The legendary lamb chops are “great – but all the food is delicious” – at this teeming Whitechapel landmark, which notches up its half-century this year. “The atmosphere is an experience – cricket on big screens, and the weirdest mix of Indian and Pakistani families, East End geezers, hipsters and City boys”. “You don’t come for the indifferent service”.

“OMG!! Do not judge a book by its cover!” “The grand-daddy of cheap ’n’ cheerful Pakistani kebab joints” in Whitechapel has been “an East End staple” since it opened in 1972.

Top Tip – “step in at the off-licence next door for your booze”. Top Menu Tips – “the chops are special”, and it serves “the best chicken tikka ever”.

"Still love this place. I discovered it in the 90s when it was upstairs and had about 6 chairs all mismatched and from a skip! Please stop dumbing down the food for bland, ignorant palates. Your food is nothing like it used to be. Even though I still enjoy it. "
