Namak Mandi

World cuisineLocals' pick

A small, smoky Pashtun restaurant on Upper Tooting Road that runs like a house party: sizzling chapli kebabs, karahi from flame-torched woks and Afghan naans hung on hooks. Upstairs, groups who pre-order a whole lamb sajji eat it shoes-off on floor cushions in private rooms.
