KHAAO - CAMDEN LOCK in Camden

Had seen some trending reels for this place but our experience here was a mere disappointment. Tried the lamb shish kebabs naan melts but it was nothing but frozen kebabs topped with some sauce and loads of bread. The masala chai along was served cold. Not at all recommended for the steep price paid for.

The cheese naans at this place are definitely worth trying, as they rank among the best in town. During my visit last week, I ordered the Chicken Malai naan, and I found it to be delicious, with a well-balanced mix of spices. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful meal!

We tried the paneer one and loved it!

Staff lovely, the samples where great and the food just as expected. 👌👌👌

This is amazing naan - one of the best stores at Camden market. Try this

Absolutely delicious food and friendly service. Seems expensive but is very filling so well worth the price! I had the chicken masala naan melt and thoroughly enjoyed it, and they were relatively quick given how busy it was which was good for me as I was on my lunch break. Will definitely be back again!

I ordered the paneer masala naan, honestly, the paneer tasted a bit bitter. I didn’t quite like the taste of the masala, lots of cheese which was good. Service was prompt.

We were out to see camden market and came across the many food stalls, we saw this place and thought it was a very special and different combi. But we were pleasantly surprised, you get a lot of food for the money and it tastes really delicious! VERY greasy, so you have to be picky. But the taste and quality are super delicious!

Best nans ever, you can't beat I've had all the flavours

The food is legitimately tasty and of high quality. Everyone loves naan wraps, and these are the OGs of Camden. Love their sauces (so fresh), and their mango lassis are incredible, especially in warmer months (it's like a milkshake!).

Hidden gem in Camden for desi food lovers. Tried the Malai Chicken and the Masala Chicken, best among the foods that I've tried. One of the best Chai spot. Had a long wait in the queue for a smell of the food but definitely worth every second and penny. Definitely recommendable. Vegetarian food lovers need to check out their Paneer Masala.., Yummy😋

Khaao - Camden Lock offers a fresh and exciting twist on Karachi street food. Their unique take on traditional dishes, served as cheesy naan melts and paratha-tacos, truly sets them apart in the vibrant Camden food scene. Food: The food at Khaao is packed with flavor and creativity. I started with the Chicken Malai Melt, and it was incredible! The chicken was slow-cooked to tender perfection, covered in a creamy, mildly spiced sauce, all served inside a cheesy naan that brought everything together in a satisfying bite. The Paneer Tikka Masala Melt was another standout—flavorful cubes of paneer cooked with herbs and spices, perfectly complementing the naan and the tangy tamarind chutney on the side. I have been to this place many times, so for me, it's hard to say which is the best. Every time, I tried new one. Every food here is a delightful experience, crafted to please the palate and satisfy the senses. From savory dishes to sweet treats, each option boasts unique flavors and textures that create a culinary adventure.

Whether it’s a hearty meal or a light snack, the skillful preparation and presentation make each dish stand out. With such a diverse selection, every bite is sure to leave a lasting impression, making every food the best choice here. For something a bit different, I tried the Paneer Parataco Melt—two mini paratha-tacos filled with melted mozzarella, paneer masala, and pickled onions. The combination of cheesy goodness with the well-spiced paneer was a perfect balance, offering a fresh and fun twist on traditional Indian flavors. If you're looking for a hearty meal, their Chicken Masala Curry with Pilau Rice is a great choice. The chicken was flavorful and tender, and the pilau rice was fluffy and fragrant, making it a comforting and satisfying dish. I also loved their Masala Fries, which had just the right amount of spice to make them addictive, and their crispy Onion Bhaaji, which were perfectly fried and not too greasy. Atmosphere: Khaao fits perfectly within the Camden Lock Market vibe—vibrant, casual, and full of energy. The location is perfect for a quick, flavorful meal while exploring Camden. The food is served from a bright, eye-catching stall, and there’s ample seating nearby to enjoy your meal while soaking in the lively atmosphere of the market. Service: The service at Khaao is fast and friendly, which is ideal for a quick bite during a day out in Camden. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and more than happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences. Conveniently located in Camden Lock, this is the perfect spot to grab a unique, flavorful bite while exploring the bustling area. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Khaao offers a great escape from typical street food with their creative Indian fusion dishes. Overall, Khaao - Camden Lock is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious, flavorful street food with a creative twist. With options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing great quality with amazing taste..

Cheesy Naan Melts at Camden Market is a must-try. The naan was fresh, warm, and perfectly crispy, with a generous amount of meat , flavorful cheese inside. The combination of textures and flavors is simply irresistible. Quick service, great value, and an unforgettable snack! I'll be stopping by every time I'm in Camden.

Went there yesterdays with my wife and we tried paneer rice and chicken malai melts which is really good and looking forward to go next time..

It was really a great fusion of vibrant flavors and cheesy comfort. I just loved the cheesy naan melts, loaded with fillings like creamy chicken Malai, was a delicious revelation. And pairing it with a hot chai was my perfect lunch. I will surely be there time and again😍 Highly recommended!

Perfect blend of spices. Delicious food with reasonable price. Great deal at a place like Camden.

1. Food I ordered a malai chicken cheese naan and it was really good. I also got the chips and they were seasoned nicely and I figured that they could’ve used a bit of sauce on the side. Coke was just the standard of all cokes so I’ll take that. 2. Service The guy and woman who was making my food were doing their jobs properly and my food was prepared hygienically and at a good pace. 3. Atmosphere This place didn’t have many customers, probably because it was further inside the Camden Market, but whoever came there were pretty delighted by the food. Otherwise, all was great. Thanks

We tried the masala chicken one and was delicious. Good price. Enough for a quick snack. You need to find a place to sit in busy Camden market.

We wanted two different but you can’t get flavours but Bisan was so nice he gave us one naan but halved it and made two flabours for us, I am a usual at this place because it’s just too good, I come with a purpose of trying something new but every time I wind up there every time I’m in Camden.

Best spot in camden market. Worth the wait. I eat the chicken malai everytime I visit. My sister travels overseas just to eat this with me :)

Literally went there to order and the woman was chatting on her phone and totally ignored me. Awful.

* My experience with cheese and karak bread: Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pq4dgak6xKZtPAn69?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Sessions: none Handling: nice But it doesn't open until 11 o'clock Food: Delicious cheese and karak bread👌🏻 Not suitable for the elderly and people with special needs ♿️ because the land is not prepared

Tried the malai nan it tasted amazing

AVOID. The vegetable curry tasted like sick and had the most god awful smell. The chicken tandoori was average . Very disappointing.

Had the cheesy naan with chicken - spicy! Amazing taste. :)

Absolutely incredible! Well worth the trip. Wasn't on the top of my list of to try but I'm glad I did. Was just amazing..Great taste. Perfect cheese!

Mediocre. Saw lots of reviews from food bloggers, so thought I’d try. Literally chicken and cheese in a naan bread. Feels like it’s missing something, no fresh salads, chutneys, fresh coriander etc. Could be so much better!

⭐️👌Incredible one-of-a-kind Pakistani street (and comfort) food! Yes, I have never come across this preparation anywhere before! The seasoning of the chicken was perfect and the cheese was lavish. I tried the Tandoori chicken cheesy naan with masala fries opted for mayo sauce. Lavish amount of cheese provided too. The flavours of the chicken and cheese melded well and to perfection…all inside crisp, fresh toasted naan- already planning my next visit! I couldn’t take my eyes off the menu… Just fascinated by the variety: filled tacos, naans, burgers (lamb only), curry and rice options! Starters: fries, bajis, samosa, naan bread. Even do Combo meals for a fantastic price👍 Drinks: options of masala chai, lassi and soft drinks etc served too Value for money: ok Service: fast and accurate Staff: well-mannered, friendly, efficient Hygiene and surroundings: clean, neat Seating: benches in front

The cheesey naan melt with tandoori chicken was average taste. There was a decent amount of chicken but not a lot of cheese. The masala fries were far better than the naan. Tandoori naan melt: 5/10 Masala fries: 9/10 Ok to try once and for the experience. Too expensive to go back to have it again, not worth that much.

Great snack but very rich and oily (due to amounts of cheese)

Excellent Pakistanj street food. I had a vegetarian meal. The massala paneer melt was delicious. The lady making the food was so friendly, the place fits perfectly in the multi-cultural vibe of Camden market. Highly recommended!

Really worth the try, the sandwich with nan bread it was so delicious and something new.

Absolutely delicious Pakistani curries in a cheesy naan bread. Huge portions. We loved our food today!

The Lamb Kebob Burger was spicy and delicious.

DO NOT GO IF YOU'RE VEGETARIAN. Ordered a paneer cheesy naan and the chef asked im vegetarian and he'll cook it seperately from the meat which appreciated. At first he did, but then dragged it over to the meat grill. The naan was covered in small meat pieces and meat juices. Little care taken and massively regret going there.

Full review on our Instagram @halal_plg. This place serves lovely halal Pakistani dishes with a unique twist. The naan cheesy melt is insane and loaded with generous portions of chicken and cheese. Seating can be a little hard to find this area, their other branch is more accessible. For a full breakdown including prices, pictures and videos check out our page!

Delicious food and masala tea! 👍👍👍

Very happy customer, seen a video on YouTube recommending this place. The food was fantastic!

£11 i paid for a cheesy naan melt. It was filling and tasted ok, could have done with more flavour. Had to wait nearly 15 minutes for it as well

Tasty and big portion! i couldn't finish it

Very delicious food and the service was great 👍

We tried almost all of the foods available there. Everything was very tasty, fresh and the service was excellent 👌.

Great Food by Prince! 6 star experience!

Paneer naan and chai was super tasty!

Super tasty chicken cheesy naan

Great staff- amazing chicken masala nann with masala fries and hot sauce. Great chef recommendations. Quick service. Contactless. Very generous portions

Went to the Hawley Locks branch...absolutely awsome! Most tastiest paratha cheese chicken roll I have ever had and very filling... you have to try! Absolutely no excuses!

The food at this place is so delicious! Whilst it may not look like much, it's by far one of the best naan wraps I've ever had and incredibly filling (perfect for lunch). I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Camden.

Very interesting food and very tasty. We had the tandoori chicken naan. The service was very nice. They prepared the food very quickly. I would definitely go for a meal again.

Amazing cheesy naan bread melts 😍

What was expected of cheesy naan. Crispy exterior. I think I’m too picky, but a dipping sauce would put this over the edge. Masala fries are a great addition, though I do always wonder about the ubiquity of “loaded” fries.

I ordered the Masala Fries and they were good. Nice and crispy with the perfect amount of spices used. I'd get these again. 🤤 The chilli sauce that came with it was ok but not for me. My fellow foodies ordered the Tandoori Chicken naan and said it was so good. I believe them but do you? 🤔 Only one way to find out right, go and order one. Let the internet know after if I should promote my fellow foodies (with more food ofcourse) or send them to another planet until they've sorted out their taste buds. 😂 4 stars for atmosphere because Camden Market is always crowded and busy. Too many humans but one must eat to stay alive? 🤔 Good market with loads of food options, if you're in the area and your belly starts its own war inside demanding food. 🤪

Had chicken masala, was a bit salty for my taste but very delicious, my friend had malai chicken and that was even better! Mango lassi so refreshing!

I had the Malaï Chicken and a mango lassy, it was an excellent combo. Highly recommend it. There is no sittings in the stand but there are tables in the markets (cery crowded).

I was looking forward to trying the Malai Chicken Cheesey Naan, as it looked delicious and oozing with goodness. Despite the quick service, I was bitterly disappointed. The chicken didn't taste authentic and felt more like westernised food created by using a cheap supermarket sauce from a jar. It lacked any real depth of flavour and I felt a larger range of spices and fresh herbs was needed to elevate the dish. The naan was dripping in fat from the chicken/cheese. The cheese lacked any real flavour and didn't add to the dish, other than the greasiness. The only positive was that the naan was cooked well. Rather than a delicious street food dish, it felt like I was eating a greasy kebab after a night out. For £11 I was astonished at what I was eating and I wolluldnt pay more than £5 after a night out on something like that.

The food was amazing.The staffs were very polite.

Chicken masala cheesy naan was amazing😊

I love their panner masala naan........One of the best in London.

I ordered from this place, and the food was amazing. However, I would share a portion as it is quite filling. For anyone visiting, there is no seating area. Keep that in mind. I would return on my next visit to London.

The food is quite good, and the portion sizes very generous. Their chicken option was quite tasty and I was happy with my selection. I think the only downside was there was only one person running the entire stall on a busy bank holiday weekend, which meant the service was slower. I recommend that management looking to resolving these issues so they can earn their fifth star.

Delicious lamb kebab cheese naan, added spice to it and it was perfect!

Heard about them on Instagram.. I thinK they need to put more prominent board(personal opinion) food was good

It was so good. Next time I go to London I have to go there again.

Great food, with the chicken cooked to perfection. Personally i would recommend the Malai chicken it was just too good!!

The masala chicken naan was seasoned and cooked to perfection! The mango lassi was the perfect accompaniment to the dish and the hot weather also! A must visit!

I visited this place after viewing the hype around it by my friends, this place certainly lived up to its hype. I tried the masala chicken combo with the masala chai, and it was absolute delight with great flavors to it! The waiting line was pretty long, but it was single handedly well-managed by Prince. He clearly explained the menu, provided great service and was very fun to chat with! Definitely coming back here again!

For Pakistanis- this is truly authentic Karachi biryani. like something you'd eat at a loved one's home! It was so delicious- my friend and i got emotional and nostalgic for home. As a Karachiite this gets my full approval! The stuffed parathas and naans are also super delicious and the perfect filling snack!

We ordered masala chicken naan. It could be more spicy or flavorful but overall it was good. The portion size was way too small compared to the price being charged. 11 pounds for such a small naan.

I love their cheesy naans, I’ve tried all of their varieties and they all hit the spot. Do try their masala chicken and masala chai.

Cheese nan melt is nice but very over priced and staff are a little rude

Really enjoyed this place after seeing it on tik tok. The cheesy nan melt was so tasty and would definitely recommend it.

Such a delicious place to eat in London

Masala Cheesy Naan Melt and Masala Fries are incredible

Hands down the best food in Camden, nothing else comes close.

waited 25min for what was £9 for curry in a naan. we got the malai boti n it wasnt that special but maybe its because im pakistani

Perfect perfect, they are great. I advise to visit these family run spot. The are very clean and their food is delicious. Definitely I will come again

I think its ok nothing too special. I am Pakistani and I couldn't really enjoy the food it was too chessy and westernised I guess for my taste however it was better than most of the stalls there.

delicious cheese naans. Must have when you are in Camden.

A good mix of naan, cheese and meat.

Great cheesy naan! Taste was good

Chai was 10/10 just like it is in India, very aromatic perfect amount of cardamom. The malai chicken naan was tasty, generous portion. Would recccomend!

Paneer naan melt was fantastic. The spices were very flavourful, the meal was delicious and filling.

You can’t go wrong with this choice. 🤤

A discovery in Cadem, we loved this Indian food stand. The malai chicken naam (milder) and the masala chicken naam (spicier) are both delicious, I wouldn't know which one to choose. The fries were also delicious and spicy.

Delicious food around Camden. Cheese nans are just finger linking. Ordered malai one of best dish of KHAAO and fully satisfied.

Quite pricey but the fries were nice. Sadly they can't be reheated so it's best to eat it fresh.

The cheesy naan and mango lassi tasted incredible. Fair price, staff was nice. But in my personal opinion not worth a 30 min wait.

Delicious food and excellent service by friendly people.

Amazing find in the newly build Hawley Wharf, Camden town. Great tasting food, perfect Masala Chai. And great service.

Wow! The cheesy naan melts were so delicious. One of the men, was really kind to us as we waited for our order. The mango lassi is great, and the lamb shish and tandoori chicken (which we got ) were fabulous. Recommend!!!

Excellent quality of work and products. I recommend with good value for money

The line was really long and the wait for the food took a while but once I got it I really enjoyed everything it was worth the money and the wait

EW! Waited 30 mins for the masala cheesy naan and it was absolutely disgusting.

£4 for mango lassi. Small bottle would not fill a medium McDonald’s cup. Tasted like they used unripe mangos. Would not get it again.

Roti House was still showing on Google maps so I really hoped it was still there, but this was very disappointing in comparison. More expensive, you couldn't choose garlic naan over plain, no veg or salad, and it would have been a lot better if the cheese was optional because I definitely wouldn't have chosen it! There was too much cheese, and not enough flavour. My friends and I all regretted buying it.

The best food I have tasted here.

Delicious food! Tandoori Chicken Naan! Friendly people who work quickly.

For someone that loves cheese and chicken - this place is a must! I personally am not a fan of cheese (I took most of it out) but honestly the flavours on the malai chicken was delish! The chicken was cooked to perfection 😋 & the chips - a little crunchy and needs more masala.

If I’m honest this should actually be a 2* review , but I’m not as savage as others on here. 1st point - the reality is different from the photos. In reality the cheese is not sticky and melting so much like the photos show 2nd - the taste is okay but not special and certainly not enough flavour for the portion size 3rd - the price is just so out of touch. Almost £10 for let’s be honest , a couple thin pieces of naan, lots of oil and cheese which wasn’t even very tasty Overall: dissapointed for something that looked great in photos.
