    This restaurant is my favourite in Balham. Great for early dinners with children or a great night with friends. Food is always of a high standard and staff are so friendly. Book as a popular place

    Lived in Balham/Tooting for about 12 years now and been going to this restaurant a couple of times per year. Always amazing food, pleasant staff and it’s never too busy to enjoy my evening. Lovely stuff.

    We had a lovely meal at Ghurka’s in Balham on Valentine’s Day. The service was very attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. Food was fantastic, really tasty and something different than your average restaurant. All very reasonably priced, overall great evening, would (and have to friends) highly recommend.

    Very pleasant Friday night dinning experience. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Food portions are ok and presented well. The flavours were a little bland for me. But overall really enjoyed and a nice change from the Tooting curry houses.

    Great food, excellent value, service made us feel valued. Last time we ate here was about 10 years ago before our kids were born, probably because we thought they might not like it. How wrong we were and now cannot think why we haven't been back sooner - will definitely not wait long to go back.
