Outstanding Experience with Incredible Service We had an absolutely delightful dining experience! The food was bursting with authentic flavours — from the beautifully spiced biryani to the rich and creamy curries, every dish was perfectly cooked and presented. The naan was fresh, fluffy, and full of flavour, and the sizzling mixed grill was a real highlight. What made the visit truly exceptional was the outstanding service we received. Our waiter, Imran Khan, was incredibly polite, attentive, and welcoming throughout. He made us feel comfortable and well looked after, always serving with a warm smile and professional manner. His courteous nature and helpful suggestions really enhanced the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious cuisine and top-notch hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

This is our first time to eat on this restaurant’s and definitely will come back and recommend to our friends. Ali and Suphian was very helpful and accommodating and friendly. We don’t know the food and they were so patient in explaining everything to us. The food is superb and soooo tasty! The service is so quick. They are very attentive.

I had an excellent dining experience at Watan in Tooting. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented, with each dish showcasing authentic and delicious flavors. The service was impeccable; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was enjoyable. The warm and inviting atmosphere added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend Watan to anyone looking for quality food and great service. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon!

Food was delicious, service impeccable and really good value - what more do you want! Highlights were the mango lassi and butter chicken. All the complementary sauces were amazing! It was our friend’s birthday and they gave us a dessert on the house! Will return soon...

Unexpected Find, Unforgettable Flavours We stumbled upon Watan in Tooting while on the hunt for a good plate of Paya — and we hit the jackpot. For the uninitiated, Paya is a traditional Pakistani dish made from slow-cooked lamb trotters in a deeply spiced, aromatic gravy. It’s rich, hearty, and full of character — and Watan’s take on it didn’t disappoint. The gravy was velvety, full of soul-warming spices, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. Beyond the Paya, everything else we ordered was packed with bold, authentic flavours. The Afghani mixed grill was a showstopper — a beautifully presented platter (see photo!) of smoky, tender meats, each piece marinated to perfection and grilled with just the right char. It wasn’t just food — it was theatre. The aromas alone were enough to stop conversations at nearby tables. The dining room was packed and buzzing — clearly a local favourite, with the kind of lively atmosphere that makes everything taste even better. Despite the rush, the team handled it with ease. Fresh naan came hot and pillowy, the mango lassi was a creamy, cooling counterpoint to the spice, and the kulfi trio — mango, pista, and malai — was pure frozen indulgence. Each flavour stood on its own, but together they were a nostalgic celebration of South Asian sweets. And then the pista kheer — soft, creamy, and delicately spiced — wrapped up the meal with quiet elegance. Comfort food in the truest sense. Our server, Bilal, was exceptional — warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. Even in the middle of a busy night, he made us feel like the only table that mattered. Best of all? It’s excellent value for money — you can expect to pay around 75 per couple, including a bottle of mineral water, for a full feast that feels far more indulgent than the price suggests. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Watan is the kind of place best enjoyed with family, friends, and a hearty appetite.

Best Pakistani restaurant in London. Fizza was very hospitable since we sat down, until we finished our food. Also, the food was really delicious even thought it was my first time.

The food in this restaurant is absolutely excellent, there is a lot of choice in the area but I would highly recommend you put this at the top of your list. The food was so flavourful, and the perfect level of spice. There was three of us and we ordered a curry, a biryani and a kebab which we thought was a good idea as you get a bit of everything. Thank you to Ali for the great service too. We can’t wait to go back!

Good food, superb service. The staff members were super accommodating and kind to us. We went in the evening, there was a spot provided to pray. The butter chicken is very sweet and not at all spicy, it would’ve tasted better if it had less sweetness and was little spicier. But overall it was as a nice experience.
