Lamb Chops
Served 'dark and sizzling on a furiously hot iron skillet,' these are 'the sort of chops you eat twice' according to Jay Rayner—first to eat the meat, and then to 'chew away at the crusty bits' on the bone.
Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.
Pakistani · ££ · Whitechapel
Start with
Gola Kebab
Soft, herby patties served with flaky lachha paratha and green chutney. A compelling reason to visit even solo.
