Watan Restaurant Tooting is a family run Afghan and Pakistani restaurant at 180 Upper Tooting Road. Its spacious dining room and warm service support casual meals, family gatherings and larger celebrations, with a completely halal menu served every day from midday until midnight.
Kebabs are marinated before cooking over charcoal, creating the smoky centre of mixed grills and sharing platters. Chapli kebab, lamb tikka, chicken tikka, seekh kebab, lamb chops and grilled chicken can be ordered separately or brought together on a sizzling tray for the whole table.
Peshawari and Charsi karahi offer mild and hotter preparations of chicken or lamb, while Kabuli pilau pairs aromatic rice, carrots and raisins with a tender lamb shank. Mantu dumplings, biryani, curries and slow cooked meat dishes reveal further connections between Afghan and Pakistani home cooking.
Green tea, doodh pati, mango drinks, milkshakes and fresh juice accompany the spice and richness of the food. A private floor, extensive seating and catering services make Watan practical for weddings and group events, while takeaway provides a simpler option for local diners.
