I was craving an authentic Pakistani breakfast, and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the halwa puri nashta and desi chai. The puri was a decent size, but the plate of channa could be bigger; hence, we ordered a second plate. The food was delicious and reasonably priced too.

Must say one of the best Tawa grills I've had since last 3yrs. Just £20 for Tawa grill for 2ppl and we still had to pack some kebabs & tikka due to the generous portions served. You get the choose the curry (in centre) which I took liver masala and it was mind blowingly yummmilicious...The lamb chops melted in mouth and the kebabs were just perfect. The tikka was flavoury too and the naan was soooo sooooft and yummy... Icing on the cake was their service with polite and kind staff who insisted me on eating first before paying (not something u get to experience much these days) and kept checking on us if we need anything. Also the restaurant ambience is perfect for a family outing. They've recommended me to try their karahi dishes next time which are made 'fresh on order' so it's best to call them 30mins before visiting to avoid waiting in the restaurant. Deffo coming back with more family & friends, it's a bargain if you go for the Tawa for 4 or 8 as the price gets lower and quantity increases.

The food experience was very good. I have tried Whole Chicken (Deghi), Chicken Karahi, Mutton Karahi, and Kulfi. The taste was excellent. The service was very good. The atmosphere is normal. They don't have a well dining-in area. Rates are normal, too. If you want good food taste with normal dinning and ambiance then this is recommended place. I have also taken parcel (pickup), and service was fast. They don't do deliveroo now. Love to visit them again for Breakfast.

Wonderful experience at Lahori Sawad today. They have read dishes as well as Ale Carte. As I was hungry and had to eat alone....I went with prepared meal. I have the Kofta and Aanda. It was like home made and tasted really good. The price was very reasonable and the guys were up to the mark with quick service. It was a wonderful experience. Nice clean place, good food and fast service with cheap prices. What else could a person ask for. Well done.

Great Pakistani food! All their curries are tasty and they are also very well priced...not expensive. Plenty of seating area, with comfortable and cushioned seats. Service with a smile! Definitely recommend this place for anytime of the day - breakfast, elevensies, lunch, tea time, supper, dinner - anytime is Lahori Sawad time.
