There was only one thing pissing me off more than the commute last week, and that was xenophobic, islamophobic grunts smashing towns up.
So I went to a Pakistani restaurant, Taste of Lahore, for my lunch.
A smart, clean looking restaurant just opposite the M&S on Edgware Road, they have a very extensive menu as everywhere seems to have around here.
So I stuck to the specials and the waiter’s recommendation which was the Nihari, plus I ordered some naan bread to go with it…I was getting a vibe of needing to dip bread.
What arrived was a lamk shank in a huge bowl of gravy…where is this amount of gravy when you go for a Sunday roast in London?
The shank itself on the pink side, not the meatiest ever but commendable. The spicy gravy was the stand out part, hot in terms of temperature with a spicy twang. This was of course more fun with the naan…which was decent but didn’t seem especially fresh or homemade. Maybe it was homemade, I’m not going to pronounce myself a naan expert, but it did seem similar in texture to those from M&S.
A crisp salad came with it too, all fresh.
Not an especially outstanding meal, which cost around £22, but I’d go back.
7 out of 10.
