Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Al Balad is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience that’ll have you dreaming of burgers long after you’ve left. The burgers here are juicy and cooked to perfection—Sami’s raving about the charred outside and tender inside. The staff, especially Serene, make you feel right at home, which is a huge plus. Plus, you can indulge in a sweet tooth’s dream with their desserts—seriously, don’t skip those.
However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some folks have noticed some hygiene slip-ups, particularly with staff looking a bit too relaxed. When you’re serving food, a little hair management goes a long way. If you can overlook a few hiccups, you’ll find a place that’s hitting all the right notes in flavor but still needs a little polish in the hygiene department.
"Exceeded all my expectations!"
"The patties are juicy and cooked perfectly."
"Blends the bold flavours of the Arabic and the Indian subcontinent quite confidently."
