Lahore Kebab House

I went last Thursday with three mates. - I Love a good Indian curry and this was the first time that I think I'd had a Pakistani curry. - We had several plates of dry meat for starters, which for the most part was really good apart from the T bone steaks that for want of a better expression were pathetic! - but don't let that put you off because I had a chicken jel freezi which was fantastic. - it was really spicey which was obviously how one should be. - my mate ordered an onion bargi and got a whole bowls worth which was a lovely touch and you honestly don't need a portion of rice each - a bowl of rice could easily feed three people. - the spurs match was on too - which of like me you're a Spurs fan means its fantastic! Two big complaints though the service for our starters was very muddled which meant by the time we'd finished them We still hadnt received our poppadoms. Plus the toilets are absolutely disgusting. That said we ordered a lot and the bill only weighed in at £70. Thats a bargin. I will definitely go back.

La hore had been recommended by an Indian friend of mine as well as by boyfriend who was told that all the cricket players come here when in town. I can't tell you how disappointed I was, the place is dirty, the plate I had on my table had a stain on it of dried food, the popadoums also had curry stains on them. The mango chutney was watered down so I just left it, the lamb cops were though and the rest was greasy and salty and not cheap at all when they don't even change your plates. The curry is served in what resembles a dogs dish, the waiters look like they need a good wash and their hair washing, one sneezed in to his arm when serving the people next to me. Never again

I've been eating here for years and bring all my mates who visit me from Liverpool. They love it as much as I do and it's never let me down

The Lahore Kebab House is no ordinary kebab house. It's huge and I've never had a problem getting a seat straight away (usually a queue at Tayyabs). It has fantastic atmosphere, the best in East London. It's got a glass fronted open kitchen, and I could watch the goings on in there for hours, especially the guys making the naan breads. The service is quick and the food is tasty, but not the best curry I've had. Reasonably priced, and a bring your own alcohol. I'm a regular and have never been disappointed. Great with a few friends or a big group

Dear all I must have gone to this place after a log time so here goes: Hospitality/Manners: Quite good and was greeted and treated well upon arrival. Food content: hmm ok not that great as I expected. For e.g. A portion for example Chi biryani or curry was rather small especially the biryani as they hardly put any chicken in there and had to ask for more pieces in which they did not refuse. The curry was nothing special but could have been better in quantity and taste so quite poor. Paneer Curry: the overall taste was not that great and felt like the paneer itself was not fresh there is room for improvement. Overall the bill was not that high but for what I had paid the food and service could do with improvement but I do appreciate that the atmosphere is very busy. So will just give the restaurant 2.5 stars

So I had heard the big debate between Tayyabs and LKH having been a firm lover of Tayyabs food, we thought we would go and check out LKH. I had read how LKH had a stripped back atmosphere, bigger tables , no queues and you didn't feel like canned tuna, which sure enough I agreed with. But despite all this, what it boils down to is a question of how good the food is? The answer is that it was extremely disappointing, so I shall justify why. The lamb chops lauded as pretty amazing were thin, lacking in heat but most importantly, lacking in flavour! At over £8 also ridiculously overpriced! The butter chicken which I only tried due to the rave reviews were instead dry, lacking in flavour, oily and lacked butteriness (go figure). The lamb jalfrezi also lacked any flavour and was dry and overcooked. The most flavour we tasted was the coriander that had been added at the end. All the food delivered had become separated with the oil oozing out on each dish. The Pakistani flavours full of richness and spices, deeply ingrained into slow cooked food with love and attention had clearly cracked it, packed up and gone back to Pakistan.The most redeeming quality LKH had was that the tandoori paratha was delicious, so I had two of these but that was the best part of the meal. The hotplates aren't hot whatsover so it defies the point of bringing them on the metal rings. At £30 for 3 dishes, 2 paratha and 1 lassi it is considerably more expensive than Tayyabs for a dirtier (I didn't want to bang on about the hygiene) dining experience. So if the price for a cheaper, cleaner, tastier and more orgasmically satisfying dining experience is to queue for half an hour and feel like canned tuna, then pack your fishing hook cos I'm a tuna!

Terrible experience. Was very hungry and went to this restaurant. Very bad food - Very bad customer service (While waiting for change £0.85p the customer service guy asked do you want the change and i left the place) I always keeps tips if i am happy with the service. You dont ask for it. Bloody expensive as well. Chicken biriyani cost £8.10. Out of my own personal experience do not go there. You will regret it if you visit. I never comment on any of these review site. but after disappointment i am doing it for the first time.

CHECK YOUR BILL! Every time we go here they seem to overcharge for naans rice etc. Apart from that not bad, mains possibly on the salty side. Can't beat the starters though.

Absolutely fantastic Have been going with family and friends and we all love the food -especially the kebabs! The staff are consistently helpful and will accomodate any food requests No need to look anywhere else, clean, bright, cater for couples, family, and friends Wonderful atmosphere, price is just right, only request - HOT DRINKS LOL

After lots of people recommending us this place, we finally went yesterday with 2 couples of friends and our experience was really bad. We got a table in the second floor, and it was stressing and disturbing. The ambiance is terribly cold and beyond noisy. The food is ok, nothing special though, it didn't taste or look special. I guess our first impression it was a lack of hygiene. All glasses on the table were dirty and the jar of the mango lassi had still a label on (which means, they didn't even wash the jar before using it!). The order was wrong and we got charged wrongly as well. When we were finishing our meal, our table neighbours left: it was the end, we were practically in hell. A waiter was throwing plates and cutlery, making food left overs fall all over the place and so noisy that we only wanted to get the bill and leave. This guy leaved both tables next to us in such a messy state, with food everywhere. It was really disgusting specially if you are still eating. I am normally quite open and an easygoing person. But the experience at Lahore was not only bad but very unpleasant. Therefore I wont recommend anyone to go there.
