Aladin Kebabish in Barnet

Went and collected my takeaway. Very disappointed with my Chicken Vindaloo. All potatoes with two or three pieces of chicken. Was not tasty. Upset.

Standard of Nihari has substantially decreased. We have been going to this restaurant for the past 15 plus years but today we were disappointed with the quality of Nihari. Service was very good though

Very rude staff at the payment counter. Food was nice as usual and was served nicely but whole taste gone when I appeared at the tills to pay my bill. I was told it’s a cash only counter and I didn’t have cash as I have paid with card here many times in the past. I was asked to go to the nearest ATM but it wasn’t functioning. Then I was asked to use one which has charges. I felt very embarrassed as my guests were offering to pay. When all avenues were exhausted the guy took the card machine out from the draw and said ok you can pay. I asked him why he didn’t let me pay in the first place, and replied it was faulty. Of course, they are doing this to dodge the taxes but this shouldn’t be by annoying long term customers.

Very busy, fast paced restaurant but great fun. We thought they were licensed but they happily went next door & bought us cobra & wine (twice). The food was great quality & superb taste. A really good night out with excellent food. No waiters were rude to us at all.

The staff was horrible beyond imagination! The food is average i would say. if you are deprived (like me) to have Nehari it wouldnt be bad but the rest of the dishes are not good at all and the customer service cant be any worst. it literally felt as if i am having dinner somewhere in a third class road side Dhaba in Pakistan. the waiter was so terrible and disrespectful as if we were there to have food for free or as if he has fought with his wife and came to work. Terrible!

Amazing choice of food, great taste. Everything fresh & cooked great. Staff Very professional & helpful A must! They offer delivery as well.

Excellent food but totally spoilt by two of the waiters who were arrogant and rather rude - unfortunately it seems they don’t care about service customers will go there regardless. Most of the waiters are good and this is the first time we came across unpleasant waiter. In addition it is beyond me why they do not accept card payments?

We were in London friends suggested this amazing place we were so much pleased with every thing we ordered actually we tried a lot of different dishes. Nihari halem qormaa and so on...... Each dish was outstanding and strongly recommend this place to food lovers.

Great food! Nice portions. And the price was good. The only thing i would say is instead of just placing a shank in the portion, pieces of meet would make it perfect. In all great tasting food! Raza

Do go there regularly, Nihari and Haleem are probably the only dishes which are really good. Seek kebabs not great, chicken tikka too dry and no bit blend, lam chops okay. Tables are never clean and even when you ask first response is do we really want the tables to be clean ? When they do come, they just wipe it with dry tissue which doesn't really clean tables. Tables do not have any table cloth not even a cheap one which is rather annoying.

Aladin was recommended by a friend, went there with family, there isn't any safe place to park around as the restaurant is on a very busy road, the food was not freshly cooked as well as was over priced and the customer service was as poor as gets, no where in the restaurant or on their website this was mentioned that they are cash only, the food bill was above £200, have to go out in rain to bring cash from a nearby post office where one would need to cross a very busy road without zebra crossing, will neither use them again or recommend them, stay away and save hassle...

Ruined my daughter birthday. Firstly we waited 20 mins for a table when one side of the restaurant have many seats available. Food quality has gone down. Service was utterly horrible staff switched the light off, then told us to get out as it’s there cleaning time. Didn’t even let us cut the cake. Complained to the boss but he didn’t know what to say. The food prices have increased drastically. Would not recommend to anyone. We are regulars but never going there again.

Total Amateur. Curries over salted. All curries tasted the same. Even the waiters could not tell the difference between curries. worst, when I complained, they didn't care. They are so deceptive, they give you more curry (cooked spiced tomatoes), less meat and more bone. Fraudulent? The dish for my daughter who has allergies came as we were finishing our meal. Total Amateur. Go anywhere else but to these fraudsters. Waiters dressed out of uniform, and providing poor service. The man at the counter absolutely not interested in your experience, just wants your money. Did not care if there was too much salt. Worst of all, they were not busy and even then their food was awful. As for them being a Pakistani Muslim company, they really bring down the reputation of of other really professional Pakistani Muslim owned restaurants.

Service was not good as per their standard as used to before , it really doesn’t matter the main part is the taste of nihari which was very disappointing . Please don’t try behari kebab it was awful . I believe either their chef or spice has changed hence no taste anymore :(

Food was just terrible. kebab was very dry and service was awful, when complained nothing happened I did tell the manager your service and attitude and food is just awful. Butter chicken tasted like microwave cooked food. only want cash from you!! if you say card then they look at you like an alien.!!

By far the worst pakistani/indian food we ever tasted in London. Chicken biryani full of salt and chicken korma tested nothing like Korma. The salad was cut probably a few days ago as onions changed colour. Total disappointment 🤦‍♀️

We traveled from Chester for Nihari at Aladin kebabiah. We ordered 9 Nihari as group of 22 people visited. Taste was not good, Very poor quality. Visited many times earlier and food quality always good but this time very disappointing. Will never visit this restaurant again. Regretting should choose some other place to eat with big group.

This is the third time we ordered a large takeaway (over £60) and it has come with items missing. BAD

Great menu and really delicious food with affordable prices. Good food and great ambience. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended. Must try nihari, biryani, barbeque and dessert.

I honestly have no words for the quality of food they serve and the amazing service!! Their Nihari & Paye are incredibly delicious! Totally remind me of Karachi and the exotic flavourful food! Definitely looking to visit Alladin again as soon as lockdown re-opens, with my family!!!❤️ definitely recommended!

I have been visiting many time this restaurant for Typical pakistani food, nihari, Haleem Qorma BIRYANI pulao mix grill are fantastic, one more thing Masala fish and Limca drink absolutely delicious. This is only restaurant in London which mention pakistani cuisine and put big picture of our hero Mohammed Ali Jinnah.my advise to all tourists of Pakistan they must visit this restaurant.

This Restaurant was recommended by 2 people in the last 2 days, one was my son the other a Pakistani Foodie.I would not have gone otherwise to be honest.So long story short, this is my second Pakistani Restaurant meal in a week, this was the better of the 2, which was a huge surprise.Restaurant is on West Hendon Broadway, a corner site, proudly halal & not too far from the local mosque.The above should tell you about the clientele, we were not their typical diner, which may explain the lack of service or Covid 19 precautions.The menu was rather on the large size so we ordered light.Some kebabs, Onion bhajis, Vegetarian & Lamb Birianie.Was surprised by the meal as the bar was set so low, the Restaurant has zero ambience, next to no service and numerous staff walking around talking loudly in their own language !!Kebabs were ok, Onion Bhajis were not.Birianies were interesting especially the sambar style sauce which was served as an accompaniment.On the whole I would recommend Aladdin for a quick cheap eat but like many Pakistani Restaurants don't expect to be appreciated or served.

The staff were very rude and defensive. The food was okay with the portion sizes being quite small. Long waiting time for the food Would not recommend

Salí a cenar con la familia. La comida era buena, sin embargo, hubo un problema con un plato de pollo. Le planteamos esto a la gerencia, pero se pusieron a la defensiva y fueron groseros, ¡y nos acusaron de intimidar y mentir! Esto nos sorprendió porque solo estábamos dando comentarios. Se negaron a aceptar nuestros comentarios y repetían: "los clientes pueden estar equivocados y nosotros no cometemos ningún error". En general, muy decepcionado con su reacción, ya que no es así como se debe tratar a los clientes. No volveremos a visitarlo.

Primera vez que prueba este restaurante esta noche (11. 03. 20). La comida estaba bien, al igual que el servicio (aunque no nos dieron las gracias al final después de pagar, no hubo golosinas, así que un poco seco). También me cobraron de más por el arroz pilau y las dos porciones de arroz que pedimos fue de 7. 00 por dos porciones pequeñas (suficiente para solo 1), así que definitivamente no es una buena relación calidad-precio al precio solo por el arroz. Cada vez que he comido en un restaurante indio (mi comida estilo favorito) las porciones de arroz siempre han sido más grandes. El Chana Masala también tenía un aspecto gris y no era apetitoso, por lo que solo se comió parcialmente. El ajo nan era bueno aunque bastante delgado. En general, personalmente no lo recomendaría.

Este lugar es la joya más nueva en mi lista de cocina auténtica. Teníamos cordero al curry y cordero sindi biryani, samosas vegetarianas, arroz hervido, pan naan y lassi de mango. El curry era fantástico, biryani muy sabroso (tuve el estilo sindi por primera vez), pan naan delicioso, lassi fresco y no abrumador con azúcar, arroz y samosas eran buenos. Absolutamente vale la pena visitar para disfrutar de una excelente comida auténtica.

He estado yendo aquí por años y debo admitir que nunca han comprometido su comida o servicio. Cada visita es tan buena como la anterior. Absolutamente me encanta el Karachi haleem y bihari boti y el cordero Sindhi biriyani es demasiado bueno. Para lavar todo esto, debes probar el refresco de limca, que es muy refrescante y excelente para digerir la comida. Después de todo esto si tienes espacio (siempre espacio para el desierto) debes probar el Kheer que te llevará de regreso a Pakistán. El ambiente es brillante y te sientes como en casa en algún lugar de Pakistán. Además, si tienes suerte, también puedes toparte con una celebridad dePakistán o India. La administración es excelente y crédito al personal amable siempre rápido y servicial. Seguid así.

Went without much thinking as a friend suggested. Authentic Pakistani food. Nice ambience Non alcoholic. Good service Toilets can be better. Overall I was happy and will return. Careful with parking

I been first time my friend took me there food was really good absolutely Love it. Not much expensive.All over the services was good Truly to says toilets was disgusting they need to improve

After reading review about Haleem and Nihari I went down and ordered both. Food was served hot and haleem was very nice. Nihari was OK. Meat was tender as I would expect. I've been to Muhammadi Nihari in Lahore and if that's 9/10 then Aladin's nihari is 5/10. It is still nice compared to the rest of the restaurants in the UK i've been to but lacks the authentic taste and was a bit runny compared to a proper nihari. Portion sizes were decent.Naan was for £1 each but it was very small. It's a way of making more money by making customers buy more naans. They cost very less which means more profit margin. Or maybe it's the price you pay in London. I am not from there so I am not sure.Service was terrible. I have never seen such bad service. They lack a manager and people should know their roles and stick to them. There was no structure and no procedures. Everyone was doing everything. For example I called a waiter to order more naans she looked at and started walking towards me and half way through she got distracted by some customers walking in and i had to find another waiter. This is just one example which is enough to give you an idea.Tip: Because service was bad and everyone was running around like headless chickens. To avoid delay in my order after placing order I kept reminding them of myself and my order by asking them every 5 minutes how long it would take. It worked and I was served when the food got ready. Otherwise I am sure they would have forgotten about me and I would have been served cold food.Conclusion: If you want to have a good stress free dining experience, don't go there. Probably go to Nandos. But if you are like me and as long as food in nice you don't really care about service then please do visit. their food is much better than many Pakistani restaurants in the UK.

Friend suggested and went without thinking twice with wife. Good welcome Good decor Quick Service Awesome Flavour Card Payment Taken.... only let down was toilets could be a little better, Otherwise a hidden gem in West Hendon. Keep it up.

We visited at very quiet time 6.30pm and a party of 11 people, was so disappointed with the service and especially the Nihari. This is my 3rd visit and maybe my last, im so sure the chef has changed as the nihari was not the same. The colour of the nihari and the texture was so thick, tasted horrible. Even had the guts to tell the staff and made a special visit to tell the chef, and his only answer was ok. The toilets were a disgust, service slow. My son had a half full drink left in his can and the waiter whilst cleaning our table picked it up without asking if he had finished. A real disappointment, im sure the chef has changed and Aladdin is not the same. A real shame and such a disappointment on all areas, to service, food, toilets and general welcome feel.

Our second visit to this Pakistani Restaurant which serves authentic food. The Nihari and Haleem are famously good. We also had some Reshmi kebabs which were also delicious. Better to go at non-peak times to avoid long waiting times; the speed of service we received was excellent; however not very attentive staff. Also the washrooms are filthy. Food is great, so wash your hands before you go, take some wet wipes and have low/no expectations of the staff and you’ll be fine.

Extremadamente decepcionado con el servicio, fuimos a tomar un desayuno indio después de preguntar varias veces por qué habíamos estado esperando tanto tiempo. Solo para que me digan que está en camino o en más de una ocasión. Finalmente se nos acabó la paciencia y decidimos irnos y pagar nuestras bebidas solo para que nos dijeran que habían perdido el pedido. Nos pidieron que esperáramos unos minutos, lo cual hice a regañadientes. No fuimos compensados por el tiempo que habían desperdiciado e incluso la disculpa fue poco entusiasta. No recomendaría este lugar ya que el servicio es pésimo.

The taste is excellent. Food is just like it tastes in Pakistan. Medium spicy. Excellent nihari kebabs etc. ice cream tastes excellent too.

Walked in, not greeted as expected. Did not feel welcome. First of all it’s cash only, but it’s ok because they have a cash machine which costs money to withdraw your own money from. On arrival after sitting down, we asked for poppadoms for starters and we’re given some lettuce, onions and tomatoes? We then ordered our main course. A bowl of chips was brought out first, 15 minutes before our actual meals, so the chips was cold by then! When the food arrived, the people serving had no idea at all what was what, a man serving even said after we asked what the dish was “I think something like chicken tikka masala or something like that” and it tasted nothing like chicken tikka masala at all. No alcohol is allowed in the premises or to be served, no VAT receipt was given after the meal. We was given a spoon with our Currys and that was all, there were knives and forks placed on other tables but we weren’t even given those.

Am from leeds went in with someone’s recommendation but have to say it was one of the worst food I had in my life sorry Aladdin kebabish I don’t want to offend u but I have to tell the truth

Fuimos a almorzar por primera vez. El lugar se ve bien. Muchos hombres detrás del mostrador y los camareros, pero nadie quiere hacer nada. Tenía Nihari (muy bueno), haleem (mediocre) y Kebab (aburrido y sin sabor). Naan y roti estaban calientes, pero tuvieron que volver a preguntar para obtenerlos. Nadie interesado en limpiar la mesa y sacar los platos. Roti viene sin placas laterales, así que no saben cómo esperan que la gente sostenga roti. Este lugar no sobreviviría en ninguna área competitiva. No hacen café ni té verde y te sugieren que vayas a un restaurante al lado para tomar té verde. estrategia interesante!

A principios de este año, un amigo y yo tropezamos con Aladin después de un largo paseo. Paramos para un almuerzo que incluía namak mandi, sag aloo y ajo naan. Disfrutamos de todo. El plato recién hecho de naan y cordero fue particularmente memorable y esperaba con ansias volver. Lo hicimos hace un par de semanas y el ajo naan fue de nuevo un destacado. Esta vez teníamos dos platos vegetarianos, daal makhni y bhindi masala. Ambos eran lo suficientemente sabrosos, aunque no parecían alcanzar las alturas del plato vegetariano que teníamos anteriormente. Y para el plato de carne optamos por Karachi nihari en lugar del memorable namak mandi, ya que quería probar un plato de cordero con salsa. Desafortunadamente, encontré la salsa demasiado espesa, hasta el punto de empalagarse. Si esa hubiera sido mi primera comida en Aladin, dudo que hubiera estado saboreando un regreso. Sin embargo, en general es un buen restaurante y así es como lo calificaría (en lugar de "promedio" como lo he hecho), pero TripAdvisor no tiene "bueno" como opción para una calificación general.

We have visited again and the Nihari and the Heleem never disappoints us ..Love to visit there again and again . The meal finishes with Meetha Pan ,Remind me karachi .. All good the staff are all very professional ..

My family and i come here quite alot. My dad and cousins are a big fan of the food. However, my dad and cousins aren't comfortable with the way the male waiters stare at the women in our family. They're actually considering whether to bring us back to this place as a family. Please have some respect. We are someones wife, daughter, mother, sister and etc. Surely you would not like someone staring at the women in your family. Is this not meant to be a family restaurant? Anyways in terms of cleanliness, I can't judge the kitchen as I did not see it but when i went to the toilet there was poo and pee all over the floor and toilet. I judge a restaurant not only on food but how clean the toilets are. This place has alot or potential because of how good the food is. Service is okay. We had to call the waiter a few times. When our food did come it wasn't cold but nice and hot. We did notice a few customers who came after us were being served first. We came to the conclusion these customers maybe their old friends. Anyways like I said the place has alot of potential just needs to fix up a bit.

Good food great atmosphere parking a bit Of a problem in the day time but evening it's not so difficult.

Really upset on our visits last night, uneducated waiters, felt like we walked into a third grade restaurant. Place was dirty and food was even worse.

Bueno, limpio, bien presentado comida, simplemente, como debe ser!

I have been very waiting 20min to get sauce for my already cold chips, and realise after wait that sauce wasn’t available ! i have been served lamb instead of chicken and I am ALLERGIC!! The staff was completely useless , very poor customer service . Extremely disappointed

Escuché mucho sobre sus platillos de autor, como Nihari, Haleem y paaya, probamos todos los platillos y debo decir que no encontré la comida tan increíble que diría tan normal como lo que podemos conseguir en Southall Broadway. t tiene que ir tan lejos El servicio era un poco lento pero amable y el costo de la comida era bastante razonable. Alguien mencionó que deberíamos ir a almorzar la próxima vez, pero no estoy convencido de que deba irme. Pero si alguna vez estamos en esa área, entonces podríamos intentarlo.

Just been for brunch. Really good halwa & chana with the puris (not too greasy). The nihari was good. The haleema was excellent. Disappointed that there was no desi or pink tea to wash it down afterward.

I have had so many Niharis in UK and this one is indeed the best best Nihari

Some of the food we had deserves 5 stars in terms of flavours - I scored 4 because of the need to chase one of the dishes that I think had been forgotten about and the Dahl and tandoori naan got a bit cold by then.

I loved everything Aladin Kebabish, specially butter chicken, nan, paya and faluda.... limca was also very nice never had limca before in London

If there is one place where I never get bored to go to then it is Aladin Kebabish. If you want to experience an authentic food experience of Karachi Pakistan then there is no better option then this place in London. Infact, in UK. Three dishes you need to order when you visit.

A Pakistani at a Pakistani restaurant! Our visit to Aladdin Kebabish ambience Karachi & food authentic

We went there while searching for halal food and it was super. Helpings were big. They gave us a free refill of salad too. Lassi was also great. nehari is a must try.

Without a doubt the best Nihari and haleem i have had in London. Prices are reasonable too. They’ve reduced portion size now but not too much. Over all a good place for desi food.

I had a best Nihari in this restaurant, definitely recommended, other dishes are also fine but if visiting first time go for nihari

Solo hemos contado desde aquí antes pero takaways visitamos con mi marido y tres años para la cena. A mi hija le encantó el tanque. El personal era amable y eficiente. Mi pollo a la mantequilla era delicioso y mi marido cordero biriyani también era muy buena. Sin duda recomendaría y visita de nuevo.

This is the nearest you can get in london for karachi specialities of Nihari, Haleem and korma. My only feedback is that authentic karachi Nihari is of beef meat not lamb which is quite key to the flavour. Also Bihari Kebabs don’t have gravey and should only be bar b qued. Overall great dine in experience, well maintained restaurant, trained and courteous staff. They also have a corner with many Pakistani celebrities and cricket stars pictures, which is quite a change to find in london. They also do reservations for parties which is good since they moved to the new location on Hendon high street.

The food is very good but their service is bad thats why the low rating. asked for lamb on the bone it took them 30 min to come back and advise they had run out. Improve the service and your restraunt will be excellent

We have been there on week day ,for a dinner it was busy but the service was great,

Gone here few times before ,definitely one of the most authentic tasting Pakistani and Indian food , great flavours

The food was amazing, will definitely be returning! Reasonably priced too. The butter chicken was so delicious!

En conclusión de 7 días de alimentación haciendo turismo por Londres y París, regresó a Londres desde París esta tarde. Nos registramos en el hotel Heathrow para coger nuestro vuelo de vuelta a casa a Phoenix mañana por la mañana. He vivido en Londres unos 20 años atrás. Nuestro lugar favorito para Pakistán, la del norte de la India en esos tiempos era Lahore Karahi en Southall. Visité el lugar en mi última visita hace dos años y fue terriblemente decepcionado.

Absolutamente horrible. Fuimos para una cena familiar en una ocasión especial y era simplemente malo.

I am regular at this restaurant as they serve best Pakistani food I love their haleem and nehari and Payye it's like a family restaurant and the owner Tanver bahi is all ways welcome his customers I also like their porri halwa and falooda great food great service

Dinner with family and friends , during busy periods there quality is poor food is rushed and made, taken a...

Le pedí al camarero lo que recomiendo ya que queríamos algo 'desi 'dijo que era el cordero karahi chefs especiales desde el menú. Conseguimos curry con espinas! ! ! ! Totalmente un desperdicio! No le recomiendo a nadie

Vine aquí para el famoso Kebab, y bihari fue inmediatamente decepcionados con él. Simplemente cocidas de bits de Cordero en un genérico mezcla masala. ¿Cuál es el problema? ?

Primera vez aquí y no me decepcionó. La comida era deliciosa y muy rápido, aunque el personal no era muy atento. Por desgracia el kebab Bihari no estaba disponible pero que no darán lo había dejado sin cargo. Fue muy buena, húmeda y no duro.

Been here once before, got takeaway Chicken tikka roll and mixed kebab roll Very tasty well cooked, naan was freshly made so was the kebabs grilled to perfection very tasty Next time will eat in nice clean interiors Prices are very resonable, recommend to everyone Definitely will be going there again

Highly recommended for its world renowned nihari Aladin Kebabish serve the best in London. I was never a big fan of nihari until I tried Aladin's. It is mouthwatering!

The Food is amazing you will not be disappointed ... there are two halls u can sit in any Haleem and nihari are my favourite

Came across this restaurant by chance when visiting Hendon. The food was ok and their signature Nihari dish was one of the best I've had in a UK restaurant. However,I wasn't best pleased when they tried to double charge for the drinks, and then not even offering an apology after being found out. I'm sure they tried it on deliberately.

Always drove past the area and wanted to try one of the curry places on the street. Wandered into this place as on a dank Jan Wednesday evening. This place was full whereas the other places were virtually empty. We ordered the Karahi lamb and chicken vindaloo. It's probably not your organic best cuts of meat, but stewed in the sauces, the meat was delightful in the sauce. We saw most ppl ordering the nirhari, so shall definitely try that next time. It's not a fancy place and quite basic. The food however, is brilliant- deep, flavourful curries with sauces that just beg to be mopped up with naan and rice.

We went as a family 15 of us, our reserved table was nicely located all together. Coming to the service and dishes it was very good, nice warm plates with well cooked dishes (even my both my grans complimented it as well). From their nahari, haleem to their masala fish, all were well seasoned and served in good portion. The only let down which is not their fault is parking their is bit of an issue, so you need to look around. Overall a very good restaurant and one Ill be visiting again.

Awful. The restaurant is in a new premises since we last went there. It now has the ambience of an operating theatre with bright overhead lights and too-small white plastic tables all squashed next to each other. Service was terrible, all our dishes arrived at different times and took half an hour to 40 minutes. Plates a bit dirty. Food itself was quite tasty but horribly expensive. Lamb curry for £7.50 was six bits of lamb in a dish of gravy. Tandoori chicken was almost incinerated. Dessert menu had about four choices that were all similar and looked horrible (we declined). Cost £50 for our family of two adults and two children, but three of us were still hungry afterwards. I will not be going there again.

I love this place but admittedly only kept to the karachi specialities. My work friends love it too. It's my birthday soon so looking forward to another visit there soon ia

Good food Nihari roti hot hot served nice and hidden gem in the heart of London. food nicely cooked no complaints very good staff. book the table otherwise you will have to wait a lot

Looking at this restaurant you would be put off. I was many a times until one day I went in. Dined in and was taken back how basic it is was open minded and yes fab!So the quality of the food is fabulous and this is one the best authentic Pakistani restaurants. Fresh hot food, hot roti or nan as you eat. Great lassi and the kheer dessert is delicious. Def visit here... Great food at reasonable prices. Decor and restaurant dated but don't mind that as was great.

Nihari, haleem and pai are good dishes Chicken Karahi also good Avoid starters not fresh reheatedService terrible slow and not attentive expect to ask twice for your drinks

Don't expect much from the service here. It isn't great/attentive. However the Paya and haleem and nihari is the best I have ever tasted, beaten only by my mum's versions! And that's saying something believe me. Even my notoriously difficult to please mother said this place 'has no comparison/competitor' when it comes to nihari, Paya and haleem. Don't waste your money on other things. Order those and have fun. No alcohol served here and no bring your own thank God. It's a nice family establishment

Nihari was awesome. Definitely one of the best in London. Rest of the food was medicate. Oh, the sweet lassie was awesome too.

This place serves the best Nihari in England and is out of this world. We then ordered Falooda which was Excellent as well. The kids loved it.Excellent Food !!!

If you like haleem and Nehari then this is the best place to eat as they have same taste as you find at back home I always enjoy their food and their friendly customer service they also make Pori halwa at the weekend it's halal and family friendly so go for it

I took my family to Aladin for iftar recently and whilst the food was delicious we had to wait around 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. We were given dates to break our fast at 9.20pm but had to wait until 9.45 for our mains. This is despite having booked our tables in advance and pre-ordered our meals. I explained to the waiter and his reply was 'brother I have been fasting too'. Other issues were to do with the fact our naans arrived later than the mains, it took the staff ages to get our drinks and refill our water and they don't accept card payments which I find ridiculous. I doubt my family will ever visit them again but if we do get a craving for their food we will definitely be ordering a take away.

Dined on several occasions and never been disappointed.Nihari, Haleem, Grill and all sort of curries whatever we had, alway amazing.

Had Nihari and Chicken korma...I can only say one thing Halaat Purani., Lush pash Haqiqi, Udham Ch$@£@$..Will eat again.

Lovely food eaten here on a few occasions now. Had the chicken karahi and lamb karahi dish and had no complaints. Customer service could be a lot better was a little slow especially as their not even that busy. But the good food will always bring me back.

The restaurant was good, food served good, overall it was a nice visit, i would recommend this Pakistan restaurant

OMG! . I felt like I was sitting back home in Karachi. Chicken Qorma was amazing. I wish I could have tried all of their dishes. Next time I am in London, I will definitely be eating there

Went there for treat from a friend. The food tasted great, like what you would expect from a cafe/restaurant in pakistan. Cleanliness needs to be addressed and so is the service style.

Okay so I'll kick off with the bad stuff, unorthodox yes but I want to save the best for the end.- Service is virtually substandard in all aspects! Funny enough I said that because the first time I went there I was thrilled by the very thing! - Atmosphere/Ambient is just better than a Kebab joint.- They don't take card payment, cash machine at the premises dispense £50 as a minimum and is usually tits up. Nearest cash machine is a good 15-18 min walk (both ways) away!- Toilet facilities aren't very well kept and poorly stocked!- No Music, No Alcohol, And No BYOB!Now the best bits!- The taste and I'd say again, THE TASTE! Certain dishes (Nihari, Karachi Korma, Haleem) taste like party in your mouth! Nihari meat literally fell off the bone! Rest is also better than bigger names i.e. the one around Commercial Road and one on Fieldgate Street. I have, since discovering this hidden gem, introduced Aladin Kebabish to many of my friends and work colleagues, they all agree that nothing beats Aladin when it comes to authentic taste! (My South Asian friends were simply swayed away in amazement)- The Value - 3-4 people and you'd spend just under £40 for a 3 course meal (portions are a little on the large size mind you)- The location - Hendon Central (Northern Line - Edgware side) is 3 bus stops away, Hendon Station (National Rail - from Kings X) at about 4 min walking distance. If you drive there for dinner you can easily find free parking at the back side of the restaurant at 2 min walking distance, during the day time parking restrictions applies but with easy payments via mobile app and @ 2.50 for 2 hours it's very acceptable.- It can save you money too! I took a couple I bought a car from to Aladin - and whilst the entire entire meal costed me £30, it saved me £100 on the car price and earned me a couple of good friends too!

We are regular customer at this Resturent from many years and my friends and family love their Nharri and haleem they served with fresh naan its family friendly Resturent and staff is very helpful I recommend this Resturent so come and have their food with fresh sweet lassi and enjoy they also do many more dishes

Having heard rave reviews about this place in West Hendon, we decided to go along on a Sunday for a late lunch to sample what we expected to be proper Pakistani cuisine. What a disappointment. First the place is rather gloomy, like an old fashioned restaurant in a village somewhere. We ordered the Haleem, Chicken Tikka, Mixed Veg Curry, Naan, a coke and a salted lassi. The lassi, which should normally be made from yoghurt, was distinctly milky - we asked the waiter who told us that it was meant to be milky and basically told us we were wrong. We complained for approx 10 mins until another waiter came over and said actually we were right and that they only served this milk based version unfortunately. We sent the drink back and waited for the food to arrive. The Haleem was a major disappointment - first and foremost, it should be served with appropriate traditional garnishes that complement the meal - we had to repeatedly ask for this to be served and it arrived in instalments. It tasted odd and we only ate a spoon of it each. The veg curry was ok, rather oily but edible. The Chicken tikka tasted as if the marinade had come from a box. Again, not bad tasting but hardly authentic food.When the time for paying came, things got interesting. Firstly I was charged for more soft drinks than had been ordered. On a busy day this error is understandable but it was a late afternoon with only two tables occupied. When I asked for a breakdown of the bill because i wanted to check before paying, i was met with attitude from the man at the till. After fussing, he gave me an itemised bill where this drinks error was noticed.Secondly, this place takes cash only BUT they dont tell you this anywhere in the restaurant - not the window, not on the menu, not on the website, not even verbally. When i produced my credit card to pay for this woefully inadequate meal, the guy on the till pointed to a tiny sign ON THE TILL ITSELF that said cash only. He then directed us to a cash point across the road which ended up charging me to take money out - only after I came back did he have the decency to tell me there is a free cash point 5 mins away! I am totally disgusted by the people and the food at this restaurant - poor quality inadequate pakistani food that doesnt even taste authentic topped off with unenthusiastic staff who treat you like you are inconveniencing them when asking for the basics. I will never go back and will actively discourage my friends and family from dining there too.

If you would like to eat an authentic Nehari, this is the place to go. I went there with a group of friends for dinner. We ordered 2 portions of Nehari. The service was very quick. When the Nehari arrived, we thought portions are too big and we won't be able to finish them but it didn't took us long finish the both portions.

Taken there for lunch, and the food was great - not had food like it, has all the usual curry house menu items, but follow the recommendations from the other reviewers and you will have great food and something you would not get the in standard UK curry house. It's not a fancy restaurant, it is a sensible place to eat with great food and really good prices - £8 at most I think it was for a main course.

I have tried and tested Nihari all over London and even manchester.This is the closest you will get to proper Nihari. Its usually busy in there and its mostly urdu speaking people from karachi. (they know what proper taste is)so if thats anything to go by then you must try it out...the korma is fantastic as well... its the traditional korma.... not the muck you get served up in other restaurants....

i been to this restaurant as it was recommended by my friends, service is really nice and their specialty is Nihari and Haleem. i drove around 20 miles and its really worth. one problem they only accept cash. they dont have bar, its proper Karachi style Nihari and Haleem
