahini dip. The falafel were fried and crispy on the outside and packed with herbs and fluffy on the inside like they should be. The tabbouleh was herby, fresh and cool and taking a little bit of everything together made a really balanced mouthful with a good bit of acidity from the pickles.

The main followed a few minutes after I'd finished my starter and was around 5 pieces of lamb, cooked on a skewer with bread, salad and rice, with a little pot of a garlic dip and a spicier red pepper-based dip. Some of the lamb was pink (how I like it), and had the charred taste that you expect from this cuisine. I'm not into baclawa so I got a lovely tea to finish my meal, aromatic with cinnamon and cardamom, and a good spoonful of sugar. The meal overall was filling yet not too heavy and was full of flavour.

I was made to feel very comfortable by Hamed; he was polite, willing to have a conversation and I felt very relaxed as a woman on my own. Thank you. I'll be back next time I...
