Eastern Cuisine in Southwark

Great food . Fresh and tasty and a very modern take on this type of cuisine . We had the tasting menu

Fantastic experience! The restaurant gives off cool modern vibes and we loved the ambiance as soon as we walked through the door. We also enjoyed the music in the background. As for the food, the marriage of flavours was truly extraordinary. Everything was excellent, we absolutely loved every single dish all the way down to the smallest detail. The staff was very approachable and friendly. We definitely recommend!

Overall great service from the staff, and the dishes we chose were really delicious. Kebab dumplings, king prawn baklava, brisket doughnut and also the beef Hummus. Great dishes and good share portions. We wish there were more on the plates. Tough to give five stars but consider this 4.5

The service was excellent, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was perfect. The brunch tasting menu is the way to go! The steak and eggs and fish pillows were both delicious main dishes and all the desserts were fantastic. Gazoz with Prosecco?! In a jug, is a must. My only disappointment was not being able to purchase one of the Bala Baya jumpers!

I feel so fortunate to have this fantastic restaurant nearby. The food is always interesting and delicious (fish & fennel was amazing); the drinks selection is creative - they make their own drink syrup for wonderful cocktails. It’s works for a casual meal or a special celebration. And the service is always first class. Michael looked after us last night, and was a great example of someone that is exceptional at customer service. They’ll try and fit you in even if full but definitely worth booking.

Really worth it I would say if u are going for new year's or just important ocassion. Some people would say overpriced but hands down one of the best restaurants I been in London in a long time. Service was incredible, and food arrived faster than expected.

If you've never tried Israeli food before or want to try different ingredients and flavour combinations then I would highly recommend Bala Baya. Their tapas style dishes are fresh, clever and taste great, making you want to try and more from the menu, a really good menu selection to try in a group. Some dishes you may think are heavy on the citrus or another flavour, but remember this is Israeli style food and their keeping it as authentic as possible.Highlight dishes were the hummus with slow cooked beef brisket, lamb dumplings, tempura monkfish and the aubergine mess. Prices are what you would expect for that area in London and the quality of the cooking, so not cheap but it won't break the bank if you come in a group. If you're just ordering food, the prices are pretty decent, it will be the drinks that will rack up the bill.The staff were really chilled and friendly and service was great and made sure we had everything we needed (even though we were a walk-in group on a Friday night!). Dishes come as and when they're ready, but we weren't really waiting too long between dishes except for the 'canoed seabass' dish which I expect takes a bit longer to prepare and cook.

Delicious and interesting concept - I will say it was a fusion middle east restaurant where each dish has an incredible taste and flavour combinations - service was helpful and friendly - the aubergine mess is a must! - definitely recommend and definitely will get back! -

What an excellent night!!! Food is amazing, service is outstanding, wine selection is great (with surprisingly good Israeli wine). We had prawns, cauliflower steak, aubergine mess, chicken and artichoke. The food presentation is awesome, extremely tasty. Highly recommend. Will be coming back certainly!! Please do visit!!

Has to be one of the tastiest meals I’ve had in London in the last couple of years. Great for a sharing experience with delicate and incredibly flavoured food. It’s in a quiet and private road and the atmosphere is low key and discreet.I’d recommend everything we ate but the aubergine mess, cauliflower and a grapefruit/thyme/gin drink was also super memorable.The staff were all brilliant, attentive, funny and made our evening special.I’ll be coming back for sure!
