“Very disappointed with Kabli Pulao. Overpriced and underwhelming. Tiny portion, bland flavors. Not authentic Kabli Pulao. Won't return.”

“Tried their food at Taste of London in Regent's Park. Excellent food. Loved the pilaus (am usually not a fan of pilaus). Very friendly service. Wish they could open an outlet in central London 🙏”
