  “Fairly average south Asian food. Restaurant is incredibly busy (great for the business of course) so you basically sit on the same table as all other guests. Clearly a place they want to get you in and out. Very fairly priced though and the onion bhaji's were great!”

  “We visited Lahore Karahi yesterday after a long time. This restaurant used to be our regular. However, we were extremely disapponted with the quality of food! The portion sizes were much smaller than they used to be.We ordered 5 curries, 1 of them ginger chicken curry. This used to be our favourite regular dish which we used to order.However they had changed the recipe! It was an orangy runny sauce and tasted horrible! The prawn curry was horrible, prawns hard and runny orange sauce. We ordered 4 chappatis and specifically said no butter and yet they turned up dripping with butter! I told them to replace them and we had to wait 10 mins for them to arrive and in the meantine our food was getting cold! My husband had to ask 5 times for water! My friend had to keep chasing up his 7up and instead got sparkling water! The restaurant wasnt even busy! When we got the bill they tried to charge for the sparkling water which was a cheek! Unfortunately, we will not be going back there! What a huge disappointment from what used to be our favourite restaurant.”

  “This place is the OG in Tooting. Used to be my go to when living in London, now must-visit when I’m back from Australia. Curries are amazing and decently spiced (chicken tikka masala and lamb korma STAND OUTS). Lamb biryani and mixed grills are superb Manager is a gem and is warm and friendly I’ve been to Michelin star Indian/Pakistani in London and for price/taste this place is unbeatable”

  “Visited Lahore Karahi Tooting with 9 people on 23/05/2026. We brought our own alcohol, so we expected some corkage. We were charged £16 corkage for 5 people unbelievable , but the 10% “Large Party” service charge of £19.26 was added without any notice before or during the meal. For a group booking, this should be made clear upfront so customers can decide. After we paid, we were still sitting chatting for a bit, but staff started clearing plates and turned off the air conditioner while we were still there. It felt rushed and unwelcoming. For a group booking, all charges should be made clear upfront. The food was fine, but the lack of transparency and the way we were rushed out left a bad impression.”

  “Very disappointed with the quality of the food delivered. The korma was so runny it was almost liquid, while the saag was overly thick and lacked balance. The prawns were hard and clearly overcooked. The peshwari naans were thin, dry, and had very little filling. Overall, the meal did not live up to expectations and was poor value for money. (Take away - £78 for 3 persons)”

  “I’ve been to Lahore Karahi Tooting multiple times, and overall the restaurant itself is great — the food is consistently good and that’s what keeps me coming back. The atmosphere is lively and it has a lot of potential to be an even better experience. What really stands out positively is some of the staff. There’s a young woman who takes orders and serves — she’s always incredibly sweet, polite, and welcoming. A few of the other servers are also very friendly and make you feel comfortable as a customer. However, there’s a noticeable issue with a couple of men who seem to be in managerial roles or handling the counter. Their attitude is quite disappointing. They come across as unwelcoming and, at times, dismissive. The way they look at and interact with customers can feel uncomfortable, almost as if there’s a lack of basic courtesy or respect. It is disheartening because you expect a sense of warmth and hospitality in a place like this. Unfortunately, their behaviour takes away from what is otherwise a very good dining experience. I hope the owners take customer feedback seriously, because with just a small improvement in customer service at the front, this restaurant could easily be excellent all around.”

  “I had the tandoori lamb chops which were excellent, the charsi chicken karahi was average, the chaat was also average, the falooda was nice. They do good food, but not wow food. Thanks”

  “GENUINE REVIEW: I had come here this evening with my partner for dinner, we were served by a gentleman who was seeing everyone queuing up. We were seated quite quickly, and ordered food not long after… FOOD: We ordered 1 pair of vegetable samosas, mushroom and onion rice, chicken saag, chicken tikka masala and 2 plain rice. Vegetable samosas - came out quick enough but both were loop warm to cold. Chicken saag - the chicken saag texture was really thick and had absolutely no taste to eat, also was very salty. Chicken tikka masala - chicken pieces were soft, but the sauce was runny, had no taste of either cream or tomato. This was a runny texture and tasted like a gravy that came out of a bisto sachet! Mushroom and onion rice, the rice lacked flavour, the onions were boiled not panned of fried, the mushrooms seemed like they were out a tin and not fresh at all. Naan bread - the breads looked fine but again had absolutely no taste to how a plain naan should taste like, they had a crisp and fluffy texture but not the best I’ve had. Condiments sauces - the mint yogurt sauce lacked taste and not enough sugar to give the sauce it’s natural flavour The mango chutney, was good and had chunks, chilli sauce was also good and had flavour. SERVICE: The service for me was not above par, a polite woman took our order after asking her questions about the dishes we ordered but seems to lack the knowledge of the menu. We had also asked 3 times for water before we was given any, plates we left empty after our starter although asked if they could be taken to provide more serving space. At the end I had asked for the bill and was not given one just the manager coming up with the card machine and quoting me £38. I didn’t bother to ask as at this point I wanted to just leave! One of the waiters was cleaning out table before leaving who acknowledged us and asked about the food which I didn’t hold back and said it was appalling, he asked why and I had told him which he obviously felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say not even a sorry…. I won’t be coming back here at all and o do not recommend such a place! I even gave my salaam on arrival to the manager who obviously didn’t want to acknowledge me at all… I would unfortunately avoid coming here as there are many places on the high street to eat better quality food at the same price or even less.”

  “We made a reservation to visit Lajo de Karahi, and I’m glad we did because the place was full when we arrived. The atmosphere was lively and authentic. This was my first time trying Pakistani food, and I was invited by my daughter, who told me it was one of her favorite restaurants — and now I completely understand why. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish had rich, fresh flavors and felt perfectly homemade. Another great detail is that you can bring your own alcoholic drinks, which makes the experience even better. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was quick and friendly, and everything we ordered was worth it. Definitely a place I would return to. If you’re in London and want to try authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine, Lajo de Karahi is a must-visit.”

  “5/5 stars! Had an amazing experience at Lahore Karahi! The Chicken Jalfrezi was incredibly tangy and spicy, just perfect for those who love a kick. The Chana chickpea bhuna was richly spiced with a great aroma also the meat biyarani. The Chicken Tikka was tender and full of flavor. Fresh salad, cold drinks, and freshly made naan complemented the meal perfectly. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommend this spot for authentic and delicious Pakistani cuisine!”
