Halal Reviews for Lahore Karahi Tooting

We made a reservation to visit Lajo de Karahi, and I’m glad we did because the place was full when we arrived. The atmosphere was lively and authentic. This was my first time trying Pakistani food, and I was invited by my daughter, who told me it was one of her favorite restaurants — and now I completely understand why. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish had rich, fresh flavors and felt perfectly homemade. Another great detail is that you can bring your own alcoholic drinks, which makes the experience even better. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was quick and friendly, and everything we ordered was worth it. Definitely a place I would return to. If you’re in London and want to try authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine, Lajo de Karahi is a must-visit.

5/5 stars! Had an amazing experience at Lahore Karahi! The Chicken Jalfrezi was incredibly tangy and spicy, just perfect for those who love a kick. The Chana chickpea bhuna was richly spiced with a great aroma also the meat biyarani. The Chicken Tikka was tender and full of flavor. Fresh salad, cold drinks, and freshly made naan complemented the meal perfectly. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend this spot for authentic and delicious Pakistani cuisine!

So I want to start by saying it is not awful, it hits the basics well enough. My concern was the portion size of the medium mixed grill and the price point. I found it a little small for £21 and the cost is on the high side. You basically get two seekh kebabs, two chops, two wings with ZERO lamb shish at all and a two chicken tikka. I had to pay £150 extra for a dry snap nan that was not cooked in atandoor but on a pan. My whole meal was about £25. I think that is pricey. The taste was average. Slightly overcooked if I'm honest. But it was okay.I was there on a Friday afternoon so my first choice restaurant was impossible to get into. So it will not be a complete list down. It filled a hole.

Was really excited to try as heard good things but... Waited 1.5 hours for food to arrive (and only live 5 min drive away.) The dishes we ordered look nothing like the pictures on uber eats. The naan's were soggy, cold and undercooked with the garlic naan having no flavour. The Keema Karahi was very dry (no wonder they're advertising buy one get one free) and the Saag Aloo looked scarily like cow pat, again no sauce and only 3 potatoes. I'm really dissapointed as I I paid £35 for all of this, including a Tarka Daal which was too spicy to eat :( To top it off all the food was cold and was shocked by this as I live so close. Maybe it is better to eat in but will definitely not be eating here again.

GENUINE REVIEW: I had come here this evening with my partner for dinner, we were served by a gentleman who was seeing everyone queuing up. We were seated quite quickly, and ordered food not long after… FOOD: We ordered 1 pair of vegetable samosas, mushroom and onion rice, chicken saag, chicken tikka masala and 2 plain rice. Vegetable samosas - came out quick enough but both were loop warm to cold. Chicken saag - the chicken saag texture was really thick and had absolutely no taste to eat, also was very salty. Chicken tikka masala - chicken pieces were soft, but the sauce was runny, had no taste of either cream or tomato. This was a runny texture and tasted like a gravy that came out of a bisto sachet! Mushroom and onion rice, the rice lacked flavour, the onions were boiled not panned of fried, the mushrooms seemed like they were out a tin and not fresh at all. Naan bread - the breads looked fine but again had absolutely no taste to how a plain naan should taste like, they had a crisp and fluffy texture but not the best I’ve had. Condiments sauces - the mint yogurt sauce lacked taste and not enough sugar to give the sauce it’s natural flavour The mango chutney, was good and had chunks, chilli sauce was also good and had flavour. SERVICE: The service for me was not above par, a polite woman took our order after asking her questions about the dishes we ordered but seems to lack the knowledge of the menu. We had also asked 3 times for water before we was given any, plates we left empty after our starter although asked if they could be taken to provide more serving space. At the end I had asked for the bill and was not given one just the manager coming up with the card machine and quoting me £38. I didn’t bother to ask as at this point I wanted to just leave! One of the waiters was cleaning out table before leaving who acknowledged us and asked about the food which I didn’t hold back and said it was appalling, he asked why and I had told him which he obviously felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say not even a sorry…. I won’t be coming back here at all and o do not recommend such a place! I even gave my salaam on arrival to the manager who obviously didn’t want to acknowledge me at all… I would unfortunately avoid coming here as there are many places on the high street to eat better quality food at the same price or even less.
