  “I came around 16:00 hours with my family to dine in since we were shopping in southall. When we entered we was met with amazing service by our waiter and arranged a table for us. The restaurant is perfect for all family sizes and they have additional seating upstairs as well as toilets. We sat down and had look at menus, everything was good looking and priced averagely! I ordered the lamb karahi bonless medium, rice. Chicken biryani, lamb biryani, mix grill, chips, chicken tikka pieces, lamb kebab and chicken curry! There were a few other things ordered too. Also I forgot to say, they gave complimentary papadum which is always nice and ice cold water and even gave extra ice cubes too. After ordering even though the restaurant was adequately busy the waiter asked us if we want all food together or whatever is ready first. We said all together but in my head I was worried that the food will be cold. However, all the food came within half an hour and it was piping hot! Absolutely piping hot. The lamb karahi which I ordered was amazing, absolutely spectacular no faults. The sauce was just another notch. I ordered some more papadums and finished it with the sauce. The lamb biryani was good too, normally restaurants mess up a lamb biryani but the meat here was tender and juicy!! The rice was fresh too and flavourful. The chicken biryani, you can’t go wrong can you? This restaurant didn’t fail. 10/10 The mix grill, the chicken perfect! Soft and juicy fell of the bone. 10/10 I ordered chicken tikka too, I thought it will be red but it came in a different colour, I will give it a 9/10. It came sizzling hot and steaming but it was just missing that little bit of taste I can’t really describe it but didn’t really feel like tikka. The restaurant service was absolutely amazing throughout. They play really good instrumental cover music too! ( I love that ) Thank you for serving me and my family. Bill came to around £145. Divided by 6 people =£20 bang on average and for this service as well as quality of food, I’ll happily pay more.”

  “My recent visit to the Southall branch of Lahori Masala for a family breakfast was, unfortunately, a significant disappointment. While the establishment boasts a pleasant seating area and inviting decor, the culinary experience failed to meet even basic expectations for authentic Lahori cuisine. Halwa Puri Chana: The portion sizes were underwhelming. The meal consisted of two puris accompanied by a sparse serving of chana, halwa, and an negligible amount of potato curry. The side of achar was similarly minimal, lacking the generosity one expects from a traditional breakfast spot. Lamb Nihari: This was the most notable shortcoming. The dish lacked the depth of spice and the robust, slow-cooked character synonymous with authentic Nihari. Furthermore, the quality was questionable, as the dish felt reheated rather than freshly prepared. While the kulcha ordered on the side was decent, it could not salvage the main dish. Parathas: The parathas were remarkably unremarkable, lacking the crisp, layered texture of a well-made breakfast paratha. They felt mass-produced and lacked the care one would expect from a specialty restaurant. The karak tea was disappointing—a very basic, uninspired blend that failed to deliver the bold, spiced flavor profile one anticipates when ordering this traditional drink. It was served unsweetened, requiring manual adjustment, but the underlying tea base was simply subpar. Despite arriving at 9:00 AM when the restaurant was quiet, the service was unexpectedly sluggish. A lack of coordination in the kitchen resulted in staggered service; my halwa was served well before the puris arrived, rendering the meal disjointed and preventing us from eating together. While the ambiance and interior design provide a promising setting, Lahori Masala falls short where it matters most: food quality, freshness, and authentic flavor. Given the wealth of superior options for a traditional desi breakfast in the area, I cannot recommend this establishment. I will not be returning, and I suggest diners seek out more consistent and flavorful alternatives.”

  “I’m one of the pickiest eaters ever. This restaurant convinced me there can be amazing places to go eat. I blindly trust to order anything from their whole menu. Quality, taste, flavour, hygiene is all up there. I tried their halwa puri channe, (masala) fries, chaat’s, haleem, karahi’s , kulcha’s, drinks, allll of it. It’s 1000/10!!! Doesn’t matter when you go, breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner, service is consistent and food is delicious. It’s the best Desi restaurant (also in southall). They really care about their customers and their service. May Allah keep putting blessings into your restaurant, ameen!”

  “It was great to taste the true Lahori Authenticity of Paya and Masala Fish. Food was yummy and staff was very humble and friendly. I want to come back and try other signature dishes on the menu. I took the liberty to take some photos and design my own collage as a tribute.”

  “Extremely poor experience with Lahori Masala Southall. Ordered Halwa Puri for breakfast and the channay were unbelievably salty — not just slightly off, but completely inedible. It honestly felt like no one even tasted the food before sending it out. We ended up throwing most of it away. This shows a serious lack of quality control and care for customers. When you charge people for food, the least you can do is make sure basic seasoning is correct. Ruining a traditional breakfast with such a basic mistake is unacceptable. Very disappointing and not worth the money. I won’t be ordering again unless standards improve drastically.”

  “We flew into Southall International Airport (Heathrow), picked up a rental car and headed straight to the nearest Pakistani restaurant… Lahori Masala! It sits between two much fancier Pakistani restaurants in Southall, and while its neighbors may win on décor, comfort, presentation and flash uniforms, food quality is not where they have the edge. Lahori Masala’s food is simply tastier, and the service is usually better.. The flavors here are authentically Pakistani, not the generic “South Asian” profile you often find elsewhere. This is proper Punjabi/Lahori cooking with depth and balance — and frankly, this style of food is just tastier when done right. The menu includes dishes many Pakistani restaurants don’t offer, such as kareley gosht and bhindi gosht, both cooked with confidence rather than as afterthoughts. A special mention for the laccha paratha: excellent — not greasy, just the right thickness, and full of flavor. My only complaint is that the Charsi dishes are priced unnecessarily high, and the chicken charsi was too similar to a standard karahi to justify the premium. Despite that, this is a place I’ll definitely be back to for honest Pakistani food, strong flavors, and service that works!”
