Bala Baya Restaurant Bankside

Been on several occasions, including once during Covid restrictions. The team are always friendly and helpful, a welcoming environment set over two floors in the arches.

Food is outstanding, big flavour small plates with a changing seasonal menu. A tad pricey, however considering the area it’s somewhat to be expected. Quality and innovation get top marks, as well as a range of tasty cocktails. The cocktails push the overall price up of course but they’re very tempting 😁

We had a great dinning experience at Bala Baya.  The food was delicious with a beautiful presentation.  The service was great and we enjoyed a nice glass of Israeli wine.   For food we had fried cauliflower, roasted cabbage with goat cheese, spiced pumpkin hummus, kabob dumplings.  All of it was so delicious!

We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, we were really looked after. It was a lovely relaxed environment with attentive service. We could have sat there for hours soaking up the atmosphere of the open kitchen. I will absolutely be back.

This restaurant is a real standout. The staff are warm and professional, creating an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and refined. The food is the real highlight - every dish feels carefully thought out, full of unexpected flavors that actually work together. It is the kind of place that surprises you in the best way possible and leaves you wanting to come back soon.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere and brilliant and attentive service! Food is superb and very delicious. I love that the dishes are creative and well presented. Tapas style is a wonderful idea and allows you to taste much more of the menu. I’ll be back soon for sure! Cannot wait to try the other dishes.
