Bala's Bistro offers a delightful dining experience with its vibrant and spicy African-inspired cuisine. The restaurant features a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and meat-based options, including the popular jollof rice with vegan curry and jerk chicken. Customers praise the generous portions, decent prices, and the overall quality of the food. The cafe is no frills, but the food more than makes up for this, with clearly marked vegan options that are plentiful. The peanut stew and plantain are particularly delicious, and the dishes are so good that many visitors find themselves returning regularly.
The restaurant is praised for its authentic West African flavors, with a menu that caters to both meat-eaters and vegans. Diners can indulge in perfectly cooked red snapper, accompanied by a flavorful serving of black-eyed peas and fragrant jollof rice, or opt for the vegan jollof rice with saka saka (spinach and onions) and maafe (creamy peanut butter stew). The staff is friendly, the place is nice and clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Overall, Bala's Bistro is a hidden gem worth exploring for those seeking an authentic taste of African heritage.
