"This Pashtun restaurant in Tooting operates at a million miles per hour, but once you’re sitting cross-legged on cushions in a private room upstairs—surrounded by friends, loved ones, and a jurassic amount of slow-cooked lamb on a bed of rice laced with sweet carrots and raisins—you’ll find your own pace. The room at Namak Mandi isn’t fancy and you need serious stomachs to get through this pre-ordered beast. But trust us, this isn’t a meal you’ll eat or forget in a hurry." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
