Food was truly delicious! Everything we had was way better than expected, very flavorful & intentional. Plate presentation was beautiful, felt very upscale. Wait staff was extremely attentive & friendly. Decor was beautiful, fresh & bright. Location was great, not inside the Royalmount mall, but adjacent & leading out to the parc/courtyard/esplanade area. Definitely not a'mall' vibe. It struck a perfect balance between casual comfort & understated elegance. It was a little loud, but Saturday afternoons through to evenings there is a live DJ event that happens in the courtyard so it is not the reataurant itself that was loud. Other nights & afternoons would be far quieter. We sat on the terrace & therr was a large screen broadcasting the FIFA wold cup games, so it could also be a chill spot to catch the game. But I repeat, the food, it was really exceptional. The entire menu seemed appetizing. I would highly recommend going & look forward to my next visit.

Had an amazing experience at Balam! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, & everything came out fresh & perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was beautiful, warm, & welcoming.

A huge thank you to the waiters Emilia & Abdallah for the outstanding service. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, professional, & made the whole experience even better. They constantly checked in to make sure everything was perfect & made us feel truly welcomed.

Had a blast! Went with my girlfriends for valentine's day & we had the best time. The restaurant itself is beautiful, easily instagrammable, & it's perfectly located right outside the mall so it has it's own space/vibe. I have to give much respect to Abdullah who gave us incredible service, our experience was elevated thanks to him. The specialty cocktails were REALLY good too. I can't say much about their regular menu since they had a special set menu for valentine's day. The appetizers were so good too, I preferred the street corn (NOT on the cob) & bone marrow tartare. & THEY HAD FRESH CHURROS FOR DESSERT!!! Balam team, excellent job.

If you're looking for an upscale Mexican experience, Balam is the place. The decor is absolutely stunning-it feels like you've been transported to a high-end beach club. We loved the Ribeye Tacos & the Hamachi Tartare; both were incredibly fresh & flavorful. The cocktails are also a work of art . Great music, great service, & a perfect spot for a night out.

Balam at Royalmount offers a vibrant, elevated dining experience, serving sophisticated, contemporary Mexican cuisine in a stunning Tulum-inspired setting. The atmosphere is energetic & stylish, making it perfect for a festive night out.

The food is exceptional, seamlessly blending traditional Mexican flavors with modern techniques. Must-try dishes include the rich rib eye tacos & expertly prepared ceviches, all using fresh, high-quality.

What truly elevates the experience is the service, particularly our server, Jaime. Jaime was fantastic-attentive, professional, & genuinely warm.
He guided us through the complex menu with insightful recommendations & ensured our drinks were promptly refreshed.

Jaime's excellent service made our evening feel seamless & personalized, turning a great meal into a truly memorable occasion.
