A modern, glass-fronted Indian on the burgeoning strip between The Bedford pub and Balham High Road, Indian Room has found itself something of a haven for couples. It must be the serene whiteness (table linen, walls) and candlelight. Then there’s the health-conscious cooking using as little as oil as possible. Well worth trying are the handful of dishes unique to this popular local restaurant, a wonderful apricot chicken Kashmir among them. Chicken madras, and a super-hot chicken vindaloo are consistently the most-ordered of the ‘All Time Favourites.’

The food and cocktails were delicious. Although the service was very good upon entry, it tailed off towards dessert ordering. The staff were very friendly however. Thank you.

I thought that, because the ability to bring your own alcohol leads to this restaurant having a more western clientele than some of Tooting’s other Pakistani restaurants, the food might be compromised. This was not the case. Everything we ordered was excellent and served by enthusiastic and helpful staff. Great experience. Can’t wait to go again.

Everything was great. Only comment would be that it’s a very echoey room and some acoustic treatments might help.
