Mirch Masala, Tooting


I've been meaning to write about this place for ages, but have only just got round to it. On Tooting High Road, amongst numerous other curry houses, it is a real gem. There seems to be a lot of Internet banter about the best curry house in Tooting - it seems a pretty close contest between here and Lahore Karahi. Admittedly we haven't sampled the latter (how can it possibly be better than Mirch?!), but it is defintely the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to.

The surroundings may not be the most glamorous (think formica tables and strip lighting), but the food more than makes up for it. The lamb and prawn tikka are just out of this world, as is the muttar paneer. It's so cheap (a hearty meal for 2 comes in at about £20) and its BYO as well.

Well worth a visit if you're in the area (and perhaps even if you're not...)
