Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Balansiya's authentic Moroccan atmosphere and delicious, aromatic dishes, particularly the tajines and couscous. Many highlight the excellent vegan tasting menu and the friendly, attentive service. While some note the lack of alcohol, the non-alcoholic drink options are well-paired with the flavorful food.
"We booked as a group of roughly twenty people on a Wednesday evening. Despite the number, they handled us with care, discretion, and attention to detail, and presented us with a memorable evening. The food is outstanding, no matter what you choose, and the décor recreates North Africa in Valencia. Don't hesitate to book."

Balansiya is the old name for Valencia and this Arabic restaurant near to the Universities and Blasco Ibañez is excellent. Great comfy sofa seats, lovely plates and dishes they specialise in Tajine and Cous Cous with a wink to Hummus and Babaghanush they have tasting menus, a menu of the day and you might even bump into a few of the Valencian players in there who seem to frequent it often. Good prices and selection but no alcohol.
Halal-Friendly City Guides for Muslim Travelers
A few Halal restaurants are available in Valencia such as the Balansiya, Aleimuna, La Cañameria, Aljuzama, Al Menara and Aladdin. However it is recommended that you enquire with the restaurant owners about the availability of Halal menus prior to dining. The Russafa neighbourhood - the area behind the railway station - also offers a fair share of Halal food options.
