And wow, did it live up to expectations. The only reason that I didn't give it 5*s is that the service was a little slow - but it was worth the wait for some authentic, home cooked style food. I had the chicken which had amazing flavour. Coupled with rice and chapati I was in seventh heaven. I had a mango lassi which completed the meal. Just writing this review is making me hungry again.

A few years ago, a friend stayed with us and we took him here. He lived in India for a bit and not pleased with the items on the menu, asked for an off menu dish -- butter chicken. The waiter said they could definitely make it as it is what they normally make for the staff after hours. This opened our world to the loveliness of butter chicken, which is now my favourite dish at Khans. The choices are plentiful and all of it is very good. The service is very good and they are quite attentive. I am even tempted to give an extra star simply because when service a pint of beer to myself and brother-in-law, the waiter got mine safely in my hands and spilled the BIL pint all down his back. Classic! Anyway, a great place to get an Indian in the village!

I raised it quietly with him at the time, but he did not acknowledge it. I subsequently became severely nauseous and suffered from sickness that lasted all night. I emailed restaurant management the next day to report this privately. Having received no response, I followed up again three weeks later. Management has completely ignored both messages. Because of the lack of response to a hygiene failure, I have reported this matter to the local Environmental Health department. I cannot recommend this establishment due to the poor hygiene and lack of customer service.

The owner is so friendly, always very welcoming and chatty and is genuinely interested in how you are. We had not booked a table and it is normally always quite busy, but we were seated immediately. We started with some poppadoms and then ordered the special meal deal- £12.50 for a starter, main dish, vegetable side and either rice or naan. It is great value for money. I had onion bhajia and my fellow diner had chicken chaat. We both ordered chicken razala for our main dish and shared mustard Bombay potatoes, sprouts with onion, pilau rice and a naan. We were stuffed! The meal was excellent. The curry was on the spicer side, but we had been made aware of that before ordering. I loved all the sauces and dips that come with the poppadoms! My favorite is the carrot, mango chutney and the other orange one, not sure of the flavor but it is amazing. Service is always excellent and I'm sure I will continue to come here for years to come when visiting London.

They have done an impressive job on the remodel updating it with a bright and clean interior tastefully decorated and well equipped. Two large screen TV's play Bollywood music videos and sporting events. When you enter there is a small kebab shop and takeaway, and you enter through the second set of doors to the dining room. The food is amazing! A dazzling array of choices and some special items. We ordered Karahi Fish, Karahi Methi Gosht, Tarka Daal and a whole tandoori chicken. This was more than enough food for four and we were all very happy to try so many tasty items. First the fish was perfectly prepared and delicately spiced. It had a great texture and wasn't "swimming" in sauce. The lamb curry was ordered spicy and the chef actually came to ask us how spicy we actually wanted it, so we explained EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA hot.. he laughed and asked if we were sure and we said we were. He delivered! It was a spicy inferno without being overpowering. The daal was very nice but the highlight was the Tandoori chicken.. it was the most flavorful one we had tried in a long time and came out perfectly moist and juicy and oozing with flavour, and at 7 quid it was quite a deal as well. We also noted on the menu the chefs special.. a WHOLE LEG OF LAMB! We vowed a night of hedonism and drinking accompanied by a lamb feast. We followed through the following week and we were rewarded for our determination with a stunning piece of culinary magic. The leg of lamb was so tender and flavourful that we decided to make it a monthly ritual.. but be forewarned you have to order it 24 hours in advance.. so think ahead! The Lahore Masala House is a welcome addition to the Kentish Town landscape.. they have great lunch deals and they also stay up late for those leaving the locals or the Forum.
