We got the dry meat and it was a good portion, nothing exceptional per se. The naan had pools of ghee on it which I don't think was necessary. The menus are sticky and the bathrooms are pretty dirty.

I have pretty mixed feelings if I'm being honest, but overall I had a nice time. We were able to be…read moreseated immediately. The restaurant is pretty cramped and noisy. We could barely hear each other talk over the chatter around us. With that said, it did feel like everyone in there was almost a family. It did not have any stodginess nor formality to it. Wish it were a bit quieter, but overall I liked the vibe. The ordering system... chaos. Our server came over and we started asking for dishes. At one point he randomly walked off and we were like "uhhh what". Then he came back and continued taking our order. What arrived at our table was a combination of things we ordered and things we definitely did not order, with some things we ordered missing altogether. The food: good. I loved the saag paneer and the daal. The lamb chops and chicken tikka masala weren't as good as Tayyabs, the chicken being notably worse. Price point was about the same. Our total was only £20 pp though, so definitely felt like the food was a good value. Between 3 and 4 stars at this point, so the deciding factor for me is the fact that neither stall in the women's toilets locked. Overall, Tayyabs and Lahore are, on paper, very similar restaurants, and Tayyabs (in my opinion) is the clear winner.

I have heard a few people describe this place as the best Indian restaurant in Brighton. Whilst I…read moredon't think I've eaten in enough to warrant corroborating that statement, I can say I ate here recently and it was pretty damn good! What I particularly like about Shahi Tandoori is that it is split into two quite separate spaces, one side is the restaurant and one is the takeaway. This is genius! There's nothing more annoying than people wandering through while you're eating to pick up their order, letting a draft in and spoiling the ambiance of the restaurant. Well Shahi has it covered. Food-wise, the side dishes are all great...I particularly like the Bombay Aloo, the Sag Paneer and the Onion Bhajis- delicious! I can also recommend the Vegetable Balti and Chicken Tikka Masala. Since this place is just around the corner, we often pop down to pick up a few side dishes to go with a home-cooked curry and they never look at us funny, despite our paltry order! I like them.

You can never have enough good quality Indian restaurants (so says I), without doubt Shahi Tandoori…read moredeserves to be added to that category. It's located in an odd place at the bottom of Ditchling Rise, because of the location you might never have come this way, I really would recommend it though. 'Shahi' is a little bit cheaper then the more central Indian restaurants (and take aways, they do both). The food is also of a very good quality; I had the rogan josh and passanda, both of which I could eat 7 days a week. The area isn't the nicest, the decor is a little dated, but it's a fantastic place filled with Indian charm (and food).

Tucked away on a not particluarly happening street in Shad Thames at Butlers Wharf I have to say…read moreit was awesome to finally find a place that does a real tandoori roti in London and curries that though not as low fat and good as my dad's are the best I've had in this country so far. The koftas deserved a 10/10 for flavour, smooth melt in the mouth - ness and freshness and the service was friendly and quick. Even though the presentation isn't fine dining style fancy the authentic rich flavours and mouthwatering menu selection certainly make it worth a meal or two. The waiters speeding in and out of the pantry at somewhat dizzying speeds may not be polished to the toe but they're polite and always eager to make sure you're served quickly and kindly and your palate is pleasantly satiated till you next visit.

I love Pakistani food, and so am quite picky about the places I eat, and I love this restaurant…read more Considerably cheaper than a lot of competitors they cook their food in a glass encased kitchen so that customers can see just what is going on. They have a large selection of foods on their menu, from the mild to insanely spicy. Their kebabs are also fantastic, as is their naan. If you're in need of mild go for the korma dishes, the others tend to get progressively spicy. Service is quick and friendly. Unfortunately they don't do deliveries, so you have to pick up in a neighborhood that isn't all that conducive to driving. They do cater for large parties and have a rather large eat in section. There are also special deals for those who eat in.

The food is always fresh - in fact you can watch them cook it if you so desire - and the naan bread is absolutely fantastic (always the acid test of a good Asian restaurant, I think).

The chicken charsi karahi is okay at best but you can't have all you want. I haven't dine in inside so I have no idea about the ambiance but the food is great so I will eat it under a bridge if I have to. 4.1/5 definitely recommend!

They have done an impressive job on the remodel updating it with a bright and clean interior tastefully decorated and well equipped. Two large screen TV's play Bollywood music videos and sporting events. When you enter there is a small kebab shop and takeaway, and you enter through the second set of doors to the dining room. The food is amazing! A dazzling array of choices and some special items. We ordered Karahi Fish, Karahi Methi Gosht, Tarka Daal and a whole tandoori chicken. This was more than enough food for four and we were all very happy to try so many tasty items. First the fish was perfectly prepared and delicately spiced. It had a great texture and wasn't "swimming" in sauce. The lamb curry was ordered spicy and the chef actually came to ask us how spicy we actually wanted it, so we explained EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA hot.. he laughed and asked if we were sure and we said we were. He delivered! It was a spicy inferno without being overpowering. The daal was very nice but the highlight was the Tandoori chicken.. it was the most flavorful one we had tried in a long time and came out perfectly moist and juicy and oozing with flavour, and at 7 quid it was quite a deal as well. We also noted on the menu the chefs special.. a WHOLE LEG OF LAMB! We vowed a night of hedonism and drinking accompanied by a lamb feast. We followed through the following week and we were rewarded for our determination with a stunning piece of culinary magic. The leg of lamb was so tender and flavourful that we decided to make it a monthly ritual.. but be forewarned you have to order it 24 hours in advance.. so think ahead! The Lahore Masala House is a welcome addition to the Kentish Town landscape.. they have great lunch deals and they also stay up late for those leaving the locals or the Forum.

I was visiting my brother in Oxford and we decided to come here for a family dinner. I'm used to American portions and seating so by comparison to American standards- the portions are rather small and the seating inside is pretty small- but nonetheless it's still a good place to come for dinner. We had a few different items that we all wanted to try, butter chicken, chicken tikka, both plain and garlic naan and some appetizers. The waiter tried helping us with our order to make it what we were expecting and asked about our spice tolerance as well. This was my first time trying 'poppadum' which was a fun appetizer, I highly suggest trying it if you haven't had it before. The food didn't take too long to come and the flavors were spot on!

Amazing! What a treat. Totally unassuming from the outside, and infact, inside too. What really…read moresets this place apart from the curry house pack is the food. They have a proper ethos - "We cannot afford to be expensive, but we can afford to be the best!" and it seems that all the food done here (with no addititives or pre-prepared sauces) is expertly cooked and spiced. Lahore One attracts a rolling clientele of hungry suited city workers and the local Indian population alike, which is great to see. Everyone's seated at simple wooden tables and benches. The manager (Jim I think) is absolutely charming and I was told by two diners that the kebab rolls are "the best in the East End". We had a really fine selection of curries, I tried only the vegetarian options, and they were as good as I've ever had. Found it really beautiful approach to food and serving. Basically if you're a fan of curry, this is probably one of the best places in London. Say no more. If you're not a fan of curry, come here to see what all the fuss is about. It's open throughout the week between 12 am and 12 pm and I think it's a good idea to book or get there early if you're going in the evening. Can't sell this place highly enough...

Apart from the obvious cost benefit, this also means that they serve the most delicious salti lassi - in jugs, I'd happily drink one all by myself!
