London Tooting Restaurant Guide

High marks again for this brave hipster outpost occupying one of the stalls in Tooting’s covered market, and where funky, seasonal, British small plates are served at the counter. Some diners found themselves “questioning some of the combinations”, but most judged results “very good”.

“Delicious food and incredibly reasonable prices” ensure that this family-run Thai trio in South London (Brixton, Battersea and Tooting) are “hard to beat – especially with BYO”. You eat “authentically, but very quickly!”

“A broad range of dishes with distinct sauces at amazing prices” makes this “basic Pakistani place” a standout on Tooting’s “curry corridor”: “the quality certainly merits the mediocre setting and variable service”; a favourite of Sadiq Khan, it’s “often busy and noisy”. Top Tips: “nihari – slow-cooked lamb shank – is memorable”; “BYO wine is a plus point, too”.

“High-quality burgers” hit the spot at this funky small chain which “does the simple things well”. The outlets are “fab for families and kids – there’s something for everyone and puddings are a great crowd-pleaser”.

“Incredible thalis at awesome prices”, inspire a dedicated band of devotees to the authentic Sri Lankan and South Indian specialities served up in this “homely dining room”: “maybe not the best, but certainly the best-value lunch in Tooting”.

December 2016: Apologies to the owners, we had been told that this restaurant had closed, but a keen-eyed reporter has corrected us!

A sibling for the Camberwell restaurant.
