One of the best proper curry houses in London, with authentic flavours in a busy and popular environment. Bring your own booze, or don’t have any, there are soft drink options which accompany the meal nicely. The lamb chops and garlic naan are outstanding, and all the curry dishes are great. Sometimes a little wait if you don’t have a reservation but it’s easy to see why as it’s always packed, across 3 floors. At lunchtime it can be a bit quieter, eg Sunday afternoon. Is a great evening out with a group, the atmosphere is energetic and the food arrives quickly after ordering, and doesn’t disappoint. Fair prices, consistent quality and a fun visit.

A great experience here. The atmosphere is lively, and it was completely packed. I would definitely book in advance - even this doesn’t guarantee you a table, it just pushes you to the front of the queue! The food itself was absolutely delicious - so flavoursome, and so much of it. The meat biryani (the house special on a Friday night) was unreal. The service was attentive and friendly, and the prices were fair, especially for London. I’d highly recommend this restaurant - thank you very much

Tayyabs is one of those London spots people always talk about, and after going, I get why. The Punjabi food is bold, full of spice, and cooked with real character. The lamb chops are the dish everyone raves about for a reason…smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. The karahi curries are rich, hearty, and perfect for sharing around the table. Portions are generous, so you won’t leave hungry. The atmosphere is buzzing and energetic. It’s not a quiet or intimate restaurant, but that’s part of the charm. It feels alive, with big groups, sizzling plates, and constant movement. Seating can be tight, and it does get noisy, so don’t expect a calm dinner. This is more about enjoying the food and the energy of the place. Service is quick, sometimes a little rushed, but that matches the pace of the restaurant. Food usually comes out fast and fresh, which is impressive given how busy it gets. The interior is simple and functional…it’s clear the focus here is all about the food. You might walk out with your clothes carrying the smoky aroma of the grill, but honestly, that’s part of the experience. Overall, Tayyabs is a London institution worth visiting. Go with friends or family, order plenty, and enjoy the flavors.

Had a great experience at Tayyabs. The food was so good: we got the lamb chops, seekh kebab, garlic naan, pilau rice, mango lassi, samosa and karahi chicken tikka masala. Great portions, all cooked and seasoned beautifully. The staff were so friendly and kind, thank you for a memorable meal!
