Probably the best kebabs in the world, Le Bab in Soho is the original posh kebab shop and a must-visit for lunch in Kingly Court.

Breadstall
Whether you're on the hunt for a grab and go or a pizza-by-the-slice dine in, Breadstall on Berwick Street has you covered. A crispy base like New York but fluffy crusts like a Neapolitan Breadstall is coming in top on West End pizza reviews.
For lunch, a quarter served from the takeaway hatch is plenty to keep you fuelled up at an affordable price.

BAO
For a Taiwanese twist on your Soho lunch, try BAO's 'BAO 15' set menu served 12-6pm weekdays for only £15 each. Take your pick from their Bao Bun choices, choose a Xiao Chi and your flavour of Rice Bowl. *Note the whole table must select the set menu.
Wash down your BAO lunch with their Pineapple float or Lemon and Honey Ice Tea.
