Taste of Pakistan Restaurant and Take away

I live in Denmark where we do not have real Pakistani food joints so whenever I come to London, I make sure I visit Taste of Pakistan.The food is exactly how I want it to be, every time. No surprises.The guys serving the food are hospitable and attentive to details.I’ve left the restaurant happy every time I’ve visited.Shout out to Shakir (at the counter) for being so accommodating and customer oriented when I visited TOP last Wednesday.

Super fast service for a group booking. Fish & chapali kebab was super tasty.

Being new to the area I was recommended this place by a work colleague.I have travelled the world and enjoyed Chapli kebab even in the NWFP made by the people whose delicacy this is.I arrived at Taste of Pakistan and after some confusion around me being and Uber / Deliveroo / Just Eat driver ( i was in motorcycle kit carrying a helmet) I was directed to someone to seat me.I was asked if I had a reservation and I said no. At this point he took a sharp intake of breath, shook his head and began to tut. Whilst I appreciate it was fast opening time I have dined at some of the most salubrious establishments London has to offer and I was taken aback by this response. I'm sure if Prince Naz had turned up unannounced or maybe Kier Starmer it wouldn't have been an issue. I promptly fired back that should he be unable to find me a seat i'd happily go back to Khan Karahi (Hounslow West) as they have no problem with the colour of my money.Ironically i was promptly seated at a single table. I believe the tall guy with the beard and shaved head is the gaffer and saw beyond my motorcycle kit and moved a chair next to where I was sat and even began to sweep up besides me. This shows brilliant leadership, loved it.I ordered a chapli kebab, one roti and a can of 7 up. Despite the place being busy the kebab arrived soon enough although looking a little darker than I expected. The roti then followed.There is an old english saying, never judge a book by its cover. The taste and texture of the chapli kebab were amazing. Again there is no need to complicate anything with excessive bits and pieces. The salad was simple and the chutney unnecessary to enable the taste of the kebab to shine through. Gen Z and Millenials will be happy with whatever is put in front of them. The old school Pakistani people know what authentic tastes like and they don't need to TikTok it. This kebab was one of the best i've ever had.Taste of Pakistan has now left me with a major dilemma. The meal was good and having found somewhere nearby that make a chapli kebab to the same level i am now torn between where do I go to enjoy my chapli kebabs in the future.If you want something special and don't want to fly to Afghanistan / Peshawar then this is the place to visit but be aware they don't take card so its cash only or a bank transfer.

You want best Lamb Charsi Karahi, Chapli Kebabs, Lamb Tikka, Kabul Pilao.. just go to Taste of Pakistan. Been visiting this place for years and years and taste has always been the same. Must say they do the best Karahi you can find in UK.Owner is a gentleman, who would come up to you and ask you if everything is nice and would always offer you Kava at the end which is an amazing gesture.The only downside is, this place is always busy so you should book a table well in advance, but understandably though, everyone loves Good food.

It is the tastiest food i had recently. I loved the lamb karahi the taste somehow made me feel nostalgic.

My first visit here,I have never eaten such delicious food anywhere before,definitely I’ll come here againThey staff and owner such a amazing

This restaurant only accepts cash or bank transfer. So bear this in mind when visiting.Visited for the 1st time today, my uncle recommended some food items, so we ordered that, the food was delicious. I can now understand why the restaurant is always busy, the food is just amazing.The staff are nice, but it's very awkward as it's so packed with people they don't have anywhere to stand but in between the tables hovering over you, which I didn't like. The owner was lovely, he came round and said hi to the customers, was very friendly.We didn't have a booking so we were lucky to get seated.The restaurant looks very tired and could probably do with a refurb, more spacious seating and booking only so customers can come relax, chat and enjoy the amazing food.If your not bothered by aesthetic look, then this restaurant is definitely worth a visit for the food.

Hospitable owner who came over and greeted us.The food was tasty. Complementary green tea & almonds at the end.Recommend booking table at weekends.
