Lahore Kebab House - Tower Hamlets

This place used to be good, but now is appalling with a dreadfully poor hygiene rating! We will never go back to this place again!

Visited here as a large party. On arrival, the salad was open to the elements, which was concerning as it is December and everyone has an awful cough! Our table wasn’t ready but we watched them get it ready. Cleaning down plates with blue paper towel. Two of us found hairs on the plate and one plate was filthy and unable to be used. The waiter couldn’t have been less interested if he tried. We asked the heating to get turned down but it appeared the radiator knob was missing so I dont believe anything was done, meaning half the table was boiling hot. I didn’t eat, but the food looked good and there didn’t appear to be any complaints other than the peshwari naan didn’t have much coconut in. It it BYOB, but no wine glasses or Prosecco glasses so you will be drinking out of normal glass. The toilets had air con in so they were lovely and cool, but the units were very dusty and the water doesn’t go down the drain the sinks, so the hand dryer blew all the soap bubbles out of the sink. Would I go back, most likely not! But people did seem to be enjoying themselves and the food.

I have been to this place in the past and had not been there for about 3 years , I remember how good the food used to to be, rich in flaver ,portions were good ,so much so that I used to have to bring the rest home. I have longed to go back I wish I hadn't, service is bad ,food not tasteful just oily watery sauce 4peices of chicken and that was for a main till I complained, salad I would not even feed to a rabbit with. watered down dips again no taste to them. Pilau rice was white with what looked to be heated frozen veg in it. Not even a hit of yellow colour. Samosa ordered as a starter came at the very end of the meal had to ask for it 4 times. Nan bread was so thin it cracked. Never have I been so let down ,by a meal that I was so looking forward too after so long. This place has gone to the pits. Will never go again. One good thing the waitress tried her best and did bring some more chicken in the end.

As good as ever. We’ve been coming here for well over 20 years, with some gaps of a year or so. This evening it was absolutely heaving, but service was still pretty good. The food was exceptional, big bold flavours and spicing. Masala fish, lamb chops (some thick, some a little scrawny), chicken and lamb curries, garlic and plain naans, very generous plate of crunchy onion bhaji. All for £53. Fantastic value.

Once an icon for great food has completely lost the plot! Lamb chops ordered twice were uncooked and the first time round literally raw!! Rotis were half baked with edges uncooked…. The Chef like the owner is oblivious to the damage they are causing to not only their deteriorating repute but indifferent to the consequence. Fortunately there are far better restaurants that offer better experience in and around london to the detriment of LKH
