The American Bar - (Near Westminster, london)

Martha Medina We made a reservation to visit Lajo de Karahi, and I’m glad we did because the place was full when we arrived. The atmosphere was lively and authentic. This was my first time trying Pakistani food, and I was invited by my daughter, who told me it was one of her favorite restaurants — and now I completely understand why. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish had rich, fresh flavors and felt perfectly homemade. Another great detail is that you can bring your own alcoholic drinks, which makes the experience even better. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was quick and friendly, and everything we ordered was worth it. Definitely a place I would return to. If you’re in London and want to try authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine, Lajo de Karahi is a must-visit.

C S Lovely pub! Came for drinks and ended up eating as the food looked lovely. Came quickly, good fish and chips and roast was generous portion, only thing was half a chicken was only a leg but was still plenty of food Nice outdoor area too

Laura Quinn Came to Kudasai due to the 5* reviews with no expectations really. Walked into a really relaxed cafe atmosphere, which the amazing chef Joel converts into a Japanese restaurant from 6-10pm Tuesday to Saturday. Wow. I can honestly say we had a 5* experience. The food blew expectations out of the water. The fish was fresh, sushi perfect, the crispy rice and miso aubergine were out of this world and you could tell the wasabi didn’t come out of the usual packet. It was fresher. And hit the spots! We spoke to the chef at the end and what a pleasure it was. A must try in Balham! Thank you so much! We will be back for open mic night.

Hollie Bayliss Great pizza - fast. Did the £10 medium pizza pickup deal. Lovely people / service

Sam Block and Bar is a great spot for quality food with a modern grillhouse feel. I had the mixed grill, and the meat was excellent – tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. There’s a nice variety to choose from, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Portion sizes were on the smaller side for a mixed grill, but the quality of the food really stood out. What makes Block and Bar even better is the number of offers available. Since it’s attached to a Premier Inn, you can get 25% off food as part of the room deals, and if you sign up, you also receive 25% off meals, which makes it much better value. I also tried the breakfast in the morning, and it was tasty, fresh, and a solid way to start the day. Overall, Block and Bar delivers great-tasting food, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of deals that make it worth visiting whether you’re staying at the hotel or just popping in for a meal. A little more on portion sizes would make it perfect, but the quality and value balance it out nicely.

Usman Sadiq We didn’t actually plan to go there. We were just passing by, saw the place, and decided to try it for the first time. Honestly, it was exactly the taste I was craving. I really really loved their sweet lassi and daal. Just wow. The flavour reminded me so much of home food. I was completely surprised by how good it was. I genuinely loved it, and whenever I come to Tooting again, I will definitely go back. Highly highly recommend! ❤️
