Spice Village Tooting

Our server Zainab was fantastic. Our food was fantastic. The Lamb Karahi was falling off the bone with the softest bone marrow. The service was welcoming and lamb biryani was filled with flavour. Mocktails are also excellent. I highly recommend this place for special occasions. Zainab also gave us a free milk cake which was so lovel!

Amazing atmosphere, great food, great service. We came because my mom saw her her favourite vlogger recommend it. So we literally flew here from Singapore for my PhD graduation ceremony in Oxford and took a d-tour to come to spice village. It was worth it. We had the chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka, Chapli kabab, butter naan, tandoori parata, and halwa poori. We had sweet lassi and a mocktail. The halwa poori was amazing. And they do a Sunday breakfast deal that is crazy cheap. Chicken tikka and chicken tikka masala were good. They have both the creamy and less creamy (desi) version if chicken tikka masala. If you want UK's national dish, go for the creamy version. Their chapli was decent. Good but not great. Very visually impressive. A but too overdone for our tastes. Crispier rather than softer. But this can be a matter of taste. We also ordered the sweet lassi. It was too watery; would not recommend. We saw some people order mango lassi at the table across us. The texture of the mango lassi seemed a lot more left. So maybe go for that. Overall a great place. The prices were affordable. I wold recommend this place!!

Lahori nashta here is one of the best I’ve had. Service was great and I had a lovely time. The dynamite chicken was a real letdown, it came out as basic chicken pops with sauce on top, so I wouldn’t recommend that. Otherwise, a really good spot.
