Fantastic vegan meal for me and meat options for my husband. We are from Australia and just arrived in Memphis. I googled vegan meals near me and it came up. I highly recommend Bala’s Bistro to anyone looking for flavoursome food. Bless you all, well done!

Really helpful and kind ladies working in the front. Our first time visiting and took a minute to figure out the whole families order and they were really patient. Its clean, good vibes. The food was good, the meat pies were very good. I loved the spicy sauce and their jerk sauce. Recommend!

I really wanted to love this place. My first order was fairly good….a tad bland but I’m like ok let me try again. today’s order HORRIBLE!!! the Egusi smelled and looked sour. The protein started to break down like food left to sit overnight. I was mortified at the smell and the audacity of them to sell this to a customer (via Doordash).. The Fatayas were super dry AGAIN. I gave them a pass the first time. the Lamb Saka was something else like some gross canned Spinach/?meat droplets. At this point I’m afraid to finish my food in fear it’s unhealthy. Based on some of the negative feedback and their lack of response they obviously don’t value feedback so it’s a wrap. I will NOT order here again. I really wanted to become a regular. Oh well…

Greeted when we came in. Took a minute to look over the menu and then placed an order. First thing I ordered, I was told that they no longer serve. Unsure why it was on the menu still if it wasn’t being served. Decided to go with the jerk chicken. I have had a lot of jerk chicken but this one didn’t taste like any I’ve had before. It was pretty bland. The vegetables was salty and not very enjoyable. I was told to try the lamb so maybe I’ll try that later but didn’t care for the food I ordered.

Ordered a vegan sausage wrap with fries. The fries were undercooked, soggy , and the wrap was greasy, too much oil. Also ordered a salad with salmon. They forgot the salmon and the salad is NOTHING but lettuce and a couple of cherry tomatoes. No cucumbers, no onions, no cheese…NOTHING ELSE!! Who calls that a salad?? I tried them because they have great reviews but my order was a complete waste of money.
