BAW Café is a pan Asian restaurant at 81 The Broadway in Mill Hill. The dining room takes inspiration from street food stalls and casual eateries across Southeast Asia, presenting those influences in a comfortable neighbourhood café.
The menu moves through small plates, soups, freshly prepared salads, grills, noodles, rice dishes, stir fries and curries. That breadth lets diners build a quick individual meal or share contrasting plates across the table.
The kitchen emphasises carefully chosen ingredients and avoids artificial colours and chemicals. Separate vegan and gluten free menus make the range easier to navigate, while a dedicated lunch selection provides a concise option during the day.
Fresh juices, cocktails, wine and beer complement the food, and both collection and delivery are available alongside table reservations. Split weekday service and continuous weekend opening make BAW suitable for lunch, dinner or a relaxed evening of small plates and drinks.
Address: 81 The Broadway, Mill Hill, London NW7 3BU, England
