    Beware the hype
    Current
    Having read numerous reviews of the Lahore Kebab House I was keen to try it myself.

    Three of us visit on a Wednesday night. The place is huge and as others have said fairly basic. It reminded me of a (good) works restaurant.

    There was a lot of staff and overall the service was good.

    Our views on the food were mixed:

    Poppadoms – slightly overcooked and the mango sauce and mint sauce were very thin and tasteless.

    The mixed platter starter – chicken tikka, lamb tikka, sheek kebab and lamb chops was excellent especially the chops and bread. Their reputation is well deserved.

    Main courses include:

    Fish curry – good, but not outstanding

    A ‘special’ based on a lamb shank. This looked fatty and the sauce watery and unappetising.

    Chicken dhal – Very good, plentiful and good quality chicken and full of flavour

    Rice dishes were good and very generous. Nann breads were small, thin and not the best at all.

    Whilst reasonable it was not cheap when you think that there was no drinks on the bill (it’s a BYO).

    Am I pleased I went? – Yes

    Would I go again? – No

    Would I recommend it to others? I would suggest that it is a worthwhile experience, but be aware of the hype. As I said the place was packed so there must be many other that think otherwise.

    Probably the best 'Indian'

    The best 'Indian', well Pakistani, food place in London: Grilled meats, fish and non-meat dishes. Simple, fast and good. Becoming well known so may not be so good for that long?

    Thumbs up apart from...

    Great food find apart from a slight hitch - The bill came up to 10 pounds more than it actually should have been. We went with a friend who had been there before and was familiar with the prices so she picked it up. So I would say just remember to cast a closer look the next time..No complaints otherwise!

    Fresh and fabulous food

    I discovered this place as a student and have been going here every so often over the past 10 years. The place has been transformed in that time, for a start it's so much bigger. The one thing that has remained the same is the great tasting food.

    If you love Pakistani/Indian food, you'll love Lahore's. I may be the first person reviewing this, but the place is a big hit already.

    On Fridays and the weekend, make sure you come in time otherwise you may have to wait for a table. I'd say 7pm would be just perfect.

    Lahore's don't sell Alcohol, but they allow you to bring your own, there is an off-licence nearby.

    I love Lahore's, I'm sure you will too.
