"A small, joyful spot in a White City brutalist development whose bright, pastel interior matches food that reimagines Karachi street and home cooking through a modern London lens. Chef Aida Khan’s dishes are thoughtfully presented and reliably flavorful: a tender, smoky lamb shoulder enhanced by black cardamom and a sweet, crunchy slaw; light, buttery sourdough naan; vegetable pakora that’s crisp outside and juicy within; and a delicately aromatic chicken malai boti. Warm, enthusiastic service and a consistently joyful dining atmosphere make it feel like a welcome escape from the surrounding concrete." - Feroz Gajia
