Comfort lunch takeaway or just comfort food. One of the best biryanis you can find in London. £6 for lamb. £5 for chicken. Flavours can outmatch the expensive BYOBs near Euston Station. Even south asian colleagues buy their lunch here. I'm fact they were the ones who recommended the place. In an area like Whitechapel saturated with Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi restos it's a big challenge to find the right one. This is the right one. It's definitely not a date place, but the food is good and the price is great.
We stumbled upon this place and had a great experience! Fantastic food. Not everything is pictured but we got the following: lamb kebab, garlic naan, vegetable samosa, meat samosa, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, meat curry, chicken saag. Everything was great, not too spicy at all so if u don’t tolerate spice well anything we ordered should be okay for you! Staff was very friendly. Extremely inexpensive and fast service. More of a cafe type restaurant with only a few tables, but we sat inside and it was clean and comfortable.
I've been dining at this establishment for as long as I can remember, even since I was a child, and I must say the consistent quality of their food has never let me down.
While the restaurant may have a traditional and old-fashioned ambiance, trust me when I say that they put immense effort into crafting their dishes.
Recently, I had the pleasure of trying their samosas and kebab roll in puri, and it was a nostalgic experience that brought back cherished memories.
Without a doubt, this place is the best on New Road, hands down.
Stumbled upon this place by accident, tasty fresh food. This little hidden gem, has some of the most delicious currys. I ordered the meat Karai comes with salad mint sauce and rice.
This restaurant resembles your typical English cafe but with a twist, they authentic Pakistani food.
All this for less than a £10!!!!
Highly highly recommended!!!!!
Living in East London for the last 10 years, this is one of my very favourite places to eat. It has this old East End Pie Shop vibe and feel, like you are going back in time to the 90s. The Menu is simple, the food is simple yet delicious. I usually go for the Chicken Kebab Roll with Dhal, you get served with fresh naan, salad and sauce, the Chicken is hot, juicy and very tasty. The Dhal itself is soo good you could eat it on its own. The menu is priced very affordably especially for this area of, you could have a full meal for less than £10 here. Dont be fooled by the old interior of the shop, they still serve a great meal anytime of day. Cant wait to go back again next time Im there
Over the last six months, I've been eating here every single week, especially after prayer time in East London Masjid, and every time I went in, I had this strange feeling of being in East London before, and one day it just hit me like bang. I remember my dad used to take me there when I was probably like five or six years old, back in the days when East London was totally different. The old shops down Fashion Street, shopping with my dad, and then I remember he used to take me there for a kebab roll, and those memories just came flying back. First and foremost, I always tell my friends and family before I take them there, don't be put off by the appearance. It may look like a cafe out of the 1970s, but honestly the theme is needed. Even the menus, the boards, showing the prices, they look like it was put up there before I was born. But once again, this rustic theme is needed to preserve the traditional look and feel of this place. My favourite go-to dish, as always, is the kebab roll, with that beautiful green mint sauce. This is a place where people don't sit there for a long meal. It's a quick go-in order, the food comes super quick, within minutes you eat, and then you continue on your journey, going to wherever you were going to. The food is very affordable, not like inflated like the other places around the area. A kebab roll is £3.50, and there's plenty of tap water in jugs which are changed regularly. Once again, the place may look outdated, but it is very clean. The two brothers that work there, they have been there since day one. One thing that really brings a smile to my face is the friendship that they have between them, even though they're busy and they're colleagues, they're always quite cheerful with each other and the customers. And they don't have any silly policy of minimum spend by card. If you eat a kebab roll, just pay with card, no problem. I'm a victim of habit, I always stick to what I eat all the time. Whenever I take my younger son there, he loves the chicken curry and rice. He says it reminds him of Dadhi's house, chicken curry. It's a place where I often go and spend time on my own there, just reliving those moments from the past. Amazing.
Good for take away! Super good service, good portions and taste just like home.
Great little find! Spotted it as I was walking past, does not look like the most impressive place, but trust me the food and hospitality are above and beyond. Original flavours, freshly prepared food and real service with a smile. Reasonably priced too!
