Its a well loved restaurant, serving authentic Punjabi Pakistani cuisine, about ten minutes walk away from Brick Lane you have, to BYOB, its an amazing feed for about £12 and their lamb chops are justifiably famous. Well that could refer to a few places depending on who you are - Tayyabs or The Lahore Kebab House being the most famous. Since they are so close together and there is a debate surrounding them as to which is better I thought I should wade in. (A third option also appears to be Needoo, which I shall endeavour to get to soon).
So lets put this in some context. The Michelin Starred Indian chef Atul Kochhar rates the Lahore as his top curry place in London, Time Out rates underrates Tayyabs at 4 stars compared to the Lahore's 3 and Jay Rayner backs Tayyabs as the best lamb chop around, threatening to punch anyone who disagrees. Well risking the wrath of Rayner (on the off chance he ever come across this), I am going to say something controversial. The lamb chops at the Lahore are better!
