“Andrea has the sweetest customer service. Amazing Venezuelan Arepas, I had the no:4 veggie arepas and it tasted too good. Sweetest plantain told, so if you love a plantain I suggest coming here you will not be disappointed and really good portion sizes too.”

I’d like to think I’m quite well versed in street food. I’ve tried food from all over the world and had arepas many times before. None have even come close to how good these were. I had the Beef - Pelua. From start to finish everything about this arepa was incredible. The bread, the sauce, the meat was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauces were rich but not overpowering. The cheese inside was melted perfectly and I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Nothing but praise for the food they serve. Thank you.

Lovely tasty food and customer care. Friendly informative staff. We had Pabellon, pulled beef, plantain and black beans and rice. Cannot wait to try the arepas.

Me and my friends had about 3 hotdogs and an Arepa between us. The Hotdogs are insanely good, lots of flavour and good value. Would recommend out of all the food options in One Love: Balham

“A classy and spacious new Chinese restaurant in Balham. It has a light atmosphere with modern decors. It's very clean too. My son treated me for lunch there, and it was such a treat indeed! The service was fast and was served with an attentive restaurant staff. The food was very tasty, well-balanced, and authentic. Their portions are worth the money. We were given some Chinese crackers, which was very welcoming. This place is highly recommendable and will visit again and again.”

“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!”

“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.”

“This was, hands down, the best Asian food I have ever had. Such a lovely homely atmosphere and for the bottomless sushi, really great price. Super authentic and service was great too. We are from up north otherwise we would be back here really soon!”

“Amazing food, the tea was amazing. Really put a great impression on British Breakfast. I recommend the Chicken and Waffles. Their homemade syrup is delicious. I had the English Breakfast Tea and the Mint Tea, both were amazing. They had good gluten free options for my mom. Definitely a need to visit place.”
