Finally found good Pasticciotto outside of Puglia. Coffee is typical Italian style espresso but it’s the pastries that make the place.

The interior design it's quite amazing in my opinion. Great hot chocolate and atmosphere was straight up relaxing and relatively fun. Great for studying, reading a book or for couples to have breakfast/lunch.

I'm incredibly impressed by the speed and quality of work. I called in the evening asking to fix my electric heaters and Andrew was happy to fix them early in the morning the next day. Its a very trustworthy person, I left the key with him, and when he finished he was happy to drop it off at my work place. Andrew takes time to make sure everything is done properly. Very highly recommended. Brilliant service!!!

An excellent service provided by London Electricians 24/7. Andrei was immediately ready to assist when two storage heaters needed fixing and his price quote was very reasonable. He came within the hour and quickly resolved. I would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of an electrician, particularly at short notice.

I cannot recommend this service highly enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I had no water Saturday morning, and arranged a visit with Andre for Sunday in the 12-5 appointment window. I had a restaurant booking for 2pm Sunday I had forgotten about and when I called Andre to see if he can please come closer to 5 so I wouldn’t miss my outing, he went above and beyond for me!! He arrived within a few hours (late on a Saturday night,) checked my boiler out, and came back this (Sunday) morning at 8am with my new boiler. and a helping hand to have it installed. I write this with a new boiler installed about 24 hours after reporting the problem, on my way to my booking with no problems. Never has something that felt like a crisis gone so smoothly. Thank you SO much Andre!!!! He was also careful and considerate with my very curious cat and I really appreciate that as well. A friendly guy who does a great job. I will absolutely be recommending this service to anyone I can, and hope this review has helped you decide this is definitely the right company to call. 🤝

Really lovely experience dealing with Andrew , the installation was quick and efficient. We got the boiler in 2 days later after the one we had broke . Usually you would have to wait at least 7-14 days for a new boiler to be delivered. He even repainted for us ! Will definitely be using him again for anything we need and would highly recommend him to other people Thanks so much Andrew !!

Perfect place if you want to eat breakfast prepared with passion. Guys working here are very helpful and polite. They really care about customer, place is clean, food fresh and well prepared. Notice those chips. Believe me or not but I’ve never ate better than those. Elsewhere in UK chips taste as sh (except one other place in Ewel) but NOT IN THIS PLACE. They are really fresh!

Portions were really generous, and the food was cooked really well. Nice and simple menu, plenty of options, everything you want from you local cafe. They had a high chair for our little one and the staff are really friendly. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back soon. We had the sunrise breakfast and the cod and chips for brunch.

I am very scared of traditional cafes as they always serve cheap ingredient greasy food. But this one hit the spot - thick bacon, good portions and fresh from the griddle. We were allowed to bring our dog inside too! Definitely recommend :)

So this was a last minute decision for my partner’s birthday.. and we are so glad we went here. Highly recommended!!! Food was delicious, prepared fresh, affordable and tasted incredible. Drinks were amazing too. We could not recommend this restaurant enough. The chef and the lady serving us (sorry forgot her name) were super lovely!!! They even surprised my partner with a free dessert for his birthday. This was such a nice touch. We are definitely coming back and we are bringing family and friends with us! Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for such a lovely evening. You made his birthday extra special!

What a lovely restaurant! I’ve often walked past and finally decided to go for dinner. The staff were very friendly and food fresh and tasty. It was my birthday so the chef gave me a complimentary desert which was very kind. I had the sea bass and my partner the aubergine moussaka. We’d recommend both. It wasn’t very busy which was surprising given the restaurant is a real asset to the Balham food scene.

Highly recommend! We visited this place for breakfast. At first, we were a bit unsure since it was empty, but in the end, we were so happy we came! This place is absolutely amazing: the Christmas decorations made it feel very cozy and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious – we shared a portion of the English breakfast, and I will never forget those hash browns. The orange juice was freshly pressed. Even though we didn’t order much, we felt completely comfortable and never judged by the staff. At the end of our meal, we even had the chance to meet the chef, who was such a kind and friendly person!

Travelled up from Wales and booked last minute. Absolutely fabulously tasty food and we'd definitely return. Service was timely and friendly and the chef popped out too to say hello. Such a cute place, loved everything about it - including just a few paces from Balham tube station.

Was looking for brunch spots in Balham and came across blue fig, hadn’t really heard of it hence giving it a try. When we arrived we were seated promptly as it wasn’t massively busy, the waitress attending was very friendly and attentive, the menu was decent unfortunately a few things we wanted to order were not available. The food itself was reasonable the frittatas were particularly nice. It’s a decent spot to visit, the lack of items available let it down a bit.

We had the most delicious birthday meal here. The food is a mixture of Spanish tapas and Mediterranean meze dishes. The highlights were the borek and the calamari but everything we ordered was excellent. The staff was just as amazing as the food. Serhat was friendly and attentive and added to the experience. I would 100% recommend Betto. We will definitely be back.

TURKISH BREAKFAST We had the best breakfast in terms of the taste and the service. Menemen (scrambled eggs with mashed tomato) was amazing! The service is also great that they were really kind/friendly; and hospitality was what you’d expect from a Turkish place! Price reasonable: main dish ~11 per person. With drinks & desert ~22 pp.

I recently hired 24/7 Power Up Electrical Ltd, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Rizwan. He was extremely friendly, professional, and offered a fair price for the job. Rizwan completed the work efficiently and with great attention to detail, ensuring everything was done to a high standard. I highly recommend Rizwan and 24/7 Power Up Electrical Ltd for any electrical needs.

I recently had the pleasure of using 24/7 Power Up Electrical, and I must say, Rizwan exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I contacted him, his customer service was responsive and professional, scheduling my service quickly and at a convenient time. He arrived on time and was knowledgeable, and friendly. He assessed the issue and explained the work that needed to be done in a way I could easily understand. The job was completed efficiently, and the work was top-notch. One of the standout aspects was the commitment to safety and detail. He made sure everything was up to code and took the time to clean up after the work was done. Plus, the rates were reasonable, especially considering the high level of service. Thank you

I can’t recommend Loulou Cafe enough! This charming coffee shop is a true hidden gem, perfectly blending a warm atmosphere with delightful offerings. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. The decor is inviting, creating a wonderful space to relax and unwind. Let’s talk about the pastries—absolutely delicious! Each one is freshly made and bursting with flavour. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or savoury, there’s something for everyone. They truly elevate the coffee shop experience, and I often find myself wanting to try everything on the menu. And speaking of coffee, the large lattes here are nothing short of amazing! Not only are they generously sized, but they’re also crafted to perfection. Each sip is a delightful combination of rich, smooth flavours that really hit the spot. It's the perfect accompaniment to those scrumptious pastries! The shop also features a lovely downstairs section, which adds to the overall charm. It’s a cozy nook where you can escape the hustle and bustle above, making it an ideal spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. What really sets Loulou Cafe apart is the outstanding customer service. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to share a smile and a chat. Their passion for creating a great experience is evident, and it truly enhances the whole vibe of the place. You can tell that they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their offerings. If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy quality coffee and pastries, Loulou Cafe is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their fantastic menu! Highly recommend for anyone in search of a lovely coffee shop experience!

Phil came over on the same day that I called, and was accommodating in terms of time of arrival, fitting things around my work schedule.

Very easy company to deal with. From initial booking through to the installation everything went very smoothly. We were kept well informed about how the installation was progressing.

After researching home EV chargers, I decided to select my own charger and get it professionally installed. EV Domestic were selected as they were attractive, appeared knowledgeable without being pushy, and pricing was attractive. Their engineer was a delight and whilst I realised the power would need to be off for part of the installation, he kept this to the end and it was off for less that 5 minutes! Then a tutorial on the unit, and was available for questions by phone if I had any issues over the first few days. Genuinely great service and I would happily recommend them.

This is very rare nowadays believe me, I highly rate this company. Thank you so much for all your kind help & support. 😊

Great service !!!! These guys are brilliant , the engineer (Nick) arrived on schedule and went out of his way to cater for our needs rather than the easiest installation. He made sure that we understood everything and the app was set up and working before he left. Very friendly and didn’t complain about all of my novice questions. EV Domestic’s customer service department are amazing , we had a minor issue with our Ohme Home Pro charger , which wasn’t any fault of EVD’s and still they came out and fixed it without any quibbles. The customer service team again kept us informed every step of the way and went beyond the call of duty to find a solution to our problem. If EVD made guitar amplifiers the theirs would go up to 11 (Extra Points for anyone who gets that reference).😎😎 If you are thinking about getting an EV charger then look no further than EVD , in my humble opinion ; EV Domestic are second to none. Anyway , great job EVD , customer satisfaction 11/10. 👍👍 Excellent in every way.
