Full Fat

From Wednesday to Saturday, Balham Kitchen’s black tent is a familiar sight outside Balham tube station – and a godsend for famished commuters who regularly queue up for its ersatz Indian street food, like its slender – but cheap – chapattis (bacon and egg, BLT, jam). Now the owners have opened Full Fat – a modest Scandi-vibe café and snack spot serving a slightly enlarged menu on Chestnut Grove. With its extended opening hours and cups of spiced chai to wash down the food, this is a big bonus for chappati-craving Balhamites.
