Restaurant has a great location. And very good ambience. But it had poor service. Menu was not well explained, food was terrible, breads were cold, and it was not value for money.

I love Balila for the food! I’ve tried most of the dishes and I’m delighted by the flavors! But I do think service has an opportunity to improve. My friends and I had to remind the server more than three times what we ordered. In general it is a lovely place with great food!
