Went here last night with a friend. Ordered the Seekh kebab. Couple of hours later, stomach cramps started, followed by diarrhoea. Will never go here again.

A family meal to celebrate my birthday, we didn't notice the singing type of Cider on the drinks menu, and so I popped next door to by my son a Cider as he doesn't like lager, as soon the manager saw it he came over and said my son couldn't drink that and they sell copperburg, it was one can and the manager tried to make such a song and dance about it, we really should have walked out in hindsight, but we were sat down and we were hungry, the food was nothing more than average, a bit on the bland side to be honest, the bowls of rice came out late and there didn't seem to be any interest from the staff, this place is definitely not what it was a few years ago the new owners and staff just don't seem interested in weather the customers are happy and satisfied, the hole experience cost me over £110, I'm not sure if this is value for money but we came away thinking, let's not go there again. ( extremely underwhelming)

An impromptu dinner on site at The Karahi Punjabi. Great easy parking. Clean and fast service. Food was true Punjabi style and amazing. We had the chicken saag and keema peas with butter roti’s. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Actually ordered a takeaway and no complementary sauce or salad with starter's for the money charged.Seekh kebab all I could tast was salt & grit. Chicken tikka masala full of sugar & cream.The only plus side was the Nan. If you want Authentic experience then look elsewhere.

After being hugely disappointed with the dishoom restaurant we tried this one. Absolutely fantastic. Much more varied menu than the Dishoom. Food portions were huge and everything tasted fantastic. The staff were very friendly and the owner/manager (not sure which) was a lovely gentleman who made our experience very pleasurable and we felt very welcome there. Absolutely will eat there again.

Absolutely hopeless food and miserable service. Very unclean. We have been to several places in Hounslow and this was a big disappointment. No deserts available in a family restaurant. Food wasn’t cooked well. Spoons were visibly dirty. Staff was not interested in taking the order. Noodles were worse than homemade Maggie. Curries were pathetic. I’m big foodie and so highly advise Don’t Go!!!There are better places to go.

Hello there To be very honest the butter chicken I ordered through this restaurant was terrible taste. I think the chef doesn't know what butter chicken taste like. Advise To the manager Mate every customer is not European. People come here from different parts of the world remember that. And some know how the butter chicken taste's. Stop fooling people.wont work that for long time. Cheers

This time, the service was really bad (rude waiters, very slow service, have to ask again and again). Usually, the manager who is running the restaurant that day feels he has to be really arrogant, act like 'I'm in charge'. They think they're in India, with that superior 'rob' (punjabi word). It means bossy superiority. It is unprofessionally run, from the diner's point of view. Simple idea: only one waiter or waitress should deal with a particular table. that's what the best restaurants do. One waiter looks after our table. The food was average. Previous times, the food at least was good. The food quality is hit and miss. You have to cross your fingers or stop coming. Do they have a new chef? Or different chefs, some good some bad? This place could be great. But it feels like they're not bothered. They need to remember, people come here to have a nice time.

Ordered collection of Butter chicken, Mixed grill and kebab roll. The butter chicken really didn’t taste like butter chicken. Rang the restaurant they were polite and said we can replace. Decided to have lamb Karahi instead. The sauce in there tasted like the one in butter chicken. We use to love their food, definitely not as tasty as use to be. This is a shame as before we use to order and eat in a number of times. Staff are polite. Get the old chef back.

Went with Seven friends to this popular restaurant in Hounslow West. The restaurant was clean and busy when we arrived. Service was good and the staff very polite. The food was amazing, tasty, authentic and large portions. The curries are not made the same as every other Indian you may be used to and are more traditional to the punjaab. What we got was really tasty, and highly flavoured dishes. Everything came hot and together and all my friends thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was slightly pricy but the quality of the dishes made it worth it! We will be returning….. very soon!!

Place is so dirty that I wanted to leave but my daughter asked me to stay, service is far the worst I vê had , waiter ignored me many times while passing near our table, didn’t ask if we wanted anything to drink and clearly did not want to serve us but happily would chat and attend someone that speaks the same language as her . She was rude and unprofessional. Food was terrible, ginger chicken tasted exactly like the sauces you buy from the supermarkets, rice was overpriced and didn’t taste nice . When I got home I started to feel unwell and took a Covid test and I have tasted positive. I believe I got it due to this dirty place where they they touch the meat with their hands . Place stinks , no atmosphere and extremely dirty. I won’t be coming here ever again

Incredibly disappointed today as I had a reservation for a birthday booked in advance, called 10 minutes before to confirm booking and booking was confirmed over the phone. Upon arrival we were informed that there is no booking, bookings are not currently being taken and we must wait in the queue. After waiting in the torrential rain in a social distanced queue we decided to leave. We should not have been told we have a booking when we have not, this was the first time our family of 7 was going out after lockdown and we were looking forward to it. Will not be returning as this is unacceptable.

I ordered some food for take away.3 lamb kebabs2 full tandoori chickens2 Karahi paneerIt was a take away order to add to some North Indian food being cooked at home.I arrived to the restaurant to see it was very well presented. The surface areas were continually being clean and staff were wearing masks and there was a queue system being adhered to. My first impressions were positive. As soon as I paid the bill for my takeaway order, the food was brought out foil wrapped and very hot and fresh. I reached my parents home where a small celebration was being hosted and well, what can I say other than, well done to Karahi Express.The food was fantastic and very well received. The lamb kebabs were cooked to perfection. The tandoori chicken was tender, beautifully cooked and delicious. The Karahi paneer also excellent.I was provided some very nice chutneys and a salad at no cost which accompanied the food wonderfully.I cannot vouch for the other reviews from others, the conspiracy theorist inside me would suggest they are an attempt from rivals to denigrate this excellent restaurant.If you want genuine, first class tandoori Indian food, try this place yourself. If a take away order is this good, I will most certainly be trying for some in-dining at the restaurant in the near future.10/10

We had a terrible experience with this place. Choose a different restaurant. Don’t waste your time. The food took more than 1 hour to be served. We complained several times and the only excuse was: the food is not prepared in the microwave or we are busy. Waiters and what I believe was the owner was not even apologising for the delay. They really don’t care about customers because the restaurant was full. We saw 3 tables complaining exactly with the same issue.Terrible experience. Zero recommendation.Bad customer experience and bad attitude from waiters and owner (manager).

Ordered from here and had a terrible experience. The food was 45 minutes late but it was also completely incorrect. They added in someone else’s order, left out our samosas, naan bread and gave us the wrong lamb dish! When we called to tell them we got told to hold multiple times and we’re eventually hung up on! The driver brought back only what was missing but did not correct the lamb dish. Terrible service and the food is very average at best.

I went there today 12th October 2019 and was so incensed with the quality of the food that I had to write this review as soon as I got home. I Went there for a family meal with my wife and children. Ordered starters and drinks. When they arrived even though I'd only ordered 2 starters only 1 arrived. Okay fair enough mistakes happen and as we got full on the mixed grill so let it pass and had it taken off the bill. At the same time we had ordered 3 drinks and only 2 arrived but this time I insisted on the missing drink. Finally the main course of the 2 chicken curries,rice and 3 naans arrived 'COLD'. Apologies the rice was the hottest thing, but then again how difficult is it to heat rice! I complained to the waiter and asked him to taste for himself and he agreed it was cold. He then bought out the 're-heated chicken' and instead of bringing fresh naans slightly re-heated the same ones which were by now even harder than when they first came out. I've been going to this restaurant for the last 20 years or so, and on each visit have seen a steady decline in standards and the prices increasing. Today I told the owner this was my final visit. He tried to placate me by offering us free desert even after telling me he'd witnessed everything. However at no time did he intervene to rectify the situation or offer guidance to his staff. Even after paying the bill there was no offer of a discount to make up for the terrible condition the food arrived in both from the waiter or the owner. I'm so disappointed that this pioneering restaurant's standards have fallen to this level. I will never ever go back there again.Ps. Special thanks to Karahi Express in Hounslow for ruining my birthday celebrations with my family!

We hadn't been to Karahi Express for about 8 months and sadly the place has changed and not in a good way, we had to que which has never been a problem in the past but none of the staff even acknowledged us for 15 minutes, the layout has been totally changed and the food preparation area is now at the back of the building and not at the front where people would delight in watching the chief and his staff cooking all the dishes, no we found ourselves sitting in a restaurant that was only half way through its refurbishment with loose wires and hanging from an unfinished ceiling, holes in the walls and floors and no skirting boards, the service was pretty poor probably because there aren't enough waiters, the plates and cutlery were literally just thrown onto our table, you get the absolute bare minimum when they brought out the popadoms, no onion salad or lime pickle, then we received half the starters the rest coming with the mains which were sadly not as good as we remembered having the last time we visited, sadly we've now decided not to use Karahi Express any more as it's gone so far done hill.

We came here as a family on Saturday night (due to other restaurants in the area being fully booked) and it was absolutely appalling service. The restaurant is so ridiculously loud that you can barely hear yourself let alone anyone else speak. Worse there are only two guys that can apparently take your order but they are constantly busy manning the takeaway counter so it take you at least 30 mins before anyone will come to take your order. The food took forever to come and whilst it did taste ok/nice we found a hair in it. Overall whilst the food was ok the general experience of dining here completely ruins your evening and just leaves you feeling drained.

Tuve la chuletas de cordero para empezar, muy bueno. Mi esposa tenía el pollo Jalfrezi y tuve el pollo Karachi. Pedimos el tamaño ya nos habían advertido que el jacuzzi estaba muy caliente. Ambos eran excelentes. Teníamos un par de arroz y pan roti. Sin duda regresaríamos cuando en la zona.

Fuimos para el almuerzo los domingos 1:00 pm pero parecía el restaurante no puede ser abierto, ya que el personal realmente no puedo decir mucho cuando entramos.

Too oily food. More oil than actual food. We asked for some salad - was charged for it! Billed us for something we didn't order, which was corrected in the end. There are better restaurants in the vicinity, trust me!

After being a regular at the Hayes branch I thought the same standard would be throughout. Couldn't have been more wrong! Starter of chicken tikka was lovely, succulent and tasty and I couldn't wait for the next course. I ordered chicken dhansak which had no taste to it and tasted more like chicken korma, couldn't eat it! The chicken tikka masala my friend ordered was very bland and had no taste. Menu said medium spicy and there was no spice at all! We also ordered a keema nann, never seen anything like it! Thin and crispy and was more like a pizza, again very bland with no taste. The draught cobra beer was flat so overall was a huge disappointment and won't be going back there again!!

Having had a fantastic visit to the Wasps/Exeter chiefs game at Twickenham what was needed before our travels back to Devon was a fantastic, authentic curry. Having passed through west Hounslow on the sat nav route in, we thought that would be our area of choice-we were not disappointed!As you enter the restaurant you pass the chefs toiling away behind transparent screens, and you get an immediate sense of authenticity and freshness. The setting itself is basic but practical, as the turn over is swift and efficient. The food was absolutely faultless, onion bhaji, seekh kebabs, mixed grill, lamb tikka, chilli paneer, malai chicken, ally parohta, garlic naan, saag, mutter allu...... and a demo of how to eat the pani puri (although not really sure what it actually contained!)The main man, was helpful, knowledgeable and funny, especially as one of our party was a no spice man....Lovely big cold tiger and kingfisher beer, a delicious mango lassi, water on the tables, and fresh chutneys. We ate our fill, and for £25/head which did include copious beers, and a generous tip it was very reasonable.As we were leaving, three young travellers were undecided outside, and we did not hesitate to recommend it, hopefully their visit was as fulfilling as ours. If you are looking for a curry, stop here without hesitation!

Picked up 4 lamb rolls and 2 chicken tikka rolls for take out. Took about 25 mins to make, but it didn't really seem like anything special unfortunately. The people who ate the lamb rolls, really enjoyed them, but the chicken tikka was dry and not very flavourful. Maybe it was an off day for them.

A fabulous restaurant great tasting food but they could try not to use ghee in their food.The dishes are self catered to your taste and that is how they will cook them. Am used to having nice hot food and know my taste buds well and experience from home cooking and my own cooking.If you ask for hot and spicy food one should not expect a sprinkle of chili powder at the end or a plate of green chilies. This place cooks traditionally so expect good taste.Not very vegan friendly you have to specifically ask for the dish how you want it cooked and they will cater it for you in the manner you wish to eat.

We've been to Karahi express many times and found it to offer satisfying Punjabi cuisine. The Grills are very good and they can make food as hot as you like. The karahi dishes are good too, served with lovely fluffy garlic naan. Perfect for a casual night out with BYOB, provided you don't mind smelling like tadka after.

After a busy day in Hounslow, we decided to stop here for lunch as me and my parents were very hungry. The restaurant is has very bright colours so it is easy to find amongst busy shops not far from Hounslow West Underground station. Inside you can see the open kitchen clearly visible with the tandoori oven and Karahis so you can see that the food is freshly prepared and made. Seating and tables arrangements are good together with a small bar and a few customer toilets at the back, which is one downside. At the time of our arrival, it was not very busy and there were a only 2 waiters serving us and other customers. We ordered our food and within half an hour it arrived. We had a main course of some garlic naan and tandoori Paratha with Chicken Methi and Chana Masala to share between the three of us. The food was tasty and quite feeling but it was dry, had so much oil and was very spicy. It was a good thing that my parents had some sweet tangy mango sauce as well as natural yogurt that is served on each table and that I myself ordered a mango shake that is very sweet, creamy and tasty and that helped quench the heat of our food. We went in expecting the very best but sadly on this occasion, it was not to be. Hopefully, food quality should improve over time. This restaurant does takeaway as well and if you like the last of your meal but can not finish it, just kindly ask the staff and they will be happy to put it in a container for you. People with certain food allergies need to stay away or be extra cautious as they cook with certain ingredients such as nuts in their food. Always let me know before you oder your food. Price is what you expect from most if not all restaurants, but if you prefer hot and spicy food of any kind then try eating here when you happen to be in the west side of Hounslow. Our overall experience is average but could of been much better.

We have had several great takeaway meals from this place but have never had a sit down meal inside. The takeaways have always been excellent. Great Portions and tasty food. Cannot really fault it but if any negative it would maybe be that the parking here is at a real premium and can be very difficult. Having said all of that we would certainly come here and buy food again.

The meal is freshly prepared and served hot. Meat well done as one would like. Portion size is great too. The only downside that for someone who know their food, serving Dal Tadka (as chana dal) which is a cheaper alternative to Toor dal. It is not much about the price I am sure but for somethings one should not go away from traditions and indulge in experiments.

This place seems to have changed over time; although the main usp as one of the only places to serve meat dishes in hounslow west (most are veggie) quality has dipped. Subsequent trips quality and service have become worse and the 'authentic' feel has gone. Few dodgy looking staff choices too.

Came here a month ago and was really happy to come back here again to indulge in the authentic Indian cooking experience the kitchen is open therefore you can see you meal being cooked from fresh if you wish.There were only three other Caucasians in the place which is testament to the authentic taste. Great atmosphere I will be back

My colleague deceived to take us to this place. The service was fine. It was a bit difficult to understand the waiter at times. I ordered methi paneer and garlic nan. When it arrived I could not believe the amount of oil my dish was swimming with. I had to carefully remove the paneer and methi out squeezing the oil out. The other thing that was very odd was that our main dishes arrived about five minutes before the naans. Great shame. Give this one a miss.

Basic restaurant - but the food we had was sensational, full of fresh spices and herbs one of the best curries I've had in a long while. Service was excellent and the view into the cooking area highly entertaining. Highly recommended if you're after a good value for money feed without the airs and graces of a fancy restaurant.

Been going to this restaurant for a few years now. The quality of the food has always been high. I really recommend the mixed grill starter, butter chicken and garlic naan. Great value for money, with the option of bringing your own alcohol makes for a really enjoyable night. I would advise booking ahead as it can get busy really quickly.

Received an unsolicited call from this place claiming to be from Three. Guy hung up on me so I phoned back. Same guy said I wasn't speaking English and hung up again. Phoned back and a different guy answered asking if I wanted curry. Suspect they have a side business phishing.
