Hummus and burnt butter, with that classic Bubala smear 🧡
Our house hummus, whipped smooth and rich with tahini, with a pool of warm, nutty burnt butter poured straight into the middle. Always on the menu, always on your table.
Made fresh every morning. Gone by the end of every night.
Come for the hummus, stay for the smear 🧡
Nothing better than burnt butter 😍 we’d drink it from the bottle if we could.
Don’t be polite. Take the big piece of bread and dunk it in 🧡

A first glimpse at Covent Garden 🧡 the night before we open officially.
We gave OTHER SIDE a Victorian listed building in the heart of Theatreland and asked them to make somewhere that feels warm, homely and distinctly Bubala the moment you walk in.
They kept the arches and the old brickwork, laid terracotta underfoot, ran reclaimed timber across the ceilings and opened the kitchen up so the pass sits in full view of the dining room.
Plates stacked on open shelves, bentwood chairs, our classic green tiles and soft light everywhere.
Doors to our new home officially open tomorrow.
Bookings available now ❤️

Wetherfell ‘halloumi’, chamomile & fennel honey 🧡
In Covent Garden, the cheese on our halloumi plate is Wetherfell. Sam and Ben make it by hand in small batches, using raw milk from a single herd of cows that have only ever eaten grass.
They cook it at a lower temperature than most halloumi, so it holds on to more flavour and keeps the squeak. We char it and slick it with our classic camomile honey.

Kentish corn, feta, coriander & red shatta 🌽❤️
Sweet Kentish corn, salty feta and coriander, with crispy corn for a little crunch. Finished with Borettane onions and a brown butter & red shatta dressing that’s sweet, spicy, sharp and very moreish.
One of the new dishes on the menu now in Covent Garden and across all our restaurants.

Honeypatch squash, chestnut, orange blossom brown butter 🧡
On the menu at Covent Garden and all Bubala restaurants,
Honeypatch started with chef Dan Barber asking vegetable breeder Michael Mazourek a very good question: could you build a better squash?
Years of breeding for flavour later, Honeypatch was born. Small, sweet and seriously delicious, we pair with chestnuts & orange blossom brown butter.
