Founder Marc Summers started Bubala as a pop up, a passion project to escape the drudgery of financial consulting and a channel for his constant daydreaming about food. He has successfully turned his dream into a cult restaurant brand in London, with two current sites, one in Spitalfields and one in the heart of Soho, a third spot to be opened in 2025 in King's Cross and plans for more!
Bubala has been selected as the Restaurant of the Year in Hot Dinners; Best Vegetarian Restaurants in London in Tatler; Top Ten Restaurants of 2019 in Nudge; Best Middle Eastern and Vegetarian Restaurants in Time Out (4* Review); Most Impressive Restaurant Newcomers of 2019 in Eater; Ten of the Best Vegan-Friendly Restaurants in London in The Guardian; Third Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in the UK in The Times.
