"Gifto’s Lahore Karahi on Southall Broadway feels much warmer than the stark, cavernous space suggests. The rows of long, canteen-style sharing tables are where families pile in, in a jumble of noise, as sizzling skillets of fragrant chapli kebab are whisked to tables. Booths pushed up against bare walls are somewhere you could hunker down in, as attentive staff buzz about. If fall-apart meat in a rich, tomatoey, ginger and cardamom-spiked masala sounds good to you, the chef’s special peshwari chicken is a must-order. There’s nothing to steal focus from the food in a stripped-back spot like this, and Gifto’s doesn’t need the accessories." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager
