After reading such great reviews about this place I was left feeling a bit disappointed. This is a…read morebasement level restaurant that has a cosy cafe/brasserie feel to it. We arrived at around 7 pm and there were still big tables of kids having afternoon tea and so it was a bit loud and a different energy to what we were expecting. We asked to move table to somewhere a little more quiet. Drinks took a while to arrive and service was generally quite disappointing. We asked for ice for our water a couple of times and no one ever came to bring any. It's a bit like we were forgotten about. Cocktails were decent but not remarkable. The food was good - squid ink risotto with cuttle fish. Needed additional seasoning but was happy to do that myself and had to ask for Parmesan cheese. While the food was good, it was not good enough to merit a return visit. Prices are fair but service charge is automatically added and I don't think they earned it this time around. In all, an average evening.

Sometimes you want to go to a spot that has a bunch of variety and is close enough to the hustle and bustle with a spin on being far away from everyone else. This is really a review for the drinks in the bar downstairs and the vibe of that secret speakeasy. This is one of my favorite secret spots in London that is a part of Momo. The drinks are some of the most inventive cocktails and the vibe brings you to a different place and time. If you're looking for a break from the pub life... head downstairs to the bar. Hopefully, it will be safe to drink inside again soon.

Such an amazing discovery in London! We were looking with my…read morefriends for a place to seat and have a tea/coffee.

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and feels very luscious and warm. We had a variety of appetizers and each ordered individual entrees along with rounds of drinks. The wait staff was attentive and the food was delicious, but slow to come out. Being a large group, this is somewhat expected but it still felt a bit too long. The spot was close to our office, so I would definitely come back again.

The food was a mix and blend of many different flavors. I can't really tell what type of food this is, definitely a blend of middle eastern, thai and everything in between. We order for apps, the hummus, lamb kofta (which were delicious), roasted cauliflower (which I wanted to love but it it was completely too dark/roasted). Followed by the cod fish with grains, schnitzel, chicken curry and lamb steak. I think the flavors were strong and prominent. My favorite was the chicken curry, lamb kofta, schnitzel. I would definitely return next time I am in London!

So when we visited in 2024, the parental units said "We found our fave F&C place, Balans." So me & the boy went one night for dinner. About have full and we were seated right away & a server was with us in a few minutes, his name was David. Wow, what a fantastic person! He was charming, around when needed and I feel I cannot say enough good things about him. Onto the meal, I had the F&C (ofc) and the boy had the roast chicken. The PU's were not wrong, literally the best F&C I have had in a very long time! The alcohol prices were better than the local pubs & the ambiance here is out of this world, just beautiful!

Battered like it owed someone money. Crisp on the outside, flaky in the middle, seasoned right. Chips were chunky, like they should be, not those little frozen fries that taste like sadness. Mushy peas weren't shy either. Tartar sauce had enough punch to remind you you're in Britain, not on a cruise ship. My bruv was with me, the one who's always got it all figured out. While I was neck-deep in cod and joy, he's sat there with a pot of tea and a steak omelette like some kind of Soho aristocrat. Didn't say a word, just nodded at the first bite. Man knows what he's doing. Service was sharp. Our waitress had that no-nonsense, bit-of-a-tease energy. Proper London. Never hovered, didn't push us out, and no fuss about the tip. Let us eat, drink, breathe, and get our bearings. We sat outside, under the red umbrella. Sun peeking through the trees. Locals walking their dogs, tourists trying to look like they belong. Great crowd. Better view. Felt like I was back, in all the best ways.
