Blah Blah Blah reviews
Good,good,good... and each time we go, it gets even better. We always spend less here than at other places. Last visit we were told there was no service charge, and as you can take your own bottle our bill was much reduced. No complaints in the present financial climate. Five stars.

Extremely impressed by the food and service provided by Blah Blah Blah. The staff assured us that the tips have always been given to the staff and the last review makes no sense! It seems perhaps a staff member who has recently been removed wants to taint the reputation of this nice place where we have been coming for several years.

I'm furious. This place puts service charge on an unitemised bill. Then the staff told me that the owner even takes their
tips. Shame on you Blah Blah Blah.

We returned yesterday to enjoy their excellent cuisine and were delighted. New waiter was slow but helpful. Loved their halloumi tikka and plum crumble. The other half had the curry and the chocolate tart and was equally contented. See you again soon guys!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Added bonus is the mouthwatering dishes. I ordered pasta and had the chocolate tart. Yum yum! My partner went for the curry and banoffee pud and also loved it. No hesitation in recommending as an excellent place to relax and enjoy food with happy people serving you.

Went to Blah Blah Blah last night for a friend's birthday. Lovely freshly made food. Would recommend to anyone, whether they are vegetarian or not! Staff very friendly.

Service not bad, food tasty and beautiful, good value with BYO. Decor needs a touch-up and, if possible, we could do with a branch in the south. See you very soon!

Keep up the present standard and you will go a long way to satisfy old and new diners. Blah Blah Blah never ceases to impress us. How they produce excellent meals in a small kitchen is beyond me. The taste and artwork involved in presentation of all dishes always gets me and my partner. Maintain your standards and we are yours. Keep the potato cake on the menu always - we love the porcini sauce. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely nosh, lovely atmosphere, lovely waitresses, lovely prices, not so lovely music (not punky), lovely place to impress lovely girlfriend, a lovely place to revisit. Maybe will take a few CDs next time if lovely people will play a few tracks...

If you like good food and want to impress your mates and don't want to spend over the top, then go here. Fridays and Saturdays it's quite full and all are having a great time. I'm always impressed how they put ingredients together to create such tasty dishes. Thumbs up, definitely!

Great grub at fantastic prices. They could look into having extra special dishes.

Fantastic. The food was delicious and the serving massive. Great place, not fussy how it looks but focused on the food, which is refreshing. Apparently one of the Beatles ate there.

Been to Blah Blah Blah a few times. You wouldn't even know that your meal is vegetarian. The menus are excellent for the money, but best to buy your wine beforehand as the place opposite isn't particularly good for anything other than Ernest & Julio Gallo.

I have enjoyed every meal I have had here, the service has been exceptional, the food just out of this world!

Was possibly one of the worst meals out I've ever eaten.
The food was over-priced, the portions were miserly and the presentation was over-blown, for what was basically a bean stew with tortillas. But the worst thing about Blah Blah Blah was the service.
I do not eat out to be sneered at by a jumped up middle aged waiter (who obviously made some great career choices) But that's what I got. My friend and I asked if we could share our starter and desert. From the waiter's reaction you'd have thought we'd asked for the blood of his first born child. After a bit of persistence on our part he backed down and allowed us the privilege of choosing how to eat our own food.
When I asked for a glass of tap water with my meal I was told that was not possible: I would have to buy a litre bottle of mineral water. I replied that I only wanted a glass. He stomped off and returned a moment later, viciously plonking a bottle down in front of me. 'It's on the house!' he spat, with all the grace and charm of a particularly nasty SS officer.
It completely ruined the enjoyment of our food. I do not eat out to argue with my waiter, to be made to feel like a penny-pinching scrooge. My friend and I were so wound up by the un-provoked disgust of the staff that it put us right off our bland, pretentious food. Would rather have teeth pulled than return to Blah Blah Blah .
The kind of experience that makes you tell all your friends to avoid like the plague. Or write a scathing review on the web. Hurrah for internet democracy!

Have had 2 successful meals here, both in large groups. The set menu is always interesting and something to suit everyone and for £15 for 2 courses, a brilliant deal. The service has always been great when there are large groups and the fact that this place is a BYO restaurant too makes it even better!
Definitely worth a try- and I'm not a vegetarian by any means!

Lovely to go to a restaurant where the veggie food is neither boring nor overly fussy.
The food is creative whilst also being tasty and very edible, with delicious puddings. I liked the lighting and the byo policy. My only complaint is that I have to travel so far to get to this restaurant and would like to see a similar one open in South London.
