Heidi is a great place in Balham, i really like the atmosphere, it's cute, pretty chilled and always busy. I've been a few times for cocktails, which are really good. I've never been for a meal there, I've only tried the oysters on Tuesday and some nibbles, which were nice as well. If you live in the area you should definitely go here, I would recommend it for a date or to hang out with a few friends. It is not huge, so I am not sure that I would recommend it for a big group.
Right next to Balham station, it's the perfect spot for lunch or little end of afternoon snack as it's not too busy and they also have small plates/tapas. The staff is super nice and the food is surprisingly good (you wouldn't expect a place that serves all day round to have freshly made dishes at all time)
Went on Valentine’s Day. Had to preorder and a little on the pricey side (£60 each for the valentines menu )but think it was worth it. Had about 8 plates of food and 2 glass of champagne each. Each plate was delicious and actually not that small. After all consuming everything, think it was just right! Staff was friendly and attentive, would recommend. Also ordered another bottle of red, and it was really good. Would come again to try their normal menu and wine!
Visited for dinner and drinks and had a great time. Amazing waitresses Sophia and Lia, very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend the pork belly bites (we ordered 2 plates!) they have a great head chef, Kevin! Will be back :)
Super Roast Beef Sunday lunch with excellent and friendly service. Delightful!
Amazing wine bar with great tapas style food.
Highly recommend: pork belly, octopus, burrata.
The wine machine is really interesting as well, they also have glass cooling machine.
Price is about £35~40 per person, including drinks.
We'd been to Heidi before and really enjoyed the food (and wine), but first time having Sunday roast today and it was excellent!! Really tender and flavourful beef, pork was crunchy on top, melt in your mouth underneath. Yummy vegetables and potatoes were crispy. Plenty of food without any sides and great wine recommendations for roast meal as well.
If I were to compare with other Sunday roasts around Balham, I would say better than Balham Bowl's club but the potatoes were not quite as perfect (to our liking) as the Bedford.
Just watch out how much you spend tasting the different wines!
Beaut restaurant. Wide range of wine (which you can self pour from machines) & incredible small plates - recommend the pork belly, scallop ceviche and aubergine. Oh…and the marmite butter is so good, wish could use it on toast every day!
Go here for a great Sunday roast. Seriously. Went twice in January as they were doing £10 roasts. Bargain.
Tried the beef, chicken and my wife had the pork. All three were delicious. My mouth is watering thinking about it now actually.
Everything was seasoned well and the meats were all cooked really well. Can’t ask much more than that!
Oh, and yeah they do a lot of wine. The card topping up machine thing is a bit lost on me, but it’s different. There’s a lot of wine and you can try a tiny bit before committing to a large glass. There’s a huge selection and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Great addition to Balham!
Just the concept alone get a 10! I love that you can just get off the train and the location and the outdoor area is so inviting. Having wines on tap was so cool, I got to sample a few and I thought two small glasses of different white wines was a perfect way to unwind on a sunny Thursday night. I also had the pork bites which was a decent portion. I will definitely be coming back!
Great little place bang opposite the station. Really good vibes, great food and wine! Nice outdoor seating thats in a a sun trap, perfect for evening chill outs. Would recommend!
They have a champagne happy hour! Everyday until 9pm. Fantastic wine selection with a fun system to try and lovely tapas to boot. Handily positioned just opposite Balham tube/station.

Absolutely incredible.
I would 100% recommend Heidi. The food is absolutely to die for and the wine dispensers are a fabulous touch!
Heidi is a sweet little resto bar just outside Balham Station. It has small selection of wines you can pour yourself by the glass if you’d like to try a few different ones. Heidi has an extensive selection of small plates that are great for sharing. In the summer they open all their doors and windows making them open to the street which can be quite busy. I would say it’s reasonabe/tipping onto a little bit pricier. It would be great for drinks and nibbles for a date.
A lovely wine bar staffed by lovely people! They have a self-serve wine selection along with decent cocktail and champagne options. They also serve Signal IPA and Signal Lager on tap. My friend had some delicious chicken wings when we visited and I'm looking forward to visiting again for the £1.50 Oysters on Tuesdays.
