I cannot express how disapointed we were with this place. Having dined at Tayyabs previously we were excited to try some similarly delicious Pakistani cuisine. From the moment we arrived the experience was unpleasent. Having a 3-quid bottle of water thrust upon us within seconds of sitting down was just the starter. We asked to replace this with tap water which was done but not without a glare of disapproval. Our server was the rudest waiter we've ever come across. We asked for some guidance on the menu (no desciptions of dishes are provided) and he barked some sort of response back which didn't resemble English and slammed the menu down on the table. In the end we went for the Karahi chicken and a mixed veg curry. Within about 2 minutes the food arrived with no words or eye contact made from our server. The veg curry was without doubt the WORST curry dish I have ever tasted. Caulifower, carrots and whatever else was in it (couldn't identify it) cooked to buggery in a few drops of a watery 'sauce'. The karahi chicken sauce had great flavour but was lathered in oil. Pilau rice was watery and had zero flavour. Garlic nan bread was thick doughy and had burnt garlic leaving a nasty bitter flavour on the palate. Without doubt the worst meal I have had in a supposed restaurant. The bill was given to us, again without a word spoken or eye contact made.

The worst part is that he was friendly to the guy sat on the next table.

I love this restaurant, the best asian restaurant in LONDON, the food is mouth wateringly gorgeous, the atmosphere is beautiful, i definatly recommend this place for any occasions.

The last trip was my treat and my friends were over the moon.

Prepare for the best food service in london.

Go there you won't be dissapointed.

I had dinner here last night. Amazing lamb chops and lamb, chicken Karahi. The canteen atmosphere is very much about fast food but tasty food. Definately come here if you want a good meal with speed and good prices.

For those of you who want to linger with your glasses of wine - this is not the place for you - stick to Brick Lane and get ripped off!

I would recommend for large parties only if you are keen on spending time with your friends instead of worrying about the look of the place and the sorts of customers.

been going to this restaurant for last one year. first time when i was there, i asked about the bottle of mineral water which they put on table with the plate of salad and yogurt sauce, is it free? and obviously no restaurant will give bottle of mineral water free. staff said bottle of mineral water is charged 2.50 and salad n sauce is free so i asked for tap water and enjoyed free salad. when i asked for beer they said you have to bring your own. food was fabulous since then i'm regular customer and enjoy the excellent food there. i love this place.

As a dyed in the wool curryholic I was cynical about how good the food here would be. I am delighted to say that all the good reviews I read have been pretty spot on.

I've been waiting for years to find the curry that gave me the kick that my very first curry gave me and I found it here. It took me back 30 years. The spices and succulent meat make my mouth water just thinking about it. Superb food, excellent attentive and quick service

There is not doubt I'll be going back and I'll be taking my friends with me. It's just a pity I live so far away and can't get there as often as I would like.

I have been going to this restaurant since 1990, and I have seen it grow beyond recognition. However the food served has always remained consistantly excellent. It is the best Indian restaurant in London as far as I am concerned.

Brilliant.

We went here after queueing at Tayyabs for 40 mins and giving up. What a disappointment! We were seated and a bottle of mineral water was placed on the table along with the menus. What a sharp practise! We did not order it but it was on the bill at £2.50 as we had drunk it as we were not allowed to drink our beers.

The lamb chops were good, the saag aloo was nothing more than some pleasantly spiced (tinned?) spinach with a couple of lumps of boiled potato, the Wednesday special was chickpeas and chicken which was served lukewarm and tasted old. I was also disappointed with the stale puppadoms and the undercooked doughy, industrial naan which we complained about with replacements grudgingly brought out.. Bleeeuugh! The breads were taken off the bill with a bit of an argument which spoiled the evening.

The dining space is huge, loud with lots of hard surfaces. It's also very, very bright so not a place to linger and relax. In and out please....

It's cheap. Go for the lamb chops but don't expect what their reputation promises.

Apparently this place comes highly recommended. I can't see why. When we arrived there was a queue in the doorway and none of the staff appeared to know where people were meant to sit. If you're expecting this place to be of the quality of restaurants in Brick Lane you'll be very disappointed. The upstairs part of the 'restaurant' is baffling. Despite it being one of the biggest areas i've ever seen in a restaurant it has the look and feel of a canteen! There must have been about 100+ people packed in. Due to this fact, it's incredibly noisy which makes conversation quite difficult. The crowd are not the smartest bunch of people and I wouldn't be surprised if this place has had to deal with it's fair share of fights in the past. The only plus point is that the food is actually quite decent. Won't be rushing back here in a hurry (if at all) and considering Brick Lane is not far away I can't understand why people would choose to come here.
