Lahore Karahi

Abysmal! The service was terrible but the curry was the worst I have ever tasted in my life!

Three of us went for dinner and we ordered three rotis, one pilau rice, a channa, prawn korma and a mixed vegetable curry.

The rotis were nice but that was all that good about the food! The prawn korma tasted of dishwater... actually no... it tasted of absolutely nothing - it was the blandest thing ever! The channa was ok (edible) though again, it lacked flavour as did the vegetable curry which came with an inch of oil on top...

As I said, we ordered a pilau rice, however, when the server finally gave us the rice and breads (five to ten mins after our curries!) it was the wrong rice, yet he tried to persuade us this was pilau rice... it was plain boiled rice. He finally took it back and gave us the correct rice, after another five minute wait!

Five mins later, it was time to leave so we asked for the bill....bill please! Twenty mins later, still no pill so we just went up to the counter and paid.

Yes it's cheap... but we ended up paying £20 for three rotis, one rice and two curries (the prawn one was inedible!)... I'd rather pay double this and enjoy my meal. The worst thing is that the restaurant was packed... I can only presume they all have no tastebuds!

Avoid at all costs. Terrible in every single way.

One of the worst restaurants in Tooting. Avoid at all costs.

I've been to this restaurant on many occasions and have to say it serves up one one the best curries in London. The chicken/lamb or veg karahi is mouth watering. Try the fish or lamb chops for starters - they are also superb.

I highly recommend this restaurant.
