A narrow, no-frills Acton staple that feels like a takeaway waiting room up front but hides a spacious garden and comforting mandi plates in the back.
Ordering Strategy
If you want to sit down, ignore the bright front room and head straight to the back garden. Order the Mulawah bread to start.
What to order
Lamb Mandi
The tender meat and aromatic rice are the headline act here, consistently praised for falling off the bone.
Motabak
A heavy, folded paratha filled with minced meat or vegetables and cheese; filling enough to be a meal on its own.
Masoub
A captivating traditional dessert mash-up of bananas, honey, yogurt, and milk that offers a heavy dose of sweetness.

Good to know
Strictly Halal. The front of the shop can feel like a waiting room with glaring spotlights, so it works best for takeout or garden dining. Note that some items like Motabak might not be ready if you arrive too early.
