Tayyabs
When I come across something this good, I think it only fair to share. My knitting teacher told me about Tayyabs about 5 months ago and since then, we have spent almost every Sunday lunch there enjoying their incredibly fresh and tasty Pakistani food.
Everything I’ve tried on the menu tastes like someone’s grandmother is in the kitchen preparing the delicious homemade food. Everything always comes hot and steaming. On top of the fabulous food, the service simply cannot be beat. I get the feeling that most of the guys serving have been working there for years and years and take real pride in what they do. It’s a real pleasure in a place like London where a service culture hasn’t really been developed in my (American) opinion.
Tayyabs is very, very busy so unless you go for lunch, expect to wait. You can make reservations on Friday and Saturday night but at time of writing, you need to make them at least a week in advance. And, Tayyabs doesn’t have a liquor license, so if you want to have a lovely Kingfisher to go with your curry, be sure to bring it yourself.
