Bala Baya - London

Bala Baya, Southwark - The Southwark neighbourhood, though close to myself, isn't really somewhere that I intuitively go for when I want to dine out.

Came to Bala Baya for dinner after our first full day in London; it did not disappoint; delivering on its promise of a "taste of Tel Aviv in London".

Made a reservation based on the recent NYT review and was not disappointed.

I always come to this restaurant. the personal is super warm and welcoming. the cocktails are unique and most of the foods are super delicious. discover their mouth aromas and textures. have been many times, so some more new dishes on the menu would be welcome, but overall its always a fabulous experience.

The service was bad and the staff came as arrogant. at the arrival I have the personal over head (and saw them roll their eyes) on a customer who had the boldness to complain about a cocktail. we had to have the staff wait 20 minutes. parts of the tasting menu have been missed. for the price this was not a pleasant experience.
