Heart of Balham - HOB

"A cosy little north African spot on Balham High Road that’s often packed on the weekend, Heart Of Balham is the place to come for a halal full English. Just about everything on the menu that includes their roasted seasoned potatoes is a winner. If you’re torn between the buttermilk pancakes or another hot chocolate with marshmallows, get both plus the Moroccan msemen for dessert." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
