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.

Absolutely delicious dinner!…read more We made reservations online about 2 months ago. 5:15 dinner worked well for us since we had a show at 7. We checked in on the lady with the tablet on the right side of the entrance. The left side is for walk ins. Super long line even at 5pm. But they were handing out small glasses of chai and something else. Anyway, the reservation line is short and they sat us right away. We wished we could have sat at the patio - it's covered. We didn't see that until we were already drinking. Well, next time! The ambiance - beautiful spot with lots and lots of tables. Every single one of them was taken. Tons of staff! They take good care of you here. Patrons vary, from dates to family dinners - the whole gamet! Come one, come all! The drinks came out right away. Dishoom IPA and chai. Beer came with a frosted glass. The chai was delicious! The food was amazing! Goan monkfish curry Ruby chicken Saffron cauliflower Garlic naan Basmati rice Everything was superb!

I ended up selecting the Biryani Shah Jahani (Lamb) and some Tandori Partatha bread. The flavor was explosive on my pallet. I requested it as a medium spice level and was concerned that it may have been too "tame." In the end it was perfect (for my tastes). Had a nice amount of heat but not overly so. I'm here all week and can see myself swinging back by here multiple times. A definite place to add to your list of must experience Indian restaurants in London!!!

We could barely hear each other talk over the chatter around us. With that said, it did feel like everyone in there was almost a family. It did not have any stodginess nor formality to it. Wish it were a bit quieter, but overall I liked the vibe. The ordering system... chaos. Our server came over and we started asking for dishes. At one point he randomly walked off and we were like "uhhh what". Then he came back and continued taking our order. What arrived at our table was a combination of things we ordered and things we definitely did not order, with some things we ordered missing altogether. The food: good. I loved the saag paneer and the daal. The lamb chops and chicken tikka masala weren't as good as Tayyabs, the chicken being notably worse. Price point was about the same. Our total was only £20 pp though, so definitely felt like the food was a good value. Between 3 and 4 stars at this point, so the deciding factor for me is the fact that neither stall in the women's toilets locked. Overall, Tayyabs and Lahore are, on paper, very similar restaurants, and Tayyabs (in my opinion) is the clear winner.

We ordered their: Nihari, Chicken Biryani, Keema Naan, and one other dish I can't remember. Everything was PHENOMENAL! Every dish and bite was just absolutely loaded with spices, aromatics, and flavor. Seriously, it was so good my wife and I ordered another keema naan. The 3 sauces they drop off with the naan were so addicting too. I could eat them alone. There was a little accident during our meal though that involved a spill and some stains on my and my wife's clothes/shoes, but stuff happens and they did right by us. Excellent service and even better food. My only complaint is that my wife and I didn't come back a 2nd time before going home :(

I was brought there by a friend whose indian acquaintances recommended the place. We were three, and ordered a huge amount of food without realizing what we were doing: ended up eating mountains of delicious meat (especially the chicken and the lamb), served with pretty spicy sauces and delicious naan bread. Too bad that, being a muslim place, no alcohol is served (or allowed, probably): happily, their sweet lassi is absolutely FANTASTIC, and leaves nothing to regret. Ended up paying £15pp, but we ate an awful lot: one can surely be satisfied by spending 10/12 pounds. 3.5 for the unsightly look.
