Food was unreal and cocktails were unique. Live DJ was a nice touch as well. Didn’t give 5 stars because the restaurant was overcrowded and staff took a while to notice us. Perhaps it wasn’t table service - but that never was made clear to us, and the bill was brought to the table when we asked for it. The seating layout was awkward too, we were wedged in between two longer tables diagonally.

Been here several times. Love the food. Love the vibe in Tooting Market. The manager / proprietor is always there, always remembers us (although our visits are not that frequent as we don't live that locally) and is super friendly. It's our venue of choice for taking friends to.
