Giftos Lahore Karahi in Ealing

I had the pleasure of booking Gifto’s Catering for my wedding, and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and service. Brother Saleem was exceptionally supportive and ensured everything ran smoothly, contributing greatly to the success of the event. The food was a highlight for many of our guests. I would highly recommend Gifto’s Catering for any special occasion – their professionalism and attention to detail are truly commendable.

Stopped by for early dinner, seated in a nice booth as per usual, order taken quickly and drinks brought out very fast. Food arrived all together and was amazing. Fresh Naan and Masala chips for sides, waiters checking to make sure you have everything or need more drinks which is great. Been coming since I was 6 and will continue, see you soon for my 26th!

Good food. Good venue for events

The staff at Gifto were truly exceptional, creating a memorable and enjoyable birthday party event with their attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable service, making me and my family members feel like a valued guest Special thanks To Mr Salim the manager

We hosted a big family dinner for a party of 35 adults + kids at Giftos and the food and service was fantastic. Giftos' management team and staff did everything to meet our needs - their service was efficient and all the food was delicious. The Giftos menu offers a large variety of Pakistani food options so all our guests were very happy with their meals. We highly recommend Giftos as one of the best Pakistani restaurants in London and we look forward to visiting again soon!

We had party of 80 people on 2/4/25,food and service was very good under the supervision of Mr Saleem.I would highly recommend.Thanks very much for making the occasion memorable.

My friend and I came here to eat for Eid, but the experience was extremely disappointing. We waited 10 minutes just to be seated and another 20 minutes to be served, only to be told after all that time that they were only offering a buffet for £30 per person. The buffet itself was tiny and definitely not worth the price. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else. A total waste of time—definitely won’t be coming back.

I had a such a nice time with my family last night . Salim Bhai was just amazing so helpful with all the staff and food was just amazing. I love the Lamb karahi and Haleem . I definitely love to go again ❤️

I have been to Gifto many times and each time I found the taste and quality of food better and better . Last night I had a buffet with my family and had such a quality time in a friendly atmosphere with delicious food . All the staff was very friendly and helpful specially the manger Salim Bhai . I would love to go again ♥️

It was wonderful place for dine in . I have been there many times, it’s at South hall London UK

Upon arriving I had to wait 5 mins at the door before someone tended to me. Not end of the world. Wasn't overly busy. Last time I went to this place it was a very very long time ago. Perhaps 15 years prior. From what I remebe it was okay. Boy was I wrong! I hate wasting food and I will always do a takeaway where possible but this is the first time I left all the food and took away nothing! So the table service was okay was seated. Did have to wait at times for extra drinks. Also noticed other tables around me having ro out their hands up to get attention. Never a good sign for me. Ordered the mixed grill. Was average. The mutton chops were a little tough with pretty thick fat on outside. Mutton tikka was okay. Bit tough. Chicken wasn't great with not much flavour. The kebabs also not great. All in all the mix grill was a 4/10 due to flavours and quality of ingredients. The chilli paneer was dreadful. Worst I ever had. Tough and hard. Flavour was not great too. 2/10. The paapadi chaat was terrible. Watery yoghurt, hardly any flavours. Not great at all. 3/10 The main was a karahi lamb. This was the nail in the coffin and this dish really upset me and bought me to my senses of what I was eating and the quality of the food overall. The lamb was mutton and the amount of fat and grsitle in the dish was crazy. I'm talking actually chunks and cubes of hard fat! How do you expect you guests to eat that?! I'm sorry if you are a fan of this and actually like it but absolutely no way I could eat that. I understand you need fat and bone for flavour but should not be in your dish for consumption in my opinion. We left pretty much everything untouched. I asked to pay the bill. The waiter came to take payment. I asked him aren't you going to ask how everything was and why there is pretty much everything still left on take table? He then asked and I provided my feedback. I showed him the quivering chunks of fat balanced on a spoon. I asked his if he would eat that to which he shamefully responded 'no' He took the karahi to the chefs and although I could not hear what he was saying his body language and face suggested he was gesturing and explaining to the chefs. The manager was near by and overheard and headed over to my table. He sat and listened. I provided all my feedback. He was honest and apologised. He offered fresh batches and alternative dishes but I was not interested as I don't think it was going to be any better. I was surprised with his confession on the paneer by saying it was prepped the day before by frying and putting in the fridge. His justification was that his Indian vegetarian customer loved it and always asked for me! I said the only good thing I ate here today was the garlic naa . He put his hand on his chest and was very proud and greatful of this compliment but he kinda missed the point that out of everything I ate in the day this was sadly the only acceptable thing I was able to consume with satisfaction. He asked what I wanted. I said nothing. Charge what you like. He took £12 off the bill. Should have been half in my opinion as I pretty much left everything. Well it was an experience and sadly a bad one. I will never go here again and I woukd never reccomend this place to anyone. Thanks for your efforts and hope you take on board this feedback

I did an event and Salim was my events planner to speak to - the event overall went well - had a few bumps which were caused by the employees but Salim jumped in and assured me everything would be good and ran a smooth event. This is my second year using giftos as a venue to host an Iftar and he was amazing and truly organised and had an amazing way to keep everyone calm.

I can't remember the last time I ate so well.

This is one of the best places for Karahi. Very authentic and amazing food

You guys really should be ashamed of yourselves. In Ramadan you treat peoples food the way you do In shaa Allah, Allah will deal with you

"I've been visiting Gifto's for many years, and it was once a restaurant that attracted many loyal customers. Unfortunately, things have changed. The food has lost its flavor, and the overall quality has declined. Sadly, it’s no longer a place I would recommend."

The food is here is absolutely divine. The flavours are always on point. I've tried most of the popular/highly rated dishes and myself and my family do an ubereats order atleast once a week even though we have to pay more for delivery as we are located slightly out of the way. What I like the most is that they don't throw bucket loads of oil into the food like other Indian/Pakistani restaurants. I have too many favorite dishes to name but a few are the lamb biriani, lamb chops and bhuna chicken. The keema naan is also legendary! It has the most generous layer of keema that it's almost like a burger made of naan

We go there for halwa puri and it never disappoints. Good service with friendly staff.

Came to Giftos from far away. After hearing lots of good things I thought I'd try it. Friendly waiters. I ordered lamb curry and Parathas. At first the taste was ok nothing special if I'm very honest. But it didnt appear fresh. Great waiter service who were very good. However now I have an awful stomach. Regular tummy cramps and been on the toilet all night and morning non stop. Clearly the food is not fresh at all. The curry sauce did not taste fresh. I had eaten nothing all day and that was the only food I had eaten. Hygiene I noticed was extremely poor and the place is not clean. I dont think I'll be returning any time soon my stomach is still bad and I have work later too.

Best Indian food in London - for quality and value for money. Discovered this restaurant 20 years ago and never been disappointed - don't expect a very refined and delicate atmosphere or service but to be honest this is part of the experience 😁 love it

First time at Gifto’s and had the Gifto's Special Family Mixed Grill, Karahi Chicken and Butter Naan. Food was delicious and the mixed grill was huge! Very welcoming and attentive service even though it was a busy Sunday evening.

We had a lovely dinner at Giftos in Southall. As always, Shahzad was very quick and attentive, and ensured our order was prepared as per our liking.

We celebrated my grandsons Aqeeqah at Gifto’s in the hall above the restaurant. Everyone of our guests loved the ambience, the food and the service that was provided by the staff and Mr Saleem, the manager. He ensured that everyone had been served and that food was in abundance. Thank you so much Giftos for making our event a memorable one.

Have eaten at giftos multiple times and the food is very, very tasty with good service also. We had Giftos cater for our 40 person funtion yesterday. Salim helped us organise a menu which everyone loved. The quality of the food and the portions were excellent. The delivery and packaging of the food was very good and on time. The food was clearly labelled and arrived hot. Eveeyone was talking about how good the food was. My only suggestion is to maybe order less portions if you have multiple dishes as mashallah the portions are very generous. We had ordered chaat, veg samosas, chicken tikka, seekh kebabs, chiken jalfrezi, saag ghosht, mattar paneer, pullao rice, butter naan, and tandoori roti. It came with lots of salad, and chilli sauce and a mint sauce. Thank you Salim and all the chefs at Giftos

Kazi gave us excellent service would strongly recommend coming here.

Always went here on our trip to Southall, however getting expensive and food getting tasteless. About time our trip stops here. Will look to go to other restaurants now.

Everything was amazing and the service was with a smile. The Sunday morning buffet was reasonably priced and top notch food.

Ordered on Uber Eats. Biryani so dry, the meat so tough, and the mint chutny so salty. Im sad.

This is one of the best Pakistani restaurants in London.

Solid fantastic food every time I have been here, one of the best Pakistani restaurants you’ll find anywhere in London. Highly recommended.

As I have visited Giftos in Dubai many times I decided to try out the original restaurant when in London. I found the both the food and the service to be excellent. The portions were huge, meat dishes enough for at least two and one rice portion would serve four. We took away enough food tor the following day. Great value for money.

I celebrated my 21st birthday at this restaurant hall, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The service was 10/10, with Salim going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The food was amazing!!!, and the hotel management team was truly the absolute best. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Everything is 5 star. We have going there for years and usually get served by Shehzad. Get top class service.

Had Lamb Karahi + nan, Excellence in every way.

We have been going to this restaurant for years very good service but yesterday we as family of 5 went there again this food was not Same as be4 at all I think new management rast of food was completely different and over priced especially the mixed grill n chickens very horrible was rubbish and now will not be going any more im a afraid ! Spice village

Too expensive for breakfast. Not worth it. taste is just average but prices are skyrocket.

Very Good Asian Restaurant in London Best Service by Shazad Bhai

Great authentic Pakistani food. Jay Verified

Amazing Sunday breakfast buffet. Good quality and selection. Extremely filling. Shazad was very attentive and accommodating. Thank you so much, will definitely be back again

Your counter girl is very talkative and has no sense of speaking as to how to behave with customers and riders. So owner please keep this in mind. Thank you.

Great food and good service but it lacked atmosphere. Restaurant needs to refurb up to their neighbours standard to attract more customers.

I would not even give 0 star to you guys for your poor service, we are pure veg and order veg chilli paneer and few other items but you guys sent us chilli chicken instead and when I phoned you, you guys have the guts to say very rudely that it is paneer as If i am not human and can’t tell the different between the two. Have some guts to accept your mistake.

A good place to have Pakistani food. We had their buffet breakfast which was very good. Had tea included which was a good surprise.

Food and service was fantastic ❤️❤️… Especially thanks for mr KAZI.

Jaafar uncle is so small and good man that opens the door for customers and the food rating is an 5 star you lot should come here more often

This is, without a doubt, the finest Pakistani restaurant I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. A true cornerstone of London’s vibrant Pakistani culinary scene, it delivers exceptional quality on all fronts. The dishes are bursting with rich, authentic flavors, the staff are warm and attentive, and the lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough—it has truly set the standard for Pakistani cuisine in the city.

Kazi was great with service and was very efficient and friendly. Our food was on point as was his service

Kazi was very polite and helpful.

Good good nice service shout out mr.kazi

We had Kazi as our server, and he constantly kept checking in with us and making sure we weren't missing anything !
