Milk, on once dodgy but now trendy Hildreth St market, is th best cafe in Balham. Recommend it for brunch, but don't leave it too late or you'll be queuing up outside.

Best curry in London (we reckon anyway)! Bring your own alcohol, really cheap food, absolutely tasty, you won't regret it! Take the 155 bus or the tube to Tooting Broadway. Alternatively a 20min walk.
