7.5/10Lovely food and staff, small portions and overpriced but still a lovely brunch restaurant.

10/10Went for brunch with friends and had the brunch feast. Really enjoyed everything but in particular the mezze and the desserts. Really interesting and complementary flavours. Service was excellent, would come again and try other mains too! Thank you :)

8/10The service was superb and really nice ambiance there. But the portion of the dishes was too small considering the price and the brisket doughnut was too salty for me.

9.5/10Rarely do you find these days a restaurant with a refreshing totally individual style. All the dishes we had were superb. If you are bored with having the same thing over and over again - then try this place you won't be disappointed.

8/10Service was amazing! 10/10 Food wasn’t amazing (but maybe that is just their lunch menu) a solid 8/10 nothing more.

9/10Amazing and creative food full of flavours. Staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. Portions are small so be ready to order two to three plates per person. One thing we didn't like was the cheap nightclub style music that was loud and did not match the ambience of the restaurant. Because of the dome-shaped ceiling, the music sounded even more offensive and everyone was forced to speak in louder voices. I really hope they play better music on lower volume (or no music at all) because it is a truly exceptional restaurant otherwise.

7.5/10Unfortunately we waited for our table but it was already booked! Food and service were over other issues like noise at exceptional levels. It was a Saturday night! Warning that it was a Michelin guided place not starred.

10/10Not disappointed and that’s something nowadays for a pricey restaurant! Food and service were really good. Only gripe, drinks are overpriced - beer £7, 125ml wine glass £8, bottle £34 (starting price), cocktails between £13 and £16… don’t come too thirsty.

10/10Changed a plate on the menu to suite my dietary needs (pregnant). More than generous helpings for each serving.

8/10The food at Bala Baya was really good, and the ingredients of high quality. However, some of the dishes were a bit overpriced: especially the brunch brisket burger we ordered was very small for a "main dish" at 18£ . The service was lovely and smiley but a bit slow - we waited for quite some time to order and have our plates changed. All in all a nice experience at Bala Baya and will be back soon!

6.5/10Lovely food although the portions are small for the price. Staff are nice. The venue was very loud and they had music playing too, I couldn't hear my fellow diner at all at some points. We were upstairs and after a couple of hours we realised we were sitting in smoke [from the grill downstairs presumably] and our eyes were watering so we left. Such a shame as the food was good but we won't be returning.

10/10Greta friendly, knowledgable service. Some of the tastiest, well cooked, interesting food we have ever had (and we are real foodies) and a cool vibe! We had the 'set menu' which was decent value. The Sea bass is probably the best fish dish we have ever had!!

7/10Expensive for what it is- food good but average (brunch) and was ok as we had fork vouchers but would have been very disappointing if we had paid full price.
