So this was a last minute decision for my partner’s birthday.. and we are so glad we went here. Highly recommended!!! Food was delicious, prepared fresh, affordable and tasted incredible. Drinks were amazing too. We could not recommend this restaurant enough. The chef and the lady serving us (sorry forgot her name) were super lovely!!! They even surprised my partner with a free dessert for his birthday. This was such a nice touch. We are definitely coming back and we are bringing family and friends with us! Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for such a lovely evening. You made his birthday extra special!

Had a wonderful meal at Blue Fig today with my family this afternoon. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled with the variety of choices on the menu. The location is perfect, right opposite Balham station, making it super easy to get to. Samer, the chef and owner, is always warm and welcoming, making every visit special. Veronica's attention to detail ensures that both the hospitality and the food are top-notch. The homemade tahini is superb - a must-try! Highly recommended!

Aside from the location (very close to Balham Station and all the shops), the staff is one of the best thing at Blue Fig. They are patient (my friend and I were a pain ), knowledgeable and very nice. They clearly love their job, the place, and want to make sure the clients are happy. The food is fresh and the recipes delicious, so it's no wonder they won't let anything ruin the moment. Highly recommend. On my list of favourite local spots

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!

We ate at The Blue Fig in Balham this evening and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious – full of amazing flavours and clearly made with care. One of the highlights of our meal was the feta cheese filo pastry rolls – they were truly exquisite and a must-try! After we finished eating, the chef came out to speak with us, which was such a lovely touch. He was extremely friendly and genuinely interested in making sure we had enjoyed our meal. This is a fantastic local restaurant that really deserves support. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all top-notch. Highly recommend!

What a lovely restaurant! I’ve often walked past and finally decided to go for dinner. The staff were very friendly and food fresh and tasty. It was my birthday so the chef gave me a complimentary desert which was very kind. I had the sea bass and my partner the aubergine moussaka. We’d recommend both. It wasn’t very busy which was surprising given the restaurant is a real asset to the Balham food scene.

We had an amazing Mediterranean meal at Blue Fig in Balham — a real gem of a place. The lamb chops were the highlight: beautifully charred on the outside and perfectly tender inside. They were served with rice mixed with minced beef, and paired with a refreshing mint sauce — simple, honest, and absolutely delicious. The service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. We were brought a jar of chilled water with crushed ice, which was such a thoughtful touch on a warm day. The mojito was also spot on — fresh, balanced, and beautifully made. Everything about the experience felt relaxed yet carefully curated. Blue Fog really knows how to deliver on both flavour and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!
