Bala Baya is a vibrant, lively restaurant in Southwark. From its gastronomic delights to its cultural ambience, Bala Baya captures the spirit of the Eastern Mediterranean with authentic flavours and an inviting atmosphere.

With Bauhaus-inspired décor, the restaurant is a feast for the senses, offering a harmonious fusion of architectural design and a soundtrack that perfectly complements its diverse menu. The open kitchen offers diners a view of the chefs at work, showcasing their skill as they expertly craft each dish.

Curated by Chef Eran Tibi, the menu boasts an eclectic selection of dishes inspired by the rich flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean. From the melt-in-the-mouth Bala Baya bagel with smoked herb butter to the tender short rib hummus, each dish is meticulously prepared using only the finest ingredients.

Don’t miss the cauliflower steak crumble with smoked parmesan, elevated by a pomegranate syrup. Or the flaky king prawn baklava, drizzled with bitter lime syrup and garnished with pistachios. It’s a new level of dining that’s not to be missed.
