Tayyabs

"Tayyabs is a frenetic Pakistani-Punjabi restaurant tucked away in a back street in Whitechapel – not far from Brick Lane, but far enough." Full review

"Opened in 1974, Tayyabs has smartened itself up over the years but still offers the same straightforward Pakistani food."

"If you come here expecting a relaxing evening, cheery service or an intimate atmosphere, you’ll be disappointed: this is a full-on, massive, hectic, loud, in-and-out sort of place." Full review

""Sumptuous" mains accompanied by "standout" naan and lassis are dished out at this Whitechapel Pakistani with a BYO policy." Full review

"Lipsmacking seekh kebabs alone are worth the queues."

"Best bets include Karachi okra, slow-cooked "dry meat," minced-meat seekh kebabs, Karahi prawns, hot steaming naan breads, and Tayyab's famous spicy char-grilled Karahi lamb chops."

"This famous, BYOB Punjabi diner in Whitechapel is loud and boisterous (no one’s on a romantic date), but what you’re there for are the sizzling plates of meat." Full review

"Sometimes you just need a refined, expertly cooked eight course wine-paired meal in a classy but casual, well staffed, well run and well executed establishment." Full review

"Tayyabs' gutsy food at low prices provides a welcome change from the more tourist-orientated Brick Lane Indian restaurants." Full review
