I had an amazing time and Shahzad was a great host. The staff did not let us pack up a single thing and was very attentive. I will be back very soon! Thank you Giftos😊

Whenever we come to Southall, we love to visit Gifto’s. It’s a great place to eat.

Very efficient service, Food quality is always 10/10. Shazad is the top man at Giftos. He's the reason we keep come back.

amazing service and food, especially Shahzad Bhai

Amazing food and service... Highly recommended

Best restaurant to eat in southall area. My kids love gifto's food specially butter chicken etc

Excellent food & service #Love it

Food is amazing. Imran is very friendly

Wonderful food and service by Mr. Imran.

We have eaten here many times as it is one of the best restaurants all over South Hall. Brother Imran was a really good waiter who provided very good service.

Very nice food! Will definitely come back. Kazi served me and had amazing customer service.

Delicious freshly prepared food, great service and great value for money. My go to restaurant in Southall. I have been coming here for 20+ years need I say any more ! Highly recommend !

Great place, imran and Kazi was amazing. Always a pleasure to have them. Great food and love the service

Food was very Nice And Fish& Panir was marinated in Proper Lahori Fish Masala.Hospitality of Mr Kazi was very Nice and Complementy was a surprise as well.Must visit for Original Pakistani Taste.

Brilliant Restaurant in London truly lives up to its name. Gifto's, One of the oldest & top Pakistani restaurant in Southall, Serving the best food since 1994.

Thank you very much for a very nice food and wonderful customer service, appreciated for Kazi, he was very attentive and presented the best complimentary sweets. Wish you all the best and my highest recommendation, visit this place, you will be amazed.

We had Imran who gave us an amazing experience

Served by Kazi, wonderful experience. Very nice and friendly staff members especially Kazi.

Brother Kazi was extremely kind. The food service was really good. Thanks Giftos

Great service and food. Thank you imran for the great customer service.

The best breakfast buffet! Imran looked after us ensuring we had everything. His service was 10/10. Would deffo recommend

I’ve got food poisoning and they’re not giving my money back. I’ve been so sick after eating there food. Here’s. Picture of my vomit near the toilet

Lovely place to eat, came with family while we were travelling through. The food was tasty and well flavoured, the service was lovely and the facilities were clean. All in all, we enjoyed eating here and would recommend and go back again.

We went for breakfast had the Halal puri and keema paratha. Breakfast is reasonably priced at £8.50 for Southall in comparison to other restaurants on the Broadway. Portions were a good size however I am not sure if this is standard as we have been before and it was a lot smaller. Keema paratha wasn't great, slightly burnt and very dry. With the minor order I placed, they managed to forget my tea apart from that the service was good however it should be in my opinion as the restaurant was empty. Hence the low marking for atmosphere.

Ordered a takeaway from here and it was the most terrible scam. You would have thought paying £14 for a chicken curry would mean a good quality dish. Beg to differ when the order arrived, it was a prepackaged factory box of what was labelled as Butter Chicken but when opened and tasted, was a factory made dish of old sliced chicken mixed with a tin of tomato soup from your local supermarket. The fried vegetable rice was as if they got uncle Bens microwave packet and put that into a takeout box charging £6. The only thing fresh was the garlic naan. The sides and starters also tasted like they got them out the freezer. I would avoid going to this restaurant who uses cheap quality food and puts extortionate prices with lovely decor to trick customers to thinking they eating at a quality restaurant.

Got a delivery of chicken corn soup Serving size was ok But the soup was watery and tasteless

Food was great. Nice friendly bunch. Not too expensive too. This place is one of the original restaurants. The falooda is extremely tasty. Check it out

great food and service was very good. they were very sweet and kind. will definitely visit again 👍🏼

Best food I’ve had and good price for having a lot of family

The chicken kharai was delicious compared to the chicken jalfrezi that I found was bland. The mixed grill was not worth it for the price was very small. The afghani pilau were delicious however the carrots were more red than orange? The mango lassi was lovely and the seekh kebabs were delicious. Overall it wasnt that bad so yes I do recommend however found it a little pricey tho.

Gifto’s is a solid spot for those craving authentic Pakistani food with a bold, spicy kick. The dishes pack intense flavors and heat that will satisfy anyone looking for a true taste of South Asian cuisine. The setting is decent—not overly fancy, but comfortable enough for a casual meal. Service is efficient and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. If you’re a fan of spice and traditional flavors, Gifto’s is worth a visit!

Went to Southall for shopping and land up eating at Gifto's. Pakistani food was amazing. From the starters to the desserts, all were excellent. The falouda is just wow. Definitely it is worth a visit if you are in the region.

Here's the corrected text: "Has Gifto lost its old charm? The food was okay, but the ambiance certainly needs an uplift when there are better, glitzy, glam restaurants opening around."

Great restaurant. I attended a party here and we had a sit down meal. The food was brought hot and fresh to the table. The waiters always asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything which was great! Food was very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Giftos Lahore Karahi Southall is a go-to spot for our family, especially when it comes to celebrating special occasions. We recently hosted our child's birthday party there and had an amazing experience. Salim bhai was incredibly accommodating and helpful from start to finish. He made the entire planning process a breeze, assisting us with menu selection and even arranging free parking for our guests, which was a huge plus in Southall. The private hall upstairs was spacious and allowed us to decorate to our liking, with a convenient music system provided. There was plenty of room for everyone, including the kids who had a blast running around. The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests were raving about it. The service was exceptional, thanks to Salim bhai and his friendly team. We highly recommend Giftos Lahore Karahi Southall for any special occasion. Their delicious food, excellent service, and accommodating staff make it the perfect choice for a memorable celebration

Worst experience, traveled 30 miles, ordered the BBQ plater and charsi lamb karahi, 30£ for small plate of BBQ to burn your chest. The so called Lamb Charsi karahi has only “Karahi” was originally used to cook sheep and spices in yogurt. Feeling embarrassed before guests.

I had dinner last night and it was too good. Price is average as compared to other restaurants around but food was good

Great ambience. Service has improved, friendly staff. However the chicken and lamb kebabs arent what they once were, very spicey didn't look fresh but reheated the lamb chops were covered with masala as was the fish tikka no essence of the real grilled food. Didn't touch them after one taste, plus the fish was coly fish tasteless. As i said earlier great staff and service now but they need to stay on top of the food the product, and not cut corners with reheating kebabs. Overall average experience expected a whole lot more since they've been in business since 1968!

Dinner at Giftos in Southall was an unforgettable experience! This hidden gem serves authentic, mouth-watering Punjabi cuisine that will leave you craving more. The Sarson Ka Saag, Makki Ki Roti, and Tandoori Chicken were standouts. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and generous portions make Giftos a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic.highly recommended 👍

Bland food with the worst service. Who ordered naan bread and Dall for that to come out before biriani wick took nearly 30 mins to come.

Amazing service by everyone here. Food was delicious. Will defo be coming again. Thank you :)

came today with my family. Food was nice. Outstanding service from shehzad. :)

Kebabs were burnt dried out Chips undercooked Butter chicken sweet and did not taste like butter chicken. Papri chaat soggy and sour Dahi puri sour I had to ask for extra sauces to save the dish but unfortunately no go for me The only good thing I've had was the naan bread all the rest total waste of my 70£ meal I remember this place from years ago had amazing food unfortunate for the business. Service good the rest no go would recommend anybody to go there for that kind of money u have to pay.

Good for groups. Very consistent cooking.

Service was really good, we were a table of 15 people including a wheelchair and the team were able to offer us a spacious table. Food was also really good. Overall a pleasant experience

Amazing food and service, staff was very friendly and in whole it was a great atmosphere 👌

PLEASE SET up and SPREAD GIFTOS in London (Walthamstow/Stratford). AS I would LOVE to ATTEND REGULARLY... SO DELICIOUS AND MADLY of THOSE FOODS. Karach Kofta and Kebsb Curry, etc... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, WORTH AND VALUES.

Exquisite food and generous portion sizes. Lamb karahi is probably one of the best I've had. Tasted very buttery and rich in flavour with nicely cooked meat. Lamb and chicken seekh kebabs were really delicious too. Roghni naan was the standout for me. Only downside was that the roti wasn't good but 10/10 for everything else.

Food was absolutely bland, and found hair in Biryani we took away butter chicken that also had hair so had to throw that away too, when told the staff they didn’t even apologies just went and got another Biryani, waiters were miserable not welcoming at all. We were very disappointed overall with service, food and hygiene!!!

We had asked Gifto's to cater for a special occasion at our home. And they did a fantastic job for us. Saleem bhai and his efficient and experienced team took control of the entire catering process, from setting up (all linen, cutlery, utensils) to clear up. They left the place looking immaculate. Food was great, served hot. Thank you all!

Very good experience each and every time. Food is good service is good especially this time. Mr Kazi gave us very good and quick service. He was very respectful towards customers. Well done Kazi and Gifto. Deserves a big thank from my family. We love it.

He was realy kind the food was veeeeeery nice I wanna come here every day

Great food at great price as always. Quick service

We recently had a family celebratory dinner at Gifto’s, and I can’t express how pleased we were with the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was absolutely amazing, and the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. A special mention goes to Salim, who was incredibly attentive and ensured that everything was perfect for us. His kindness and professionalism really stood out, and he played a big part in making our celebration so memorable. The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. You can tell that a lot of care goes into both the preparation and presentation of the food. Whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just want to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend Gifto’s. We will definitely be back! Once again, a special thanks to Mr. Salim for your service. Azhar

The food is decent. I like the Kofta handi and the Roghni naan. The mixed grill is good too. I see the owner in there one day and he goes to me guess my age and you can eat for free. Me being smart I goes to him can I have 2 guesses. He goes OK. I said 65. I was being polite. He shook his head. 70?. Nah. He was 80. The guy started telling me he's got beef with his son and he will be leaving all the inheritence with his daughter's. I said Islamically that's not correct. You should divide it according to Shariah. 🙏

Staff are very helpful and kind. The food is delicious and there was no flaw at all.

Really lovely food and service was quick.

Worst place to visit. Everything is pathetic. Service is un professional, food was good but served in a pathetic manner.never recommended to anyone. Just wastage of time and money.

I had my engagement dinner at Giftos. The private hall was immaculate and the food was amazing. The waiters responsiveness was brilliant in ensuring everyone was satisfied and the service was top notch. Highly satisfied with the environment, food and service at Giftos. Special mention to Salim who organised the event and provided us with a brilliant service at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend visiting Giftos for any celebratory occasion!

I have been coming to Giftos with my family regularly for nearly two decades and I can safely say the food and hospitality never fail to impress. The staff are very friendly and helpful, in particular Mr Shahzad who always provides excellent service. He embodies the trademark of a diligent person doing his utmost best to please his customers and is part of the reason my family and I keep coming back!

Went with family for breakfast. Shahzad was very helpful in explaining the various options to the children who preferred nuggets and chips (very original :)). The adults preferred the Paratha and Omelette (Spicy and Non-Spicy were ordered). We also ordered Chai, a jug of Mango Lassi and fruit shoots for the children. Food arrived promptly, service was friendly, place was not over crowded and were able to enjoy the delicious breakfast in comfort. Lived upto expectations as I prefer the Paratha Omelette here, to other places I've been. Enjoyed a good hearty breakfast and then went for a walk on lively Southall Broadway. Also previously had traditional Halwa Puri here which is cooked fresh. I believe they normally open weekends only for breakfast at 10am although I've been here previously on a weekday and they've accommodated. Best to check though. We were there around 12-1pm which was not an issue for breakfast.

Excellent food , that is value for money in a newly refurbished restaurant. The service is prompt and courteous. Shazad keeps a close eye on needs : More desi tea ? More napkins ? An authentic experience.

Has changed it's name since the last time we came, but still the same brilliant food and excellent customer service.

Gifto has always been our go to place for desi breakfast and lunch/dinner in Southall. It reminds us of Pakistan and their staff is brilliant, courteous and humble. Their pooris are nice, crispy and not oily at all and the tawa paratha is always a hit with us. However last time, the cholay wala salan was not exactly halwa poori wala salan, and felt more like a curry. Even the halwa was not upto the mark, previously these used to be quite good. We also found great improvement in their karak desi tea. Inquiring with one the staff members, they said it might have been due to a recent change in their chefs. We love their roghni naan - coated with sesame seeds and its one of their classics from the Tandoor. Wishing the team at Giftos, all the best and hoping to come back here for more improved taste and cuisine. Thanks.

Excellent Indian food, and very friendly staff, we were served by Kazi, he is very friendly and professional.

We had good service MR Jabar served us well helped us with the parking and the food was nice too

We ordered chicken Karahi, Lahori Chanay and Harrisa. I would say Harrisa was the only thing we really liked out of all the dishes we ordered. The roghani naan is not authentic. For Roghani naan they need to find the actual recipe. They simply served us the plain khamiri roti with butter on top. Karahi is supposed to be bit dry. It was handi which they served us. They definitely need to work out on menu as its not authentic. Sitting arrangements also need improvement as it was too warm inside.

Amazing food and great service from Imran.

Food was lovely. Our server Imran was incredible, he gave us excellent recommendations and looked after us during our stay.

Loud hot food lovely and welcomed quick service and food delivery.

Kazi was exceptional. Great customer service and made it a good experience.

Delicious food, and Imran our server was excellent

Excellent food every time. Always exceptional customer service, superb and authentic food. Never dissapoint. Kazi was Excellent as usual.

Went giftos after a good 10 years! Had the papri chaat, butter chicken and Haleem. Everything was very tasty and the portion size was good. Imran was very helpful

We tried their chicken handi and malai tikka. It was so yummy. With top class service and management they managed to cater everyone perfectly with so much crowd.and last shout out to Saleem bhai in their management such a nice man.

Imran gave us excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

One of the best reataurant in Southall, and definitely the best service and care by the host Mr. Shehzad himself.

We recently visited Gifto's on a trip to Southall. We had Nihari, Lamb Biryani and Mix Grill for take away. The Nihari was ok. Lamb Biryani was very good and Mix grill was also good. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the service was very good too. Overall a satisfactory visit for dinner.

Ordered the lamb nihari with garlic naan & kabuli pilaou. Both were very nice, nihari was especially flavoursome. For dessert, ordered the kulfi falooda which was good and gajrela which was exceptionally great value for money at £2.50.

Beautiful food , lovely service

Afzaal is very very kind his service is very good he is the best so far I have met in this group 😃👏🏻

The dhal makhani is terrible. And the naan is so doughy.

Each & every single thing was amazing. Had a very good memorable experience,food was excellent.I highly recommend this restaurant.

We hired out the upstairs venue for an engagement party and were under the supervision of Salim. Salim went over and beyond to help the event become a success. He was attentive and very efficient. The food was excellent, the service from Salim and his waiters was incredible. Our guests were very happy. A huge thank you!

Poor quality of food, bland, tasteless. Poor service. Avoid at all costs, we even had a stomach infection.

It was a complete waste. Worse food ever in a restaurant. Even a week old home food from the freezer is better than this food. Barbecue is complete waste of money. Neat and clean place to sit but food is not good at all. If you really want to go to Gifto Lahori then use their facilities and order food from outside( if option available). New toilets which are very neat and clean. I wish if their food was good too. I have given this feedback to them so that they can provide good food for future customers.

Worst place I ever visited. staff members are rude. No proper service. Food quality is not good. Have no respect for customers. No on time service provided. Avoiding customer, long time wait, not so welcoming staff.

Pitiful service, dishes left by the waiter then didn't even come back to ask us if everything was ok. We ordered drinks to drink straight away and they arrived 15 minutes apart between the 2 orders. The butter chicken was good but the fried rice was not good at all. I ordered a cheese naan, I got a pizza crust with melted cheese on top. We didn't even want to eat! I won't go back there again!

Perfect family meal for Eid. Food was superb, with quick service and amazing staff who were very attentive

Nice food good service and good price.

Gifto’s southall , decent place for some Pakistani breakfast, the minced meat nan bread could have been better in terms of taste , the Pratha(oil based flatbread) and egg were good , the chaat was just ok Overall an ok place for a quick bite

Wil always like go there as I love it the food was just right and tasty

Food was served uncooked, lamb meat was absolutely not fresh and aged, it even smelled bad. Chicken was not fresh as frozen pizza toppings were used. I hate to leave negative reviews for businesses but hope this will bring awareness to their chefs and kitchen staff.

Great family atmosphere... food was good and fairly priced... staff were really kind too. I would like to take this opportunity to address to the owners that they should stop selling Coca-Cola because it funds the war in Palestine. Coca-Cola should be boycotted... Allah will give you more blessings.. thankyou

When it comes to Magaz Masala, Gifto has truly mastered the art. As I savoured their brain masala, I felt like I was unravelling a secret recipe passed down through generations. 1. Flavour Symphony: The Magaz Masala danced on my taste buds—a harmonious blend of spices, textures, and nostalgia. It’s not just a dish; it’s an ode to tradition. 2. Texture Magic: The brain, tender and melt-in-your-mouth, absorbed the masala like a sponge. Each bite revealed layers of complexity—a symphony of cumin, coriander, and warmth. 3. Authenticity: Gifto doesn’t compromise on authenticity. 4. Memories Rekindled: As I wiped my plate clean, memories of family gatherings, laughter, and shared meals flooded back. In summary, if you’re seeking the pinnacle of Magaz Masala perfection, head to Gifto. Your taste buds will thank you. 😘🌟
