  “We have visited Taste of Pakistan twice, and unfortunately, both experiences have been disappointing. I visited again yesterday, and the restaurant was completely empty. We ordered the Chapli Kebab and Lamb Karahi. When the food arrived, the Chapli Kebab was undercooked, and the Lamb Karahi did not have the authentic taste you would normally expect. The service was equally disappointing. Despite being the only customers in the restaurant, the staff were inattentive. I had to get up and go to the counter myself just to ask for the bill. Nobody came to check on us, ask how the food was, or see if we needed anything. Overall, I am very unhappy with the food and service. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experiences. Nasir, if you are the owner, the staff are unfortunately damaging the reputation and hard work you have put into this business. There is clearly potential here, but significant improvements are needed in both food quality and customer service.”

  “❗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❗ I’ve done nearly 100 reviews and have tried a lot of Pakistani restaurants, so I’ve got a pretty good idea of what separates a genuinely great restaurant from an average one. My three biggest factors are affordability, taste and quality, and Taste of Pakistan in Tooting absolutely blew the charts for me. It’s honestly become my favourite Pakistani restaurant. We ordered Platter No. 2 and the chicken karahi, and I genuinely don’t understand some of the reviews claiming the food is bland or dry. My experience was the complete opposite. Everything was packed with flavour, cooked properly and absolutely delicious. The portions were also humongous. We spent around £100 for six people and still had plenty — and I mean plenty — left over to take home. With restaurants at a similar price point, we usually either finish everything because the portions aren't enough or leave feeling only relatively full. Here, we were comfortably full AND had loads to take home. Another thing that gave me a nice chuckle was seeing some of the owner’s replies to reviews — definitely worth having a read 😂. Service was EXCELLENT. The Question Once you try the food here, you’ll genuinely struggle to find the same quality elsewhere. It sets the bar so high that you’ll probably find yourself comparing other Pakistani restaurants to this one afterwards. After nearly 100 reviews, I can confidently say this is my favourite Pakistani restaurant so far. Absolutely worth trying.”

  “Food was very tasty. Loved the mixed grill and curry, I would come again. The kabuli rice used to be better under the old franchise, it used to be sweeter and richer.”

  “Taste of Pakistan has a really pleasant ambiance—spacious, clean, and ideal for families or larger groups. The seating is comfortable, and the traditional baithak-style setup adds a nice cultural touch that reflects genuine hospitality. I tried the chapli kebab, and the portion was more than enough—well-cooked with just the right balance of spices. The tangy chutney served alongside was especially delicious and complemented the kebabs perfectly. We also ordered the Sindhi biryani, which didn’t disappoint—generous in size, full of flavor, and the chicken was tender and cooked just right. One thing that stood out was the naan. At many places, it tends to go cold and tough quickly, but here it stayed soft and fresh, making it really enjoyable to eat. Definitely a highlight of the meal.”

  “The ambiance was nice, very spacious and clean specially if you are coming with your family and big group of friends you’ll like the sitting. They also have a Baithak setup presenting our hospitality vibe. I ordered chapli Kabab, the portion was good enough to fill put tummies and it was fully cooked perfect level of spices and the ted chatni which they serve with these kebabs was yum. Then we ordered Sindhi Biryani again the portion was good and it was yummy, chicken was fully cooked and tender. One thing I’ll say I’ve tried many Pakistani Restaurants here and when you order nan they get cold and hard in seconds but their Nan was so soft I personally don’t like if we’re fighting or chewing too much so 10/10 for Nan as well. I also ordered drinks and when I saw the bill i was actually surprised because It was only 24£.”

  “I recently visited Taste of Pakistan in Tooting and had a very pleasant experience overall. The restaurant was nice and clean, and it was reassuring to know that all the food served is halal. The highlight of our meal was definitely the Charsi Lamb Karhi, which was full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The Charsi Lamb Chops were also fabulous and thoroughly enjoyable. We did try the Afghani Tikka, which unfortunately didn’t quite suit our taste buds, but this didn’t take away from the overall experience. We also ordered chicken nuggets and chips for a child, and the portion size was very generous, which was great to see. The restaurant felt child-friendly, and the prices were fair and reasonable for the quality and portion sizes offered. Overall, a good dining experience with some standout dishes, and I would happily return again.”
