Punjabi Karahi Indian Restaurant in Hounslow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very bad food (Chicken not cooked), very unprofessional staff and above all very poor hygiene. I only took the food because I paid for it in advance via an app, most of which ended in the bin. AVOID!!!

This restaurant has new owners and so most of the reviews before 2019 aren't for the same restaurant. The original owner and chef etc no longer run this place. The food is OK in taste and the menu is quite big. But this place is nearly always empty so it's hard to tell on the freshness of the ingredients as there isn't so much turn over. Given the new owners have redecorated and expanded the menu considerably, I hope they grow their customer base

Double edged sword. The food here is great and close to one of the best in the area. Without a shadow of a doubt their prawn curry borders on phenomenal. What let's the place down is they do not honor discounts. I was first told you need to call in for a discount (not relevant), then told cannot bring your own drinks (not relevant) and then basically almost not served at all because I had a discount code. Like I said great food but if you cannot honor discounts dont pretend you will... its embarrassing

Very delicious and reasonably priced food. You can take your liquor at a £10 charge. Good service. Place can be a bit noisier and busy but that’s due to regular customers I guess.

Any Indian will love the food here as it's got variations to dishes and it's spicy. Not to expensive, but must say that it gets crowded a bit at dinner

Always come here before flying from Heathrow. Food is always delicious, atmosphere relaxed and staff friendly. Don't expect posh, but do expect good food at amazing prices.

Out of all the Indian restaurants in the Hounslow area, Punjabi Kharai has by far the best Lamb Biriyani.

This restaurant has obviously been taken over by people who are obviously not Punjabis and appear to have little or no experience in running a restaurant. Not recommended if you are looking for a Punjabi karahi place.

Probably the best lamb chops and fish tikka in Hounslow and that is up against some stiff competition. The lamb Karahi is sublime real melt in the mouth . Unfussy service and decor belies the exquisite fare . A real gem of a restaurant you must try it . God bless the Punjabi Karahi xxxx

do try the masala paneer. it's one of a very good local eats in Hounslow. I also love their lassi and the tandoori chicken. Naveen is a nice guy who knows and remembers his regular people and their preferences.

Very nice signature dishes like king prawns dry fry and tawa chicken and lamb .chilli lamb dry fry🤗

Always great food! My favourites have to be the mix grill and the Butter chicken, make sure you get a chili garlic naan too!

If you visit this establishment you can’t go wrong Bring your own booze as well I recommend Tawha chicken garlic nan Chicken tikka Lamb kebabs job done

Food is very good,have been coming here for a few years with the family and also do takeaway the service is good aswell

Ambience wasn't pleasant. There was a weird smell in the restaurant. We ordered aloo paratha and it came with the aloo hardly there. Wouldn't recommend to anyone and surely will not visit again. Paneer chilly was more like paneer fry. No great taste.

When I visit london we always go to Hounslow 1st time I've tried this restaurant but was recommended and didn't disappoint. The chilli lamb fry fry is outstanding (any chance of the recipe I live in Belfast) next to that we sheesh kebab and a few other dishes. Would recommend to anyone. Enjoy see you next weekend. So good I went 3 days out of 7.

De no llevando todos los entrantes juntos. Sin olvidar platos principales, una cuchara y un plato sucio de insulsa. . . . Qué más decir. Ojalá nos hubiéramos evitado antes de un gran día en Londres. Calificación daría cero si es posible.

He estado en este restaurante varias veces y la comida depende de cómo el chef se siente. Él es un chef brillante pero si él no está de muy buen humor la comida sufrirá. La decoración se puede llevar es horrible y puede dejarte la comida es literalmente un ambiente limpio y no necesita ser o hacer.

Been coming here for years and never been disappointed! Great food at reasonable prices! Must try the lamb karahi always great!All the tandoori food is great and the portion sizes are good!Not the most hygienic place but if you want authentic Indian food it's the only downside!

So, I've tried a lot of Indian restaurants in London, but this one takes the cake. Almost all of them I've tried before do make Indian food, but it's not the home cooked types. A taxi driver suggested this to me and I decided to give it a try...And I didn't regret that decision. Tried their chicken tikka fried rice, daal tarka and a cup of chai..And it was perfect. Though the ambience is pretty modest - it almost looks like a Dhaba, service is average...But if the focus is just food, then its the place to be!!!

As a family we always use Punjabi Karahi for Kebab Rolls. They are excellent value for money as well as really tasty and very filling. I would totally recommend their Kebab Rolls.

Do not let the rundown decor of this place fool you. The service is good, everything came out pretty fast and more importantly, the food was super yummy. The mogo chips aren't that great but all else was spot on.

The food as always was very good but they were so busy one of our dishes came when mist had finished which wasn't exceptable.

We have been here couple of times this month.Tried both veg & non-veg and all that we ordered was great. The taste is just good id you like the spices. Request for less spicy if you donor like it as originally it is. It was perfect for us.The ambience is simple, average and good enough to be seated and have your food . This restaurant also has a BYOB option id you wish to carry tour own to save few bucks. May be due to this, I prefer the take away option as the food is good anyways.

Originating from India, as you can imagine the usuaul Indian restaurant here tends to dissapoint, but certainly not this one. Some of the best and Indian food I have tasted outside of India, with brilliant staff and a vibrant, rough and ready atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I make it a point to have atleast one meal when ever I have visited London. The donner kebabs and the non veg platter is all you need to satisfy your hunger. Order anything and you will find it lip smacking. A very good place to end your day.

Best chicken tikka I have had in a long time cooked fresh in front of me didn't have to wait too long either place could do with a lick of paint and new decor though

A warm welcoming place with a very polite staff. Food is served efficiently and tastes sublime. I would recommend friends and family come check this place out and see for themselves. Not too pricey. Their speciality ofGreat tandoori chicken isBrilliant.

Been here many time's before, came here late on Friday evening, great atmosphere, you can bring your own alcohol, we ordered chicken tikka for starters which was tender, juicy & fab flavours, for main's we had butter chicken, daal makhni, both were very very tasty, with butter naan's, great service, this is the place for top Indian food, def worth a visit!!

We went as a large group of 12 We wanted to eat after 10pmThey took us and we were grateful, and hungry. The service was not enthusiastic, maybe the time of day (night) but the food was real good, authentic. I had Lamb Rogan Josh and it was tasty and authentic and the portion generous. The Naan Bread was out of this world. Pity the less than enthusiastic service let them down. I will go back in usual hours to see if it is better, when I next visit London.

What I like about this place is that they will make the food however spicy you want it, it is more like a cafe than a restaurant but it gets busy and there are lots of Indians that use it which means the food must be good.

I had never been here before, but a friend recommended it and so we gave it a shot. The food is excellent ... it is cooked where you can see the kitchen, it comes out quickly, hot and delicious. The portions are a good size and it is all well priced too. I can't fault the food, service or restaurant. I would say that they need to pay a bit more attention to the toilet, especially as there is only one male toilet for the whole restaurant ... don't let that put you off though ... come and try the food. Recommended.

Spicy Karahi Paneer is one of my favourites at this restaurant, lovely staff. Good place to dine in, conveniently located next to East tube station. Can be very crowded on weekends. Even takeaways can take quite long. But it's worth the wait. Food is very tasty. Regularly visit this restaurant.

It's always my favourite restaurant and still is the best. This Indian restaurant serves very delicious food and not very expensive. Worth to visit if you are close to Hounslow.

Close to Hounslow Bus Garage,Hounslow East station for people travelling on Public Transport. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Good price range for all budgets.

I had been going to this place when it first opened years ago but hadn't visited it in a long time. Had a mixed grill for stater and mixed tawa (chicken and lamb) for main with rice and nan. Enough for 4 of us. Good food and prompt and friendly service. As mentioned from a previous review, you can take your own alcohol which is great!

Just the place to come if you want good service, clean place, good food and good price. We had a large selection as there were 6 of us and every one enjoyed what they had ordered.

Good quality food which is very tasty and large selection of dishes both veg and non veg. The dishes are piping hot and the portions good sizes. Great to visit with friends or family . Open kitchen where they cook . Only drawback is that your clothes smell of curry afterwards. You can bring your own alcoholic beverages as well. Recommended dal makhani and bhindi. Good selection of mixed grill..parking spaces in front of restuarant large screen tv's.. bring your own birthday cakes.

Good Indian food. very informal. Place to go with your friends. Not very expensive. Value for money.

The food is out of this world, have been coming here for 12 years! However with two small children we had to wait 40 minuets for two dishes to arrive. Other than that would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

We have been coming here for over 10 years now regularly . Whenever we want to have Indian we end up here for the excellent food,,, Meat platters, masala lamb chops , lamb tawa particularly recommended. Also paneer makhani, garlic naan, keema naan. Very friendly staffAmbience is very basic so dont come here the evening you want style but come here the evening you want good food. We come here very often previously as a couple and now with kids and no issue!

Firstly this place was busy, which is always a good sign. Secondly they don't have a license, but you can bring your own, and there is an off-licence next door.You won't be blown away by the decor. Basic furniture, basic cutlery, basic plates. What you will be blown away by is the quality, quantity and cost of the food. This place is incredibly good value and the food is fantastic. 4 people having papadums, starters, mains, rice and breads for £80 including the tip.I wouldn't take my girlfriend there, but it really is great for groups of friends who want a really, really good curry - lovely.

The food here is amazing. The spices/flavors are complex and the food it cooked to perfection. The mushroom rice was one of the nicest dishes I've ever tried and the Pannier Jalfrezi was amazing. The food is served almost swimming in oil/fat. If you are looking for a healthy option - best eat somewhere else.

Tender lamb spiced and cooked to perfection. Possibly the finest taste experience from the Indian subcontinent to pass my lips. The generous well presented portion serves two.

We tend to get takeaways from here. Particularly enjoy the tandoori chicken starter from here. Food of a good standard - spicy. Well priced. If you eat at the restaurant you can take your own alcohol. The interior of the restaurant isn't the most fancies!

A very pleasant setting. They are very welcoming and the prices are reasonable and affordable.Very good food and service is excellent. WC facilities could be better.

I have been going here for years. Good catch up place for a lads night out and you can take your own alcohol. The food is consistently good from the kebabs, lamb chops for starters to the karahi chicken and tadka daal for mains. No frills restaurant with a pretty busy and rowdy atmosphere. Definitely not the place to take your other half for a quiet dinner. Plus points for food and would always go back when in Hounslow.

Firstly it just goes to show that even a glowing review on Trip Advisor as well as hearing good things from friends isn't a guarantee. (See picture 1). So rather than our usual fairly mediocre saturday evening curry from nearby Anjams in Isleworth we took a chance and visited the Punjabi Karahi.1st impressions. ..yes a canteen style dining area as opposed to Anjams more usual typical Tacky Indian resteraunt decore. Not a problem I've been to some fantastic canteen style Indian resteraunts in the past.1st thing to note was a customer in front complaining that he would expect that being a restaurant they would have change when he paid his bill......They didn't. I was reassured when I saw the sign on the wall saying cards accepted only on a minimum £15.When I handed my card over to pay our £50.60 bill I was asked for cash. I said I didn't have any so the tried my card and it wouldn't work. I was told their phone signal was poor when verifying cards and it failed.After the waiter telling me there was a cash machine along the street I was embarrisingly accompanied to it by my waiter.I thought the bill was a bit high at the time but in the confusion failed to check it.So I didn't realise till we got home that we had been overcharged by £5.05. (See 2nd photo)

I'm a country bumpkin that had to go to Hounslow for the day, so I came on here to find somewhere for lunch. This place was very highly recommended and v close to where I needed to be. Took the wife and young son along. We were there early and the only customers, so we didn't suffer any of the customer service issues that others on here did, and I happened to have cash on me too, which avoided being frogmarched to the ATM. The restaurant itself is very casual and basic, and you can see the food being prepared. We had a biryani, tandoori chicken, dhal tadka and kadai gosht (or something similar). My wife and son loved it all. I have spent a long time eating v authentic indian food in Doha (before my trip advisor days) and thought it a bit mixed - the biryani was a bit meh, the tandooru chicken was a bit odd and overly seasoned, but the dal, kadai and paratha were fantastic. Overall a great value and very tasty lunch, and served quickly, which is important when you've got young kids.

Food is ok. Not consistent though. Service is always a problem here. Can a couple of hundreds pounds not be invested on quality staffs ?? Popular in the area. Imptovents would make lot better.

Friendly service, excellent authentic Punjabi food. Don't be put off by appearances, this is one of the best curry houses in London I've been too.

My partner wanted us to visit here as he is friends with one of the owners. We've been there twice now and I have nothing but praises for this place. You are greeted no matter, age, gender, nationality you name it you are so welcomed. The deep fried fish with the full meat platter is out of this world, you get beef, lamb, chicken, fish and chicken off the bone. Trust me this with their homemade sauce is out of this world. I've even been told that when I come again a recipe will be waiting for me to try at home, but you know it will never turn out the way it does cooked here. Everything on the menu is a must but personal favourite is the meat platter. It's affordable, you can even bring your own drink if you want as they want you to feel comfortable to a certain extent off course. Very affordable and welcoming atmosphere. You must try!!!!

Authentic and really tasty - don't be put off with external appearances!Food freshly made, and service was good. I will definitely be returning!

All the spices and sauces are made in-house, some of the dishes like Jogo a Swahili term for Cockerel, this chicken on the bone karahi in a thick sauce is so tasty it causes an explosion of the palate. I love it with a soft buttered tandoor Nan Bread. This has to be one of the cheapest party nights out it is very cheap. The owner and son are very friendly and welcoming. There is always a lively atmosphere, bring your own Beer and Wine, open 7 days

Me and my Girlfriend recently went to this restarant and the service was outstanding and the food was the real taste of India.The Bombay Lamb was lovely.5 Star

I was searching for a late night meal before flying out of Heathrow and stumbled upon Karahi. I was really glad that I did. What attracted me was the chefs working in the kitchen, right in the shop window of the restaurant, everything on display. The place was buzzing so my friend and I had to give it a try. We were blown away with the heady atmosphere in the place, jam packed, noisy and hectic. The food was nothing short of excellent and I fully intend to coordinate my next flight out of Heathrow so that I can pay Karahi a visit. If you are in the area and enjoy a curry, you have to give it a try.

After searching Hounslow and the surrounding area for a nice Indian takeaway we found this one. Have to say the food was delicious, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. We have been back a second time since and were not disappointed. Definitely worth a try.

Il ristorante è molto piccolo e non serve alcolici ( che i consumatori si portano da casa )In compenso servono dei piatti fantastici e il personale è svelto e gentile.Unico neo: se ci andate di venerdì sera attenzione agli ubriachi...Sono davvero tanti e molesti !

Been to India . Eat with the Indians, and ohhhh boy it's the truest most authentic indian cafe/ restaurant outside of India ... Fantastic .. Been coming 15 years and and sadly moved away some 10 years ago ... But never fail to return when were in the area once a month and never let us down ....

Regularly eat here sometimes numerous times a week. Food is always outstanding and cooked traditionally with real flavoursome herbs and spices. Top notch and will always recommend

Brilliant food! Excellent. The best butter chicken I've had outside India. The shish kebabs were excellent. The lamb curry was hot but tasty. You can bring your own booze as well, bonus. It's very very relaxed, chilled out place, more like an dhabaa (Indian greasy spoon), that just adds to the appeal to be honest. 3 people ate starters, Main and desserts for £50. I'm going too be coming here a lot. Enjoy guys.

Das Restaurant liegt unweit vom Best Western Hotel, als ich Gast war war es relativ voll und laut, das Essen war sehr gut der Service in Ordnung, Preis Leistung hat gestimmt.

If you have been missing authentic punjabi food like me, this is the place to be. The tandoori dishes and kebabs are really delicious and mouth watering. Easy to get to from the M3/M4 this place is really popular among my fellow desi's as well. The Tava Lamb is their signature dish and very popular indeed. Full marks to the guys at PK. The restaurant can get really busy on a weekend so you would like to visit early to avoid any disappointment.

The taste of the food was at its best and also the quantity is good. This is the best place to enjoy ur meal with ur friends and family.I will make it a go again

Ideal third place between work n home to spend quality time with friends over some lovely Indian cuisine, must try Tawa Chicken and you can take your own Booze.....

This restaurant has variety of food and good quality however need to improve on service.Food has nice aroma and well spiced however Service is slow.

if your looking for a proper authentic punjabi meal cooked with love this is the place. take your own alcohol and food prices very reasonable..going back next week

Me and my boyfriend lover our food. It is canteen style but the food is excellent! We both agreed that this deserved the 2014 certificate of excellence. It is BYOB and dinner for two (lots of food and leftovers to bring home) was £33. If Indian food is your thing this is worth a visit.

Known about this place for ages but never made the effort to go there. So glad I changed my mind my partner and I decided to pay a visit for a takeaway on a Friday evening about 7.30 first impressions were a bit mixed looked like a cafe a lot of locals having a wee dram while they waited for their food and the open kitchen was a bit fawlty towers with a bit of shouting going onDon't be fooled this is the best curry this side of the oompopo river won't even tell you what we had because every dish was faultless Best curry I've had since my godmother from goa died in 1980 god rest her soul. You miss this at your peril.

Have visited Punjabi Karahi a couple of times now. I first heard about the place on TripAdvisor and so went down one day to pick up a takeaway of a mixed grill, a curry and a naan. The taste and spicing was very authentic and I looked forward to revisiting for a dine-in experience at a later date.A week or so later I had a chance to take some of the family down to the restaurant after I had already assured them that some great Punjabi food could be had in this very casual and low cost restaurant. Unfortunately we timed our trip with one of the World Cup football matches and so even though we were the only people dining in the restaurant most of the staff seemed absorbed by the TV than providing service to the customers. On this particular day it felt that the food also suffered from a lack of attention as it didn't have quite the zing that I had experienced on my first visit. Strangely enough once the football game was finished service improved and it also tasted like the food was improved too. So, I would be happy to give this place the benefit of the doubt and return again but I think they do need to always keep service and quality (and not football) at the top of their minds.

Went here and ordered the chicken tikka for starters, it was one of the best I've tasted, the chicken was succulent. Moved onto the butter chicken for mains and it was well flavoured. Decent prices too. Well worthy of it's reputation.

Have visited this place on a few occasions over the years but my recent visit made me remember just how great the food is here. To get the best Indian food you must visit the highly populated Indian areas such as Hounslow. This place is located very close to Hounslow East station very close to the town centre. When you walk in it looks more like a cafe rather than restaurant but im a firm believer that places that are overly glamorous compensate by good food which is what i visited for and boy did they deliver!. The food is some of the best i have ever had. I tried the mixed grill for starters which contained a variety of the tandoori starters on a sizzling platter. Each and every item was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. I then went with the Tawa Lamb dish for my main and i can honestly say i have never had lamb so tender and well flavored in my life. The dish is a masterpiece which many Michelin starred restaurants would struggle to produce. It is a must try at the restaurant!The service is good, friendly and as per my expectations and i love the fact everything is cooked freshly in an open kitchen at the end of the restaurant. I cant complain about a single thing, if you want great Indian food in a simple setting visit here, if you prefer average food this is not for you. Keep it up guys!

Even after you've forgotten its name and walked the wrong way up the road from the tube, this place is still worth finding. Plain tables, bring your own alcohol and really nice food including a powerful mint dip that I can still taste. Generous portions of everything so don't order too much, friendly staff and it is used by lots of locals. Well worth the rating!

Top notch food here, served in a no frills, lively restaurant with a large customer base. The open kitchen where you can watch the chefs going about their business only adds to the atmosphere. The head waiter (who could also be the owner?) guides you through the menu but the paneer dishes here are excellent- especially the chilli paneer. There is a large menu with a variety of vegetarian, meat, tandoor dishes and draft Kingfisher and Cobra to wash it down with. You can bring wines and spirits in from the next door offy. This place is walking distance from Hounslow West tube station and thoroughly recommended.

Decided we will try this restaurant since it is the number1 rated Indian Restaurant in Hounslow.We arrived around Thursday, 2.30 pm, hoping that it will be open for a late lunch for the 3 of us. I left my car and followed the butcher whom was delivering to the restaurant. I entered and asked a staff member were they open? The boss stepped out of the 'open' plan kitchen and waved me in with his hands. Great!We sat down and read the menu. The waiter came and took our orders. We ordered for starters the grilled lamb chops (6 pieces) and a portion of the chicken wings (4 pieces). These were cooked just right-well done, and moist.For my main course I ordered the Karahi King Prawn and a dish of the Punjabi Special Rice (large) to compliment the meal. My wife ordered the Fish Tikka Karahi and her sister ordered the Karahi Lamb Scoda. A portion of 3 chapatti were ordered.My dish was quite tangy and gingery, not the karahi I expected say from Manchester Curry Mile, but tasted ok. I understand each province and chef cook differently.The Karahi Lamb Scoda was delicious as well as the Fish Dish. Both of these dishes tasted similar to the karahi I am used to; strange why my curry tasted differently and also red in colour whereas the other two dishes were dark green/ brown.However, my rice dish was such a large portion I could not finish it as well as the remainder of the curry dishes. The waiter kindly gave us some plastic containers to take the food home.The next day I had the rest of the curry for lunch and it tasted superb.The total bill came to £57.50, which includes a can of coke.

I have been eating at this restaurant for many years and it's by far the best Indian food I've had! The menu is great with lots of variety and I always leave the restaurant satisfied. The food is freshly made and always served promptly and is delicious! On my most recent visit to the restaurant, I asked for a recommendation of a new dish and the head chef personally came and recommended a dish and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I tried a lamb dish and the meat practically melted in my mouth. Was made perfectly! The service was great and the head chef/manager really understood what I wanted and delivered this. Management and staff are great, they always make you feel welcome. Would definitely recommend eating at Punjabi Karahi.

I wanted something to eat and trip advisor yet again came to my rescue. The food was really good and the price was very fair. You can take your own wine too as theres an off licence next door. I would recommend this as one of the best currys i have had.once again thanks alot for a great meal.

So this has to be one of my favorite indian/punjabi restaurants that was recommended to me by a friend who travels here from weighbridge (far). If you can handle a bit of spice then come to punjabi karahi for some great tasting food. The flavors just work! I personally love the tandoori chicken and the signature tawa lamb / chicken

Great food, so far the best indian food i have had in london...and the best part you can get your own alcohol....

Despite looking like a bit like a scruffy caff, this was genuinely one of the best indian meals I have ever had, at any price! And this was £13 a head. The Karahi Chicken was brilliantly spiced and really tender. The Rogon Josh fantastic too. I don't live anywhere near here, but will definitely be back!

The best Indian fast food in west London,You have to remember this is a Dhaba not a restaurant, so don't expect all the bells & whistlesOf a fine dinner !!!,The owner is a great guy always there to help,And the staff are very helpfullCan't rate it highly enough.P.s as for the noise from the rest of the customers well,They are always very jolly and just enjoying the excellent food.

Went to this restaurant on the 19th December. The food is amazing. We had a lamb dish to start the meat melted in your mouth and the flavour wow. Our main meal did not disappoint either. If your in this area and like Indian food you have to visit.

I had visited this restaurant which allows you to take your own drinks(whisky, ,beers etc..) food taste was excellent and environment little bit noisy. But I would like to tell you try food you will never forget.

Visited this restaurant with my wife on Friday, after reading the reviews on tripadvisor. As its bring your own we stopped on the way to pick up some drinks. We started with the Chilli Lamb, ordered 1 rice and 1 Chilli and Keema Nan, Lamb and Pea Keema and a Chicken Jalfrezi. It was big portions. You can taste the spices and the food is cooked in front of you. We will be returning, please do not be worried about the look and feel it is a café and not a restaurant. The food worked out at £13 each. A bargain.

I have visited this restaurant several times now, usually with my grown up children. The food is always fabulous, exquisite curries with delicious accompaniments. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The Restaurant is not fancy, - no candles, or ornate chandeliers but the food I promise you is some of the best Indian food you will ever eat. The value for money - outstanding. They serve non-alcoholic soft drinks, but if you prefer something stronger, you can take your own.Highly recommended if you love great Indian food.

As a fairly regular customer we love this place. We go for other indian meals but always compare to punjabi and other restaurants can never compete. Amazing food, reasonably priced. Delicious, bit noisy but that only adds to the friendly environment

Have been a regular here since taken there by a Desi mate 7 years ago. Owners are friendly and staff are generally competent although it's sometimes difficult to explain which dish you want when during your dining eg a few bitings first, then the grilled, then the curry. Doesn't always matter as the food is top notch apart, maybe, the biryani which sometimes comes over as rather Chinese takeaway. Do not worry about "how spicy" as the waiter often asks and the chef will cook accordingly.Yes it's a bit formica and occasionally noisy but where else can you fill your belly with fine Punjabi food for less than a tenner a head including complimentary popadums, chili sauce, corriander sauce and salad (should the waiter remember)? Great grilled meat, excellent specials like dry fried jeera chicken and fantastic lamb curries - with ginger is a knockout. A fine range of breads are available too whether grilled, stove top or fried.Easily located (turn right on exiting Hounslow East Underground) and a few doors away from a decent grocer selling a range of reasonably priced beer including some rarer Polish brands, Tusker and a find the other day, Bell (Ugandan) a lovely 4% er which goes down well with what you get on your plate. If not drinking alcohol (some other PK punters love a drop of JD or JW or Grants with cola for eg) they will serve you a decent lassi or mango milkshake.So, when in Hounslow, this is probably your best bet. The main one on the high street may have let its standards slip and there are a number that are so halal as to request that you do not bring your own.

Brought in by a friend and taken through the best of the menu. Some very different dishes from those I have been accustomed to and found in the usual canon of British Indian restaurant and takeaway dishes. A lot of powerful and delightful flavours. Friendly and lively environment. Good value too.

We went here due to a recommendation by an indian colleague and although the place doesn't look much from the outside, the food is absolutely delicious! Full of flavour and quite different from your typical curry restaurant. I really recommend the chilli paneer as well as the lamb chops. The service is quick, prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly as well. Definitely one of my top 5..

Delicious food. Very spicy but does not detract from the flavour. The lamb was falling apart and so tasty. All presented really nicely and cooked fresh in front of you. Everything we tried had unbelievable flavour. Miles above any Indian food we've had before. Big portions so be careful not to order too much. My partner and I ordered two starters, two mains, one rice and one naan between us and it was far too much (for us that's saying something). Probably a starter to share, a curry each and rice or a naan to share would have been enough. Brilliant service.

started off with complementary (possibly because we are semi-regulars) poppadum's, followed by vegetable samosas, chilli king prawn (dry fry, my favourite!) + Allu Gobi, Garlic Chilli Naan and Egg Fried Rice; all wonderful, couldn't finish it (am looking forward to having it for lunch today). all washed down with a couple of beers i purchased from the off-license three shops up the street... 71 pounds for four people (the other three had mango lassi's, and various other meals e.g. butter chicken, rogan josh, etc)... i love this place so much that i always make a point of going out of my way to "drive past it on the way home", despite the fact that it is 18 miles away!

Worth a detour from the usual chain eateries in the area (just by Hounslow East tube station). Cheerful staff, canteen style setting, lots of menu choices and bring your own beer are some of the pluses. I had an excellent lamb biryani (huge portion) , crispy vegetable pakora and the lightest, freshest nan bread I've ever eaten. About £10 all in.

Went here with a few mates thinking it would be you standard indian restaurant. i was however shocked to find that the food was full of taste and flavour. the chicken dishes were especially good ! bring your own booze was a bonus !

Whenever I crave for sizzling tandoori food , this is the place I go to which has a unique atmosphere i.e. crockery banging, waiters in lively discussions with chefs explaining customer's requirements and to hurry up..There is also indian music as well as tv is on. You can watch football while tucking into tandoori mutton chops. Food is par excellence and totally prepared by the head chef who happens to own the restaurant. His knowledge of special recipes and herbs is the key to why this is a special place. By 9 pm the place is in uproar and you have to shout to be heard.it is always a good idea to reconfirm with waiters that they have got it right. Amidst the crescendo you can hear staff taking down home delivery orders.There is a big selection of curries and tandoori grills. My mouth has started watering already .

Having eaten at many Indian restaurants around the country (Indian family- its what we do), it is hard to find food that stands out. Most dishes merge into generic flavours with nothing to separate one restaurant from another. This place though is something else! The setting won't fill you with much confidence (it is plenty clean though), but from the first dish you order to the last, you'll be glad you stayed.If this was a central london venue, you could easily spend double for food which is not even near the same quality

I had an excellent meal with other diners in a plain but functional eatery.The food was excellent and I was not disappointed, with the combination of the atmosphere, the diners in conversation and the TV with Punjabi music it was a great night out

Not much to look at (think greasy spoon cafe) but the food is always 100% spot-on! The most flavoursome indian food you'll ever taste, especially if your experience had been only of 'regular' high street indian restaraunts - you won't find any over-sugary sweet korma dishes here! I recommend the chicken tikka karahi and keema karahi - tasty, fun and so addictive! Two thumbs up!!

Although this looks more like a cafe the food is wonderful and nothing is to much trouble with them.
