Spice of Lahore

Thoroughly enjoyable first visit. Clean, bright and welcoming environment, plenty of seating. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. I completely over-ordered for 1 person but I wanted to try as much as I could. I got a portion of lamb seekh kebabs (4), a chicken curry from the weekly menu, a Kabuli rice and a garlic naan. I think things got lost in translation when ordering the rice, I was after pilau, and the staff member pointed at this amazing looking rice and said the name I didn't quite catch and I said "go for it", love trying new things. Turns out Kabuli is a rice dish made using caramelised carrot, lamb and raisins. It was absolutely delicious, though I looked a bit ridiculous with the amount of food I had. The lamb kebabs were superb, and actually a lot spicier than many I've had and it really worked because of it, they had a real kick. Plenty of flavour and nice aromatics in them too with a nice charred / smokey taste. The chicken curry was just what I was after - nothing too complex, just a hearty and flavoursome authentic chicken curry, would highly recommend. The chicken was soft, there was just enough sauce, and it had just the right level of flavoursome oil to mop up with the naan. The naan was a highlight, both soft and crispy, with a nice garlic flavour and finished with fresh coriander leaves. Came to £27 for one person but could have easily fed 2-3 and half of it has come home with me. 10/10 and I'll be back for more.
