Sree Krishna (Tooting)

• A swathe of renewed hope is sweeping the US as Richard Nixon is inaugurated for his second presidential term and the Vietnam War has just come to an end
• S presidency is marred by the Watergate scandal and the European Union is suffering a recession
• Cheated death when he was hit by a bus in Balham &ndash
• Sree Krishna is situated in an imposing grey marble building on the corner of Carlwell Street and Tooting High Street
• At night the scene is slightly more welcoming with blue neon piping around the sign and fairy lights in the windows
• The environ within is more mood lit and traditional than some of the chaos elsewhere up the road
• Ve no idea what he was talking about
• Smart furniture and crockery (that appears to have been renewed since my last visit) are all befitting of the place and its reverence
• S no arguing this is a slightly classier joint than some others on the High Street
• Its legacy above all other things is worthy of at least one bonus point
• The result was some individually plated masala dosas and chicken 65 pieces which came with coconut
• The chicken was decently spiced and the dosa was very soft and fluffy unlike some of others we&rsquo
• Ve sampled which were more like Communion wafer than pancake
• Dips and paratha was quite the bounty
• The parathas were pretty standard and lacking in quantity
• The waiter having put a stop to our ordering thinking we were getting ahead of ourselves
• Little did he know that we are no amateurs
• Whilst the chicken was notably juicy
• The best of the bunch was the prawn in a medium sauce
• The portions were relatively small &ndash
• Another member of staff also offered us well priced draft Kingfisher that was quickly retracted once they realised the taps were off &ndash
• A dangerous move to make with three thirsty males on a Thursday
• The waiter was far more affable than others we&rsquo
• The substitute 660ml cobras were good value at 3.95 &ndash
• We like to leave with bulging bellies and weighty wallets when we tread the curry boards of the Broadway
• The premium was arguably slightly too high
• Sree Krishna is definitely worth a visit
• Sree Krishna is a firm favourite of mine when it comes to the curry scene in Tooting
• The service is always extremely attentive and the staff are more than happy to give recommendations on food and drinks
• The atmosphere is nice and relaxed
• One of the main curry was watery and quite hot when meant to be mild
• Our venue for the curry leg of CURRYBOND X is Sree Krishna
• Fortunately us CURRYBONDers are hardy souls so we make our presence felt and take our place on a rather Arthurian round table
• 10 CURRYBONDs in and the wheat is beginning to separate from the chaff with some drop outs and no shows
• In the grand scheme of our curry odyssey is certainly more Camelot than Croydon
• Time to peruse the menu and there is certainly a good selection of South Indian specials alongside the core curry staples we know and love
• Up first for this curry feast is Poori Masala
• The pooris are certainly fresh
• This time it's best described as rosti style with a good crunch and nice accompanying raita
• The main event and we plump for a good mix of specials and classics with Lamb Methi
• A solid mid table performer but a place in the Europa League is all this restaurant can hope
• We should however address the service which was friendly enough but pretty slow and took some prompting
• The service charge of 10% was also added on automatically
