A Middle Eastern Feast; Bubala (a Yiddish term of endearment; 'sweetheart', 'darling', 'honey') is all about our vibrant vegetarian cuisine, culture and our passion for hospitality.
Pop-up-turned-permanent success story, Bubala has two restaurants; one in the heart of Spitalfields and the second restaurant in the bustling streets of Soho. We take our inspiration from across the Middle East, with bold and complex flavours, textures and a measure of playfulness. Purely vegetarian (though likely unnoticed!), we adopt a no substitutes attitude, shunning the synthetic and processed and instead championing the best and most exciting veg we can get our hands on.
We are looking for new team members to become a part of our bright, fast-paced culture and embrace everything Bubala! If this sounds like a good fit for you please get in touch and visit www.harri.com/Bubala
