The Lahore Kebab House
Delicious food and cheap, too - I wonder why the Lahore Kebab House was packed when we turned up at 8.45pm last night.
Tucked down a little side street off Commercial Street, the Lahore Kebab House is a hive of activity: a team of cooks preparing a couple of dozen Pakistani dishes, another team of waiters shuttling diners and food to the tables.
It's an efficient operation - we had a 20 minute wait while thirty or so people in the queue before us were seated and our starters seemed to arrive just after we ordered. It was fresh, too - no reheating in microwaves here.
Lamb chops, mixed salad, spiced chicken, cubed lamb, kofta kebabs, roti... I forget everything we ordered. Then the main courses: karahi gosht, tarkha dal, sag aloo, bindi, peshwari naan. There was more, too, but I didn't keep a record. I just chomped happily away.
Fourteen quid a head including tip, plus drinks (which the wonderful Jules and Ana supplied). I spent more on taxis than I did on eating. Not bad considering I live in zone 1.
I think the pictures tell the story better than I can.
Bloody delicious.
