Kolam South Indian Restaurant has served food inspired by Tamil Nadu at 60 Upper Tooting Road since 1982. Its long history and family approach have made it a familiar part of Tooting’s dining scene, with a relaxed setting built around generous hospitality and traditional South Indian flavours.
Dosas arrive with crisp edges and a choice of fillings, accompanied by sambar and chutneys that add warmth, tang and freshness. Idli and vada offer further classic combinations of soft and crisp textures, making these dishes a natural introduction to the restaurant’s regional cooking.
South Indian curries cover meat, seafood and vegetable preparations, supported by biryani, fragrant rice and a selection of breads. Aromatic spices are used to build depth rather than overwhelm the main ingredients, giving each dish its own balance of richness, heat and savoury flavour.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options make it easy for groups with varied requirements to share a meal. Drinks, desserts and takeaway service add flexibility, while the restaurant’s longstanding presence offers diners a direct connection to the food traditions of Tanjore and the wider Tamil region.
