Traditional African and American Cuisines
Balas Bistro is a traditional African restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee, known for its wonderful ambiance and a wide variety of delicious and diverse cuisine. …
Amazing each time we go there. So well seasoned. If you're thinking about it you should get it... basically the lamp saka saka tastes like collard greens and neck bones but it's seasoned WAYYYYY better... eating it with the FuFu makes you so full. You'll be full for hours on end. So the $16 is sooo worth it honestly.

I always enjoy oxtails maybe everybody changing seasoning. Always more than enough. I'm still going to get these Beef Oxtails whenever I order from here. The Vegetable Spring Roll are always fresh. The oxtails were a bit bitter this time.

The Vegan Quesadilla was delicious! It was a pick up order and stayed HOT until I got to my destination! This restaurant cooks with love. I could taste it! The Vegan Quesadilla is made with sausage, sautéed with onions and seasonings. Decadent for sure.
I am not a big "drink" person. I normally just drink water because most drinks are too sweet. The House Honey Ginger Juice is soooo good. It's made with natural ingredients and the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors of each ingredient compliment one another so well. I am so glad I tried this restaurant!
