Seems to be all change on that stretch of Balham High Road - anyone know who is taking over the lease of the old Thai Buffalo??? Would be good to have a new local restaurant.
I went to Locale a few times since I moved to Balham 5 years ago and the quality of food has deteriorated a lot in the past 12-18m. Went last time on Jan 1st this year and food was reheated... never went back. My favourite Italian remains Ciulloosteria further up going towards Clapham South. As an Italian I can well recognize fresh quality ingredients.. Locale was not like this anymore. Shame as we had lunch for mother's day twice and it was lovely organized...
