Fresh, healthy, and tailor-made meals come together with ease at this newly opened delicatessen in Ilam. Rather than having a set menu, customers can pick their own meals, made fresh by award-winning local Christchurch chef Simo Abbari.
Balance by Simo also offers online meal plans, that can be built via the website depending on your desired meal type, or dietary needs. These ready-made meals are perfect for busy individuals who value convenience without compromising on nutrition or taste.

With meal plans varying from balanced plans tailored to those with an active lifestyle, to those on low carb, gluten free, or diabetic diets, there are meals plans tailored to fit every lifestyle. “I do a lot of one-on-one’s according to doctor prescriptions, special requirements, and specialised nutrition,” says Simo.
Check out Balance by Simo’s delicatessen, shop 4/376 Ilam Road, open 10am to 7pm Monday to Wednesday, and 10am until late Thursday to Saturday, or visit the website to find their meal plans.
