Halwa Poori House — Restaurant in London

Great place to relish Halwa poori and Karachi style breakfast The owner here is a warm persona and greets with a smile Makes it a point to ask if the food tasted great Yes it delicious The staff are polite and dutiful too Breakfast time ❤☺️

Poori is undoubtedly my favorite breakfast😍

And u can see me gorging upon poori bhaji, poori chole and halwa any time of the day.

Halwa Poori chole is a famous breakfast combo which is so filling and nothing can be packed with nutrients in the morning than this breakfast.

Halwa Poori Chole combination is quite a popular one and is linked with a ritual in INDIA – Kanjak!

Kanjak is celebrated either on the eighth or ninth day of Navratri

Kanjak used to be, and to a certain extent still is, one of many favorite festivals.

Kids wake up to the sweet smel of hot halwa and fluffy pooris along with dry masala chanaa made in many households

Today – tried to explore yet another place in London – famous for its Karachi fare and they USP is Halwa poori chole. Decided to relish this sinful combo and without a doubt it is delicious.

The best part about Halwa poori combo – Suji halwa is just done right not too sweet has a dash of ghee and then the chickpeas (kabuli chanaa) curry is mild on spice quo but is melt in mouth one. The aloo sabzi is an added plus.

Halwa Poori House – London offers various delicacies like – Halwapoori combos, irani chai, Kunna paya, lamb nihari and Haleem.

After reading promising reviews, we ventured to 'Halwa Poori,' despite its considerable distance from our home. Arriving around noon on a Thursday, we were greeted by a dull ambiance and not so appealing decor. However, we were solely focused on the food experience. Starting with Halwa puri, it was very good, flaky yet not greasy, halwa was perfect for the puri, not too sweet. Chanay were okay. Moving on to the Biryani, I found it delightful, although my husband found the meat slightly dry. And the portion was a bit too small. We then had Nihari which was no doubt one of the best Restraunt Nehari we had ever tried. Butter naan was good too. I ordered 2 half fried eggs with Paratha which the children devoured, though the Paratha could have been thinner for our liking.

We had to remind them again to bring drinks. Achaar and condiments was brought after we had finished Halwa Puri.

We also ordered Chai and Naan Kebab roll which never arrived even after finishing the food so we tried to cancel it but I noticed when paying, the Naan roll was just sitting near the till and it was packed for take away (strange). Overall, as I said the ambiance wasn't appealing, the service was too slow but food was very good. Prices are good too.

Will we go there again? Errmm.. No, just because it's too far. Had the service been better and the Server was a bit more welcoming, then...

This was perhaps the most interesting experience I have had in London in any restaurant. The atmosphere would seem odd to many in the UK but it's eclectic look, the neon lights and the pictures of monuments from Pakistan and India make it very homely and unassumingly inviting, especially to someone of a South Asian disposition.

The Halwa Poori of the Halwa Poori House was fantastic. Soft pooris with a delicious Halwa and properly cooked chickpeas and potato curry. After a long struggle I have found a place where they do Halwa Poori as it's supposed to be.

The highlight of my experience was the Nihari. This Karachi style Nihari was similar to the Delhi Nihari. Light on spices but strongly flavored. The lamb shank that is an almost essential accompaniment to a Nihari in London was soft, fatty and literally falling off the bone.

The personal touch in the service made it feel like an experience out of a small that could exist anywhere, from the lanes of Karachi to the bustle of Hyderabad in India.

The decoration might be dated but the restaurant has a lot to offer when it comes to food and service.

Will visit again despite the nearly 2 hour journey it would take me...
