We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant. Nadir & Nizar were extremely kind, warm, & welcoming. They went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect!
I left feeling not only satisfied but already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent & cozy dining experience!
Nadir & Nizar made us feel extremely comfortable, starting from an exquisite sent from the patio entrance & an amazing demonstration of palosanto sent. It was an amazing experience, fully recommend it.
Balam was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The restaurant was recommended to us by Derrick at RH the rooftop next door, & it couldn't have been a better choice.
As soon as we stepped in, Nizar welcomed us warmly with a big smile that immediately set the tone for the evening. Then Nadir took the experience to another level with a beautiful performance using their essential oils before walking us to our table; such a unique & memorable touch that made us feel truly special.
The food & drinks were absolutely delicious, perfectly prepared & beautifully presented. On top of that, the service was flawless; attentive, friendly, & genuinely 5-star.
This place is a gem, & the team here really knows how to create a remarkable dining experience. Highly recommend!

Great experience at Balam, even without a reservation. While we had to sit outside, the staff went above & beyond to make us comfortable. Shout-out to the manager who personally adjusted a heat lamp next to our table! That thoughtfulness is a perfect example of their dedication to guest comfort.
The service was on point from our waiter to the manager, checked in genuinely to ensure we had everything we needed. & then there's the food-it was great, perfectly prepared, & absolutely delicious.
Between the incredible attention to detail, the warm & attentive team, & the fantastic meal, Balam is a standout. We will absolutely be back soon, & we're definitely bringing our friends! Highly, highly recommended.

Valmont a offert un service impeccable : attentif, rapide & toujours courtois. Grâce à lui, l'expérience au restaurant a été vraiment agréable du début à la fin.
I went to balam for an anniversary dinner with my fiancé & had the best experience. The food is incredible, I recommend the fish of the day plate & the ceviche, both were to die for. & the service was outstanding, everyone was so kind & accommodating. We will be returning!!
We sat at the bar & had an amazing time. Received great service from all the staff. The food was delicious, elevated & authentic which is hard to find. I loved their ceviches & fish tacos. The cocktails were refreshing. They had a dj which created an amazing atmosphere & ambience. Will definitely return with friends & family.
