Dilpasand Restaurant

Dilpasand - Review - Whitechapel - London - The Infatuation

"Dilpasand’s gola kebab is reason enough to visit the casual Pakistani and Indian restaurant solo. The soft, herby patties are served with flaky lachha paratha, green chutney, and flash-fried onions. Rip, scoop, dip, repeat. We suggest coming with more people though—whether for date night or a post-work team meal over BYOB Kingfishers. There’s a buzzy atmosphere in the evening, especially towards the end of the week. And although the gold-accented dining room is a little chintzy, it feels more ‘special occasion’ than other Whitechapel BYOB spots. Coming in a group also means you can share more dishes. The biryani is a little one note, so instead get a kulcha naan or huge Afghani naan to soak up the rich lamb nihari. The stew is thin and deeply spiced with warming cloves and ginger, and the slow-braised lamb shank slips off the bone at a mere nudge. photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat Pause Unmute" - Daisy Meager
