Eran Tibi (Executive Chef at Bala Baya and Kapara) is the epitome of a modern chef – high tempo, full of energy and firmly rooted in his Tunisian and Syrian ancestry. Having trained at Le Cordon Bleu and under the expertise of the Ottolenghi team, Eran now runs his own restaurants, Bala Baya in Southwark and Kapara in Soho. Both are authentic reflections of him: fun dining destinations that offer fusions of Tunisian, Syrian, Israeli and Greek cuisine, that spans a spectrum of Middle Eastern flavours.
