Famous for its Afghani and Pakistani cuisine in west London’s Southall, Watan celebrated the grand opening of its third branch earlier this evening.
And what a venue it is too on Uppering Tooting Road with a sumptious modern interior, plenty of seating both upstairs and down, and easily the best looking of the lot.
With their second in Ilford, Watan are renowned for their fully Halal fresh food and robust flavours, and operate a strict non-alcoholic policy.
Owners Atta and Hayat reportedly told Tooting Newsie: “We’re so happy to be opening our doors to the people of Tooting!
“We specialise in Afghani food, and can’t wait for you to try our authentic cuisine (in our unique decor) including Afghani kebabs, karahis and palaws – we look forward to welcoming you!”

Went for the first time on their opening night we ordered grilled fish and Kabuli pilau from the waitress that came to the table and literally said yes what do u want to order? I was brought fried fish in deep oil and rice came after. I sent the fish back and it took almost an hour later for fish to come.
10 Jul '22The second visit was Eid ul Adha we walked in ordered and the chops arrived tasteless and chewy, we also ordered friesfor my son and we kept reminding them to bring it. Our Nihari arrives frozen in the middle of the lamb Shank and they took it cab to warm…they warmed up my same chops and brought it back with the naan half eaten and exactly how I we sent it back. I woke up to leave and my husband went to the counter to pay for drinks and whatever we owed. I was absolutely gutted, rubbish service and rubbish food what is the point of spending money on all that decor while everything sucks. No one tried to stop us saying we will fix the meal stay they were happy the take money for what we owed yet oh eid day we had to leave hungry and look for another place to eat. Will never return here again

Had a late afternoon meal at the restaurant today as a first time curious ? dinner with my daughter. A warm welcome at the door and on entry a magnificent decor brings a warm fuzzy to your face. The layout of the restaurant was well thought of, not too intrusive but inducing.
15 Jul '22The service at the table was warm, courteous and attentive. The food we ordered on presentation looked delicious and did not disappoint. A must eat restaurant, serving delightful Afghanistan/Pakistani food where the staff ensures the clients experience is paramount.
Our Server Sufyan was extremely accommodating and helpful.
Watan a great place to eat

We went there 2 days ago and ordered mixed special grill ,Charsi Karadhi and lamb dum biryani.we tried almost every restaurant in Southall ,Tooting and East London but no doubt it is one of the Best .Food was full of flavour.10/10.every dish has its own flavours,serving dishes were also good. They serve food on hot plates and in modern dishes.the interior of restaurant is artistic.Ambiance was v good.You normally don’t see this type of interior in Pakistani and Indian restaurant in London.it’s v posh. I ll 100%recommend it.must go with ur family.it’s huge.staff is so professional and polite.Music was good too.Prices we’re normal.portion were big.we were 5 people.food was sufficient.v good amount of soft tender juicy flavourful meat was present in every dish.we all loved it.we even enjoyed our food next day?it’s ll give tough time to all other restaurants in Tooting for sure.we can’t wait to go there again.
