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!
Love the place, very quite in the morning with welcoming staff who have bright smiles, you'll feel right at home. Awesome place to study and do assignments if you are a morning person. I personally recommend Chai Latte and some muffins to try. The interiors are spectacular! I always learn something new about the place, never ending to amaze me.
Great cocktail bar, good food and lovely staff! Went there for my friends birthday and we were treated amazingly! Highly recommend as it has a beautiful garden!
Thank you very much :)
This is a great place for a relaxed drink, with a warm and inviting interior. You can order delicious Indian food from the restaurant next door and eat inside the bar. Good staff and a beer garden round it out to be a great little spot!
Durbar is my favourite bar the staffs specially Diego, Sarah and the manager Nathalie are fabulous. It's a welcoming environment the price are reasonable very relaxing and calm bar most of the time they are very busy as there cocktails are tasty try them no regrets
Great place to go for some drinks with a few mates, the Chai Martini is the absolute One! Staff are great, decor is on point like mad. Book the cubby space at the back if your planning your visit. Enjoy. Peace. X
Beautiful and unique interior from the olden days influenced by the Indian British raj as the owners once lived there I believe. The owners are two very welcoming friendly chaps. Def a good place to chill and hve chai during the day and cocktails at night they also serve good food. Worth a visit.
Great new cocktail and gin bar with a stylish old world feel. It also does delicious tea and coffee, the 'chai masala' was awesome, and there's a telephone at the back through which you can order seriously good Indian food from a local takeaway that gets delivered to the bar in 'Tiffin tins'! Relaxing and classy, its a great place to stop off for a drink after work. I'm looking forward to the next Sunday evening session...
The decor is lovely, the drinks are great, especially the Negroni (Mama Mia, as they back in Italy), The gin and tonics plentiful and the staff are very friendly. Look forward to visiting again.
Giant Gins completely blew me away. Crazy little indian themed bar in tooting bec. Great little find. Love the cocktails. Secret curry phone hotline to order in food. Definitely worth a visit if you're in tooting. Little Gem!
One of the most querky pubs I have ever been too. Fascinating drinks menu. However, please do not order any food.
Great atmosphere, great cocktails and friendly staff!
