Neighbourhood gem

BYO curry house serving Pakistani cuisine. Established in 1995, Lahore Karahi is a family-run restaurant. Despite the complexity of our dishes, our recipe for a great evening is simple: mouth-watering food, a lively atmosphere and close friends. Because we don’t just want to make great curry, no – we want our food to bring people together.

And we think it does. When you come to Lahore Karahi on any given evening, you’ll hear friends laughing, glasses clinking and food sizzling. For us, that’s mission accomplished. If that sounds like your kind of evening, then you know where to find us.

When it comes to London curry houses, our name has been dropped in a number of top-ten lists (a top-five too, actually), but we don’t like to rest on our laurels – we’d rather you come and taste for yourself. We make food that’s quick, flavourful and affordable, so whether you want to stop by for a sit-down meal or grab a takeaway, we’re certain we’ll be seeing you again.

Turned up with 10 people to find that I had booked for the following night. The staff were happy to accommodate. Service was excellent, food outstanding and value for money some of the best in london.

I thought that, because the ability to bring your own alcohol leads to this restaurant having a more western clientele than some of Tooting’s other Pakistani restaurants, the food might be compromised. This was not the case. Everything we ordered was excellent and served by enthusiastic and helpful staff. Great experience. Can’t wait to go again.

The food at Lahore Karahi is amazing, especially for the price. It’s a very popular place, especially at the weekend. Because of this it’s very loud and chaotic. The tables are too close together and you have to shout if you want to have a conversation. We had to repeat or order multiple times as the server couldn’t hear us. We also had to ask 5 times for water. It’s unfortunate that let it down because the food was impeccable!

Food was good. The table was all set up for when we got there. It was quiet as well at the time we went. We did get charged for condiments that we didn’t order which was not right. That’s what put us off slightly.

We love Lahore Karahi, we’ve been coming here for years. The food is delicious and great value for money. It’s very busy and lively, I would recommend booking, although you may still have to wait a little while for your table, you will be prioritised. A Tooting Gem!
