Taste of Pakistan in Hounslow

10 out of 10 Food! Highly recommend. We ordered Charsi karahi, Chapli Kebab, Kabli Pulao and Naan. The food was absolutely delicious.

Great food and no match on taste anywhere else in London. Must recommend.

Amazing food amazing service the best Pakistani food in the west. Best of all is the owner, so hospitable so friendly. Wish I could give it 6 stars

Ordered lamb leg 1st time very happy that we all had good experience thank you TASTE OF PAKISTAN team and lamb charsi karai always top rank thanks to all of you

Very bad experience no good food quality sepschly grill food quality is very bad I ordered labm khari but quantity is less then one kg food quality is very bed and price toooo high I recommend to any hotel in ilford lane is good quality and price too less as compared to this place setting is too congested to rasheed u can't feel taste and comfort at this place because to rushed I never eve recommend to any one on this place

This restaurant is not worth it, very bad experience I would not recommend

My family and friends have made it a weekend tradition to dine here, drawn back time and time again by the warm hospitality and consistently delicious food. Since moving away, I hadn’t had the chance to visit, but today I found myself nearby and decided to stop in and I’m so glad I did. The food, as always, was fresh and full of flavour. The roti in particular stood out soft, warm, and incredibly nostalgic. It instantly reminded me of the roti I once had during a visit to Makkah, which is high praise in itself. During our visit, there was a small mix-up with our order, but it was handled graciously by a lovely waiter whose kind and professional attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. Mistakes happen, and it was clear the team was doing their best. However, I did have a slightly disappointing experience when the waiter was querying about the order. A young lady at the front desk responded quite loudly, and her tone came across as abrupt especially given the volume, which carried across the restaurant. It wasn’t the error that was the issue, but rather how it was handled in that moment. I later spoke to who I believe was the owner, who kindly acknowledged my concern and assured me he would address it. It’s worth emphasising that this single encounter doesn’t reflect the rest of the staff, who were, as always, welcoming and attentive.

Alhamdulilah food here is always good. Genuinely the best Pakistani food in the UK. Definitely will visit again.

Best local restaurant for quality and price. Food and staff are top dollar.

Best grill , biryani , fish masala

Disappointed with Service and Attitude Ordered a quarter chicken but was served and billed for half. When we pointed out the issue, instead of resolving it politely, the receptionist became rude and confrontational, saying we should’ve spoken up earlier if the quantity seemed off. Very unprofessional behavior and poor customer service. Won’t be returning.

Very unprofessional staff at the billing counter today. We clearly ordered quarter chicken of the charsi karahi they provided half quantity and billed for the same l. When we pointed this out at the billing counter l, the person shamelessly saying we should have informed when the food was served. How do we as a customer be knowing the exact quantities in their term. They instead accepting their fault and started blaming us which was totally unacceptable however we wouldn’t mind paying extra though

Thanks everyone for the great service ☺️

This restaurant only accepts cash or bank transfer. So bear this in mind when visiting. Visited for the 1st time today, my uncle recommended some food items, so we ordered that, the food was delicious. I can now understand why the restaurant is always busy, the food is just amazing. The staff are nice, but it's very awkward as it's so packed with people they don't have anywhere to stand but in between the tables hovering over you, which I didn't like. The owner was lovely, he came round and said hi to the customers, was very friendly. We didn't have a booking so we were lucky to get seated. The restaurant looks very tired and could probably do with a refurb, more spacious seating and booking only so customers can come relax, chat and enjoy the amazing food. If your not bothered by aesthetic look, then this restaurant is definitely worth a visit for the food.

Never ever had such tasty Chapli Kebab no annoying spices. The large grill platter was so good. Not too spicy but juicy and tender lamb chops. The Naan freshly made and surprisingly very interesting chutneys. Mango shake was as it should be. And my most favourite was the fried fish!! Going in for a Lamb leg and the Kabuli Pulau soon InshAllah.

Service staff, lounge 1, news, I can't say anything about the barbecue, unfortunately, service is 0.

I have tasted many cuisines and would like to say it just awesome in taste

Terrible experience. I wouldn’t even give one star. Staff was rude, and the manager refused to admit their mistake after we complained about an overly spicy lamb karahi. One staff member admitted extra chilli was added, but no apology or solution was offered Not recommended at all. we came all the way from Liverpool

I dont want to be that person but nothing was good

We visited towards the end of Ramadan after Iftar. The owner was so hospitable. Everyone was pleased with the food, the complimentary tea, and the sweets. The owner even brought extra rice for the sake of Ramadan. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially because of the warm, hospitable experience we had.

Very nice food. Mix grill 10/10 Chapli kebab 10/10 Lamb karahi 10/10 Definitely worth coming

Hospitable owner who came over and greeted us. The food was tasty. Complementary green tea & almonds at the end. Recommend booking table at weekends.

Came in to see my twin brother but honestly the food is taati.

Food and service was top-notch.

The best Chaplin kebabs I have had outside of Peshawar!

Best place to eat. There is no competition to their taste.

Authentic Pakistani dishes and flavours. TOP service and great manager hospitality. Sheek, chapli and karahi all a must.

Alhumdhulilah . Table was ready for me and my family for iftar. Food was great. Owner was very respectful and a good host. Even the waiters would attend straight away if anything needed. 6 stars for service and quality of food without a doubt. Thank you

Being new to the area I was recommended this place by a work colleague. I have travelled the world and enjoyed Chapli kebab even in the NWFP made by the people whose delicacy this is. I arrived at Taste of Pakistan and after some confusion around me being and Uber / Deliveroo / Just Eat driver ( i was in motorcycle kit carrying a helmet) I was directed to someone to seat me. I was asked if I had a reservation and I said no. At this point he took a sharp intake of breath, shook his head and began to tut. Whilst I appreciate it was fast opening time I have dined at some of the most salubrious establishments London has to offer and I was taken aback by this response. I'm sure if Prince Naz had turned up unannounced or maybe Kier Starmer it wouldn't have been an issue. I promptly fired back that should he be unable to find me a seat i'd happily go back to Khan Karahi (Hounslow West) as they have no problem with the colour of my money. Ironically i was promptly seated at a single table. I believe the tall guy with the beard and shaved head is the gaffer and saw beyond my motorcycle kit and moved a chair next to where I was sat and even began to sweep up besides me. This shows brilliant leadership, loved it. I ordered a chapli kebab, one roti and a can of 7 up. Despite the place being busy the kebab arrived soon enough although looking a little darker than I expected. The roti then followed. There is an old english saying, never judge a book by its cover. The taste and texture of the chapli kebab were amazing. Again there is no need to complicate anything with excessive bits and pieces. The salad was simple and the chutney unnecessary to enable the taste of the kebab to shine through. Gen Z and Millenials will be happy with whatever is put in front of them. The old school Pakistani people know what authentic tastes like and they don't need to TikTok it. This kebab was one of the best i've ever had. Taste of Pakistan has now left me with a major dilemma. The meal was good and having found somewhere nearby that make a chapli kebab to the same level i am now torn between where do I go to enjoy my chapli kebabs in the future. If you want something special and don't want to fly to Afghanistan / Peshawar then this is the place to visit but be aware they don't take card so its cash only or a bank transfer.

Taste is amazing. Dining in for the second time and it’s totally worth it. Naseer Khan is an amazing host💓

It is the tastiest food i had recently. I loved the lamb karahi the taste somehow made me feel nostalgic.

Food very good. Service as it busy just to much going on. But the staff fo everything to make the service quick.

Usual great grilled food thx to the guys and ladies serving the customers for looking after us for a quick service and the special welcome during the holy month of Ramadan. Big boss was not on the floor today was told he is visiting Birmingham. Your crew is doing a great job brother look after them they all deserve a big SHABASH 💚💚

Super fast service for a group booking. Fish & chapali kebab was super tasty.

Taste of Pakistan serves the best Lamb Charsi Karahi you’ll ever have! The quality is always top-tier, the flavors are rich and authentic, and every bite melts in your mouth. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and not once have I had a complaint—just pure satisfaction every time. The respect and hospitality from the staff, especially Nas, make the experience even better. If you want real, unbeatable Pakistani food, this is the place. Alhamdulilah, always on point!

Alhumdhulilah. Best pakistani food to date. Cannot get better

Great restaraunt to eat in. Really good food, ive been there few times and love the chapli kebabs. Owner is a top guy always comes to our table to show love. Also i love reading his replies on google, got good banter 😅

The bald guy was extremely rude and the food was disgusting

Delicious food . Everything was tasty. Thank you for the complimentry biryani :)

Great pakistani food We had lamb leg amazing taste Fast and friendly service Bit crowded but that is nature of cuisine

this place is absolutely amazing! the food is absolutely divine— full of flavour and cooked to perfection. the owner is incredibly warm and interactive with all his customers. he makes everyone feel welcome, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere. a must visit. ~ love from tooting

Food is the best. Best Asian lamb curry you will find. Hands down.

I went even afterwards but can't update review, now today we were like more than dozens friends and colleagues, food was better, especially chicken karahi, Grill was given after Karahi so didn't enjoy as it should be given earlier and grill didn't taste good even but chicken karahi and lamb ones were perfect. Naan a bit hard, a crispy like which doesn't look good with karahi. Mango lassi was great and at the end a fine qehwa with sweet almonds, wow. Manager visited each table personally to ask, that's a good thing. Atleast better than wattan in Southall. Previous visit: was an enjoyable experience, The manager was friendly, Food made a bit of trouble in my stomach but maybe I ate too much lol(not much), The chicken wasn't cleaned properly (feathers)

The Lamb Charsi Karahi single-handedly earns this eatery a position at the top of the five best Pakistani eateries in UK

They need to grow they fighting for salad 🥗

Taste of Pakistan in Hounslow delivers authentic Peshawari street food flavors with a traditional touch. I tried their Chapli kebabs, which were delicious, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. However, they were slightly dry, so I’d rate them 8/10. Their Sindhi biryani had an amazing taste, but the presence of many broken chicken bones made it difficult to fully enjoy. I’d rate it 7/10. The staff were very cooperative and friendly, adding to the overall experience. To end the meal, they served us green tea (Kawa) and sweet almonds as a complimentary treat, which was a lovely touch Overall, Taste of Pakistan offers a great selection of traditional dishes that truly capture the essence of Pakistani cuisine.

We found this place after watching a YouTube video of Latif Inspired. We came all the way from Walton on Thames. We ordered the Chapli kebab and mixed grill platter with the large Naan. The food was delicious and worth the drive. The Chapli was so moist and perfectly spiced. The platter was amazing. Naan was so soft. This will definitely go on our frequent places to visit. It is a pity that Uber does not deliver to our area.

Just sent £61.00 food was cold and tasteless, and I also waited 30 minutes to seated.. staff need training

Naan massive. Biggest I have ever seen, but I was on edge all day... Deli belly.

This is proper 10/10. Came from Manchester with the lads. Didnt disappoint. Well done on a quality establishment.

Probably, the best kebab place in West London. Never disappointed.

One of the best Pakistani restaurants in London. Food is of very good quality and the prices are good, the owner is very welcoming bringing a good energy to the place and always checks on his customers. I have been coming here years with family and have never had an issue !

Masala fish and Charsi lamb karahi is one of the best. Chicken tikka is below average.

Standard has to be raised but more.. food is excellent.

Wow such a great delicious food and a great service and staff. So tasty pakistani dishes. lovely so adorable

Food is amazing however it's very busy and over crowded you feel rushed as people are waiting for tables

Amazing authentic Pakistani food. Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Special mention too the owner who made our experience that much better.

The service is attentive and our waitress tried really hard. Repeated the order to make sure it was correct. The staff are really nice and want to please you. The food arrived in her promised 15 minutes. Lamb chops quite skinny so did not need to be incinerated. Chicken Karahi was good and a large portion for 1/4 size. Lovely gravy and not not too spicy. Tandoori Roti arrived hot and they use a nice brown flour. Little salad served when you arrive and it was a nice complimentary touch. The chapli kebab i saw looked top class. The owners need to clean this place up a bit. Very tired walls and paint peeling off doors. The toilets were wet and not so hygienic. Not good enough in 2025. Now the caution part. Don't wear your smart clothes or your best suit. The cooking aroma inside is intense. You will surely need a thorough shower and ALL your clothes in the washing machine. This would put me off a repeat visit or wait till summer and sit outside.

It was super good, he took care of us and it’s halal!

Very basic atmosphere. Food came fast but the taste was missing the wow factor. There was no waiting area and staff was pleasant but toilets were not clean .

Five Star. Absolutely fantastic.

Food was rank not cooked how Pakistani food should be gave a lamb karahi which just had meat put in and not cooked with the curry. Lamb chops tasted dead biriyani taste worse than southall £3 one . Brought out mains before starters then when I asked where are starters they said oh you want starters first lol

Pathetic experience i took oder on call for take away and special gave instructions for the extra gravy but when we open at home it was totally dry lamb and dry chicken without gravy disappointed even specially gave instructions. And next day stomach problem vomits.

Best food and good taste Chapli kebab top qulity and Top taste And my best dish is charsi lamb karahi.

The customer service is bad , wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Taste-wise, still nothing can beat TOP. Also great service, love the banter. Thank you.

To be honest it was very nice food and tasty 😋 Also the waiter (Qasir Ali) he was very friendly and helpful, i hope to see him again ♥️ Kedin from jordan .

A wonderful representation of Pakistani food and culture. Food was wonderful, all dishes were perfectly seasoned and spiced - particular highlights were the Chapli kebab and the Karahi- so so good. But what made it stand out was the service - the owner clearly has deep passion for the food, the service, his staff and that was evident through the whole experience. Cannot recommend enough!!

Two Egyptian bald brothers are back , my brother dropped a review and I must too , I ordered few hours back take way , as usual for like the 10th time , food is banging , the server was helpful , two guys behind the counter , proper helpful and the owner mashallah takes his business serious and said Salam to myself and brother and checked multiple times if we been served , allow the hate , because you see a guy successfully doing well, eat and enjoy , say mashallah.. thank you to your team and yourself as always .. 🙌

The family came round so went to pick up everyone’s favourite which is ‘Chapli kebab and Peshawari Naan’. Seven people comfortably ate one portion and as ever loved it. Thanks again TOP.

Food- 10/10 Atmosphere - 10/10 Owner - 100/10 The place is amazing, but the owner makes this place even better.

They used to be good but now food taste is not good at all, Lamb karahi was just ok rest everything was below average, Kabli Pulao was full of oil, mixed grill was tasteless and hard. Will not visit again.

Filthy so called restaurant, very greasy. Can not taste anything. Karahi meat is pre boiled probably 3-4 days ago, chapli kabab full of onions,green chillies with very poor quality mince meat. Would strongly advise NO ONE TO WASTE THEIR MONEY AT THIS FLITHY TASTE OF PAKISTAN.

Had an amazing family dinner at Taste of Pakistan Hounslow! We ordered Lamb and Chicken Charsi Karahi—both were bursting with flavor. The highlight of our visit was the owner’s hospitality. He personally checked on us and even brought complimentary Chapli Kabab, which was juicy and cooked to perfection. The owner’s warm service made everyone feel valued.Great authentic food, incredible service highly recommend this place!

We recently visited Taste of Pakistan in Hounslow to celebrate my father’s birthday with a group of 15, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a memorable evening. The food was absolutely fantastic—authentic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every dish brought out the rich and diverse flavors of Pakistani cuisine, and the quality was consistent across the board. To top it off, we were treated to complimentary mango lassi, which was a delightful touch and an instant hit with everyone at the table. Despite the restaurant being quite crowded (a true testament to how popular and well-loved this place is), the service was efficient, and we didn’t have to wait long for our meals. The hustle and bustle only added to the lively ambiance, making it feel like a true community gathering spot. We left with full stomachs and happy hearts, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Taste of Pakistan is definitely worth a visit—highly recommended for authentic Pakistani food lovers!

We had Chapli Kebab, Chicken Karahi and Naan this afternoon and it was amazing. I must say they server one of the best Pakitani dishes in the United Kingdom

Overall it's very good, decent mixed grills and curries. The portions are generous so you'll certainly leave with full stomach. Certainly one of the best in London, they get busy so book table or go during lunchtime in the week where it's more quiet and relaxing.

Food is brilliant atmosphere bit on the down side

The food at Taste of Pakistan is delicious, especially the Chapli Kebabs, which have an authentic flavor. The staff is very supportive and welcoming. However, the Kebabs are too spicy for some people, including children—it would be great to offer both spicy and non-spicy options. Additionally, the restaurant lacks proper family spaces. Adding a private area for families would enhance the dining experience.

Food was all good. Lamb karahi was the best …

Food was good not as good as my last visits

Taste was amazing Highly recommended for food lover

Went to this Restaurant and we had a great experience. The Staff were very helpful and the food was fantastic. The naan, curry and rice was amazing and we hope to come here again in the future.

The place truly lives up to its hype. The food is really good; it's pretty close to authentic Pakistani cuisine. We ordered the charsi lamb and chicken karhai, and both were bangers. The lamb seekh kebabs were also delicious, but the star of the menu is definitely the chapli kebabs- very juicy and cooked perfectly. If you love South Asian food, this place in Hounslow is a MUST VISIT. However, the ambiance is a bit meh, and the biryani doesn't have potatoes- as a Karachiiite, i was disappointed, lol. Still, 10 on 10 recommended!

Going down over the years. Still very busy, clearly doing something right

I very nice food test of pakistan my customer must from test of pakistan we are slough high Zaiitoon restaurant

We thought we would try the restaurant out.l, due to the publicity on YouTube. Well what can we say, it was poor, the food was pathetic and it certainly wasn’t a taste of Pakistan. The Khari Chicken was pathetic, kebabs full of haldi, nan and roti tasted like baked bread and the sauces should taste refreshing- it was all rubbish

always hot and fresh place always the same taste 👍

We ordered Kebabs, Balochi Sajji Whole Chicken & Peshawari Naan. My daughter loved the chicken even with the spice level. The food was super! Thanks again. Please try & stock Palestine Cola!

I came here with my family and food came out piping hot very nice food all the staff is very nice and I would highly recommend all to come here TEAM TOP 🇵🇰

Loved the food and staff very friendly.

I've been coming here for years now and I'm still just as happy as I was when I first came. From the moment you walk into Taste of Pakistan you feel at home. The staff are friendly and top notch. I can unequivocally say this is possibly the best restaurant I have eaten in the UK. This is by no means an exaggeration - the fresh and wholesome deliciously cooked food, coupled with the attentive, professional and endearing Owner, Naseer makes this restaurant's ambience feel so inviting and relaxing. And that's why I keep going back.

Excellent food and service. They have mostly female waitresses which is great for families now. Freshly made Karahi’s and amazing kebabs and BBQ especially lamb chops and Afghani tikka. Thank you Taste of Pakistan.. I visited after watching Latif inspired on You tube. I totally agree with everything he said and recommend. Will be bank soon

Expensive very very expensive for the taste and quality which is average no sauce in gravy, the huge naan was dry. Wouldn't recommend. Hype for no reason. AVOID.

Delicious food and excellent service. The owner was very welcoming and gave us green tea, malai kulfi sugary almonds on the house after our meal - which was very kind of him. Highly recommend!

We ordered our New Years Take out today and loved it. We arrived at 17:45 and saw at least 20 members of staff working flat out. I asked if I could meet the owner as I wanted to congratulate him on the stand he was taking against fake/lying reviews. Sadly he wasn’t there so I never got a selfie opportunity. Happy New Year to everyone at TOP. Quick update. I finally met the owner on 4th January when having my birthday meal with the family. Lovely man.

Food was great. Bald guy was rude and stingy+pathetic washrooms

Food was nice as you would expect from a restaurant serving Pakistani / Peshawari food, nothing out of ordinary so not sure what the hype is all about. Service needs improvement as its overcrowded and staff seemed overworked and stretched to limits, lacked basic training on restaurant etiquettes. You can expect your starters to arrive after the main course (like we had), not unusual for desi places to deal like this! And yes its cash only place or bank transfer. No cards accepted

Great Service, food was delicious and food portions are massive. Greeted by the owner who made sure we were good for food and drinks. A MUST return restaurant.

I went there yesterday.Every dish was amazing.Service was quick.Portions were large as mention on menu card.But they need improvement on their plates.spoons,jugs and glasses.They were dirty and I cleaned it with napkins.Then I put my food on my plate.The owner needs to ask the staff to clean plates and everything properly.
