Heart of Balham - HOB

Family-run since 1994 and now in its second generation, this deli and eatery weaves Moroccan and wider North African and Middle Eastern flavours into familiar breakfast and brunch plates. It's a flexible sort of place — reservations on weekdays, walk-ins only at weekends, plus outdoor seating, a dog-friendly welcome and step-free access. With a 4.6 rating from 635 reviews, the affection from the Balham neighbourhood runs deep after nearly three decades.
