Whilst visiting Berlin, we were awestruck at the incredible kebab houses, with their lunchtime queues stretching down the street. We became obsessed with trying to find one in the UK, but it became clear we were going to have to recreate our own.
The bread of a Berlin bab is what makes it so unique, so we knew we had to get this bang on. We teamed up with a local bakery and spent months perfecting our own recipe.
Hoba started life as a market stall in Bristol back in 2017. After moving around slinging kebabs at markets, festivals and pop-up kitchen residencies, we’ve now opened our very own place, right by our first market stall site at Bristol Harbourside.
Hoba is female owned, by couple Hope and Annie. Hope founded Hoba after working as a private chef in London, and together they run it with an incredible team of kebabes.
