Fantastic pakistani food at superb prices
Fantastic pakistani and punjabi food: lamb chops, masala fish, karahi chicken, dry meat (yes! but it’s good), dal, there’s something for everyone here. There's also daily specials, on a Tuesday I had the quail, and it cost all of £6. Fabulous mango lassis.
Be prepared to queue every day of the week, if you’re clever you can book the day before. Ridiculously cheap - starters £4.50 (that’s for 4 lamb chops or 3 pieces of masala fish) and mains on average £6 for small. Trust me, that’s all you need! Does it get better? Yes! It’s BYO and there’s no corkage.
What are you waiting for? Get down there!

Tired of being hassled on Brick lane?
If you find yourself near brick lane, then keep walking another few blocks. You’ll find yourself at the doorstep of Tayyabs. It’s a tasty Indian restaurant; oh for our Muslim friends Tayabs is also halal.
Make reservations! I made a reservation and was shuttled passed the 20+ person queue... I was aghast by how packed this place was. Normally when you see a place this packed it’s only full of tourists, it was reassuring to see loads of Indian people filling up on the food.
As the other reviews state, the service is ridiculously fast... they food is inexpensive so they need to make it up in turn over. You’ll be rushed, but don’t take it personally their just trying to get in as much business as possible.
The lamb chops for a started are pretty good. They came out suspiciously fast though, like they’ve got dozen’s already on the grill. , The Chicken Tikka was dry... order the seek kebab really hard to mess those up. Skip the Mango Lassi, it’s tasted more like sherbert lassi...
The place is packed and it’s loud. You’re not going to be able to hold a substantive conversation as the place is roaring. You’re also packed in pretty tight, but then again you’re there to enjoy the eats right?

ridiculous value, and great food!
This place is pretty unique. Although off the beaten track, they were queuing out the door on a Monday evening. We had made a reservation and, although we were 45 minutes early, were ushered immediately to a table, skipping the queue. Excellent service.
The service is almost impossibly fast - you probably don't come here for a long night out. It's speedy service, and they will want your table for the next customer.
The food is fantastic, and ridiculously cheap - partly due to the BYO policy. Highly recommended are the Seekh Kebabs as a starter, at just 70p each!
A meal for 3, which we didn't get close to finishing because there was so much, scraped £23.
Highly recommended!

Cracking food so make sure you book!
We took my parents here a few months back. They have been to Brick Lane quick a few times and were a bit nervous about trying somewhere slightly away from familiar curry territory, even though it was on the recommendation of a trusted friend. To be honest, I was a bit nervous too, but I hate getting dragged into curry houses against my will as is the case on Brick Lane (I'm weak) and wanted to try somewhere new!
It was a bit cramped and very busy, although there appeared to be a few large groups in. Luckily we had booked and were immediately seated. I was jammed in against the wall and an awkward bit of alcove, but seeing how busy it was I was just pleased that we'd been able to make a booking! Any other BYO place I've been to keeps your drinks in the fridge but we had to keep our BYO wines under the table. The waiters seemed too busy to take them off our hands but we didn't like to pester them about it. Thankfully we had got cold ones.
The menu was varied and there were a couple of things that seemed unfamiliar. We picked plenty of starters and main courses so that we could try a bit of everything. Most dishes were slightly hotter than we expected but that's authenticity for you. None of us are particularly sensitive about heat but be careful what you order if you normally struggle with a korma! The quality was great and we were stuffed to the eyeballs. And taking into account that there were no drink charges (other than a small corkage fee) it was really quite a bargain.
My parents, who like to cook their own Indian food at home, were most impressed. As were we. This is now certainly my first choice restaurant over places in Brick Lane. I can't wait to go back and try out some of the other dishes.
By the way...remember I said it was busy? Well our table was booked for 7.30pm. By the time we left at about 9.30pm, there was a queue snaking through the restaurant and out into the street. Some of this could have been for takeaway food, I'm not sure. Either way this is clearly a very popular place.

Good cheap food
The food is very very good and quick. The service is good too - only problem is that it can get extremely busy and you often have to queue inside the restaurant.
Don't be put off though, we've never had to wait for more than 10/15mins and it's worth the wait.
Another bonus is that it's bring your own booze, which keeps the cost down...
