Reviews of Megan's on the Hill (Balham)
G.
Food was nice with good flavours but wasn’t a fan of the cheese fondue with brunch. Restaurant was well decorated and had plenty of seating. Felt that the service was good on arrival but had to ask for water 3 times until we got it and the same for the card machine for payment.
L. N.
Came here with a friend a few days ago who, although not lactose intolerant has to limit dairy intake. It was busy however, we were well looked after. Special thanks to Emma, who not only took the time to establish any dietary requirements, she made us feel welcome, was attentive and helpful. It was our first time here; the food was delicious; the service was efficient and we would definitely visit again!
A. d. K.
An ok brunch spot in an area where you’re competing with extraordinary brunch spots. Seating is great, staff attentive and friendly. Well catered for if you have allergies.
The meal itself was just ok. The sausages lacked flavour, eggs more on the hard than soft side if poached and you need to order an extra slice of toast to get your fill.
D. P.
Megan's saved our evening after an initial duff restaurant booking elsewhere. Food was tasty, hot and served promptly by attentive friendly staff. Wine was good value for London. Another restaurant goer told us that not all tips go to the staff, so we paid that by cash to our excellent host. Shame on Megan's if that is the case, the front and back of house staff deserve the full service charge payments.
C. B.
Great food, nice atmosphere, and good service. We really enjoyed our lunch. Highly recommended.
A. H.
What a wonderful experience! All of the staff were brilliant and accommodating. The food was delicious and plentiful for a group of 22 hungry ladies ! Stella and Victor were absolutely amazing. Stella went above and beyond to ensure our entire experience from start to finish was nothing short of amazing. Would 100% recommend. We will definitely be returning! Thanks Ani, Sarah and Coco
N. M.
4.5 First time in a Megan's and really liked the menu, not too wide. We tried the sharing lunch platter and added halloumi and hummus with crispy lamb. All very tasty. The setting and atmosphere created is relaxing and staff all lovely. I would definitely go back.
N. W.
We saw this restaurant on our shopping trip nearby so giving it a try. The atmosphere was excellent, especially for the summer months. Unfortunately, we were told there was no table available inside the restaurant but we didn't mind sitting outside. Food was good and we benefited from the cocktail happy hours too! We will book in next time to sit inside as it looks so beautiful!
E. S.
I love Megan’s they can do no wrong. You know exactly what you’re getting and the bottomless is such good value - your glass is never empty either.
Visited here a few times but one time in particular with my mum, she was chatting to a lady who works there who was just so kind and such lovely service! They bonded as they both have aquamarine rings and I just felt the woman spent extra time talking to my mum whilst serving us and being lovely that it really made our visit! She’s a credit to this Megan’s!
I have visited on other occasions and the chap who usually is front of house (perhaps manager?) is sometimes quite rude and dismissive. Other than that, this Megan’s is up there with the one at the pavement!
S. M.
Great range of seating and especially loved the semi open seating area at the back. The food was good, and the service was nice.
There was a good variety of vegetarian mezze and small plate options which was good.
O. G.
We arrived and happened to be the only people in the restaurant, it was mine and my partners valentines redo after having covid on the real event. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, drinks to a while to arrive which was a bit annoying at it was quiet but not a big deal. The food was fantastic despite watching it sit on the pass for 10 minutes whilst the waiter chatted with some drinkers (not a problem with that it was just frustrating seeing our food sit there for so long). Will deffo go back.
D. D.
Plant based kebab wrap was one of the best plant based meals I've ever had out. Great atmosphere and staff too!
N. K.
The best customer service ever. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience a great one. The food is always good but it's the service that sets them apart. Great for families with small children.
A. C.
As a first time visitor to this lovely restaurant for brunch, I was impressed by the wonderful customer service. Very friendly and always smiling. The food was excellent (although the portions could be a little bigger) but I would definitely recommend and go there again.
A. M.
Beautiful brunch spot. Thanks to Hani for the amazing service 10/10! Would recommend the Turkish feast.
D. J. P.
26/10/21 - I've eaten at this place regularly for the past 6 months. Within the context of 80+ eating experiences - the staff are brilliant, attentive to customer needs and the food is consistently good. The service industry is not infallible it's reliant on people to make it work - the most important thing is that places (Megan's endorse this principle) strive to continually improve how they deliver their service. I understand disappointment (the one star reviews) but a place like this, who serve maybe 300+ people on a busy day can't be judged by one or two individuals single experience.....
d. c.
Second time coming here and it very nice. The food was very nice, I wanted a bacon sandwich, which isn't on the menu but they made it for me. Staff were great, very friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend and be back.
M.
Lovely food, decent price, and really great staff! The halloumi fries in particular are delicious!
D. J.
Second visit to a Megan’s and we thought we would try a different one. It was very good, busy and full. Staff were very attentive and gave great service, always checking back - which is nice. Food was superb - I had the vegan bowl - very tasty! Manager was really nice and spent time talking to us - a nice touch. Will definitely be back! Or to another Megans!!
S. T.
Had a delicious lunch in lovely surroundings. Thank you + see you again soon 😊
W. _.
Such a beautiful place! Everything is so clean and the interior design is stunning! Feels like you dont want to leave the place anymore. Amazing and friendly staff and the tea&coffee was spot on! Will come back to try that mouth watering food. Not mentioning they let our Mr.Shoe in! Not too many dog friendly places out there these days.
S. S.
The restaurant has a nice feel and the staff who served our party were very friendly and attentive. There are a good range of cocktails that are well made - espresso martini highly recommended. That side of things would get 5 stars.
The Food:
To start I had cheese fondue croquettes. Sadly when I bit into the croquette, a greasy liquid that exploded all over my clothing - of course I should have used a knife and fork. They were made with a rather non-descript cheese and served with a honey dip. Usually a blue cheese, goats cheese or sharp feta would go well with a sweet sauce like this. The combo here didn't really work.
I had a plant based Chkn open kebab for main. This would have been lovely but the mock chicken fillets really aren't good, they're very similar to (if not the same as) a brand of mock products sold in waitrose (in white packaging with large white letters). No doubt its my personal preference, but I find this particular line of products to have an underlying salty and chlorinated flavour. Besides this, the other bits in the wrap were fine and the flat bread was nice. Maybe the meat options are better. To accompany the wrap I had fries and I found them to be rather grease laden, as if they'd not quite landed on the fryer when it was hot enough.
Overall I felt quite let down by the food. And others in my party, tried a range of dishes and were not impressed for how this restaurant is marketed. I think most of us felt a little short changed in terms of the quality vs cost. I too felt the food was a little on the high side for what arrived on the plate.
I feel 3 stars is commensurate to the overall experience.
K. O.
Booked Megan's for a friend's baby shower, had great service and they booked the 'flower room' for us. The food was amazing and they kept us stay way part our booking slot. Note they don't offer corkage fee if you are thinking of taking 'nosecco' for any pregnant friends.
M. _.
We had lovely time here because the atmosphere is very cosy and warming. Our baby was well distracted with all the lights so we had opportunity to eat slowly ourselves which is precious for new parents!!! The waitress was amazing and food nice but a little on salty side. We enjoyed the coffee as well plus the place had good baby changing facilities. The only disappointment was that they don’t accept Amex which is inconvenience for us.
L. A.
Megan’s has a great vibe. From the decor to the atmosphere generated by it always being full (when I’ve been), you will love this place! The seating plan is not overcrowded giving enough room to chat and catch up without listening in on the next person. And to top it both coffee and food is great. Final nail in the coffin for me, is dogs are welcome. If your looking for somewhere different, I’d highly recommend you get yourself down to Megan’s. Booking is definitely recommended.
A. M.
Superb service team - really friendly, efficient and subtle. In for a mid-size celebration brunch today and these guys really added to the atmosphere. Great drinks and daytime food menu. Loved the decor too. Will be back
E. B.
5 stars does not do this place justice. Hand down the most exquisite meals I have ever eaten. The staff were welcoming and charming. The decor was clean and calming. The food was to die for. I had the halloumi messe and every bite was even more incredible than the last. Also they allow dogs which makes it even better! I cannot wait to visit here again
A. H.
5 days late, but this review is for Victor, the most gracious and entertaining host. Thank you for the hospitality and excellent service received at the Balham branch, they are lucky to have you there! Look forward to booking the venue for future functions!
p.
Been a few times and food has been lovely but cocktails even better! Ambiance is also really nice and I’d suggested booking ahead of time
p. h.
Food was amazing , menu is great , my food I had was great, I ordered a lemon cake for afters and it was out of this world
Service was a little slow but they was very busy so I will give them the benefit of the doubt . Price was fair for the area and quality .
The space and decor was very good also
I really recommend this place ...5 stars from me 👌
N. A. -.
Very cute venue , the decor is beautiful , if you like flowers and fairy lights this venue is for you . I had the garlic flat bread and Turkish mezze they were OK, i would like to go back and try something else. Lovely staff great atmosphere
M. S.
Great brunch. Great prices. Took my Mum for her Birthday - she had a wonderful time. Recommend the honey halloumi fries! Only thing is I think the coffee is a little overpriced compared to other high street coffee shops - so I wouldn't pop in for a morning coffee!
D. S.
It’s a new place, I believe that the staff is still adapting. The menu is interesting but the prices are confusing. We ordered a 3 salad plate and two chicken thighs and we were not sure how much was it. Food was good, I think it just needs a bit of time to get on their feet.
Will come back another time.
Thank you!
B. K.
Great ambiance here, great food and coffee. I love the brunches and the dinners are also good- sometimes a little too heavy (huge portions) but generally quite healthy.
Recommend booking as gets very busy!
D. W.
Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. The food is also super tasty with a combination of kebabs or salads. We’ve been here several times for lunch and it’s always been great. They’re also dog friendly too which is convenient
E. T.
Staff were accommodating even though we didn't book a table. The service and food was great!
R. P.
Cosy, comfortable and charming. Great vibes, wonderful menu. Shakhalloumi very tasty along with the cookie dough pudding. Staff really helpful and genuine. Highly recommended.
S. B.
I can't even properly explain to you how amazing Megan's is. Not only is the food incredible and I mean INCREDIBLE but my friend, who's birthday it was, was made to feel so special by every singlw staff member. In fact the staff were fabulous generally anyway and each of them went out of their way to ensure everyone was properly greeted and looked after. Couldn't recommend enough. Thank you guys! ***So we revisited again and Monty is the absolute best. He was super attentive and made sure we were always looked after!!!***
F.
A very welcoming venue with polite, friendly and attentive staff. Considering the customer on the day, the staffs were very professional and remained polite, attentive and friendly. Enjoyed my visit.
W. G.
Had a lovely brunch with friends here the other day where Debby was our server, she made us all feel welcome and truly made the experience all the more enjoyable :))
c. p.
The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with welcoming staff, however i am not impressed by the way allergies are handled. I have been here 4 times, each time letting the staff know about my allergies and getting their advice on what would be suitable for me, and each time I have been given something I am allergic to. It's a shame because the food looks very nice, and other people I have been with enjoyed their meal, but if you have any allergies I would steer clear.
A. R.
First visit today and 10/10 amazing experience. Best dog friendly restaurant in London. Dog biscuits, dog beds and dog bowls and they make such a fuss of your dogs. I will be returning. Tomorrow.
A. M.
Great brunch!
Lovely menu with a good variety of choices. Service is great given how constantly busy the restaurant is.
Only downside is that it’s so popular you have to book in advance or wait a while for a table at peaks times. We booked in advance this time and there was a slight mix up with the booking time, however the staff quickly found us a table and dealt with it in a very friendly and professional manner.
E. B.
What a wonderful cosy place. With wonderful food. And happy friendly welcoming staff. Look forward to a return visit when I am next in the area.
M. T.
Great place to go with babies during week days. Beautiful venue, welcoming staff, delicious food and breastfeeding friendly. Also lot's of space for prams.
C. G.
Meze mixed grill was ok. The chicken was lovely and spicy, but the lamb was bland and the sausage hard. The halloumi fries are lovely.
Staff are super freindly.
T.
The gluten free bread for the posh lamb doner could be better (basically brown toast) but the food was excellent, and nice to have GF options.
G. H.
Absolutely delightful for a brunch. Great flavours in the food, good portion sizes and really wonderful engaging staff. I most definitely will be coming back. Thank you top chiefs and the warm staff you all made our Monday.
L. H.
Amazing service and the food was out of this world. Can’t remember the waiters name but he had long hair and was super chatty, a credit to the company! The food was amazing but unfortunately I was too busy eating it I didn’t get a chance to snap a photo. FYI - try their Honey Halloumi Fires, they’re insane!
T. F.
Good food, smiley service and its very dog and baby friendly. There is a decent selection of veg and vegan options
X. A.
The food was absolutely amazing but the toilet was not so nice the hot tap spun all the way around and didnt turn on but overall the place was quite nice and it was very good.
N. S.
We were served by a lovley lady, cant remember her name but she wears a beautiful aquamarine ring. So friendly and helpful. She made the visit fabulous. The food was delicious, we all really enjoyed it. And will be back!
N. K.
Very nice brunch restaurant with a baby/ kids friendly environment. Wonderful setting, friendly staff and tasty food. One of the top in Balham.
V. S. B.
Really tasty breakfast. I had the veggie one and it was massive couldn't finish it. 4 slices of bread which is more than most places. Mushrooms have a great sauce. Halloumi done perfectly. We didn't wait for a table and it was 11am. I really recommend.
B.
Stylish venue. A little bit of a madhouse and so getting service can be a challenge and may require flagging a waiter down. But would recommend it.
A. G.
Slow service and drinks only came when we received our food. Food was hot and tasted lovely.
S. B.
Lovely food and drinks, could have been a bit better with greeting and handing menus instead of throwing them down.
J. G.
Had dinner here on a Wednesday evening. Absolutely amazing atmosphere, delicious food and super friendly staff!
B. S.
Food was good, price was good and my Dog liked it too.
G. W.
Delicious brunch, lovely staff & very dog friendly!
A. O.
Left a rating but not a review of this absolute gem. Food is absolutely fantastic, beautiful inviting environment and the friendliest of staff. Great for a date, for fun with friends or a bottomless! Ticks all the boxes
A. S.
It's a lovely place but very disorganized so it took a while to eat and I had to chase my daughter's food more than I'd like.
S. S.
Get the fried halloumi!!!! (It comes with honey on it) coffee here was great too, we sat outside and it was nice and sunny. Staff was friendly.
T. B.
Fantastic food and attentive service. Wife said it's the most romantic restaurant in London - would probably have to agree.
A. R.
Incredible service, in particular 1 ( Spanish) waiter, don't know the name, was wearing a black facemask and a beige top. Super attentive, friendly, my friend who has a few allergies was given all the information needed. Food was great too, pictured bloody Mary nicely decorated, nice spicy flavour! Smoked salmon and tabouleh was fresh and herby! The place looked clean and comfortable.
S. W.
I had my 30th birthday brunch at Megan's Balham and we could not have been looked after any better. We had the brunch group booking menu and there was a good amount of food for each person. The group area next to the flower wall is so beautiful and looks great in photos! Our waitress, Magda I believe, was fantastic and everyone had a great time.
A. L.
I visited Megan's for brunch on my birthday and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating! Thank you Balham Team <3
C. B.
Loved it! Been there with my few friends for a bottomless brunch last weekend, and the food was nice!
But what I personally liked was the waitress Hanna how she was very attentive to our food and drinks during our visit! She was always on top of everything and topping up our drinks straight away when it were almost finished. Always there. Thank you Hanna for making our visit fun! 🙏🏽💞
E. J.
I've always liked this location, and it appears that they're expanding. Excellent personnel. It's cosy, but it's still fantastic. I've never had a problem with the food.
C. C.
Not the widest selection of food but the calamari and mixed grill we had were tasty. Unfortunately, our garlic bread was over salty and not that garlicky. Shame.
Staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere was lovely.
K. F.
Very friendly, both to humans and dogs! They welcomed my pup with a treat and a bowl of water, which went down well, and my Eggs Royale was delicious! We will be going back, without a doubt!
S. B.
Decor was amazing, lovely place but the food wasn't nice at all. I ordered egg Benedict and it was so tangy the normal breakfast tea wasn't nice at all. I won't be going back there again as I didn't enjoy the food and didn't even have half of my food.
J. B.
Great spot for a bottomless brunch. Happy and attentive staff with a good service time and constantly made sure our glasses were full!
W. S.
Beautiful setting. Great food during eat out to help out
D. B.
It's okay. Staff were friendly and waived the bill.
Ordered scrambled egg on toast. It was quite basic and a small portion. Looked like just 1 egg and a small slice of bread. Expensive for what it was.
Tea pot and cup were a little grubby, but fine after a little wipe.
Not the worst experience ever but wouldn't rush back.
J. H.
Great vegan options and dogs are welcome (they even provide doggy treats!) Lovely, friendly staff.
T. Y.
Lovely place, great menu. Food was delicious, really good service. Extensive wine menu but only 2 beers if that's your thing.
J. L.
One of my favourite spots in Balham. The staff is lovely and the food is fantastic.
T. B.
The best of the visit has been the food really amazing and the waiter's treatment so polite and attentive who I remember that calls Matt.
But in the other way, so disappointed. Today has been so unpleasant to have dinner there while one of the staff/white suit was without mask talking by the phone without bear in mind that is a mandatory to wear inside.
I’ll come back, I love the decoration and ambiance of the bar.
K. B.
great bottomless brunch, delicious food and excellent service. all staff are really good with keeping your drink topped up and they're all very friendly. My friend has an allergy and they were really careful about that too. would recommend!
t. b.
This is a really lovely place to meet in respect of the staff who are so friendly and genuinely helpful . It is also decorared beautifully and kept very clean . Since lockdown they have an app you download so they will contact you if someone becomes unwell with Coronavirus, which is exactly what it should be , so that makes you feel as safe as you can in these circumstances, also my age range is in the range where this virus becomes more serious . Altogether there was myself and two other friends . Two of us had open chicken kebab which we both thought was slightly too spicy for a kebab which was a shame because it was very tasty and the bread was very nice . The portion size also was good but our friend had scrambled egg on toast, the portion of egg was very small with the thinnest slice of bread l have ever seen . The serving of the eggs on such a large plate looked so bland as the portion was tiny and the toast on another plate looked like it should have been in the bin .
I have been to Megans on many occasions as l only live around the corner . I have recommended it many times to people and would still do that because it is a nice eating out experience . These two friends had never been before . They did enjoy it but we laughed at the scrambled egg meal almost out of shock that such an easy meal was served so horrible , nothing about it looked like you could eat it . So that is why l have only given 3 stars .

The breakfast wasn't great, eggs undercooked, toast was cold. Coffee was the only nice thing. Expensive too
R. C.
Absolutely lovely staff, healthy food and possibly the most beautiful ceiling I've ever seen in a cafe!
S. D.
Tasty food, happy hour for drinks, service could be better, quite expensive for vegan food but good quality food, freshly made.
E. M.
Mehdi was fab! Very attentive and chatty. My friends and I were celebrating a birthday and he was very sociable and was able to meet all of our needs. Thank you so much! We will be back!
D. R.
So good!! Me and my other 2 housemates went to Megan's for an aperitif before our dinner on Wednesday night and we couldn't be more happy about our choice! The cocktails were fabulous and the cheese balls accompanied with honey were a very nice discovery. We still dreaming about those. The layout of the restaurant is really pretty and all details are very accurate. Our waitress Sophie was absolutely brilliant and accommodating and she looked after us in a very professional way and made us feel very welcome. We will definetly go back to try their brunch menu soon.
S.
I love the variety of food served here and I always enjoy my meals. It's large and busy, so the service can sometimes be a little slow.
A. B.
Amazing place the decoration is astonishing and the staff is super friendly and our food was ready in a record time, it was a great experience overall and would definitely come back
O. W.
Such a beautiful restaurant and lovely team. Very instagrammable! Thank you for a lovely evening, I will be back.
D. J.
First visit. Amazing breakfast and polite and friendly staff. Nice place, will return.
C. F.
Nice food, good service. Attention to detail.
M. P.
Menu has a good selections of meals, sides and drinks. Service is excellent. Didn't feel rushed just enjoyed the time I had with friends.
I definitely recommend the Balham Megan's
A. B.
Absolutely brilliant and can't wait to go again, the food and service, couldn't have been more helpful.
J. L. P.
Delicious food and friendly service. The dining space is gorgeous too!
T. C.
A great menu. Food was very flavourful. The staff team very warm and welcoming. Dogs are allowed and made to feel welcome. Our little dog was provided with his own little chair. Good hygiene procedures being practiced. Highly recommended.
R. M.
Great spot for a lovely meal with friends. Staff were friendly and informative. Food and cocktails were fresh and delicious.
Ambience nice but perhaps move the cutlery cleaning station from near the dining area, the noise was very disruptive and made conversation difficult at times.
Would definitely return and sample more of the tasty menu and drinks!
J. C.
Busy restaurant in Balham. Food was very good, drinks a little expensive and service s little erratic.
L. O.
Really liked this place, the food is good - really good flavours. I was surprised because I didn’t think the presentation of the food was very good but the taste was great. Nice atmosphere, we had a table booked at 6pm and by 7pm it was quite busy. Baby friendly. Really Instagram worthy decor, prices were good- they have different deals on on certain days of the week. I’d recommend giving it a go.
A. R.
What a shame that this place is drowned by unhip non-Londoners and generic untrendy "Balham-ites" dressed in pyjamas and oversized charity clothes who think it's their living room.
J. A.
First time at Megan's in Balham, cosy restaurant with beautiful décor. Service and food was poor. I had bubbles which which was served at room temperature 1st glass drunk it, second too and then third was chilled but only because it was brought to their attention. Food was cold and tasteless. The waitress couldn't wait to get out. Thought it was quite not very busy my friend had to get up to get attention. My coffee was served cold Really disappointed ... Don't think I will be going back any time soon....
J. S.
Another brilliant meal at Megan's! Posh lamb doner kebab was delicious as always and would also thoroughly recommend the cookie dough for dessert. Thank you to Laura and the rest of the team for a lovely evening.
C. L.
Megans has definitely become a favourite for brunch in Balham and surrounding area! The staff is always very friendly and attentive, and the food really tasty. We had a reservation which somehow disappeared from their system once, and didn't even have to wait at all to have another table, even though it was Saturday and super busy. We were even offered cake once because we had to switch tables with another group. Would definitely recommend!
G. B.
My friend and I came here for Saturday bottomless brunch end of February 2020 and would highly recommend! The decor is beautiful and the food was amazing. The staff were super friendly and were always on hand to top us up on our drinks. Thank you in particular to Blake and Hani. I will certainly be back!!
J. L.
Tasty and nicely made food, good drinks, lovely service. Thanks 👍
R. H.
Turned up and they had got the wrong email for large booking so couldn’t have xmas set menu. Communication wasn’t great between staff didn’t get drinks when ordered and was too late when they chased this up. However food was lovely and they did compensate by offering processo and deserts. Better to go in smaller group I think. Pretty atmosphere and very clean. It would be nice if they removed the service charge after the trouble but I’m sure in a smaller group the experience would have been different
B. C.
Great food and fab service! I was served by Raine who was great and really attentive and as such I managed to stuff myself with far too much cake (not complaining!). Speaking of cake, the vegan pumpkin loaf is legendary - yumm. This place is always worth a visit, whether having a quiet coffee alone or dining with friends. I love it!
N. A. D. J.
Great sundowners, excellent service and amazing atmosphere. Weather was on point and the outside area was humming.
The only reason I’m not scoring it 5 is because of the over-spiced Bloody Mary’s (red hot ones with seeds so be warned) but they made it up to us with a pistachio-cookie dessert which was top notch!
R. C.
Impressive looking sharing platters, chicken was absolutely delicious, totally infused with flavour. Steak was cooked rare and just to my taste. Sides were slightly more lacklustre, potatoes, veg, chips and starter antipasti platter were all mediocre. Lovely atmosphere, really pretty place. Our waitor was a little overworked I think, we had to ask for a few things a few times. Lots of kids there, very kid friendly, although I wouldn't want to be having a long meal with young kids there as it's packed there is no room to move around. Really liked it despite the negatives I've mentioned, would go back.

Met a friend for Lunch. Waiter was lovely, food was healthy, fresh and tasty and the decor trendy. My only disappointment was I had no space left for one of the yummy looking cakes. Yet another reason to visit again. A well deserved 5 stars.

Came here on a Friday night for dinner. Average experience, they were three quarters full however the service wasn’t good. We were waiting for 20 minutes to get served after we sat down with staff just walking past us. The table needed a good wipe and the drinks glasses were dirty. Food itself was actually pretty good, good quality ingredients and tasty. If they sorted the service out then it would have been a much better experience.
M. A.
Laura, Andréa and Ludo looked after us tonight. Very nice food and best service ever. Smiley and professionals.
Will be back and can only recommend!
C. B.
The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The young waitress was extremely pleasant.

Fab.... what a lovely place, the perfect setting for a wedding party, romantic dinner or family meal, which is what we had. The children loved the enchanted decor. The food was amazing and catered well for our little people. A very exciting dessert list. The staff are lovely and looked after us very well. I will be back for some more yummy food.
S. J.
We loved our visit!
Beautiful setting, lovely food and the staff were really friendly and attentive.
My main purpose of the visit was to experience the dog friendly atmosphere for my blog and I have to say it’s great. If you have a larger dog the beds are on the small side so that’s something to keep in mind. They have beds, water bowls and treats, just politely let the staff know if your dog is on a particular feeding diet or has allergies before they hand out treats.
Will be back and hopefully more dog owners will pay a visit !
Z. R.
Great food, atmosphere, and decor. Service was a bit poor as we had no attentive service throughout our visit. Waited ages to get the check after telling the waiter multiple times, and with a baby in tow it wasn’t ideal! Service could be improved but other than that, great brunch place!
T. F.
Excellent service had a sit down birthday dinner nice platter layout. Starters was absolutely fantastic so much so i would have preferred that twice over than the main course!!! Had lamb shoulder which was cooked perfectly , melted in the mouth just lacked flavour which the starters definitely had. Easy 4 stars
T. M. P.
Really friendly staff. We came in without a reservation mid Saturday morning and was seated within 10mins. The food was to die for! Highlight was the sausages on the brunch and the posh kebab. Portion sizes were just right. Perfect way to start your weekend
K. H.
The food tastes great and they are very dog-friendly. Except pubs, sometimes it is quite difficult to find restaurants that accept dogs. The staff love animal and they offered a lot of treats to my Samoyed, we feel welcomed and more importantly the food tastes very nice. My family and my puppy had a great evening there.
T. F.
While the ambience is cool and most of the staff is friendly (one waitress unfortunately wasn't), the service is just way too slow. We waited nearly an hour for our food to come out, and even a simple coffee order took 20 minutes to come out. I think it's just too big for their kitchen so they can't keep up. Unfortunately cannot really recommend for that reason.
L. c.
Very lovely food. Portions are small but yummy. Service was amazing. My friend even got a delicious cake free of charge for her birthday.
A. D.
It was my birthday yesterday and my family and I went for lunch at Megan’s.We had a really lovely time the food was delicious and the service was great.
The staff without any prompts from anyone brought over a delicious birthday desert with a candle then sang happy birthday. It was delightful x
S. B.
Lovely lunch spot especially in summer, reasonably priced and lovely fresh ingredients
E. B.
Really good vegan options and a nice atmosphere.
R. L.
We went there for coffee after meeting granddaughter, ordered coffee for 4 and a smoothie, after 20 minutes it still had not arrived we contacted to waiter he said its coming. The manager then came over and said the lost the order. Then we were given a pecan nut cookie dessert as compensation for having to wait. Eventually we got our drinks. They were lovely also the dessert was lovely. Gets very busy Sunday afternoons
A. A.
Very good and attentive service. Particularly special garden that makes you feel like you are anywhere but a busy London high street. Lots of effort has been made to make the place atmospheric and experience rich. Food and drink very good.
L. W.
A member of staff alarm on their iPad kept ringing; it was over 10 minutes before they came and silenced it This happened twice during my time at the restaurant. It disturb my dining experience.
However, apart from that annoying event the staff were friendly.
J. J.
Fantastic restaurant!!! My family and I enjoyed it the minute we sat down! The service was great, the food was out of the world and the setting was so pretty!!!! Our waitress was very informative as she went through the menu with us, she recommended the posh lamb donner kebab which was very tasty. My son is a vegetarian and there was plenty on the menu for him too. Definitely would recommend this little gem and we will be back!
C.
Loved my experience at Megan's! The food is slightly more on the expensive side but it's worth it. The interior is gorgeous, the food is incredible and the staff are super friendly. We were served by Izzy and thoroughly enjoyed her jokes and quick service.
T. B.
Hani was one of the best servers we’ve ever had in London (and in life), and the food was amazing. She could diffuse a bomb with the way she was handling guests and pressure. We would have loved to leave her a tip as she deserves it and then some but apparently that’s not a thing here. Anyway this is a letter to management as she is the best and she deserves a raise or days off!!
A. W.
Cocktails were great. Food was great and we got a complimentary dessert. Amazing to find a place where my wife and I can go on a date and take our dog with us such isn't a pub. Our dog got treated like a king too!
S. L.
Great food, but very bad service. Waiters took a long time to take our order and then check if everything was ok with our food, meaning we went without drinks for awhile. The waiter did also end up spilling our round of drinks over my boyfriend. However, I have been to Megan’s before and had better service so could have been a unlucky night. The food here is great and the decor is excellent!
J. T.
I've been to Megan's several times in the past few weeks... whilst there may have been issues with staff in the first week or so they have now brought in a manager from another branch.
Great food... staff that go out of their way to be helpful. Perfect place for a coffee or cocktail.
And the best part... they adore dogs and make such a fuss of our pampered pooch.
Will definitely be back 😁😁
D.
Had a great time, with great food. Especially thanks to the blonde Spanish waitress who was very informative of what dishes to suit what myself and partner were in the mood for and was always with a smile.
M. G.
This place is so lovely. The staff is absolutely attentive and close. The cockteils are so nice and the staff of the bar so close when we arrive. The ambient is perfect for me, so relax. I will recommend Megan’s to my friends and of course we come back for the food and staff.
A. S.
I love this cute local spot. Perfect for a leisurely lunch / brunch or coffee and cake. The gluten free brownie is to die for and the iced or regular mocha is on point. Super friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere to relax in. If you like to instagram this place was designed for it. Have yet to try the bottomless brunch and will report back 😊
J. R.
I came back to try their bottomless brunch, and despite they were really busy, everyone seemed to genuinely care and try their best. Food was very appealing and tasty. Definitely going back for more!
D. d. C.
Very busy, mainly yummy mummys. Welcoming and kind staff, somewhat lost with not much direction... Food is basic yet still below expectations, coffee came lukewarm twice in spite of special request for piping hot . Lovely decor, great space, alas poor performance. Disappointing...
A. D. S.
Great for brunch and happy hour drinks
L. A.
Gorgeous restaurant, the Prosecco on the brunch comes out at room temperature, they used to do Pimms as an option for brunch but that’s stopped which is a shame!
H. W.
We had a wonderful time. Jake was a superb waiter and looked after us very well. He made sure we had a fun time and we will be back because of him!
D. R.
The food was very good and the place was packed.
My only criticism is that the waitresses are slow to take orders waited over 20mins to order a bottle of wine fearing it would take equally as long to order our food we ordered that at the same time.
I'm sure it will get better with the watchful eye of the mangeress who was welcoming and attentive!
Delicious food fun decor definitely worth a visit or 2.....
R. C.
Yummy, quick, good service. Plant based chickn surprisingly v satisfying. Also had the best falafel ever tasted. Restaurant adapted well to COVID-19 reality. WiFi for registering didn't work, so hopefully will all be OK.
J. B.
I've usually been to Meghan's for the breakfast options, which are a blend of traditional British, urban hipster and some Middle Eastern additions. The ambience is a delight, and the staff friendly and accommodating. Mention should also be made of the English Breakfast tea; it's so good these days to find a place that actually does decent tea.
c. B.
Amazing food and amazing staff. Wwe were served by a guy called Alejandro and he was the kindest guy ever. We had such a personalised service. We went for buttomless brunch and he was always keeping an eye on us making sure we had everything we asked for at the time we asked for it. Honestly, he made out of this brunch in Megan's one of the best bottomless brunch I've had in London. 5 stars cause I can't give them 20.
Ps:it was my birthday and they made it super special
R. A.
So it seems they've read these reviews on the service issues, because went there this week and the service was very attentive...potentially too much actually but not complaining. Restaurant was around 3/4's full not a full test but was impressed. Drinks are good, food is...ok, good enough, although the Pork/Beef Kofta 'Open Kebab' is just dry meatballs with pita, so don;t order that. The lamb kebab was great though.
4 stars maybe a touch high, but the decor is awesome and when the windows are closed it seems likes a pretty nice place to spend the evening. Would recommend.
k. l.
Amazing setting and friendly service. I went there in the evening and I though wow. The food was amazing the portions were great. Great for a date nite, celebrating birthdays and going out for a family meal. Would definitely recommend and head there again.
C. T. -. S.
Love the decor at this place! With so few venues in Balham with outside space this summer, this genuinely feels like you're in a magical garden all year round. I've been once for an evening meal & cocktails which was super tasty, & again for lunch/coffee/cheeky cake. Both were great experiences. On both occasions we got chatting to neighbouring tables which to me means there is a welcoming and homely atmosphere with customers at ease and comfortable. Very inclusive with many buggies, pooches and yuppies all mixed together with none feeling out of place. It's pretty unique and will become a regular haunt for me for sure.
S. C.
Incredibly nice staff, beautiful interior and delicious food - what more could you ask for! We had the Turkish brunch feast and some cocktails and were really happy with the value and quality of what we got. Would definitely recommend a visit!
Z. P.
Really like this place, this and the original one on the King's Road are just great places to hang out. Staff are nice and some of the dishes are top drawer. Go for the vegan bowls (I'm not even veggie). I'd go 5 but...
C. T.
If you love kebabs and food from the Med. Megan's will make it much more special. Outdoor street dining over the lockdown was pleasant and delivered a couple hours of escapism. The Mediterranean feeling in the middle of Balham.
P. D.
We visited Megan's on the hill last night and it was absolutely brilliant! We had the Turkish cheese fondue (insane), spinach and garlic filo parcels (absolutely delicious) a Mezze platter each (one mixed grill with chicken shawarma, braised lamb and Turkish chorizo and one with cauliflower, falafel and vegan chorizo), both were huge with hummus, pickles, cous cous and delicious sauces, and the infamous Nutella and pistachio half baked cookie dough for dessert!! The food was outstanding but special shout out needs to go to Mehdi our waiter who was amazing, so attentive and super friendly - thank you!! Beautiful interior and very well decorated - we'll definitely be coming back!
L. C.
Love the interior of this new restaurant in the heart of balham. The ceiling has a stunning rose display that I liked a lot. I was there for a bottomless brunch, for which they have a specific area at the back of the restaurant. This area felt a little bit "added on" as the vibe wasn't quite as nice and it was a lot noiser (to be expected I guess). That said the bottomless options were great, loved the bottomless Pimms! The food was so so, did the job without blowing me or any of the other guests away. I would say that the service was the best thing about the place alongside the aesthetic of the place. All of the staff were super friendly, super chatty and very accommodating.
D. B.
What a wonderful place! To start with it is beautifully furnished, but also the staff and atmosphere are wonderful. Add to it that food and drink served are superb and I'm not surprised it was recommended to me.
I. W.
The waitress we had serving us was lovely and very understanding - HOWEVER the food was awful and bland, the Prosecco they serve you for bottomless brunch is almost undrinkable. My friend had pre booked for a birthday and they sat us right at the back of the restaurant next to the store room. Wont be going back.
t. A.
Good food and really cosy and cool. We took our puppy and he was welcomed with open arms by everyone at Megan’s. Thank you Dominica and team for looking after us!
I am looking forward to coming back for coffee and cake soon!
D. N.
gotta be honest YOU DO feel like at home, everyone so friendly and welcoming, service pretty much good with a lovely waiter I have been welcoming, and everyone pay attention to the small details, even.
Cappuccino, the proper one just from Yunita.
R. d. M.
Atmosphere was amazing, service was on point, extremely polite and happy team, the only small issue was that the Megan’s Brunch option on the menu, lists a shakshuka, so I was expecting a little pan with an egg baked in tomato based sauce, but they serve only the sauce. That’s sauce, if you don’t bake an egg on it, it’s just sauce, don’t call it shakshuka, it was disappointing. Besides that, everything was delicious, had one of the best Mocha of my life, portions are generous... would definitely go back. Oh, I really hope you start serving natural fresh juices, your food deserves a good pairing. ;)
M. C.
Hani was the loveliest waitress. She was so attentive over the whole service and had the perfect balance between friendly and professional. She is a very effective waitress and could easily climb the ranks to manager. Thanks Hani!i
E. B.
It's a nice atmosphere, great menu. But my food wasn't very hot when it arrived. Weirdly my plate was scalding hot, my friend's food was fine but mine was lukewarm. Bit disappointing. I'd go there again but it's hard to get waitress attention it's v busy.
J. B.
Food was good - service less so.
I arrived promptly at two pm, waited a good five minutes for someone to come over to seat us, we were then sat with the glaring sun in our eyes. I asked to be moved and was told no, then a bit more of a fuss and we were eventually moved. Again, the sun made it very difficult to see my friend. Half way through our meal (over an hour into the sitting), the outdoor sun shade was put out, reducing the glare, why this had not been done at the beginning when more than just ourselves were complaining baffles me.
Service took forever, friendly, but very slow. The bloody mary was not great, warm tomato juice. The bill had more items on than it should have done, so paying and leaving took a long time too.
Its a nice place, food is good, but the service let them down and the abrupt almost rude maitre d', does not entice me back.
E. P.
New fav place to have some breakfast and do some work! Great porridge and cute interiors.
L. M.
Great bottemless brunch. They are very good woth their prosecco - always topping it up snd for £18 per person, you can't go wrong! The food is good but not brilliant. I would go again.
A. C.
Came here for my 30th Birthday Brunch with a group of 12 and I can only say good things. The surroundings and atmosphere were great, the food platters were delicious, everyone had enough to eat and the mezze style eating is a great move for big groups and the drinks were flowing. Particularly impressed with Ivan (the guy with shaved head and tattoos, sorry I hope I've got his name right) he was able to manage a big table, very accommodating and his photography skills were bad either :) I have recommended Megan's Balham to friends already and will definitely come back.
T. H.
Absolutely brilliant food and service. This is the best place we have been to in Balham and we will definitely be coming again.
S. R.
So yummy!
F. M.
What a delightful space, walk off the highroad and into a magical setting. It's a garden come fairy grotto with lots of elbow room. Food is pan Mediterranean with Middle Eastern influence, a fine selection of wines and classic cocktails. I'll be back on the weekend for a lazy lunch with my pooch, it's Doggy friendly too. It would be lovely if you had a little chilled live music on the weekend too.
M. S.
It's a great cosy place with great food and excellent staff.
E. B.
Really lovely food and service. Just wish dogs weren't allowed, there's just no need (service dogs not included, obviously). People have allergies and a little dog yapped the whole evening, which was really annoying!
R. P.
Went on Saturday for my birthday, the service is so slow, I understand it's busy but still it was nearly 20/30mins till we ordered and a good 30mins till we got our food, I actually had to ask the manager why it was as taking ages, and waaalaaa it arrived at the table. Not enough staff I don't think .. but I love the food so that's a positive but for basic brunch ingredientsi it's quite expensive. Going to try it for dinner on Wednesday hopefully it will be better service.
D. R.
Nice tasty food. Good for brunch and breakfast. Not too busy, so usually can get a seat for 2 without much of a wait or queue. But coffee is nothing special and service can be slow.
J. H.
Just opened near our house so we popped down. We initially went for brunch, but have since been back for dinner.
Brunch, the service was a bit hectic as some other reviews have alluded to. But the waiters were working hard to deal with it and were super friendly. The baked eggs shakshouska were by far the best we have ever tasted. Well spiced, with nice runny yolks. The flatbread it is served with is to die for.
Dinner was something else! The service was a lot smoother. I went for the posh lamb doner kebab, which is nothing like the kebab shop version. One of the best pieces of lamb I have ever had.
The dining space is much more spacious and comfortable than any of the other spaces in Balham with some very nice decor.
We will be back.
J. B.
Amazing brunch, super friendly staff and lovely decor.
E. M.
Highly recommend to anyone! What A cracking place. This place hits all the buttons. Great food, atmosphere, attentive staff (Thank you Magda :) and beautiful venue. Having visited the other 2 venues, I've been hoping that they have been opened for the first time and now they have 😉
S. R.
No table service outside and single use cups, cutlery etc required to eat outside.
Welcome when you enter has an air of just can't be bothered. Not really clear what you're do if sitting inside, outside or taking away. Menu choices difficult to decipher.
Food is good and outdoor seating gets sunshine most of the day.
Remember to bring your reusables for sitting outside.
R. F.
Visited both Battersea and Balham Megan's this week as I just can't get enough of their food! As per every other time I've been, the team have been amazing and so friendly, I always feel so at home there. Planning to have my birthday in the flower room as it is so stunning!!
B. M.
We had a great dinner here.
Good food, nice cocktail, great picpoul de pinet, lovely staff. (Thank you Evonne for the attentive service). Ps. the dessert (half-baked cookie dough) was amazing! We will definitely come back. Thank you guys!
S. &. G.
I’m being generous with a 4 star rating because it was their second day since opening. Lovely and big restaurant and food was good but service terrible. No menus when we sat down, wrong food arrived, bill never arrived and poor attitude of waiters. Hopefully it’s teething problems and it gets better because would be great if it turned into a great brunch spot in Balham. I’ll give it another go but there needs to be a drastic improvement in service.
S. P.
It's ok but he food was a bit boring
I. B.
Had the Megan’s brunch. Really enjoyed it. The staff are very welcoming and professional. The place was very clean and comfortable I would definitely go again.
Thank you!
M. P.
Great place food was yummy but not incredible
R. D.
Your waitress Hani made our day, she is friendly, prompt and really engaging! She has been amazing with us today and the reason we would return. She is a star! Minus one star for displaying food uncovered, (which is not unique to Megan's).
A. C.
Tasty food, friendly & helpful staff and amazing decor. Very instagramable! Ideally would like more drink options available for happy hour offer though.
J. F.
Eimantas and Eliza provided great attentive and personal service, and compliments to the chef for the shakshuka haloumi and vegan pancakes!
S. Q.
Lovely service from India and Uniqa - great coffee
F. E.
We went there for a business dinner with the team and everything was amazing!
The food was fantastic, great service and their prosecco was just pure class.
I would definitely recommend, especially the half baked cookie dough as dessert, GRAND
F. S.
Stunning interior - the conservatory is like an oasis on Bedford Hill. Staff are friendly but sometimes the service could be improved.
S. H.
It's beautiful inside. They allow dogs.
Geared toward the Instagram crowd, and you pay the premium that comes with that. Food not worth the money, poor selection of beer.
s. r.
Was there few days ago and me and my guest enjoy every single thing about Megan's from the food to the cocktails( the manager, ginger hair lady, reccomand us what to drink and we are very happy to listen to her. . The staff was very professional yet friendly. We will go back for sure. Thanks
D.
The décor is warm and welcoming, very pretty !
We had the bottomless brunch and it was great. The staff was very friendly but a special mention to Mehdi who looked after us so well !
S. M.
We love Megan’s posh kebabs! Thank you to Ivan our wonderful waiter who had wine, water or mouth watering half baked cookie dough always coming our way! Amazing.
K. b.
Exceptional customer service (especially by our waiter Juan and Louis (French Manager) who done everything for us to get a table... Thank you very to you both) food was amazing and will definetly visit here again.
J.
Lovely breakfast, looked and tasted super healthy- lovely venue and great service. Just a tiny bit more seasoning would have been perfect!
P. K.
A very pleasant spot nestled in the heart of nappy valley. Plenty of space inside to maneuver a buggy, comfortable surroundings, a good coffee & cake menu, and dinner too. Could perhaps benefit from a wider beer selection but that's probably not the target audience. Well worth a visit if you're tired of the usual coffee shop haunts, or want to grab a bite for dinner.
B. N.
We have been to Megan's more than anywhere else recently. It's dog friendly, the staff are great and the food is consistently great. Definitely worth going.
As it is across the road from Sainsbury's, it is easy for parking too.
V. M.
Very attentive staff and amazing vibe. Always a pleasure to visit and I eagerly look forward to my next trip
P. G.
Nice atmosphere our waitress was lovely. Good food the only thing for me was the food could have served hotter it was just warm when I got it.
L. B.
We had such a great time at Megan’s - so perfect for a girly brunch! Our waiter Jake was the best, so friendly and super helpful, we’ll definitely come back!
V. P.
Thank you for the beautiful experience. The place was very busy a few errors with our order but the staff were fantastic and very professional. Yes, it's a bit expensive but no regrets.
The food, the service, the ambiance etc..are exquisite ..😍😘
Looking forward for our next visit.
L. S.
Absolutely lovely food, friendly staff and pretty decor.
J. W.
Firstly ide like to say this was my first time visiting Megan's balham. And wow. Just WOW is all I can say. 5 stars to our waiter Mehdi. Everything you expect from customer service and 5 star waiting. Food was amazing and Mehdis passion and attention to detail was just more than expected. Credits to the manager Guisy who clearly has trained her staff to the highest standards. I've been to clapham common but personally this balahm branch has overeceeded my expectations. Will defo return sooner rather than later.
C. M.
Just what balham was missing 😍 a beautiful new restaraunt with a lovely menu that sells great food and caters well for those trying to be healthy also. Its magical like a fairytale. The staff were pleasant attentive and knowledgeable i will be back very soon!
F. G.
Lovely helpful staff, lovely lighting, lovely atmosphere and great food! I'm a vegan partner a carnivore, both happy! Good wine too
N. S.
Really friendly staff, our waiter Mehdi was very attentive. Brunch was really tasty and the complimentary dessert was a great touch! Will be back soon!
d. m.
It was a great day, my friends 30th. They were very attentive and made sure we had a great time. Hanni in particular was the best server over had at any brunch
S.
Came here for dinner when it first opened, found mains a little bland but decided to go back for bottomless brunch with a group of 7 (more for the decor) mains were extremely tasty from the first time so a huge improvement and they were very generous with the Prosecco, staff also fab, cannot recommend enough.
M. P.
Great service and tasty food. Waiter went above and beyond to make us feel welcome with four newborns and toddlers. Lots of space for prams. Will return.
L. B.
Food was very nice but make sure you have plenty of time. Took ages to get served then waited an hour for our food (basic brunch food). Then my order was wrong but was quickly corrected.
c. w.
I love the concept of Megan’s and it is a beautifully designed restaurant. The food is always consistent and of very good quality too. However, the experience is alway (consistently) haphazard and the weakest part of the experience.
S. A.
Abosluty the best place to go for spot of brunch. The food is outstanding. The atmosphere is perfect and the staff very friendly. I would advise booking on the weekends as it gets very busy. They also do a bottomless Persecco brunch which is great value.
J. D.
What a cracking place. This place hits all the buttons. Great food, atmosphere, attentive staff and beautiful venue. Having visited the other 2 venues, I’ve been hoping that they opened one south of the river and now they have!! Highly recommend to anyone!
A. P.
Mehdi was so attentive and made sure our bottomless brunch was the perfect girls day out! The food is a great combination of traditional brunch items with an interesting middle eastern twist.
J.
Very busy around brunch time and on weekends but food and coffee are both great. Often come here for a sausage wrap and coffee before heading on a long car journey!
D. B.
Decent food and great ambiance. Service is a lacking though also more often than not there are several mothers with their young children, who may I add contribute to the background score of brunch.
j. z.
Excellent professional service, food had excellent flavour and quality, atmosphere is relaxed and cosy. Great for just drinks or food. Definitely will be coming again.
J. K.
Brilliant food, brilliant drinks!
Great service especially from Jake!
Will definitely come again and also recommend to my friends x
A. F.
Amazing brunch served here. Service is always fantastic.
S. T. A. H.
This place is amazing staff is great and service is too!!
If you want to relax and have a nice evening with your loved one this is surely the place!
Excellent music and nice atmosphere makes for a romantic stay totally recomend this place.
S. F.
Amazing service, lovely and friendly, great food 👌 highly recommend the bottomless prosecco!
L. P.
Very nice restaurant with very friendly people.
The food was absolutely delicious.
I always coming back to taste the new chef specialities.
Also they got good choices of red wine!!!
J. B.
Hey, great food and service. Unfortunately, it was let down by the lack of coffee options - for instance, both your competitors in Balham, Brother Marcus and Milk, offer a filter option in addition to espresso-based coffees. Americano just isn't the same. Hope you think about offering more brewing options in future, and I'll would then come back!
V. W.
Fantastic food an excellent choice of Brealy, veggie, sarnies cakes and great service. We went for Sunday brunch the veggie brunch is lively
S. T.
Just beautiful. Took my daughter for a treat. We only ordered a smoothie but they let us stay to do homework. Brunch is great too
s. b.
Mmmmm. Great new addition to Balham. Balham has lots of places to eat and a few very famous brunch spots, but this place is in the running for top spot. Amazing food, we went in the evening and the menu seems to be medditarrean influenced. Their kebabs (not like any kebab you might know) are something else!! Super flavours and good value.
We will be back.
r. w.
Great service from Matteo at the Balham branch. Very attentive and thoughtful. Enjoyed the food too.
K. P.
Had a great night out here recently with work colleagues. We were a large party but this was no problem and the food and the service was excellent. Great décor too!
O. D.
Great food & Service, Cristina took great care of us and made us feel very welcomed. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant adds to the whole experience.
M. B.
A great place to visit. Not inexpensive, but the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Perfect for that special occasion.
T. G.
Good food. Nice atmosphere. Service was a bit chaotic/inconsistent.
W. S.
Great food, great staff and a great vibe
P. D.
Charming Sardinian waiter. Pleasantly straightforward lunchtime experience. Nothing not to like
M. G.
Flat white wasn’t great, couldn’t taste the coffee at all, had to bin my drink. Pain au chocolat wasn’t up to standard either. Disappointing. The place looked pretty though. Unfortunately that’s not good enough in London.
J. C.
Excellent food and options for all dietary requirements. Additionally Hani our server was outstanding, she had great knowledge of menu and a super friendly personality, it was some of the best service I have experienced.
S. C.
Been here several times now - Balham and Clapham. Receiving the identical experience at both. The food was absolutely fantastic and definitely tops a lot of the wannabe local brunch spots - you'd be a fool not to try this place
K. G.
The location is to die for. Chelsea atmosphere and decor in Balham!
Mehdi was an absolute dream as a server!
Would recommend for a fun brunch with the girls or romantic dinner with the Mr
S. D.
Came here for a birthday brunch, it's a beautiful restaurant, great food and the staff are top class. Special shout out to Consuelo and Ivan, they made our day really special! Thanks again guys!

Sadly all hype ... took 15 mins to get served ...then no smoothies then no smashed Avocado. Finally my order arrived 35 mins later !! And it was the wrong table ... hmm I will give it one more go . Ps at least it was dog friendly
M. S.
Trendy, pricey with slow service.
20 minutes wait for two Capucchinos £3.30 each.
Pain au Chocolate £2.30.
But in their defence, it was midday Saturday.

The Eggs Royale were literally the best I've ever had. Great cocktails. Beautiful decor. Lovely staff.
E. R.
This place is great! Love the decor, it's really good for dates. The staff have always been lovely and the food is soooo good. Definitely recommend.
L. B.
Really tasty food, but front of house service was slow & staff were bickering during our whole visit, which ruined the vibe somewhat!
R. J.
Great food, amazing staff, thanks to Sophie who looked after us on Friday and the rest of the team. Will definitely be back!
V. J.
Fantastic food and service. Maria and Seb went out of their way to make us feel satisfied and happy. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their money’s value.

Came here for lunch. Baby friendly. I had the open chicken kebab which arrived quickly, tasted wonderful and was presented well. Service was friendly and responsive.

Every Megan's we've visited has delightful staff and great service. The food and drink is 10/10
J. L. M.
Lovely place and the amazing server Ivan gave us an outstanding customer service :) he recommended the best products in the menu, and they were delicious! He was very friendly and attentive.
B. J.
Even more interesting and captivating than nutritious and delicious food with such an exquisite atmosphere, is definitely being served by someone so naturally full of life and so much careful about you. João, the man himself! Comming back on Megan's on the Hill is truly a must. #lifelover #foodlover #soulfood #naturalvibe

Nice interior. Good coffee. Pleasant outdoor seating area on the main road. But it seems you have to use a takeaway cup if you are sitting outside... contributing to waste...
E. L.
Me and my friends went to Megan's today for bottomless brunch and we absolutely loved it!! Special thanks to Mehdi for making our experience extra special!!
M. G.
Green eggs were a little too garlicky and poached eggs were a little overdone. But that's preference I suppose. But I do love the place. Good atmosphere and excellent staff.
C. M.
We had the best dinner and I've never similed so much as Michael is the happiest and funniest waiter I've ever had the pleasure of being server by :)
I. “. L.
The setting is great and very instagrammable! The food is also very good! The one thing is the service can be quite slow but they are also very busy which will impact a lot on service time.

I have visited Megan's in Balham twice now,with my husband and my son and daughter who both live in Balham.We take our 15 yr old dog Alf with us.On both occasions we have received the warmest,most helpful and efficient service possible.Alf is always spoilt rotten with water and biscuits and loads of attention.The staff are absolutely fabulous,every one of them.They are incredibly friendly.I haven't been to such a welcoming eatery for years.I cannot recommend this lovely place enough!👏👏👏👏
i. p.
Great new place in Balham; posh, highly instagrammable decor, perfectly engineered to rank high on social media; a bit pricey for the rather simple dishes but food was tasty, all the staff friendly and attentive, they do a bottomless drink option on weekends. Dog beds and drink bowls are available, the restaurant is very family friendly. Reservation advised on weekends.
A. T.

Recently opened, food was very nice, service all over the place, repeating orders to multiple waiters/waitresses, can only assume teething issues that will be sorted. Maybe try in a month or two
G. C.
Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. One of our favourites.
C. M.
I went there for lunch,a bit overpriced.Beautifull,romantic place,I liked the ceiling decorated with white roses.Really nice place and worth to visit.Food was ok,staff? quite nice but a bit distracted.
G. G.
Good food, don't like the idea of cakes being placed on the counter and not being covered, where customers walk by, coughing and sneezing etc.... need to review the hygiene!
D. V.
Great choice of food, nice place to meet your friends, our waiter was Michael, nice manners and great sense of humour, will come again !!
J. H.
Saturday night vibes! Funny bunch of peps. They were really attentive to our group and amazing tasting food.

A. L.

A. H.
Confused by the other reviews as my visit was fantastic. Service flawless, food delicious and a very instagrammable restaurant. Thank you!

Hands down the best place for food in Balham, no matter what time of day. Try the Bloody Meagan on a Sunday, it'll cure any Saturday night affliction.
A. P.
Fab brunch. So tasty and friendly staff. Such a pretty place too. Will be back very soon!
H. A.
Great place to catch up with friends -friendly and efficient service.

The food is ok but the service is painfully slow - especially for takeaway. Seems to be a lot of staff standing around while no one serves you.
C. J.
Good food, service was either way too quick or way too slow but they squeezed us in so thanks guys!
J. M.
Really great meal until it came to waiting 20 minutes to pay. Would recommend.
M. A.
Had a lovely time :) The food and decor are great! Definitely commend.
J. R.
Staff were lovely, food was great and itd very pretty but charging for tap water is not cool, especially when we asked for tap water.
T. A.
Delicious food, great service, dog friendly and lots of tasty choices for vegetarians. We'll be back!
T. F.
Megan's newest restaurant: Beautiful decor, lovely team and delicious cocktails. A new favourite!
