South Indian restaurant in [[Locale Tooting|Tooting]], in the [[Category Good Curry Guide 2007|2007 Good Curry Guide]]. They bill themselves as "specialists in Kerala cuisine". [[Kake]], [[Ewan]], Ben, and Matthew visited on a Wednesday evening in May 2009. We hadn't booked, but there was no problem finding us a table. We shared three of the starters to begin. [[Kake]]'s favourite of these was the uthappam (£4.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3550207158/ photo]</small>, a slightly sour rice/lentil pancake topped with fresh tomatoes, curry leaves, chillies, and onions, and served with a curry sauce and a tasty coconut chutney. Chilli paneer (£6) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3550232826/ photo]</small> was OK, though not amazing, and not really worth £6. Cashew nut pakoda (£4) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3550229596/ photo]</small> was a bit bar-snack-like, but considered by [[Ewan]] to be very tasty. [[Kake]]'s main — vellappam with chicken Malabar (£7) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3550213012/ photo]</small> — was disappointing. The vellappam itself, a fermented rice-based pancake, was just fine, but the accompanying chicken Malabar tasted like the boil-in-the-bag "curries" my mum used to make us eat in the '80s. [[Ewan]]'s avial (£3 as a side dish) was a little tricky to eat, as its main ingredient was a gourd-type pod with an inedible skin, but tasty enough. Service was fine. The waiter correctly offered the wine to [[Kake]] to taste, as the person who ordered it (a refreshing change from all those places which default to offering it to one of the men). They were also happy to be summoned over to identify the mystery vegetable in [[Ewan]]'s avial. [[Kake]]'s verdict: I might come back. Accessibility: One step up to get in.
