The Mirch in Tooting offers formica tables, toilet cubicles with a mop and bucket standing in the corner - and the aforementioned poor service. But who cares when the food is so good? Not me.


I hope they haven't smartened it up as you say they have at the Norbury Mirch, Dave. I shall report back tomorrow morning ha ha.

ok a rather dumb question, but can i ask what are the attributes that make people take into account when saying a curry is good or bad? clearly a curry that is not swimming in grease of gee is essential but i'm curious as to what else people are expecting..


for me personally, i'm looking for a curry that is authentic as you can get out of asia (or green street in upton park! - sorry this is east london) which isnt stale and uses fresh ingrediants....

Tandoori Nights is Pakistani and very good it is too. Bengali curry houses around the Warren St area used to be very good but have now joined the ranks of anglosized curry shops. I'm a big fan of South Indian curry which seems to be getting more popular and can recommend the radna krishna in Tooting. I don't think the BBC will particularly enhance the ED curry experience and would definitely like to see something less mainstream. Shame Jerk rock is closed. Wish there was an equivalent to Mango Rooms here.

I can indeed cook a mean curry and often do. But the joy of good In/Pak food is the same as with good Chinese food.. it's the starters, and tasting lost of different things.

It's not worth spending 15 hours in the kitchen when you can pay a tenner and get top-notch stuff put down in front of you.

Well next time you serve time in the kitchen (I remember you have too much time on your hands) I'm up for a tasting! Re the starters, I agree and also one of the joys of Lebanese food. Another good nomination (Al-Dar) for the ED area instead of the indistinguishable curry houses (TN excepted).

Best authentic curry in the local area must be Ganapati - great fish curry (although the two sittings timing is a little annoying)- so something like that on LL would be a winner


I agree with the comments about Tooting - spoilt for choice indeed, many Time Out winners and cheap to boot.


Radha Krishna across the road from Tooting Broadway tube / Sainsburys does a great Masala Dosa


I've also always liked Samrat (including the etched glass panels) - next to Tooting station for cheap curry favourites


Whenever I've had Bombay Bicycle (Wimbledon) I've been disappointed with the price / quality ratio

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By Kipper_1972 · Posted

      Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)

      Up the reform

      If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.

      Can anybody recommend a good local plant nursery or garden centre?

      By Sue · Posted

      You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.

      Isn't that one of Farage's locals?
