"Curry recommendations can send you all over London, but you’ll find the silkiest charsi karahi and the most gargantuan Afghan naans close to Heathrow Airport. If anything, Taste of Pakistan is more hectic than a departures terminal. The Pashtun favourite is more akin to a club, with 4x4s pulling up outside come dinner and hordes of friends and families settling into the pared-back, white-lit dining room, ready to take down frisbee-shaped chapli kebabs and mountains of kabli pilau. A restaurant with this much buzz often has a face and Taste of Pakistan’s is Naseer—proprietor and all-round guv’nor—who works the room making sure everyone is happy. Needless to say, they are." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
