Customer Review Summary
Butter chicken is the dish reviewers name most, with one calling its twist on the usual version their favourite. Close behind are the karahis, including lamb karahi and a karahi paneer, along with garlic naan and peshawari naan, which diners describe as fresh and authentic. The mixed grill splits opinion. One reviewer calls the fish good and the seekh kebab spicy but juicy, yet finds the lamb chops and wings average and the platter overpriced. Ras malai was rated below average. The complaints centre on execution and service. One diner found a chicken tikka roll oily, with unpleasant-smelling onions and peppers and none of the chilli and mint sauces they remembered. Another received a paneer roll that was a tandoori roti topped with paneer and capsicum, not the roll on the menu. Others describe food that seemed reheated rather than fresh, and having to walk to the counter to order in a half-empty room. Long-time regulars of 10 and 11 years say the taste has not changed, including a Jain diner whose no onion, garlic or potato requests are met with karahi paneer and chana masala.

“We have just returned from having lunch at Lahori Karahi, Hounslow - traumatised. Midway through the meal something fell from the ceiling/vent onto our meal. It was a maggot. We discovered the floor was littered with them. Absolutely horrified, and notify staff. Staff / kitchen staff were completely unbothered. One commented “it looks like a snail”. Didn’t appear like anything was going to be done about it. We were asked to pay the whole bill. We were so disappointed by the entire experience here. Avoid.”

“Overall: Food: Pakistani We went to this dreadful place so you don’t have to. As soon as we walked in the owner said ‘it’s all fresh’ before we even asked anything. What. Some was anything but fresh. Fresh from the microwave maybe. My colleague was told if he wanted fresh chicken it would take an hour despite the restaurant being my eerily empty. The smell was diabolical and the oil heavy food horrific. I couldn’t bring myself to eat and two of my colleagues later reported feeling unusual whilst the third was fine as he has a robust digestive system. What I liked: • Nothing except the large sign for the toilet What I didn’t like: • The decor • The service • The food • The price point • The smell Do I recommend going? NO Will I go again? NO Was it good value? NO Price Point: $$”

“I ordered a paneer roll for my daughter. However, what the restaurant served was a tandoori roti topped with paneer and capsicum, along with two lemon slices — not a proper roll as expected from the menu. Before placing the order, I specifically asked the staff about the taste, mentioning that I was ordering for my daughter. The person I spoke to did not explain properly what would actually be served. This feels like cheating — your menu shows one thing, but you serve something different when dining in. That’s not right, and it shows disrespect toward customers.”

“I came here for dinner for the first time and I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised! The food tasted fresh (kebabs, lamb karahi, butter chicken, garlic naan and peshawari naan) and was authentic. Our waiter was Pardeep and he was very friendly, quick and organised. Highly recommend for anyone thinking of a nice place to have dinner with their family!”

“Been a couple years since I've had food from here. I remember they did an amazing chicken tikka roll, flavourful and succulent chicken perfectly cooked with onion and peppers and the right amount of salad all brought together with really nice chilli and mint sauces. So I was disappointed when what I got was very different from that. The chicken was succulent but the onion and peppers were a bit too oily and had a bit of an unpleasant aroma to it. There was no sauce that I could make of, or perhaps it was being drowned out by the oil - I was getting a kick of heat - but I'm not sure. The salad was okay. It was really missing those chilli and mint sauces I mentioned previously and maybe use a neutral oil and less of it.”
