I don't think Elephant is particularly expensive for what you get tbh. It's always been bloody lovely when I've eaten there apart from the naan which is a bit rubbish.

The problem with the naan is that it is not freshly prepared it tastes like telcos. But I agree that the food is lovely fresh and not expensive for what you get. The samosa chaat is really good and about a fiver.

It's an ugly word and it seems to have made an undeserved comebackWhat's wrong with eateries?

Rotis and dhosas and even chapatis are preferable.
when they are fresh straight out of the tandoor they are not rubbish at at all but there's no tandoor at Elephant which is why they are rubbish there.

Yes, but it's a handy word for when you're not sure if a place classes itself as a cafe, bar, burger joint, bar/grill, restaurant, or erm... eatery
Wonder if snackeries exist?

I've never had a decent one.
They're either too oily or too dry

Its well expensive for food which claims to be from the street but sold at restaurant prices. Try eating there in the winter with your food served on tin plate whilst trying to wrap a small blanket around yourself just to try and keep warm. Value for money- no way. Better off taking a trip down to Totting for some great cheap food and fresh naan.

The Bombay Inn is pretty good, to be fair. I make the mistake of ordering a take out from The Chutney the other day - absolutely terrible, just utterly bland and tasteless, and I'm not a spicy curry fan by any means. Easily the worst curry I've had for years and years.

Where do you recommend going?

But what would you call somewhere that allows you to sit down, provide a blankett keep you warm and offer street food?Yes, but it's a handy word for when you're not sure if a place calsses itse'f as a cafe, bar, burger joint, bar/grill, restaurant, or erm... eatery

Sri Lankan food. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Yes you can certainly get great food in tooting, I have always liked the Genuine Spicy Taste Lahori place. But (imo) Elephant is (apart from the naan) at least as good as anywhere I've eaten in Tooting, and I've eaten in most of them.
