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.

We went here to try after positive comments from a friend. We made reservation. When we arrived we waited outside as it was busy( good sign) Then after 10/15 minutes we were let in. Unfortunately I didn’t feel We were entering a restaurant. Yes there are tables and chairs but absolutely no design. Nothing. Just 2 grey rooms . No money spent on interior design. So that was disappointing it didn’t feel like we entered a restaurant. We still gave the food a chance . After the ordered the brought the salad first. Again the plate of salad was not interesting. Just plain bachelor style salad. Disappointed. We ordered fish masala. We have eaten this before somewhere else. There it was pieces of spicy fish with vegetables. Unfortunately when it arrived it was just a cod fish . No vegetables nothing. So this was Not what we expected . Then we also ordered daal as that was quite expensive. We have eaten daal before in south all several times and always tasty. When the daal arrived the colour was not pleasant and the texture was slimy. Oh my god so disappointed. We didn’t take the chance to eat more of that before we get food poisoned. We also ordered a medium mix grill. We have always ordered mix grill everywhere and it’s quite big what you get good for a family . When it arrived it was just a small plate for £21.99! The kids ordered beef burger and chips and wings. That was fine. Also we ordered a large bottle of Pepsi . £3.50 I’m sorry there was absolutely no fizz in that drink!! It was a non original bottle probably they got cheaper but absolutely no fizz! Disappointing But are we coming back?? Absolutely not . The money we spent we would rather spend in southall where you get better large portions food for same Money. And it actually feels like a restaurant not 2 rooms rented full Of chair and tables. . Here we left hungry. Remember difficult to find parking here . See pictures

With its delectable cuisine and impeccable service, it's sure to exceed your expectations. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. We, a party of 5 adults and 3 kids, were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful touches throughout our visit. Not only were we promptly seated at our pre-booked table for 8, but the restaurant also graciously provided complimentary fries for the kids as a starter, which kept them happily occupied while we perused the menu. Additionally, as a delightful end to our meal, we were treated to Peshawari tea, a perfect finishing touch for the adults. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was the personal touch of the owner himself. He approached our table, cheerful and engaging, and checked in with us multiple times to assure that everything was to our satisfaction. His genuine care and attention to detail added an extra layer of warmth to our dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food - it's nothing short of extraordinary.

It was our first visit to this restaurant for my family of 5. Came for a birthday celebration. We were lucky to be given a table within 3 mins without a reservation as I think they had a cancellation or no show. The staff are very attentive and always look out to see if you need anything. One staff member, Nasser who served us was very friendly and informative. I believe he could possibly be the owner. The menu is not packed with many dishes, but have all the staple items and are listed clearly with pricing. We went onto order Charsi lamb Karahi, mixed grill, kabli pilau and chips for my 10 yr old to have with the meal. I would like to say they give 2 free fresh house salads depending on the size of your group. The food is tasty, fresh and tender. We found the medium spice level slightly spicy compared to other places and what we are used to. Overall the portion sizes are generous and with the curries they have 3 sizes which are priced accordingly. The kabli pilau had a meaty piece of lamb shank which cooked to perfection. We were offered green tea and sweet almonds at the end of the meal which was a nice touch and Nasser gave it to us complimentary. I liked the fact that at point of payment I was told to examine the bill before paying and make sure I was happy. Go there at least once and experience this restaurant with unique dishes and flavours. One last observation, they say they are a Pakistani cuisine restaurant, but I would say they offer dishes more specifically from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan

We took our friends for dinner here who had come from Ireland. We wanted them to have the best food so we did our research and got the table booked. Eventhough we booked we still had to wait for 20 mins which was Ok because we talked while we waited.. Food came hot, hot and fresh. We ordered lamb charsi karhai, chicken charsi karhai, afghani pulao and chapli kabab. The food was awesome. This is the best karhai we've had in London so far but lamb karhai was way better than the chicken one. The chapli kababs were lit. The bad part about it was the ambience. We were literally crammed into a small table infront of the counter.. 4 people and a baby .. it was so so loud we had to scream our lungs out to talk and hear what the other person was saying.. people kept piling up behind us as it was the counter for billing and food and it wasn't a good place to be seated with all the food smoke and yelling. It was mad chaos. We asked for a better table but it was all full and also they were offering small tables to small families in the first room, the other better and quieter room is for big families .. anyway. The food was amazing, service is quick but the seating arrangement is not comfortable. It's not a place to have a quiet meal and chat and talk. It's like come, sit, eat and go.. hope they expand or don't cram in so many tables. Reduce the tables and make space in between even if people have to wait..

From the joyriders of Brighton Asalamalakum brothers adding a an additional review, we the Brighton boys (joyriders) visited Taste of Pakistan today (13/04/24) , proper banging food, service brilliant, we had an assortment of dishes, all cooked to perfection. We also had a good conversation with the owner who is a really noble gentlemen , there is not a restaurant in london or in the entire south east which can beat this fine establishment. Team TOP you are the best. old review: Ive attended Taste of Pakistan numerous times, with family and with friends we come all the way from Brighton just to enjoy the delicious food at Taste of Pakistan. This restaurant is a gem and it stands out from many other restaurants due to its consistency the food is always the same excellent quality and taste. The owner of the restaurant is a respectable humble gentlemen who when present in the restaurant always takes the time to ask diners how is there food. No other authentic pakistani restaurant beats taste of Pakistan hands down.
