  “Tayyabs Express in Ilford was a huge disappointment. The service was very poor, and the two staff members serving seemed like they didn’t want to be there. The food was only average, especially considering the prices and how much better the …”

  “I’ve been a regular customer at the tayyabs in whitechapel so I was expecting the same service and food quality. They brought out the lamb chops in foil and I had to ask the staff to remove it which I’ve never experienced before. When the chicken karahi was presented it was watery and flavourless I had ordered garlic naan and they gave me butter naan which I asked to be replaced. When the bill came there wasn’t any hot cloths or mint chocolate which is a tayyabs complimentary. I wouldn’t visit here in the future.”

  “Absolutely blown away by this place 🔥 From the moment we walked in, the vibes were perfect—beautiful ambience, warm service, and the sound of smooth Punjabi and Bollywood music setting the mood just right 🎶 Now the food… honestly, OUTSTANDING. Every dish was bursting with rich, authentic flavours. You can tell real care and passion goes into every plate—perfectly spiced, beautifully presented, and seriously satisfying. This isn’t just a meal, it’s a full experience. Great music, amazing atmosphere, and food that leaves you wanting more. Definitely coming back again! 👌”

  “Decided to give Tayyabs Express another try after hearing mixed feedback from friends — and I’m really glad I did! We ordered lamb chops, sheekh kebab, lamb karahi, peshwari naan, and the Sunday special chicken biryani, and it was a lovely spread that we thoroughly enjoyed. The lamb chops were juicy and perfectly cooked, and the sheekh kebab was full of flavour. There’s just something special about Tayyabs’ lamb chops and peshwari naan — honestly, it’s right up there with the original Fieldgate Street branch. The restaurant had a great, lively atmosphere — full house on a Sunday evening with lots of UberEats orders flying out the door. A couple of small negatives: the sofa seats were quite uncomfortable (you sink into them!), and the door doesn’t close properly, so we had a cold breeze coming in which cooled the food down and made us feel quite cold too. Overall though, we’d definitely go back — next time we’ll just ask for a table away from the door!”

  “Tayyabs Express is as the name suggests, express. We dined here on a Thursday evening, and the place was busy (in a good way). The decor is very good and the staff is very tentative and friendly. We were lucky there was a table available. …”
