Salt Beef Sandwich from @balanslondon who have restaurants in Soho and both Westfields, now have halal chicken, lamb and beef (swipe for the  certificate)

.

They are a British restaurant that serve up all day breakfast, brunch and lunch and dinner. I tried a few items as wa impressed with the food, everything had quality, especially the breakfast eggs, so fresh and creamy! I'll post a more detailed review later, but be sure to check this place out. They run the extended eat out help out offer as well

.

Great to see more non typical places (ie no typical halal places) start serving halal food. A chance to try food you normally can't get. There is non halal meats on the menu, like bacon, however you can order items without, its handled and prepared Seperately, just state to your waiter you want halal and they will make sure they halalifie your food!

I was invited to eat here and meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Balans Shepherd’s Bush on Instagram

Balans, Westfield Shepherds Bush

I am a huge fan of this place. Went recently starters were nice. However my main course which was burgers and chips were awful. The chips were undercooked when chef made new chips they were cooked on outside but mushy inside. Burger bun has changed no longer brioche bun. Service was good. However I will never go back here or recommend this place to anyone after my last experience with food. Such a shame there branch in Ealing Broadway closed. As food was always on point there.

Lovely vibe and ambiance. The staff were very friendly, accommodating with allergies and genuinely nice people. The actual quality of the food was okay, nothing special but also not bad. The vegan pancakes were rather doughy, the lattes were good. Not sure if I would go again but it is good for large groups.

I went to the Balans in Soho and Westfield and I love their menu. The red curry rice and chicken is amazing and the croquettes! This time we went to have brunch and it was really good (although the steak should me medium rare and it was actually well cooked). Good coffee and service!

Bad food. Didn’t even ask how it was when I didn’t eat it. Bad experience.

Fantastic quality of food. Simple menu that makes deciding easy. Nice wine too. And book matches - haven’t seen these in ages!

The chicken and beef across all our locations is now Halal. Halal ingredients are handled and prepared separately to avoid any cross contamination. Please ask a member of staff for more details.
