From the humble beginning, our name couldn’t be closer to the truth. HOB, aka Heart Of Balham, refers to the longevity and location of our much-loved eatery, making us a well-established part of the local community.
“Besseha”…
With a love of traditional flavours and spices, We have aimed to represent these through some of the traditional Breakfast & Brunch foods as well as giving you flavours and colours with some staple and authentic foods from Palestine, Giza, Marrakech, Turkey and Lebanon.
HOB is an extension of our home and with just one bite you’ll feel like you’re sitting amongst the magic and mayhem of Marrakech!
wlt6482023-02-23Had brunch in HOB today. It certainly lives up to it's reviews, deffo worth a visit, we had a Lebanese and Veggie Lebanese Breakfast, nice sized portion, attentive staff and reasonably priced...Maria Gil2023-02-22Muy buenaThe Ornate Journal2023-02-16So shocked I haven't rated this gem of a cafe sooner! I've not spent so much money so consistently in London 😅 it's amazing. My favourite dish is chicken and waffle! Food is usually very fresh. I usually go on Sunday and there tends to be about a 10 min wait between 11-1, but by one is much better. The staff are wonderful. The only pull back is of course, the size of the place but they do their best to seat peopleangela kollath-newport2023-02-11Lovely food. But a very small venue. Felt a bit overcrowded.Nora Hanna S.2023-02-07Went there for a Sunday brunch. The staff was lovely. I was delighted to find so many Vegan option and my family was happy to have halal options too. It was delicious and the amount of food on the plates was perfect ( not too much and not too little).Wendy Thuo2023-01-28LOVE this place so much, I wish it wasn’t as popular as it as it can sometimes be hard to get a seat depending on what times your go. BUT it’s worth it. Amazing food with good portion sizes, friendly & attentive staff literally in the heart of Balham - you guys should start doing loyalty cards!
