Lahore Kebab House
In all honesty, the BYOB policy of Lahore Kebab House was what originally attracted my party of 12 friends, but we left with our bellies and minds more full of delicious Pakistani dishes than of cheap drinks. You can't exactly describe is as an intimate restaurant (their Whitechapel establishment sits 350 people, and we went during Ramadan around sunset so you can imagine the debate!) but what they lack in cosy décor they make up with warm smothering flavours. The starters of spicy chicken skewers and street-style shish kebab wraps not only whetted but almost satisfied one's appetite, but nothing could stop us from completely devouring mains for lamb and spinach, bought sizzling in pewter bowls to our table, and the special of spicy lamb chop curry. The rice fluffy, the nan plentiful, our £3.50 Echo Falls barely touched.
