So I've lived in the Eastend for 10 years and have never been to Tayyabs. Yes I know, but whenever we've thought about going, we've not had a booking and thanks to reputation and the guide books there's always a massive queue! One rainy Friday evening a group of us decided to give it a chance we could get in. The queue was short considering. There was only 4 of us so a little easier to seat. The place was rammed! After about 20 minutes of waiting we got a table. The vibe in the restaurant is similar to crowded pub, very loud and hectic. Service was ok, we felt more like a hinderance than paying customers. I think the restaurant has become a victim of it's own success. The food was good, but definitely not worth queueing around the block for. read more

1 star for the amazing mango lassi. 1 star for the very nice paratha bread. 1 star for the nice chicken tikka masala (the sauce was good). No stars beyond this, because they don't seem to be able to cook meat. Spices and flavours were great...but the lamb rack was very dry after my first piece (there were 4), and the chicken in the curry was pretty dry, as well. Didn't finish my meal. This did not live up to the hype. read more

A wild, crowded scene of locals, traditionally clothed Pakistani women, investment bankers, euro - hippies, etc. all there for one reason: absolutely delicious authentic cuisine, mostly grilled dishes and tandoori, at incredibly bargain prices. There is seating on two levels -- try to get a seat on the main level, not downstairs for the full experience. Be prepared to wait, and sit in tight quarters next to a full table of Indian men, business people, East enders or any of the above. Once your food arrives, none of the seating or crowding will matter anymore...just the smell of the sizzling, smoking dishes is enough to delight and satisfy! And no, the total on the bill is not a mistake. read more

Such a let-down. The only thing that this place has going for it is the food. Normally, that would suffice. But Tayyeb proves to be the exception to the rule. The wife and I booked a reservation here and after a long trip on the tube and a bit of self-induced (for Tayyeb) confusion about how to seat a bunch of parties that were queued up and raring to go, we sat down and had dishes, cutlery, and sauces plopped unceremoniously on our table. Having grown up with Cantonese waiters doing the same thing (but with much more insouciance), we weren't perturbed. Nor were we perturbed when we were told that they no longer did BYOB (great, another bottle of vino to pack for our trip back!). Nor were we perturbed when I asked for a fork and was given a knife (I ended up eating everything with a serving spoon). What did perturb me was the food. After such inept service and organization, I hoped fervently that every bite of the Karahi lamb chop masala, karahi gosht, garlic naan, and sikkh kebabs would be manna from heaven. Not so. They were all good- the garlic naan was soft, the kebabs were spicy and aromatic, and the main dishes were delightfully fragrant with a hint of heat. But they weren't that good. It certainly didn't warrant the long trip, the slack service, and the utterly self-induced chaos that marked the entire experience. Oh yes, that BYOB policy? Totally arbitrary. The table next to us pulled a bottle of vino out of their bag and was handed a corkscrew. Unfortunately for us, we had already finished eating. Psssht! read more

Food - I really enjoyed Tayyab's when I was in London last march. The dishes are not too heavy, and are very flavorful. My favorite dishes were the tikka marsala and the karami lamb. The naan and paratha were very good too. The sauces/jams add a lot of flavor. Service - great service with lots of helpful recommendations. Final thoughts - definitely worth a visit if you're in the area read more

Yum yum yum. Affordable, delish, and a BYOB. We arrived at 7PM on a Sunday evening - so happy we did, there was a massive queue just after we arrived. They also take reservations online - definitely recommend you make one. Service was a little slow (according to our friend who took us there), and they mixed up one of our orders by giving our starters to the wrong table. Aside from the mixups and having to wait, the food was really good and a decent price. The lamb chops are fabulous, as are the king prawns. Ended the massive meal by splitting a mango lassi and then walked home in a food coma. read more

Visiting London, getting the Indian craving, everyone said to go to Tayyab's. And, for once, everyone was not wrong. Goodly number of people in for lunch, tables fairly crowded, but everyone in joyous feasting mode. Pretty spicy, pretty authentic, pretty noisy -- a really nice experience in every sense of the senses! read more

YESSS! Tayyabs!!! wait, did you MAKE A RESERVATION?! good for groups. BYOBooze. no fuss satisfying indian food. dinner out w the gang, sorted! read more

Even though there was a 20 minute wait (expected on a Saturday night at 7pm) the staff were amazing and kept order and managed to fairly get everyone seated. The most amazing part of our service was that when we ordered our Chicken Tikka started (which is frickin' amazing my I add), it was on the table within 90 seconds. That is no exaggeration. The speed and friendliness of service was impecable and quite amazing for such a busy night. The bill at the end of the night was incredibly low, despite my wife and I being absolutely stuffed. We ordered: Chicken Tikka starter Karahi Chicken main Rice Garlic Naan Baring in mind that isn't a lot of meals, we were both stuffed. Living in the US, it's so hard to find a good Indian, but when you come back home to this... it's all worth it. Mega Yum times. read more

Fun atmosphere, ok food, ok service Pros: Food arrived quickly Restaurant was clean Unique atmosphere Cons: Very crowded Seating is a challenge Getting the attention of the service staff is near impossible Naan was interesting - was sweet in the middle which was unexpected Only accepted cash on this day...even though store sign says it accepts a variety of credit cards read more

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere. My favorite Indian place in London. The location is also convenient and great, near Whitechapel Bell Foundry and the East London Mosque. read more

Tayyabs - Pics at The London Foodie I have wanted to go to Tayyabs for a very long time but for one reason or another, I never managed to get a table. On one occasion, a couple of friends and I tried our luck without a reservation - as we arrived there we found, as predicted, a very long queue ahead of us. After waiting for 20 minutes or so we gave up, and headed to the nearby Lahore Kebab House. Last Thursday, I finally made to Tayyabs thanks to the delightful Jennifer and Louise who miraculously managed to book us a table - never underestimate a woman's power of persuasion I would say! I had first met Jen & Louise at the Bangalore Express tasting a few weeks earlier, and was looking forward to eating and catching up with both again. We arrived at Tayyabs to find the busiest restaurant I have ever seen - the queue was a tangle of nearly a hundred or so people huddled together, pushing and shoving and looking rather miserable. Despite our booking, we still had to wait a good 40 minutes for our table while others with no booking had to wait even longer. Our waiter was cheerful and well natured considering the number of diners he had to look after - he patiently took our order and assisted us to open our bottle of wine. Being a Pakistani restaurant, Tayyabs is a BYO restaurant which helps to make it an even more affordable choice. After a few minutes, two sizzling hot plates, piled high with a selection of the most beautifully char-grilled meats, arrived at our table - the smell was wonderful and we quickly tucked in. The meat was tender and had been perfectly seasoned. It was spicy without being too hot, and combined with the heavenly char-grilled flavours it made for a sensational dish. The selection of meats included "chicken tikka" £2.80, "lamb chops" £5.50, and "sheekh kebab" @ £0.90 each. Each plate of meat cost £11.90. To follow the grilled meats, we ordered two curries - "Karahi Chicken" £6 and "Allo Meat" (Lamb) £6.20. These were also excellent, as the karahi (like small woks), where the curries were cooked and served, had been blackened by the intense heat and were giving out that perfectly char-grilled aroma. To accompany our mains we also ordered a couple of the vegetable dishes, the "Lahori Chickar Chana" (chickpeas) £4.80 and the baby pumpkin or "Tinda Masala" £5. These were fried and served in Karahis, they were both deliciously spicy and had good flavours. We also had "Pilau Rice" £2.50, the most scrumptious Peshwari Nan £2.50 and a "Garlic Nan" @ £2. As we brought our own wine, we only shared a large bottle of water £2, and a very creamy and delicious mango lassi which £2 was a real bargain. By the end of the meal, we were all too full to order dessert so we shared a couple of "Kulfi" (Pistachio ice cream skewers) @ £2.50 each. The ice cream was sensational and I wish I had ordered a whole one for myself! My experience at Tayyabs has revived my love for Pakistani cuisine, its kebabs and curries. At £67 for a table of 5 or £13.40 per person, Tayyabs is incredibly good value. Despite the chaotic booking system and ludicrous queues, I cannot wait to return to Tayyabs and try all those dishes again. Verdict - Sensational grilled meats, wonderful Karahi curries and vegetables at very reasonable prices. I cannot wait to return. Highly recommended. read more

The food here, at least the grills, is good. The currys not great and certainly far better in most other places around London. The grills as good as they are lack the distinct flavour of a tandoor. You can't serve Tandoori Chicken and not cook it in the tandoor. The roti's were the same. Now all this would still make a restaurant lack well but their service is quite horrible. We had a reservation for 9.30 pm last night and upon arrival our name was checked in to their computer and we were 5-10 minutes. We could see how busy they were so we waited patiently for 15 minutes before I asked him again and they said "you have cancelled your reservation". This was rather strange as we had already been told by the same guy yes I have your reservation and we will seat you soon. The manager then finds us and says, your table is ready at which point I narrate this incident to him which he just shrugs off! During the meal one of our grill dishes never showed up. So we pointed this out to them and both the server and the manager proceed to question about how this could be true as the kitchen said they sent it. Are we sure we did not eat it. Now, which self respecting restaurant would question their customer, especially when the dish in question was £2.70! I for one will not be going back to this place and I would suggest if you want service and great Indian Grills head on over to Sitaaray on Drury Lane. read more

The first time I came here I was pretty blown away. I went with my London-ite friend who seemed to order everything, so I'm sure he knew what he was doing. The second time was quite recent, and while still awesome, not as great as the first. The highlight of this meal for me are the sauces they bring out to eat with the flatbreads. The spicy one is SO good. My husband and I have a problem with heat-addiction, so we finished that one. It's pretty hot, actually. Looking around at all the other tables, most had hardly touched the spicy one. The bbq lamb appetizer was incredible. It came out steaming hot and we ate that up in one minute. The lentils and chicken dish I had were also great. My husband ordered a shrimp dish which neither of us could eat. That is saying a lot, as shrimp is both of our faves. Do not order seafood here. I guess we should have known. The service was super short and unfriendly. But the prices are very reasonable. read more

I give this place an A+ for phenomenal North Indian/Pakistani food. I've not had better anywhere else and wish NYC had something like this. Highlights include the perfectly done Naan, the Mango Lassi, the lamb chops and the Chicken Tikka Masala. To boot, it is cheap. And really nothing is cheap in London. Just be prepared for the long waits. But well worth it. I try to come here every time I am in London. read more

Tayyabs is definitely off the beaten path, but worth searching out. The food is fresh and I would highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan! This was also probably my cheapest meal in London! read more

Awesome and affordable Indian food -- if I could give 4.5 stars I would. Came with two friends right before 7 and we were seated after a 5 min wait (the line and wait became much longer after 730). To start each table is given a plate of delicious papadum and three chutneys. We ordered the chicken tikka masala (delicious), karage chicken (a bit of a cinnamon kick, very unique), garlic naan , rice, daal (my favorite dish of the night), eggplant (really good), and a jug of mango lasse (they ran out of banana). Had we been bigger lamb fans we would have ordered their dry meat. Overall it was a great meal, really lively ambiance, and an affordable 43GBP total! Highly recommend coming and bringing a few bottles of wine or beer -- it's BYOB -- better value than Dishoom. read more

We went here a week.after visiting another curry house Lahore Original Kebab (round the corner ) . Frankly disappointing. A huge place on 3 floors. Noisy and packed on a Friday night. The lamb chops were delicious but the curries were average. The prawns tiny and chewy. The chicken bland and the spinach likewise. The worst is we still cannit get the smell out of our coats. read more

In the spirit of Diwali, I lit this diya... The kebab aroma infuses the nose even 2 blocks away... be careful w/ your knitted wear and long hair... it grows on you :) The colourful sweets are magnets to the eyes while we wait for a usual good 40 mins ... although it's hardly you'll have the stomach post the feast...you can always take away, having those as midnight snacks like me :) The small tables for 2 are very cozy, you can almost do forehead kisses w/ your date ... while the round big table close by the kitchen is good for group celebration. As you sip the jumbo mango lassi, one feels that you can dance w/ the chefs. It's not always crowded as you think, i.e. Friday 5pm is not a bad try. read more

We had to try some Indian food while in London - it's better here than in India, right? That's what everyone says. After sifting through dozens of Indian places on the internet, we were stressed: they were all either too expensive (like ), too arrogant, or just too busy. Luckily, one of my friends stumbled upon this place ticked away in sketchy Whitechapel. It was a godsend. Somehow we got seated right away, but it was during the Olympics, so no one was in the city. Make reservations. It was fucking bloody delicious. I have no idea what we got, I let my Punjabi friend Dave do all of the ordering, and even he was impressed with the food. I think we tried 32 different types of Naan that evening. Kilos of lamb. I don't know, it was a blur. The best part (for an American in London) - the prices were very reasonable. Oh yea, BYOB. 3 points. read more

Holy crap this place is AWESOME. My friend / local tour guide insisted we eat here as one of the must-try foodie adventures in London. I was not disappointed. With rumors of endless lines during the dinner time rush, we opted to do a lunch instead. Either way, just go. Sitting down at about 1:30pm, the place was full with people and still more coming in. Guess Londoner's take the late lunch mentality seriously. We got seated rather promptly though (thanks to my friend ingenious reservation making skills) and began to drool at the menu. Service is, well, a bit off. I can only rationalize it to "your restaurant is so popular that your servers could act like a-holes but we'll still sit there no matter what"... and we did. We ordered the: lamb chop starter, mutton tikka, chicken kahari, allo gosht, and some naan. Did I mention there were more then 2 of us although I could have inhaled all that food on my own. It was amazingly delicious and hearty. They did the lamb chops well (I am generally not a fan) and the mutton was ridiculous! Top it off with some BYOB action and I was a happy camper. Ended the meal completely satisfied with room for a mango kulfi. While it took about 15 min . for us to even get our check or for them to make change (again, service is questionable), I became an instant fan of this place and I thought the prices were REALLY reasonable. read more

There isn't much more to add, that hasn't been said already in the previous 396+ reviews. Accept the ruckus, fast paced, fun nature of this extremely busy and popular restaurant. The service is prompt and the food is fast and full of flavour. Despite the hussle and bussle, which can feel a bit much at time, just embrace it. They do extremely well to cater for the large number of customers. All in all, great fast, good food at affordable an affordable price. read more

Tayyabs is an extremely popular "Indian" restaurant in London. It serves more Sindhi / Pakistani kind of food. Friends who have been here before, recommend the kebabs over the curries. Their lamb chops were quite good as were the seekh kebabs. Husband and friends said that the prawns were good too. The chicken tikka though was dry and the paneer tikka rubbery. Kheema was a nice spicy gravy that went great with the rotis. The biryani was tasty, but I was quite put off with the addition of peas and other veggies in a mutton biryani. Tayyabs is great VFM, but not a "return to" on my list. read more

Tayyab's always satisfies... tucked behind the east london mosque& near royal london hospital, you'll find perfectly grilled food, nice sized portions, & good prices. My current favourite dish is the lentils & baby aubergine, my husband's is the sag meat (beef). Nice mix of clientele, from local Asians, to OAPs and tourists...everyone seems welcome. If you are going for dinner I reccommend booking in advance, as the queues can be quite long. read more

Now, this is just one of the most famous place where to eat in London. tl;dr: just go. First of all, this is not an indian place. It's a pakistani place: that means north western indian cuisine with less fresh vegetables and less fresh herbs used and more dry spices. The place is quite strange, blue neon, strange decors, it's kitcsch and fake stylish, you know the kind of places trying really hard to be cool and ending up in being ridiculous? Yes, That kind of place! Then, the queue: I always come here in two, and I never waited more than 20 minutes. Last time I met another couple in queue who actually reserved a spot for two people and they ended up in waiting in line as much as us! So... well if you are a lot of people then book a table, otherwise just come here and put yourself in queue, and you won't wait too much.... well you'll wait standing and looking at other people eating, and that's going to make you hungry, but that's funny! It's a BYOB, and a strict one, as they do not serve any kind of alcohol. I don't think I need to add anything else, just come even without reservation and take as many dishes as you can, but beware: basically everything is a bit spicy, not deadly spicy but a bit, better not to bring anybody who can stand a bit of hotness! read more

This place was highly recommended. I thought it was ok. We had several items: - mixed grill: good variety. i liked the chicken the best. the seekh kabob was really spicy and tasted a little gamey. - dal ghosht: very good, which was surprising because i don't like to mix the 2 together - keema naan: was ok - chicken karahi: really good - mango lassi: loved it - chicken biryani: nothing to write home about The pappadums were good and came with a variety of chutneys, which were nice. However if you want mind-blowing Pakistani food, I'm sure there is something amazing elsewhere. I just don't know where. I did like the look of the restaurant. read more

I heard from many people that this place was fantastic and after looking at all the positive reviews on yelp I knew I had to give it a try. I took my fellow yelpers advice and made a reservation a few days ahead and brought a bottle of wine to this BYOB spot. When we arrived for our 6:30 reservation there was still a few open tables, but by the time we left around 8:30 the place was packed with a wait. And it was only a Monday! If you have a group, be sure to call ahead. The food was full of flavour and the selection was pretty good. We weren't too overwhelmed with the massive menu that many other places have. They even have the menu online so you can check it out ahead of time. We asked a few questions from our server and he didn't seem to have a problem answering them which we found helpful. Don't ask anyone else helping the room anything, they won't help you, well at least that was our experience. Their was a main man on the bottom floor and he was the only one we could ask questions to, order, or pay. I give it only 4 stars rather than 5 because they brought a starter after all our food came out and it was clearly sitting up in the kitchen because it was dried out and not hot anymore. Our breads also came out a little later than our mains so we had to wait for them to begin. So, nothing awful, just not the perfect set-up. The price is very fair and all together we are very interested in returning with a few more people so we can try a bigger variety of dishes. read more

Not much to say! One of the best in London. The lamb chops, and the chicken curry really stand out. Love the byob factor. Tescos is near by. Wish they didn't rush you quite so much. And the pappadoms can be skipped Always a good place to bring guests to in London. read more

An essential part of planning a trip in a foreign city or country is relying on Yelp reviewers to point you in the right direction. Tayyabs is the most reviewed restaurant in London, and for good reason. Approaching the nondescript restaurant, i was unsure. However once we opened the door and saw the hundreds of people dining, we knew we were on to something. We started with a mango lassi, we were preparing ourselves, just incase the food was uber spicy. We had the dry beef, which comes in two sizes and is by far dry. It was so spicy and the meat was so flavourful. We over ordered, tip: if sharing a few dishes, order the small version. The next was grilled shrimp. Most people have been to a mexican restaurant where your fajitas come steaming hot to your table. This was a more refined version of that. A screaming hot skillet comes to your table and you can see the onions and lettuce actually burning the longer it sits. The shrimp were massive and tender and so spiced, simply delicious. Overall, I found the service lacked simply because the restaurant just accommodates so many people. However the food and electric atmosphere would bring me back into Tayyabs read more

Tayyabs - Dry Beef - Indian Near Me - London, XGL

See all

Most impressive Pakistani restaurant I've ever been to. With Pakistani restaurants, you're usually sacrificing food quality and authenticity for dining experience and overall restaurant environment and attention to detail. This is the first Pakistani joint I have seen that breaks that trend successfully all while also keeping competitive prices on its menu. For any Pakistanis traveling to London from out of town, definitely stop in if you have time. It's an impressive establishment. read more

New Tayyabs is fantastic. We had an assortment of grilled meats, including juicy lamb chops and fat, perfectly grilled prawns. The veggie dishes, with spinach, lentils, chick peas, okra, and eggplant, were all great too. And the garlic naan was the best naan I've ever had. Be prepared to wait, but fortunately my wife and I were half an hour late and our friends had already secured a table. read more

Come here knowing with the expectation of waiting.... and waiting.... to be seated. But it's so worth the wait because their lamb chops are as good as people say they are. Bring your own booze, hang with friends, and your wait will seem a LOT shorter read more

This is our go to place for cheap food, but you MUST make a reservation in advance. Cheap eats. BYOB. Delicious food. What more could you ask for? Be prepared for really slow service. It's all part of the experience. read more

I do understand why other people may be gaga for Tayyabs, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I had an old school friend visiting from the States who'd never had Indian food. As we eat Indian a fair bit, and recently did a cooking class in Goa for a week, I decided this must be rectified immediately. I wanted to be able to show him Brick Lane and the environs, but I knew the restaurants on Brick Lane can be a bit hit-and-miss. I'd heard great things about Tayyabs though, and they had online booking, so it was an easy choice. We arrived at 7pm on a Friday for our booking, just 3 of us. We kept trying to say we had a booking but they weren't interested as it wasn't crazily busy (Ramadan fasting time). They took us up to the top floor and we got a table right away. It is definitely close quarters but okay. The menu is quite short, and as our guest didn't know what any of it was, really, I just went ahead and ordered - a lamb dish, a chicken tikka masala, sag aloo, rice and garlic naan, along with some paneer tikka, lamb chops, and samosas to start. Our guest had brought a beer, so I asked for a bottle opener, and we ordered Coke. The food came out pretty much all at once, except for the paneer which was first. My favourite foods of the night were the samosas and the paneer. I didn't try the lamb chops, and our guest only had one, so I think he wasn't blown away. I just didn't care much for the curry, to be honest. Not a huge amount of flavour and a bit oily.The garlic naan was more like a garlic bread from Prezzo, swimming in butter. The service wasn't rude but wasn't attentive. After we'd been there about an hour, it started getting really, really loud. This was easily because of the amount of BYOB that the tables around us had - they were well on their way to being wasted. We made a pretty swift exit around this point. The upsides were that we all left full, nothing was *bad*, and we spent under £50 for a silly amount of food. A good spot for a tourist to feel authentic, but not so much for someone who has more time and choices. read more

Busy even on a Tuesday. Flavorful and authentic dishes for a great price. Great for groups! Don't forget to order the garlic naan and BYOB! read more

A friend recommended this place to me and I had to try Indian food in London. Wait isn't bad but they charge you for the dosa and chutney. They just give it to you and I had no idea it wasn't free. The lamb chops were delicious. I came here by myself so I didn't order that much food. I wanted to try other things as well. read more

Pakistani cuisine. Voted number seven in the Zaggat guide's top ten London restaurants this year as well as Indian restaurant of the year so I had high expectations. You can have a nice meal here for £10 which is typical for the Brick Lane area, not typical for central London generally. The service was not good in a conventional way, but they got the job done, and were very fast. It's a place to grab a quick bite, don't expect to hold your table unless you book the private dining room. As Tayyabs is not licensed you can bring your own and on the upside there is no corkage fee. To start I recommend the Seekh Kebabs, they come out sizzling on a hot plate with loads of gorgeous onions. For main course I got the Daal Tarka. It was nice but not as good as I'd had on Brick Lane before. Definately get the garlic Naan, its really tasty especially compared to the pilau rice which is only average. read more

Very crowded, ended up waiting an hour and a half on a Friday night! Very busy place but the staff are very courteous and service is prompt. Food comes quickly too, although not sure if that is a good or a bad thing! In terms of dishes, there are limited choices, and no beef or pork, so its between chicken, prawns, lamb, and veggies. I can recommend the lamb chop, which turned out to be like spare ribs instead, but still very tasty! The curries are oily as most indian/pakistani places are, but the meat is very tender and its all very tasty. Oh and btw, the restaurant is BYO for free, so you can save alot on drinks by bringing your own! Also they don't serve alcohol, something to note if you like having a drink with your meal. Pictures and a more detailed review are available here: http://london-insider.co.uk/2009/07/tayyabs-restaurant-whitechapel-east-london/ read more

Fantastic Punjabi food. Their lamb chops are amazing (just hope you don't mind burnt parts in your food). Their curries as also good but I end up going for the lamb chops as a main meal (you can have it as a starter). If you want to drink alcohol bring it with you as this place does not sell it. Don't expect a fancy service or a quiet / romantic dinner though. And come prepared to wait for a long time, even if you booked in advance. Still totally worth it! read more

I came here with a friend based on the various rave reviews including its number one spot on a London curry house chart. Quite easy to get to via the 'ammersmif n city line, the restaurant manages to be enormous and claustrophobic at the same time: it is on three sprawling levels yet the tables are crammed in à la Ryan Air. But don't let the large space fool you into thinking that seating will be a quick affair. We had a reservation and it is a good thing that we did because there was a line of people out of the door and inside, weaving around some of the tables. Fortunately we were not seated at any of those tables because that would have been rather annoying. Instead, we went downstairs into the bowels of Tayyabs where we were wedged in between two couples or maybe we were all at the same table - it was all that tight. We had the lamb chops to start with. This was a big mistake because the couple next to us had some kind of mixed grill thing, which had lamb chops AND other stuff. Fortunately, the lamb chops were delicious but I really wanted the other stuff too... I had the dried meat, which was awesome if unappetizing sounding and my friend had the lamb karahi. We also split a karahi bhindi, which was great. The rice was just OK but the naan bread was excellent. All in all, it was a good thing that we didn't get the couple next door's appetizer because despite arriving ravenous, we left stuffed and our desire for spice fully sated. read more
