"Patiently waiting in Tayyabs’ line while listening to a soundtrack of jingling beer bottles in blue bags is a quintessential London experience. This mammoth Punjabi restaurant in Whitechapel is arguably London’s most famous BYOB spot. It’s so well-known that an artist once sent one of Tayyabs’ moreish lamb chops into space. But jumping on the Overground to get a sizzling platter is much easier. Inside the energy is somewhere between a wedding and a hurricane and, when it comes to restaurants for a big group, few places in London do it better." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
