   Ordered two wraps on Deliveroo which looked nothing like the photograph. All the salad and other items listed in the description were missing. The wraps were tiny in size. Please see photos below of the item as advertised on the website and what you actually receive. £27 worth of food was not even worth £5 so don’t waste your time at this place.

   We stopped at this spot in Spitalfields Market and ordered a kebab sandwich. The sandwich itself was very good — flavorful and well-prepared — but the experience was completely overshadowed by poor hygiene practices. The person behind the counter was handling food without gloves and using his bare hands. While we only saw him grab the bread, it left us uneasy and grossed out at the thought of him also touching chicken and vegetables the same way. It’s disappointing, because the food was delicious, but hygiene should be a basic standard. For a busy, popular market in London, management really needs to train staff to follow proper food safety practices. If they can fix that, this place could be great — but as it stands, it left us with mixed feelings.

   Server had headphones in and was on his phone the whole time even after taking my order. Chicken was sitting on top of the oven pre batched and chucked in after I ordered. Kebab was assembled by server one handed whilst he played on his phone Only thing nice about the food was the bread which was good quality. The chicken shouldn’t have been sitting out on the oven and looked old and pre prepped from however long ago. Looked grey

   We opted for the fried chicken and free range chicken shish kebabs after seeing so much about Le Bab on social media. The kebabs packed many flavours with the sauces and ingredients. Unfortunately, they're were both cold and lacked freshness. They're overly priced at £10 each and I'm glad I got to try them but won't be hurrying back anytime soon.

   Food is pretty good, the staff are friendly and the place is located in Spitalfields Market which is super beautiful and worth a visit. The portion size I have a bit of an issue with. 10 pounds for what is a relatively small kebab, so the value for money is not quite there. Prices are to be expected in the market, but they could make it up by adding some more stuff to that thing. Also worth noting there is no sitting space as this is a food stall. If you sit somewhere else in the market you may have to buy something from whatever place the table belongs to.

   The pitta itself was nice and the food tasted nice but felt that the portion size could have been more generous given what the asking price is i.e. more meat and more Arabian sauces, and perhaps a little more flavoursome or even grilled.

   Located inside the recently opened Battersea Power Station, this place certainly has the wow factor. Unfortunately this didn't translate to a good dining experience. Whilst the quality of the food was very good, the portion sizes were very small for the amount paid. The range of alcoholic drinks was small, but like the food extravagantly priced: a small can of beer costing £6.50. With the exception of our young female waiter, the service was truly awful. Indeed, while she was doing her best to accommodate our requirements, she was constantly being interrupted and redirected by senior management, who seemed to have no concept or understanding of service, in a service-led industry. I am hopeful that things will improve, but I won't be holding my breath. Nor will I be returning anytime soon.

   My new favorite restaurant! The atmosphere is lovely, the food is delicious, and the design of the space is really beautiful… (and romantic in the evenings). Meeting the owner was also a highlight; You can tell he really cares about people. 10/10

   I’m usually a big fan of the Le Bab restaurant and often eat at their Brixton location. We visited Battersea Power Station and were delighted to see one. We put our names down for a table and we’re told it would be an hour and a half wait. We returned to Le Bab after 2h as we did not receive any texts only to find that they had closed the restaurant without informing us and the staff member told us they were reopening in half an hour and that they would TRY to prioritise us. The customer service was terrible and non-existent. Their staff members evidently need more training.
