The mango passion fruit drink was a great choice, really refreshing with that slice of fruit. The egg and spinach pizza was an unusual but tasty suggestion from the waiter.

The brunch afternoon tea was a decent deal with coffee included. I liked the variety of savoury and sweet bits. The scones were pretty good. It got a bit noisy later on, but overall a fine way to spend an afternoon.

No frills spot, but the food&rsquo;s the star. The methi chicken and saag paneer were spot on. Had a lager with it&mdash;simple, but worked well with the spices. Could do with a few more drink options, honestly.

The lunch deal is generous! I really appreciated the fresh bread and homemade chilli sauce. It felt like a wholesome, simple meal. The ingredients tasted very fresh.

The chicken curry here was spot on. Just the right amount of spice and so flavourful. The owner was lovely too, really took the time to chat and suggest things we&rsquo;d enjoy.

Lovely spot for a relaxed meal. Damian on the staff was so patient explaining the menu, which made choosing easy. The seats were comfy too, a real plus for a longer lunch.

Quality and quantity of food was great.Staff friendly, not a very big place  so with it being full and everyone talking it was a bit too loud!

Stumbled in by chance. Oysters were top-notch. Skate cooked just right. Coffee creme br&ucirc;l&eacute;e to finish. Solid meal.

The main dining area is lovely, very cozy and authentic. I really appreciate the attention to detail in the decor, it creates a warm and inviting space to enjoy a meal.

The prawn and chicken pad Thai is a generous portion and a solid choice. It paired nicely with a crisp lager.

Delicious food, pleasant environment, very friendly and helpful staff, free car parking in front of the restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The grilled chicken is always spot on, juicy and full of flavour. But the peri-peri sauce bar is the real star for me &ndash; love trying all the different heat levels!

Staff were so friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. They were brilliant with my niece, which made the whole lunch feel really relaxed. A lovely touch.

Lovely little spot, feels like a proper trattoria. Took the family and the kids were made to feel welcome, which was nice. The decor is charming, very authentic. A good, relaxed atmosphere for a casual dinner.

The royal crab masala was delicious and the little tools for eating it were a nice touch. The whole meal had a proper home-cooked feel.

A real find in Tooting. The food was spot on, and the short but thoughtful wine list had a lovely Italian red that went perfectly with my pasta. Feels like a local secret, though the tables are a bit close together.

I appreciate the restaurant&#39;s efforts to accommodate dietary restrictions. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the menu options for gluten-free and vegan diets.

The korma chicken here was spot on. You could really taste the fresh ginger and garlic, and the coconut milk base was rich without being heavy. Nikki and the team were lovely.

Interesting concept. The surprise menu kept us guessing. Good to see they&rsquo;re doing something positive for the community too.

La Pernella offers the best Neapolitan pizza I&#39;ve had outside of Italy! The authentic flavors and quality ingredients make it a must-visit for pizza lovers.

Flavia and Antonio are great. They&rsquo;re always on it, professional without being fussy. Had a birthday dinner there last week and they handled everything smoothly. Makes a difference.

The staff were really welcoming and friendly. They took the time to explain the specials and checked in just the right amount. It&#39;s a small thing, but that kind of service makes the whole evening more relaxed.

Lovely local spot. Came for a Monday dinner when everywhere else was shut. The staff were really attentive without hovering. Had the mushroom risotto - creamy and just the right amount of cheese. A solid choice for a quiet weeknight.

The place is spotless, even the sauce bottles. Makes for a really nice, relaxed vibe.

Came for the pasta and it didn&#39;t disappoint. The beef ragu pappardelle was generous, really hearty. The prawn one was good too, but the portion felt a bit smaller for the price. Still, left feeling full.

Been coming here for years, and the staff are always so welcoming. Ben and Julia remembered us from last time, made sure we got a table even though it was busy. That kind of consistent, friendly service is why we keep coming back with the kids.

Came for lunch, had the sea bass. The portion was generous for the price, which I always appreciate. Staff were nice, even showed us around the old building after. Good value for a proper meal.

Even on a packed Saturday night, the service never felt rushed. They still took the time to explain the specials properly. That attention made a real difference.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s the cosy, local feel that keeps me coming back. Always feels like a proper neighbourhood spot, even when it gets packed on a Saturday. Just book ahead.

Had the set menu with a group. Good value for the price. The sharing starters just kept coming, which was a nice touch. Food was tasty. Service was efficient.
