This new bar by Tooting Bec station is a little different to the establishments around Tooting. It has the feel of a Grand Union bar, think gramophones, statement wallpaper & quirky trinkets. The Imperial has a detailed cocktail & wine list & offers an Indian food menu. To order food you are required to call the Imperial Durbar to place your order from a beautiful vintage phone at the back of the bar. This is novel way for one of the many local Indian restaurants to supply the bar with food. My curry was delicious, well spiced ams served in a tali pot with a generous pot of rice. Not the best curry in the world but hits the spot & the bar has a great soundtrack & great decor.
Great place 2 mins from Tooting Bec Station. Colonial Indian vibe with a beer garden out back. Cocktails are OK for the price. Food is fantastic. Use the the phone booth to order food from restaurant next door and it's delivered to your table. Great idea. Definitely recommend this place.
Nice cocktail bar, love the old colonial Indian interiors, very eclectic and gives a cool setting. Can be booked a lot of parties so sometimes it’s too busy, but others just a really nice relaxing place to chill with wine or cocktails. Interesting concept where you can order Indian form he next doo take away form the telephone booth inside, haven’t tried it but have been assured it’s really great food!
