"People go out of their way to get to Taste Of Pakistan. Piles of friends, families emerging from gleaming 4x4s in the driveway, and pretty much anyone who wants to eat some of London’s best Pashtun food. Much of this restaurant’s energy comes from Naseer—the guv’nor—who is Hounslow’s answer to both Phil Mitchell and Stanley Tucci. He moves around the gleaming white room checking in on your chapli kebab (crispy, juicy), asking if your Peshwari naan is big enough (billowing), and ladling kabli pulao (outstanding) for you. Lunch is a breeze but if you want to have a big blowout dinner, then booking is essential." - jake missing
