   Really good place. They are wonderful people with wonderful food. They managed to deal with my son's food allergies with care because all the food is made in the kitchen

   Baba, a relatively new Turkish restaurant on Fulham Road, sits almost opposite Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. The interior is stylish and inviting, featuring a bar with elegant Art Deco pendant lights, tan leather seats, banquette seating, sand-colored walls, and black-and-white photography towards the far end. There are also two outdoor tables for those who prefer al fresco dining. The lunch menu, offering 2 or 3 courses at great value, initially seemed promising. However, the cordon bleu chicken was unavailable, so I opted for the vegetable moussaka instead. The meal began with the starter and ordered additional bread, a single piece cut into four, lightly dusted with za’atar spices—soft, fluffy, and a nice pairing with the Muhammara. The Muhammara itself was a pleasant blend of roasted peppers, tomatoes, and herbs, with hints of pomegranate adding a subtle sweetness. The vegetable moussaka, unfortunately, was disappointing. While the aubergine, carrots, peppers, and potatoes were well-cooked, the dish arrived piping hot and took a long time to cool down. The top layer of cheese was glistening with oil, and a pool of oil had collected at the base, making the dish heavier than expected. For dessert, the İrmik Helvası—a semolina-based dessert served with a scoop of ice cream, pistachio crumbs, and small nuts—was a pleasant end to the meal. Service was acceptable, though there was an error on the bill, initially charging for two courses plus dessert separately instead of the set three-course meal. This was corrected upon request. A 12.5% service charge was added. Overall, Baba offers a stylish setting and decent value, but the execution of dishes could be improved, particularly in balancing oiliness and portion weight. The lunch menu is great value if your don’t mind oily moussaka and the lack of Cordon Bleu option!
