Customer Review Summary

Lamb karahi is the dish diners return to most, described as tender, full of flavour and perfectly cooked, with the charsi version singled out and daal channa praised alongside it. Close behind are the mixed grill, large platter and seekh kebabs, plus lamb chops, chicken samosas and dynamite prawns. Reviewers also mention soft naan, a Ferrero milkshake and a pina colada mocktail. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer notes they fit a group in at the last minute while another was greeted warmly close to midnight.

    “East Is West Address:10 Marsh Rd, Luton LU3 2NH ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at East Is West and left with mixed feelings, ultimately giving it a solid 4-star rating! As I walked into the restaurant, I was greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere. The decor is inviting and beautifully crafted, setting the stage for a pleasant dining experience. However, I found the food to be somewhat mediocre, with room for improvement. I decided to try the mixed grill, which was advertised as being able to serve multiple people. Unfortunately, I found it to be quite small for the number of people it claimed to feed, featuring only one piece of fish on top, which left us wanting more. While the flavors were decent, they didn’t quite live up to my expectations. On a positive note, the staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the overall experience. The parking situation was also surprisingly convenient, which is a huge plus in the Luton area. Despite the food not hitting the mark as I had hoped, I appreciate the friendly service and lovely atmosphere, which is why I feel compelled to give East Is West a solid 4 stars. With a few tweaks to their menu and portion sizes, and prices this place has the potential to be a real gem!”

    “I visited East Is West for the very first time 11/05/2026 for some dinner, and I was very impressed with the overall experience. Firstly, the quality and flavour of the food was excellent, very traditional Lamb Karahi, cooked in medium spice, and the meat was very tender. The naan was cooked to perfection, just the way I personally love them, soft, not overly thick, with a very subtle crispy underneath. Full salad was very clean and fresh, then the meal was concluded nicely with a Ferrero milkshake. I found the staff to very friendly, professional and attentive to our needs. Finally, the vibe and feel I had while sitting down was very nice, I felt relaxed, a big contributing factor to that is because East Is West is kept clean and is well maintained. If you haven't been here, I fully recommend that you do so, either on your own, with friends or family. I hope the standards that I've experienced can be maintained, if they can, then I will definitely be a regular customer.”

    “Came across this restaurant while travelling. We arrived super late close to midnight, there was nobody else there. The waitress was super welcoming and friendly, the food was fresh and delicious, honestly we were so pleasantly surprised at the great quality of the food. And the service. We got the meat Seekh kebabs and the meat khari. Couldn’t praise the restaurant and the staff enough. I would highly recommend. If you’re wondering whether to take a chance and try out this restaurant I’d say go for it!”
