Mirch Masala Tooting Branch

Mirch Masala Tooting Branch in SW17 is the main location of Mayor Sadiq Khan's stated favourite restaurant in London. Mirch masala means chilli spice blend — the spice combination that sits at the heart of Pakistani cooking. The restaurant on Upper Tooting Road has built its reputation on karahi gosht (lamb in a fresh tomato and ginger sauce), mixed grill, onion bhajis and a BYOB policy that keeps the bill honest. The photo of Imran Khan's visit sits in the window alongside the Mayor of London's endorsement. Always busy, often raucous, never dull. Halal throughout. Takes no alcohol — bring your own.

Available for dine-in and takeaway at 213 Upper Tooting Road SW17. Cash friendly.
