Run by brothers Alastair and Nick, The Imperial Durbar the latest coffee and cocktail watering hole to open in Tooting. With no space for a kitchen, the brothers decided to collaborate with their next-door neighbors to give customers a unique dining experience. They created a curry hotline by fixing up an antique telephone. Then they piped the line to their neighbors’ kitchen, the Cardamon Club. Punters wanting food, lift the phone, dial 9 and order from the menu. When the food arrives it's delivered in old Tiffin Boxes. A bell is rang and the old Hurricane lantern on the table lights up to show the food is ready.
