About Lahore One Restaurant
On Commercial Rd, Lahore One Restaurant serves Pakistani food cooked in charcoal-fired clay tandoors, in a no-frills setting with no extras added to the room. Karahai chicken is a recurring order, alongside marinated tandoori lamb and naan made fresh to accompany the mains. Spicy poppadoms and mogo chips round out the sides, and the kebab rolls come without sauce inside. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and the bill is settled in cash only. Diners are permitted to bring their own alcohol, since none is sold on site.

Customer Review Summary
Karahi chicken emerges as the clear standout, with reviewers describing it as cooked to perfection with rich spices and tender meat, and it anchors a broader run of praise for the curries, with veggie curries and mogo chips singled out as full of flavour, alongside tandoori lamb called the best some had tasted, marinated in perfect layers. Garlic naan is repeatedly noted as fresh even when other dishes disappoint. Service is mixed, several call staff friendly and attentive, even first class, while one describes it as a bit cold. A recurring frustration is payment, with more than one reviewer noting they had to pay in cash without being told beforehand. Consistency also draws complaints, one reviewer found the lamb ghost reheated and bland, another called a kebab roll dry with no sauce, calling it a waste of money, and one reviewer reports unhygienic glasses, a poorly cleaned space, and a lukewarm chai brought in from outside.

“look at the kebab rolls no sauce nothing so dry at least if u don’t put sauce inside it give some separate sauce with it. Was waste of £6.50 each kebab Roll……..”

“Glasses were unhygienic, even the place was not well cleaned. Owner was trying to nudge us to order chickpeas in curry (chiker choley) which we finally did. The taste was good and naan were fresh. He accepted our chai request but brought it from outside and it was pathetic to drink ( lil cold and not tasty at all). Price to quantity ratio was also bad although we had to pay in cash (maybe no tax). I would say to improve above things & make it a worthy experience if you want more customers.”

“Waitress was first class very attentive. This is some of the tasty food I had in awhile. Best tandoori lamb I've ever had, meat was marinated to perfect layers of flavour. You can really taste the fresh ingredients”

“Lamb Ghost was re-heated, probably cooked a few days ago; Tasted bland. Garlic naan was super fresh, as it’s not possible to reheat naan. It was not busy, and the staff looked like a family, and on a different planet. It’s a “hunger cure” place! Would not recommend this place as a restaurant!”

“Service is good but the food is not worth it. And also we need to carry cash to pay the bill, they didn't even inform us before. Atleast they have to mention on the entrance.”
