Bala Baya Restaurant Bankside - (Near Southwark, london)

Kay Butler I pre booked a table for my birthday celebration. I got a few emails saying they were looking forward to welcoming us, and just checking I was ready wanted to cancel. We bought drinks first on arrival as we were an hour early, and sat outside in the sunshine. A great view and atmosphere of the Thames, Shard etc There was a mix of after work drinks, families etc I later told bar staff of my booking. The lady was really lovely and upbeat. She showed us to our table. A great choice of main meals, small plates, desserts etc The waiting staff were brilliant. Checking all was OK, food etc, and I was wished a great birthday. We will be back. A short train ride might be easier than parking outside, although you can put your registration number in for free parking. Rotherhithe has lots of history of the old docks and Brunel. A must for historians. Cant wait to visit again! Its a must! Thanks for making my birthday special!

Lilu Cool We had an absolutely wonderful evening at this place, and a big part of that was thanks to Rafael. He truly did everything to make our night special and unforgettable. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care for our table did not go unnoticed. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious — honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. The service was outstanding from start to finish. A huge thank you to Rafael for creating such a beautiful experience for us. We will definitely be coming back!

dimple madnani I went to Saka Maka in Sydenham with my family today. Had a great time. The food is lip smacking. My 3 year old also enjoyed the food. We ordered vegetarian options and were really happy with the dishes. Would definitely visit again.

Paula Luchian lovely place to get a super tasty and fast pizza, my go-to when coming back home late x

Samuel Spear The schnitzel sandwich was great, but the crispy crushed potatoes were literally some of the best potatoes Ive ever had in my life! Well worth a trip.

Shawla A This place is the best buka vibe in the UK I have been to. I keep coming back. Food is very delicious and portions are massive. Vibe is good too. There is parking out front. I couldnt even finish my food.
