The 19 Best Restaurants In Tooting - London - The Infatuation

"Namak Mandi, a Pashtun restaurant, is constantly fizzing, bubbling, flaming, moving, and smoking. Discus-shaped crispy chapli kebabs being cooked in crackling fat soundtrack the room, enormous hanging Afghan naans float past like edible comfort blankets, and flame-torched woks full of fresh karahi are constantly stirred and swapped. It’s a riot any day of the week (so make sure you book), but no meal is quite as fun as a feast in the private upstairs rooms. With some careful planning, you and a group of friends (up to 20) can find yourselves sitting cross-legged eating a sumptuous, slow-cooked whole lamb." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
