Review by Greyson Oberbrunner

September 29, 2024

Bala's Bistro in Memphis is a true gem! ✨ I visited in August 2023, yearning for authentic African cuisine, and I wasn't disappointed. The curry potato stew and fufu were packed with flavor, and the coconut baobab juice was divine! The staff were immensely friendly, offering samples and explaining dishes with care.

The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home, perfect for families and groups. Plus, their variety of vegan options ensures there's something for everyone. Can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal! 🥥💖
