Bab is a vibrant restaurant and bar situated in Manchester’s bustling Northern Quarter.

We’re all about bold flavours, locally-sourced ingredients and homemade marinades and sauces. Watch our team of creative chefs make fresh flatbreads, from scratch, in our open theatre-style kitchen. We cook all of our breads on a robata grill, giving each kebab that unique charcoal flavour.

As well as Babs, we offer a selection of tasty non-Babs, meze dishes and desserts.

Our ever-growing drinks list includes freshly made iced teas, cocktails and a wide variety of beers, wines and soft drinks. Why not try one of our Bab-tails – show-stopping cocktails created by our very own mixologist!

So, come hungry, pull up a chair and enjoy a kebab worth sitting down for then stay to enjoy a cocktail or three.

Due to popular demand we recently expanded BAB – meaning more space to serve up our delicious kebabs.

But it also means we now have an amazing space for late night cocktails and DJs playing the best in disco, funk and soul until the wee hours; it just keeps getting better doesn’t it!

From signature cocktails to our prosecco filled ‘BUBs’, through to sweet and savoury choices and just the plain outrageous.

    We held our sports club end of season awards night at Bab in the downstairs private hire room and had an absolutely brilliant time. Communication from the off with Lisa at Bab was fantastic and she, along with the team on the night, were always on hand to help + to answer any questions we had. The space itself is the perfect size and has everything you need including projector, screen, sound system and disco lights. We loved the private bar and the food was delicious. Having the room till 1 meant we had lots of time to dance after the main awards were finished. We'd recommend over-ordering on food- we went for the £20 menus but charged £25 so that we could order some extra portions. This meant people could have seconds or thirds and everyone was really happy about this. It's also worth arriving at the venue an hour or so earlier so you can get the layout how you want it, especially if you're planning to use the projector. Thank you so much Bab for having us + for making our End of Season so enjoyable!!

    Great food , great customer service and good deals! I went with two friends at opening time midweek. There were two other tables being occupied as well as ours so I can imagine this place could get pretty busy during peak times. It was decorated nice inside and everything was very calm and welcoming. We opted for the lunch time deal which at £10 was a steal! I ordered mine without chips though and asked if I could instead have more salad which was no problem at all. It wasn’t long from placing the order to it being brought to the table. There were a good selection of drinks on offer but I prefer to have my meals with water these days. (Check out the menu though) The service was great, the guy who took our order was really friendly and checked everything was ok in between service. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken bab which was full of flavour and honestly delicious! I think it would be amazing if they offered an alternative choice of bread as I would have LOVED it MORE if it was on a thicker, doughier flat bread or even naan bread. However it was delicious and I would definitely return!

    Incredibly limited drinks menu, everything in cans apart from a very small selection of around 3/4 different cocktails. The server desperately needs to learn some serious customer service skills. We overheard them pretty much growling at different customers and all whilst they had a mouth full of food! I have never had the experience of having my order taken whilst the server is munching a huge mouthful of m&m's and it is certainly not something I would care to experience again. Some staff training is very much needed!
