Tilly Green Owner was so lovely! Food was absolutely incredible we are from around Balham and hadn’t heard of it before but wow. The sweet and sour spicy chicken is phenomenal, especially for the price. Also have home made drinks! 10/10 will come back. Also gave us two free drink tokens for a bar next door

Preston Benson Great value and delicious food, the dirty bab is the one!

Tyler W really wonderful little cafe, with delicious food, cakes and drinks. wifi and plug sockets readily available, so great for studying or just catching up with a friend! one of my favourite places to study :)

Chris Madge Yet another excellent Birthday lunch at Forty Four. Modern Mediterranean/Japanese fusion. All the dishes are faultless, beautifully presented, lovely mix of flavours and cooked to perfection. The Scallops, Calamari and Tuna were popular choices, be careful of the wasabi with the tuna dish as it’s the real deal not the fake stuff you see in most sushi restaurants. The Black Miso cod was sublime and chosen by 4 of us, it did not disappoint. To finish great selection of deserts, clean plates all round. Andrea (recently returned) was an excellent host and happy to share some chef’s recipes as it’s so good. We’ll be back again very soon, possibly the best restaurant in the area, what a gem!

Marie Kalm We recently visited this ramen place and absolutely loved the experience. The atmosphere feels truly authentic — simple, cozy, and very reminiscent of ramen shops in Japan. What made it especially unique is the way you order your ramen. Just like in Japan, you fill out a small paper form, choosing your broth, noodle firmness, spice level, and additional toppings. It really adds to the authenticity and makes you feel like you’re actually dining somewhere in Tokyo. The ramen itself was fantastic - rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh toppings. You can tell that a lot of care goes into every bowl. Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for an authentic Japanese ramen experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Edris Mahrouei I’ve been to Saison by Mauro Colagreco twice now, and it’s a great choice for a special occasion. The food is excellent, and prices are reasonable if you’re just going for a main course. However, if you choose to have a three course meal with drinks, it will cost over £100 per person. There’s a great wine selection, which is no surprise given it’s located in a five star hotel. The staff are amazing, we were looked after by a gentleman called Josh, I believe, or Jacob (apologies if it’s incorrect), however he was very attentive throughout. We were celebrating my friend’s birthday, and the team kindly offered a complimentary dessert, which was a lovely touch. Overall, a very positive experience, and I’d definitely recommend it for a special occasion or a business lunch, especially as they offer a lunch set menu.
