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

      I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.

      Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
